You might want try contacting the Gold Coast chapter of the Electric Vehicle Association out of Pompano Beach. They seem to have a Twitter page at: https://twitter.com/gceaa

I have never had any contact with them and don't even know if that chapter is still functioning, but if it is I suspect somebody would have a Bolt.

The most recent tweet there was 11-1/2 years ago. And the link to the website fails to find a server.

I am not really surprised, too many Electric Auto/Vehicle Association chapters have always been more like morning coffee groups for seniors. Once a few core folks can no longer attend, the groups just fade away. The national organization keeps them on their chapter list to look good, but it is of no real benefit to anyone.

It's unfortunate, but it seems like most EV clubs, groups, meetups, etc. Have kind of faded out of existence. At least in florida.. I've been looking for one to join too but every group Ive found hasn't been active for years!! There's discord servers and such you can join, but maybe you can try to make one yourself?

Back in 2017, we had a group in central Virginia that met for lunches, and most showed up at the EV promotional events. I personally spent the full event each time answering questions, and dragging people away from the Teslas to check out the Bolt. COVID put a stop to that. Many of us were older, and haven't been to one since. Waiting to see how things are next spring. I really miss those events.

Perhaps it is time to start fresh again as more Bolt are on the road. Anyone from Southeast Florida here?
