Can we expect the Chevy Bolt to have a fold flat front passenger seat? Hope so as this is a just a brilliant feature for a small SUV hatchback to have!
But it is one of those easier things to develop, much unlike some running component which factors in far more R&D resources. Instead it's one of those cheap and easy wins for Chevy
The seat hinge line is at the same level as the lower portion of the seat. The cushioning of the lower and back parts of the seat interferes unless the seat hinge line is higher than the lower seat. See rear seats:
I just don't see what they wouldn't give the seats that function. It makes transporting awkward objects much easier. It's one of the most advanced EVs around but it doesn't include technology that lets the seats fold down? Come on.
I'll reiterate that this is a moot discussion, but think about it like a GM lawyer. The front seats provide a (marginal) safety barrier between the driver and the cargo. What happens when you're carrying a bunch of 2x4s resting on a folded passenger seatback and they fall over on you while cornering. Your wife and the parents of all the kids in the schoolbus you collided into sue GM.
If we happen to not get this option, there might be the possibility of getting some shop to do this for us, can't be that hard. But I can't imagine many people going through with it.

As an aftermarket modification, this would be very challenging. Now if you have a seat in mind that fits the rail attach locations for the OEM seat, it would be easy. But I doubt that seat exists. If you want a shop to modify an OEM seat, you're asking them to heavily modify a key structure that keeps your butt safe in a crash. Any shop that actually knows what they're doing won't touch this kind of work.

That's extremely true, even more so when the Bolt EV comes close to the Trax in how it serves when you forget about the powertrain. Only makes sense. Like said before, easy win for them.
There's been some information posted about swapping the interior lights out of the bolt, but I thought I'd contribute a bit further with information that I could not find easily.
There are 5 interior bulbs, all of them are 194 size wedge-based bulbs.
I started at the rear, and the only tool I...
Does anybody know what this hook is called and/or where I can find one? This is the little round insert piece in the trunk area that you attach the luggage cover shade thingie to. I lost one of 'em. My searching is hampered by not knowing the right term. Thanks!
I've seen what some people have chosen on various threads but still not what I am looking for.
I want my phone up high so I don't look down. However, I keep my seat pretty far back so I have to stretch some to touch the screen or center controls as it is.
I tried one holder attached to the top...
Hi!
I'm not quite sure where to put that question since it could end up as a different topic quickly.
So here my issue: Nowadays when I move to work (or drive back) this is the sunrise/sunset but the sun is still strong so I need my sunglass. However, my car doesn't think so and put my screens...
Does anyone have the WeatherTech cargo liner for the false floor?

I can’t tell from the photos/renders if it impedes accessing under the floor or not. The lip around the edge is nice but I’m finding we...
