If you are using the A/C heater (as opposed to seat heaters). It will significantly impact your range.

I have been using the VXDAS EL-50448 for my 2018 Bolt, $10 on Amazon.

Is the green light slow flashing, solid, or fast flashing (then count the number of flash in the fast portion)? If a charging schedule has been set then it doesn't charge during the 'don't charge' time. For those of us that have a time of use power plan this is used so that it won't charge...

I have know people who have had this issue before the battery replacement. It is not related to battery replacement.

Double check your 12V battery and cables.

The only advantage I see for the LED replacements is lifetime. Having a headlight fail at night can be very annoying. A couple of decades ago I had both headlights fail while driving one night (not at the same time). It is easy for me to change the bulb but I think for most people that isn't true.

Our service update would have been $150 but they were already doing a software update covered under warranty/recall so they didn't charge for it. Since this is not considered safety/recall related service they don't have to do it for free. But some dealers have unnecessarily replaced brake...

Our 2018 had started doing this a few months after our battery replacement. We thought, oh no now what. Others we know it happened as recently as last fall. It is not related to the battery replacement. Let the dealer know this is Service Bulletin 20-NA-170. This is for models year 2017-2020...

This sounds like a problem that a dealer will likely be the best option. Limitations on charging can be because of a battery issue. If you have resolved this could you please post what was you found out and how it was resolved.

While haven't ICE'd yet were we Tesla'd. We planned a stop at the Camirillo Premium Outlet Mall to use the DC fast charger. It tends to be very crowded on weekends. When we stopped there a Tesla Model S had decided that the charger location is really a private parking space for themselves...

We did the experiment today with our 2018 Bolt. Start of trip, predicted 256 mi predicted range. We drove 121 miles using a reported 29.1KWhr. It reported an average 4.2mi/kWhr. The reported remaining range at the end of the trip was 130 mi. These number seem very consistent with having a...

I am curious if anyone has tried using the Nissan 2018 LEAF 240V EVSE on a Bolt EV?

7+ of years using just L1 on our Leaf. Addition of a Bolt this year and still using L1 for both.
