    Can I use a splitter to charge 2 Bolts?

    Actually, now that you mention it, nothing that's posted makes sense. Using the "OEM" charger on a 50 amp RV plug with an adapter? So they can get level 2 charging? What's going on here exactly? Is the original poster taking a NEMA 14-50 plug and splitting it in to two legs of 110V? That's not...

    Can I use a splitter to charge 2 Bolts?

    The answer is, as always, yes AND no! First off, a single Bolt will pull 32 amps. Two Bolts on the same circuit will pull 64 amps. If you have a 50 amp breaker, you'll blow the breaker. It doesn't "divide" the current. You can ASK any outlet in your house for a hundred amps, and it will GIVE...

    .

    Mine kicked in a few times this summer when the temperature was insanely hot, around 107F, so it cools as well. As for the graph, do remember that the whole pie is the energy since last charge, so that 5% is out of the 3kWh and not the entire pack capacity. It only took a tiny sip. Even on...

    Bolt EV Key Not Recognized

    I'm not sure any of the keyfob recognition has ANYTHING to do with the Keypass settings. Keypass is strictly for your bluetooth, and as far as I can tell, is really only a second way to connect to the car to perform the "button" functions that are available through the app. On the other hand...

    Rattle from steering column area on rough roads?

    That post helps. Found the culprit. It's the bolt on the lower part of the U-joint where the spline actually comes OUT of the floor. not where the U-joint connects to the long shaft that goes up the steering column. There's no way that was properly torqued, or if it was, something is clearly...

    Rattle from steering column area on rough roads?

    First of all, the car is driving and acting perfectly fine. Couldn't be happier. BUT for the past few months I've been noticing a little bit of a rattle coming from the steering column area. To me, it seems like there's the slightest bit of lash somewhere in the system and it manifests when...

    Remote start not working

    Don't use Onstar, it's terrible. Just don't. Use CarPlay or Android Auto. It's still got kinks, but it's the only way to fly (aside from staring at your phone) and it's way faster to set up your destination. If your phone doesn't support it, I'd suggest updating as a matter of safety. But it...

    Vehicle status - "KeyPass Setup Required"

    The Chevy app is horrible. That's the problem. Read no further, since the rest of this post is just whining about how bad the MyChevrolet app is. It suffers from some of the worst "Feature Creep" since AOL instant messenger. I get the "Low range" battery zero thing all the time. For a while...

    Flaky bluetooth continues...

    Is there anything else nearby, in the car, etc that's using 2.4 ghz? Bluetooth is pretty good about interference, but nothing is completely immune. The thing to do would be to test it with somebody else's phone. Alternatively, maybe the bluetooth radio in your iphone is squirrely. Trust me...

    So do you think they'll really kill the federal $7500?

    Who knows? Who COULD know? That money is important for now. I figure it's giving the manufacturers a little extra cash while they learn how to more efficiently produce the cars and scale things up. Get rid of the $7500 credit and cut GMs taxes to 20%? Suppose they'll pass those tax savings on...

    service brake life

    Here's another good point - The brakes aren't being "used up" when you're holding the pedal down and stopped. They're just clamping the caliper. It's all that damn rubbing. They only time you're really using the brake is if you're coasting in N and braking (Stupid idea anyway) or you're...

    Recommended seat covers?

    I wouldn't order anything either - If they have custom seat covers, they could at least take photos of them in a Bolt rather than just the same picture photoshopped with all the different options.

    Airbag light came on, stayed on, then turned off?

    Thanks for the feedback. So far there's been no evidence AT ALL. Of any kind. The car has been completely silent, which I'm happy about. I'm glad it's not one of those stupid things that stays tripped, necessitating a trip to the dealer. Time will tell I guess. Sure would be nice if the error...

    Airbag light came on, stayed on, then turned off?

    So the other day, when I was merging onto the 110 in crazy traffic, I *may* have laid a tiny patch of rubber, which sometimes happens, right? But then the airbag light came on, and then the speedometer screen said airbag malfunction, lots of chiming, and general nervous-making. I pulled into...

    L.A. Bolt owners - Meet-up drive to Newcomb's Ranch!

    Well, the bikers and the Porsche drivers sure like it - It's a thing. On your way up you'll pass a convoy of 1969 Dodge Corey Cruisers on their way down, followed by antique motorcycles, etc. I'm sure the Teslas did it, so why not the everyman's EV? It's time. It's a rite. 10,000 on mine -...
