    Anyone else having trouble with going to fast?

    I dunno - I wasn't in the car, but I did set the Teen Driver to nag at 75 for her commute today, and I haven't heard about it yet, so we'll see what happens. I also had to remind her that we'd miss her if she got herself killed. But yeah, it's easy to end up going like a bat out of hell in...

    Anyone else having trouble with going to fast?

    My wife, who loves car accidents and tickets brought the car back home Tuesday with about half a battery left for a 50 mile round trip. Sheepishly admitted to driving about 95 MPH. How she did that down the 210 is beyond me. Anybody have experience with the teen driver speed warning?

    Aftermarket (Yakima, Thule, Rhino) racks for Bolt

    The lack of OEM crossbars is silly, and the price of a Yakima WindNoiseMaker is embarrassing. Are all rail mounting hole spacings the same on Chevys? 120 mm / ~4.75" ? So, on that note, I'm currently exploring crossbar options, including using some crap from ebay for a Honda Odyssey, which...

    California: Los Angeles to Belden, CA

    Around 4th of July I'm looking to road trip from LA to Belden, CA, up the 99. It's a 500 mile drive, so at least two fast charge spots. Then from there I'm returning to LA via a visit to Oakland. I'm looking for people's input regarding their favorite fast chargers along the way, and general...

    1st Malfunction

    Yeah mine did this too - Supposedly there's a software update for the head unit that fixes this, and I think it's TSB 17-NA-071. I did this update, and now it just crashes at the BOLT logo splash screen :-) But eventually a watchdog timer does it's job and the display resets on it's own. This...

    Honda Fuel Cell Clarity....Can't even give me one!

    Well... Do YOU see any way for hydrogen to NOT be a monopoly? And why on earth would one ever do anything to cloud their own future? There's a ton of gas out there that's just going to waste, and burning it in CNG cars just doesn't have the techno-futurism that a fuel cell car does. They use...

    Honda Fuel Cell Clarity....Can't even give me one!

    Hello, I'm sitting here wondering - has anybody bothered to mention where H2 comes from? And has anybody thought about the economics? The nice thing with the fuel cell is that the barrier to making hydrogen is extremely high. Nobody is casually start steam reforming natural gas. The problem...

    Roof cross bars?

    Hello GM! I'm wondering what the story is with OEM roof cross bars for my Bolt - I paid extra for the roof rails so I could use my Sky Box from time to time, expecting that GM would release cross-bars. I don't want to pay a ton extra again for ugly-as-sin aftermarket crossbars! When can we...

    Is HVAC burning you up too? Chevy says "nothing wrong"

    Does anybody know if there's a way to check our firmware and to see if it's updated? OR is there any chance that said firmware would come with the radio update? I took delivery at the end of December, and while I DO notice that the Auto setting isn't quite as awesome as it was on the Spark...

    Allen Gwynn in Glendale has a ton of Bolts

    Allen Gwynn has a MESS of these cars on the lot. I kinda wish I had waited before just buying the first one I could get back in December.... It's nice to see all the options. Good news is that they're moving the cars well, and the salespeople seem pretty happy with it. I'm here for service for...

    Power available at terminals of 12V battery

    What we need is an adapter that plugs in to the J-plug with a 120V power plug on it. There have been "people" saying that some day the chargers could act as inverters and put power back in to the "grid" which of course means that an EV could be configured to be a giant stand-alone inverter as...

    Infotainment Crash - Camera at 24 MPH

    So this was fun! Out on the road with full camera! And can't turn it off! Got my car back from the valet yesterday, I doubt he did anything TOO weird, although he did have some problems getting the car in to park. BUT, when we got in, we just started rolling down the road with a completely...

    Aftermarket (Yakima, Thule, Rhino) racks for Bolt

    Jeesh - Seems like an extremely expensive setup from Yakima - $414 plus shipping for something that's also outrageously tall and fugly. GM needs to get with the program with the accessories. It's probably the least complicated thing on the car. I'm close to just making my own.

    Bolt Front Seats Recall Media Campaign

    I agree. The seats are fine. Plenty of people have sat in them for plenty of hours. I did ALL DAY once and my arse felt fine. In fact, when my back aches, I fire up the seat heater and it MELTS the aches away. If you want a sofa on wheels, you should have bought a Cadillac, because they are...

    EV Owners Unfairly Targeted in New Gas Tax Bill

    Households earning over $300,000 don't get that $2500 anyway. Just let those people (who already pay 44% in taxes) subsidize everybody else? $2500 is a lot of years or cars worth $100 a year. The flat fee is a poor instrument to accomplish the goal of getting EV drivers to pay for road...

    EV Owners Unfairly Targeted in New Gas Tax Bill

    So I talked to my local assemblyman, and he said the EV fee was Jerry Brown's idea. I told him to shut it down, he mumbled a bit and agreed it was stupid, but I didn't get the feeling he was optimistic about it getting taken out. But he's trying (this is Jimmy Gomez, an EV driver, vote for him...

    200 Miles - Sausalito to Bear Valley. HEIP!

    Bruce, So here's the deal with EVgo - Their rates SUCK unless you have their cadillac plan, and it doesn't take long for the cadillac plan to make financial sense. EVgo will continue to suck, however, just less. Second, EVgo chargers WILL shut off after 30 minutes, so you have to babysit and...

    How many actual Bolt owners on this forum?

    Yeah, that wouldn't hurt for sure. I only hear ads on Public Radio and there's one billboard and a few bus stations here in Los Angeles. Let's be honest though, I doubt they could deliver enough cars if they really started advertising. They're good cars, and if people knew that, they'd be...
