Of course, it would also help to have a jack and wrench as well if you carry a spare.

The OEM tires with the self-sealing goo built into them may take care of many situations where spraying the sealant goo into the tire would work. But the kit with the sealant goo may be more likely to be helpful if you choose different tires without the self-sealing goo built into them.

The inflexibility of choosing cloth/leather separately from other options is the result of a simplified options list. Basically, there are only 12 possible option configurations in a Bolt, other than colors. This is in six levels: LT + Comfort and Convenience + Driver Confidence I Premier +...

Yes, one EVSE is included with the Bolt. It is can do 8A or 12A at 120V (1 to 1.4 kW) plugged into a typical NEMA 5-15R receptacle (the usual ones around the house). It can be used on 240V (2.8 kW) with an adapter for the 240V receptacle that you have (e.g...

The Bolt has a 12V battery.

On http://www.chevrolet.com/byo-vc/client/en/US/chevrolet/bolt-ev/2017/bolt-ev/color , if you change the picture to the interior picture showing the dash, you will find that changing the interior colors on the configurator does not change the white and gray colors on the dash (but does change...

The package with the heated seats will help you reduce electricity consumption during cold weather, if you use the heated seats to allow using the cabin heater less. The cabin heater makes a much more noticeable effect on consumption.

If you look on GM parts online web sites for a Bolt battery, you will see that a quiet engineering change has already been made, since there are two versions of the Bolt battery that can be ordered.

On a long flat bridge, I did some experiments with the cruise control set at 65mph with light traffic and minimal wind. Normally I see about 17-18 kW on the energy consumption display in the dash under these conditions. But I saw as much as 27 kW with the cabin heater on, indicating range...

When the weather gets cold, do you use the cabin heater? That has a significant effect on consumption and therefore estimated range.

https://www.gmpartworld.com/auto-parts/2017/chevrolet/bolt-ev/premier-trim/electric-engine/electric-propulsion-system-cat/battery-scat offers a Bolt battery for $14,126.14 (first design) or $14,625 (second design). Obviously does not include installation.

The Volt may not be a good comparison, since it has a very large buffer capacity. Teslas have different battery chemistry. But also earlier ones had the free Supercharging, which may have been harder on the batteries than nightly home charging.

Late afternoon and evening (17:00 to 21:00) tend to be the higher electricity use time, and also when solar installations provide less or no power into the grid. So that would be the worst time to charge an EV if you are thinking of global or grid-level effects. 06:00 to 07:00 on work days is...

A short range EV may require "harder" charge-discharge patterns than a long-range EV with similar battery chemistry and management (cooling, hidden buffer, etc.). 1. More likely to discharge deeply in daily use. 2. More likely to need to charge every day (i.e. more charging cycles). 3. More...

The distance to empty displays in liquid fueled vehicles are not conceptually different, and are subject to the same fluctuations based on how efficiently the vehicle has been driven recently. However, some specific situations can affect electric vehicles and liquid fueled vehicles differently...

If your car has heated seats, using them consumes much less energy than using the cabin heat.

There is speculated headroom, but no confirmation from GM. Although even if there is 10% more battery than the nominal 60 kWh, a full charge-discharge would be something like 95-5, not 85-25. However, most people do not wait until very low charge levels before recharging (just like they do not...

Hilltop reserve mode stops charging at 87-90% full, rather than 100% full. The idea is that if you live on top of a hill, you leave some of the battery empty to be able to regenerate energy into the battery as you drive down the hill (if the battery is 100% full, you would have to dissipate it...
