It might be a bad charger but here's some things to look at: 1. You can set the charging amps in the settings. I'd try the lowest one and see what happens. 2. Move the charger to an outlet on another circuit. 3. Take a picture of your dash when you have the charger plugged in and post it...

Welcome. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish about resetting the electronics to "factory new". You can change just about any setting yourself., and you'll probably want to set them to your personal preferences anyway. If you don't have an owner's manual, there's probably one...

That's ~50K miles per year. That's a lot of driving!!

Kudos to you. The world needs more people with that attitude.

wow! You must be considerable younger than me. Wouldn't it be cool to be one of the first to never own an ICE in your lifetime?

Much better than paying for gas and don't forget the cost savings on maintenance (no oil changes, etc). Plus you're not polluting as much....

Yes, that helps a lot. Thanks @JamesG

Thanks for the detail. Looks like you averaged around 3.9 miles/kWh for the whole trip, which is excellent! Can you provide more detail about charging stops (locations) along the BRP? I'd also like to do the BRP. thanks

Thanks for the link. EA throttled back some chargers from 150 to 50. It looks like they are trying to fix that. They were always supposed to be 150, so in that sense it's not a change. But in the sense of it actually working at 150 it is a (welcome) change.

I'm not sure what "canbus" is but some cars (maybe the Bolt?) measure the resistance in the light circuits and if it's too high, it throws an error code thinking there's a burned out bulb. To fix that, some people add resistors in the line when they install LEDs. Does "canbus" fix that?

Are you sure about that? I think the charging rate is the same as the old ones, but hopefully the new ones actually work.

EA used at least 3 manufacturers of chargers during their start up. Some were more reliable than others. They are removing the unreliable ones and replacing them with more reliable units. They started this process maybe 6 weeks ago....I don't know how long it will take to complete the process.

The letter from GM sounds like gibberish to me. What you were told sounds like the way it should be. Edit: If they give you a hassle for turning it in early, just keep it for the extra month. You're making the lease payment either way. You don't have to actually drive it during that month if...

Glad you were finally able to charge. Yep, I've had my card declined several times by EA. I looked at my account, checked the card number, expiration date, etc and everything was fine. Go figure. You're right about EA getting things fixed, and fast. I've been saying this for the past year...

Yes, that's correct. Some people (including me if my wife wasn't in the car) use the heated seats and heated steering wheel and forgo the regular heat while driving. One tip is to precondition your car while plugged in. That way you draw power from the grid to heat your car. You get into a...

I wanted the premier trim but my dealer only had LT (with a couple of packages) on his lot. I got everything I really needed (blind spot monitor, back up camera, heated front seats, etc). I decided I could live without leather seats, top view camera, rear heated seats, adaptive cruise and...

I didn't real through all 5 pages of comments, so I don't know if this has been mentioned, but the Bolt has an automatic defrost setting that makes the heat (or A/C) come on when you least expect it. I believe the function is set to "on" by default. You can change it by going into the settings...

This is great news! Finally GM is getting some skin in the charging network game.

Congrats. Blue is a great color for the Bolt.

Maybe this will help a little: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inm_1MvThBM
