    Just picked up my 2018 Bolt yesterday, 2-20-2018

    Welcome and hope that you enjoy your new Bolt! Hands free works great for me with a bluetooth connected phone and a long press of the steering wheel mic button. "call wife on cell" "text wife and say HI" etc...

    How doI know if I can use this outlet?

    We are talking about a difference in cost of $20 for 50 ft. of 6/3 VS 8/3, for me it was money well invested. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-50-ft-6-3-Stranded-Romex-SIMpull-CU-NM-B-W-G-Wire-63950032/204765156...

    Leasing discussion ("what % of people lease")

    I agree. I never follow the logic of all these lease VS purchase posts. In my opinion, no one is "taking" my $7,500, or double charging me $5,000. I agreed to pay GM $250/ month to drive a brand new $40,000 Bolt for three years. After 36 months I get to pick the best new EV on the market, with...

    My friend wants to buy an EV, and ...

    I have not purchased from them but the fine print says "Sport Fan Price includes all applicable rebates and incentives. Not all buyers will qualify." I would assume some of those incentives and rebates are state EV incentives. I would contact them and ask "what would a non-resident price be...

    Question for the community

    Same here, my use case is mostly charging at home overnight or destination charging at a hotel (L2) My desired use is occasional longer distance travel with a DCFC stop, at that stop it would be eat, walk/ stretch legs, bio break. I do make use of the available free L2 charging in our...

    I leased an EV with the DCFC option, long distance travel was a big issue for me, so before leasing I contacted the folks in NYS that were planning to install them and asked "when the DC fast charge stations that had been announced would be installed?" and I was told "before the end of the...

    All good points, however my personal experience is much different. My Wife's family lives 241 miles from our home, we travel to see them about 10x per year. If I had any DCFC stop on the route, we could stop for a 1/2 hour, typical anyway, and be on our way. For me, long distance travel is the...

    While your first quote is often referenced to show GM's lack of commitment to supporting the build out of the required charging infrastructure, I am optimistic based on Mary Barra's presentation Nov 15th 2017 "INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT WILL ADDRESS CUSTOMER PAIN POINT We are committed to a...

    Feb sales (952)

    Personally I enjoyed the sequel much more, "revenge of the electric car", GM had easily defensible reasons for doing what they did, but it obviously did not really matter as they were vilified in "Who killed the electric car" and that cemented most of the public's perception. If you have not...

    http://ev-vin.blogspot.com/2017/02/current-discounts-on-selected-evs.html Looks very regional, at the end of last year GM included the Bolt in the "you pay what we pay" GM family price promotion. Typically known as "GMS" price.

    I'm shopping for an EV. What's next?

    I understand we are debating subjective here, but then where the heck is the new Prius or Prius Prime on your list? There is no favorable angle to photograph that thing at, take a look at the photo gallery on Toyota.com and try to find one aesthetically pleasing shot, but for gosh sakes please...

    infotainment screen frozen

    Assuming you have a bluetooth phone paired to the vehicle, push and HOLD the microphone button (profile of persons head with sound waves coming from mouth) on the steering wheel. The main display will bring up a big picture of a microphone with the caption "voice recognition” and it will...

    interesting, thanks for posting, just checked local NY dealers and they are not showing any stock yet, Cars.com shows closest 2018 stock to me is 250 miles away, at least we know that 2018 vehicles are in the pipeline on the way to dealers and already in stock at a few...
