    infotainment screen frozen

    Jim, Has happened to me 3 or 4 times in the 6 months I have owned the Bolt. I plan to get the software update first tire rotation which does list "screen freeze" as one of the items it resolves. GM has over the air update ability on the Bolt but has not started using it yet, rumored to begin...

    A member NY -Rob posted these instructions in another Bolt forum, many folks in that thread have posted that they have sucessfuly used the file, the only issues I have read were: 1: not having the vehicle on and the radio timing out and shutting off during update, no harm done, update successful...

    Bolt winter performance, an ICE comparison

    Of course they do, see the section I bolded above For you it may well be unreasonable, for me compared to my expectations and the performance of my ICE vehicle, I feel it is not unreasonable. I am not Justifying anything to myself or others, just expressing my opinion. Feel free to disagree...

    horn that honks when you leave the key fob in the car

    What is the nearest intersection to where you typically park your unlocked $40,000 car with the key fob inside? 8-) Seriously, page 145 of the owners manual "Remote Left in Vehicle Alert" explains how to disable the alert

    Dan Neil on the Prius Prime

    More evidence on the "Bolt effect", Dan Neil reviews the Prius Prime and now sees the current Toyota implementation of the PHEV drivetrain as poor compared to the Volt or the Bolt.... "Toyota has a glorious history of car design in which the Prius Prime ($34,189, as tested) plays no part"...

    What's Your MaximumRange?

    Given the temps in most of the US I think I want to live wherever you live! Currently my ODT is 14 Deg F and my garage temp is only 28 deg F. Back in the summer it was very common to see my range (nominal) in the 260s

    Sub $250 month lease - when will it happen?

    I oversimplified, it is not just the state rebate, it is the value of a 2017 ZEV to GM in NY VS Ohio "...."travel provision" in the ZEV rules through 2018 that essentially allows carmakers to earn ZEV credits in every state for a zero-emission vehicle that's sold in any ZEV-Program state...

    Sub $250 month lease - when will it happen?

    I don't agree. GM offers nationally advertised prices, states offer incentives that change the calculus. GM derives more benefit from selling EVs in CARB states, that is just how it works. Currently at 3K units a month I also believe that they are production constrained and still selling the...

    3 weeks in, My review

    Nice review, interesting comparison to your Volt. I too would like a temp display on the App, Car ambient temp, Battery pack temp, battery conditioning status, & power used over the last 24 hours? I agree with most of your likes / dislikes except the "road bumps" dislike. I prefer the Bolt...

    I cant wait for the Spring thread titled "Full battery levels increasing daily, do you think GM is remotely increasing our capacity?"

    Any Technical problems with using Tesla Supercharters?

    If the M3 rolls out anywhere close to predictions, I believe that Tesla will have little to no excess supercharger capacity to market to competitors. If, on the other hand, the M3 stumbles and Tesla files for bankruptcy, I could see the supercharger network being monetized as an income stream...

    Costs of installing Level 2 charger in St. Paul, MN

    1) $1.8K is a lot of money to recoup in savings for off peak rates, I might do the math on that first if you have any other options. Do you currently have 240 available in the detached garage? what size circuit breaker is on that line? 2) you list several great EVSE options, all have a good...

    "Full" battery levels dropping daily

    IMHO you are just fine. Bitter cold = reduced range and your 30% - 40% seems consistant with other posters. FWIW I did a comparison of our Bolt to our ICE you can read about here http://www.mychevybolt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7463

    Amazing low cost to run an EV

    And depending where you live in upstate it can get even cheaper. We benefit from municipal power and long term contracts with hydroelectric suppliers, think Niagara Falls. We currently pay $4.53 /month connection fee and $0.04 per KWh with no distribution charges. Any power consumed in...
