Yes exactly http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?218442-2016-Volt-120v-EVSE-is-L1-L2-Conversion-Capable "The Bolt also comes with a mobile EVSE that can charge at 12A/120V. The Bolt mobile EVSE can be used to charge from 240V sources with the use of external pigtail adapters. "...

What is nice is we now have a choice of EVs. If the lower range Leaf works for you that is great. While I greatly admire the Leaf and they obviously work for a lot of folks, I could not adapt to the limited range and had never considered one. Competition is great, I believe that we will...

While true that heat pumps operate down to temperatures below freezing you appear to have left off the part about diminishing returns. While a heat pump will "work" it becomes far less efficient as the temperature falls. Just as your heat load increases, due to the drop in temperature, your...

Cost/ complexity/ reliability/ time to market VS potential benefit As I posted in another thread where this came up, someone pointed out that BMW, KIa, and Nissan all had a heatpump. I hypothesized that GM invested in a bigger battery over the heatpump. Even though I live in upstate NY, I...

We have both a Bolt and a two year old ICE vehicle and we, for some reason, live in upstate NY. I have tracked MPG of the various vehicles we have owned, all posted on fueleconomy.gov I thought I might do a quick comparison of the fuel economy hit in the winter between our current ICE to our...

You might desire to understand more about the TMS in the Bolt, as do I, and as do all of GMs competitors, I don't think they are going to tell us much more than what is displayed in the efficiency screen showing the % of energy consumption used for TMS. There have been a few threads where...

1) (jDapter) You are correct, It is 2) (UMC) is simply a level 2 charger for your home, or travel where they have no level 2 chargers but have electric outlets

Even a CARB tag along state like NY has almost no DC fast chargers, your quote is no surprise to me...

I don't disagree in principal, however all automotive design is cost/benefit/complexity/reliability/packaging/time to market design trades I would like a more robust "my Chevrolet" app, a homelink garage door opener, and power seats that set themselves depending on who is opening the door...

That is good data. Although you added a trickle charger we should note that the Bolt is programed to monitor the 12V battery and occasionally do the same thing using available power from the HV battery. So it should not be necessary. Another note, is that you can put the vehicle into...

It is a bit more complicated regarding using a heat pump, as desiv pointed out most heat pumps are ineffective at very cold temps, the efficiency of a heat pump falls off as the heat load increases with colder temps. In addition, you need to defog the windows. In the bolt you can run the AC...

This page is a great reference. http://carcharging.us/ev/bolt.php "would I be able to charge my Bolt at the Tesla Superchargers? " Nope just what Tesla calls "destination charging" which is level 2 or with the home Tesla charger mentioned above...

sold me too! I had seen the car and was not too impressed, but once I drove the Bolt I quickly started trying to figure out how to make it work and acquire it ;-) To quote Dan Neil from his review of the Bolt: "Did somebody say acceleration? The Bolt is as good as its name. From a...

Very nice recognition of the amazing 150Kw powertrain in the Bolt: "We now know the Bolt, available in dealerships in all 50 states, is an affordable, world-changing vehicle that delivers on the promise of electric mobility for the masses. It is quick and smartly designed, and its official...

I had a friend get a crazy high quote at first too. I think they just don't have much data yet and are starting very high unless you push back. We are under $600/ year for the Bolt with 2 vehicles on the policy, we are with GEICO. The Bolt is, however, actually mostly aluminum, hood, hatch...

3/36 bumper to bumper Warranty in the US and 5/60 powertrain Warranty 8 years or 100,000 miles of battery and electric components coverage and Courtesy Transportation Complete care covers the cost of the first two visits for 2/24. The first two visits are only tire rotation.

Sean, correct all the documentation actually says, as you point out, is "emergency fuel delivery" I had a verbal conversation with our dealer as to "what does that mean for a Bolt ?" and they responded that "as remote charge capability is not yet widespread they would get the vehicle to a...
