Nope "complete care" is free if you own or lease a Bolt ... The response, security and convenience of 24-hour Roadside Assistance for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. 24/7 toll-free phone assistance Emergency towing to your nearest Chevrolet dealer Flat-tire fix or change...

remember, GM roadside would get a stranded Bolt to the closest charging station for free. I would suggest storing the number in your phone or becoming familiar with how to contact them using the "my chevy" app just in case...

And it shows and lists it as a CHAdeMO connector, DOH! I can look at this two ways, yet another vehicle that fails to get in line with the SAE standard OR good for me, less chance that if I find a DC charger the SAE port is currently in use ;-)

That is a fantastic deal, welcome to the rapidly growing club. If you keep telling your story that way you may soon have a lot of your neighbors competing for that fantastic level 3 slot, be careful ;-) I cant wait to get a few level 3 chargers near us...

Many phones, battery packs, or cell phone cases offer a feature of wireless charging. Your car has the ability to wireless charge these devices. Part of the wireless charge initialization process detects a suitable receiver of the power. The detection process is very good but not perfect. If...

how far did you drive it to get to the dealer, how many bars remained, and what was the remaining distance to empty?

EV battery prices continue to drop, trend bodes well for our future EVs Full article linked below... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-05/latest-bull-case-for-electric-cars-the-cheapest-batteries-ever

That sounds very promising, I hope that everything is indeed resolved and this simply becomes an unfortunate incident in an otherwise enjoyable ownership experience...

I think what you describe is normal behavior. If I leave my seat in "auto" I can feel it heat when the outside ambient is cold and no visual indication is displayed. I only see the display indicate something when I take it out of automatic. From page 59 of the owners manual "In auto mode, the...

I do not feel that you are likely making any measurable improvement in the life of your Bolt battery by heating your garage in the winter and would agree that the likely amount of energy wasted in doing so is not trivial. Having said that, you are near the recommended "59F " that is mentioned...

I started getting "maintenance reminder" card(s) in the mail and a phone call, month 5, telling me I was "overdue" for my first scheduled maintenance visit. I have just 5,200 miles six months in and I plan to wait until about 7,500 for the tire rotation and ask them to update the firmware to...

The mood and stock has changed in upstate NY too, all the advertised lease deals evaporated Dec 1st. and local dealer stock is starting to shrink. The largest stocking dealer in our area now only shows 8. Over the summer and fall they typically had in the teens of units. I do sense that...

Sorry you got off to such a rough start with your new car! I understand your reluctance to jump your brand new car but that is actually very common for cars that sit on a dealer lot before delivery, EV or ICE. Assuming the 12V battery had a low State Of Charge when it was delivered, the...

Glad that you are making progress! In my experience you only get the "unplugged" notification if charge is interrupted. IE if you get the txt that it has "completed charging" and then you unplug it, no second text.

For the cost difference between 8 AWG wire and 6 AWG wire ($30 / 50 ft) I would suggest you "future proof" by installing the 50A 6 AWG circuit

Right, one way to think about is that you size the breaker to trip to protect the "weakest" part of the circuit, or that the wire and the socket must be equal or greater in capacity than the breaker

How about $118 / month with $2,000 down? http://www.victorchevrolet.com/Weekly-Specials

One Rochester dealer has 11 available, http://www.rjchevrolet.com/VehicleSearchResults?model=Bolt%20EV Another dealer shows 10 available and 2 in transit http://www.hoseltonchevrolet.com/VehicleSearchResults?model=Bolt%20EV Lots of Bolts available, if that is what you were looking for...

I too had never seen any battery conditioning... until this week . I was at a hotel and it dropped into the 20's overnight. The next morning I had "preconditioned" the car while plugged in and my energy usage initially showed 5% consumed for battery conditioning.

Related, there is a "transport mode" for long term storage, or when the Bolt is waiting to be acquired by it's new owner :P " Transportation Mode ... feature reduces the electrical load on the battery when the vehicle is parked, which extends the battery standby time."...
