    Vehicle status - "KeyPass Setup Required"

    Range started updating again about a week ago. Yeah, the app needs work, it now nags me often that I am "almost out of charging range" and shows my location in the middle of the ocean

    distribution in less populated areas

    I do not think that is accurate as upstate NY has near zero DCFC and lots of Bolts

    6 Months Later, 107 miles each way to work, 120F Desert Heat

    Vehicle status - "KeyPass Setup Required"

    Yesterday I went to review the charge status & miles remaining on my Bolt using the "myChevrolet" app (3.8.1) on my phone. Instead of seeing the miles remaining and status the screen is empty and fails to refresh when requested. The top level screen for vehicle status now reads "KeyPass Setup...

    National Drive Electric Week

    We had ours yesterday in Rochester, NY. It was a great turnout, lots of cars showed up and a beautiful fall day, a few families and a very nice ride & drive, which was busy all day. At least 6 bolt owners and a dealer car for the ride and drive.

    Impressions from a new Bolt owner

    Congratulations and welcome! Thanks for sharing your detailed first week review. I have now had mine just over 3 months and continue to be very impressed with the engineering and design. I too think it could use a few tweaks but I am not one that is in the camp of feeling that the seats are an...

    New Bolt owner, with some questions.

    If I push and hold the call button with my android Bluetooth phone connected I can instruct Google to call. It is different than the Malibu but works with my Bluetooth connected phone voice prompts, sorry for any confusion with my earlier post...

    New Bolt owner, with some questions.

    Yes, I agree, I had a 2014 Malibu and have a 2016 Equinox. I made good use of the hands free functionality, I wish they had incorporated the great voice prompt interface as well...

    Anything on the 2018 model year?

    I think one source of the approx. $8K / car traces back to the UBS margin report published 3/18/2017 http://www.advantagelithium.com/_resources/pdf/UBS-Article.pdf "We estimate GM loses $7.4k (EBIT) with every Bolt sold today" The estimates are based on UBS performing a complete vehicle...

    Anything on the 2018 model year?

    Over @ GM Authority they speculate the lack of detail on order guide for the 2018 Bolt indicates that changes are coming. I am not so sure if that is wishful thinking or just that the guy who puts together the order guide was out on vacation and did not get it finished ;) See all the...

    Anything on the 2018 model year?

    And I will "third" that comment. Call it childish, call it a midlife crisis, call it whatever you like but when I push the accelerator pedal in the Bolt I still get a big smile and sense of enjoyment. That alone is worth it over the Leaf 1 or projected Leaf 2. I also live in upstate NY and we...

    Keypass with a Moto Z Play

    Glad that it worked for you too!

    Leaving your charger plugged in the wall uses energy, too.

    Kill-A-Watt meters are extremely useful but notoriously inaccurate for very low power devices that enter sleep or low power mode. These type of devices sip a little power from the line periodically to maintain readiness and the Kill-A-Watt assumes that it draws that power continuously. In...

    Problems, Bugs, Weird Stuff, Glitches, Concerns Here

    20 days and just 500 miles so mostly operator errors or adjustments to the new vehicle UI. The only "glitch" is one night after disconnecting from public charging, and driving away, the main display was black and the driver dash display said "loading" for several minutes before the center...

    Keypass with a Moto Z Play

    Tried several times unsuccessfully to set up Keypass with my Moto Z Play (Android) phone. I would get to the step in the app after "start setup" where it says "finding the vehicle" and it would always error out and say the vehicle was not found. Finally called onstar and a very helpful...
