    L2 Chargers For The Home

    Different local governments probably handle home EVSEs differently. Mine has a long list of criteria, not overly difficult to meet but bothersome, for a permit for an EVSE installation. However, when I talked to an inspector, I learned that using a portable EVSE meant you only had to get a...

    Full charge mileage displayed isn't 238

    GOM - I love it. The 189 was the figure in the middle of that. the top of the range was 222. I think the bottom was about 154. As other people point out, those numbers move around while you're driving. I was in the car for about 5 hours today. Stuck in traffic at a slow but steady pace...

    Some things I noticed about my Bolt EV [LT trim]

    I've heard the 80% charge discussed in the context that charging the battery above 80% proportionally takes more electricity. The two times I've fast charged, at Greenlots chargers, the displays on the charger and in the car tell you how long you need to charge until you reach 80%. Both...

    Full charge mileage displayed isn't 238

    I probably didn't read the right stuff in the manual, but I was a little surprised this morning to find the car display saying that the charging was completed but only 189 miles were available. The explanation I got from the dealer is that the car considers my driving habits and things like the...

    Camera rear view mirror

    I also have a split second delay in focusing on the camera rear view mirror. It's my eyes, not the car but it's disconcerting enough that I'm back on the mirror. I'll try it more later. The camera display is quite clear and bright.

    Cajun Red Tintcoat

    I already ordered with this color but was feeling a little nervous about it. Some of the pics make it look like an odd cherry color. Your pics are reassuring.

    Dealers can now configure cars

    Ordered a Bolt today from John L. Sullivan in Roseville CA. They have a 28 car allotment. I think I was around 11th, so when I left they still had 17 available. I ordered the Premier in red with fast charging, the floor mats and the cargo mat. Everything was MSRP. I intend to lease for...

    Bolt on display in Sacramento at CA State Capitol

    I'm disappointed in how Chevy handled the Sacramento visit. Early on, I signed up on the Chevrolet website to receive email updates about the Bolt. I've never received any. I live in Sacramento. If I'd known that the Bolt would be on display at the Capitol, I would have gone down to take a...

    Interested in the Bolt EV? What do you currently drive?

    I have a 2002 WRX wagon. 207,000 miles. Love it. I've never driven an EV or hybrid. I was all in on buying the new Ford Focus RS as the much hotter version of what I already had. Then I put in solar panels a few months ago and heard about a prospective EV from Chevrolet that had a 200+ mile...

    brake lights during regen?

    Thanks. I figured you'd want the car behind you to know you were slowing faster than being in neutral, but I'd not seen anything on this. I haven't had a vehicle with regen.

    Anybody know if using regen braking will cause the brake lights to come on? Thanks
