Well, here are 4 pieces of 8 foot lumber inside my Bolt.

BoltPals: There seems to be an interesting software bug. A number of times I have had the situation at night where the 8 inch dashboard screen shows the appropriate night dark theme and dim illumination, but the 10 inch touch screen stays on the day configuration. I think this has happened when...

Mine is Orange, and I like it just fine. It is more of a copper color. Very nice actually. I got tired of silver or slate colored cars.

So I bought the generic semi-custom mats from WeatherTech. You can cut them to fit. Now, they are a bit smaller in width than the current carpet mats. So, I just put them on top! They are perfectly fine, and about $50. I slit and cut the driver mat a bit so that it comes up onto the left foot...

I just sat in my car and took some photos. My seats are comfortable. I weigh 162, 32 inch waist. LT with heated seats. Plenty of padding for me.

Sure. Me too. You should be able to do that as above. And, if you have a day where it is questionable, there are plenty of CCS DC quick chargers along the way if you had to make a 15 minute stop.

Having driven my Leaf many times to San Francisco, I can tell you there is a bunch of public L2 charging available. So, if you are there, find an L2 on PlugShare, and by all means, top off! Just to name a few, Performance Arts Garage, City Hall Garage, Sutter Stockton Garage, all have good L2...

So, follow up on the trip. Drove to the airport, and from Sebastopol to SFO, I used only about 1/4 of the battery capacity. Amazing. Parked the car at long term parking in a standard spot. Interestingly, on level 4 where I parked, the 4 EV spots next to the EVSE's were all occupied by plug in...

Me too. That is why I am pleased that it comes forward. It is now in a nice position for me.

BoltPals: Just discovered that the center console armrest slides forward! I love that. My Honda did that, and I prefer the elbow position. I do not see that listed in the manual anywhere. I have the LT trim line.

Very interesting photo. I have the cloth with the heated seats. I think the car is terrific. The seats don't bother me at all. Now, I do notice once I looked at it that the cushion goes below the seat frame aft, so when I spin my legs out to get out of the car I feel that hard frame. Doesn't...

OK, sounds good. Thanks for the info.

The problem has been intermittent. I have only had the car since Friday. Got home tonight, and decided to do the full charge now to see if it works. Charging now without a hitch. I think it is the initiation that is the problem. Once past that, all seems well. Could be grounding somehow?

BoltPals: I am driving to the airport soon. 70 miles. Plan to leave the car for a week. Perhaps 50 degrees or so. Should be plenty of range to return without charging, but what about the active battery management system? Will it draw down the charge? Not an issue with my past Leaf, since it...

That is what I may have to try.

My Leaf had the 6.6 kWh charging, so shouldn't be a problem. The circuit is a dedicated 40 amp line. Hmm. I hate to change out EVSE only to have the same problem.

BoltPals: I have an AeroVironment 30 amp EVSE that I had installed with a dedicated 40 amp line in 2013 for my Nissan Leaf. Works perfectly with the Leaf before I traded in the Leaf. Now with my Bolt on occasion it errors out, and does not charge. Last night I plugged in the Bolt and got the...

Yes, they offered a good buyout. But, I was interested in newer technology like the Bolt. So, I passed.

OK, I looked this over. Nothing on I5, but plenty of 50 kWh charging on 99. So one could go that way. Interesting.

The Bolt trunk is smaller. No doubt about it. But it is adequate for my needs. The Leaf trunk was actually pretty large.
