BoltPals: When considering the possibility of longer range travel with our new Bolts, I want to understand if my math is right. If I have a Bolt with say 1/2 the battery drained, and I use a Chargepoint DCQC with 24 kW max, if all goes well, I would add 24 kWh in one hour? So, at about 4 miles...

So, is it certain then that the heater in the Bolt is resistive? I have not seen details on that.

Understand. My complaints are minor. But there are lots of buried menus in the interface. Nonetheless, once set, little change is needed. And, the important ones like charging are front and center. So, not a barrier.

When I look on Plugshare most of them are Chademo, not CSS that the Bolt uses. I will look at plugshare again.

Right. I misspoke on the DCQC. 24kW is what is usually available. It would be nice if we eventually get the 80kW capacity that the Bolt can apparently do at 400 DC volts.

I turned it in after the 3 year lease. Drove my Honda for 6 months until Bolt was released.

If I had reliable 50 amp DCQC then I might try it for the fun of it. The problem is most of the DCQC on the routes I am interested in are 24 amp, so you won't get 90 miles in 30 minutes I think. I have to do the math on that. Does the 24 amp Chargepoint give you 90 miles in 30 minutes?

BoltPals: I have had my Bolt for 3 days, and I think the car is terrific. I thought I would jot down some impressions after reading numerous likes and dislikes in this forum. I have 3 years of EV experience with my 2013 Nissan Leaf. I really liked that car. It did what it was designed to do...

Terrific. I will apply!!

BoltPals: Just got my orange Bolt LT. Love it. Past Leaf driver. Loved it too. I live in California. Can I apply for the $2500 from the state for my 3 year lease? Or, did Chevy do that? Also, can I apply for the PG and E $500 rebate too?
