    Latest buzz surrounding the Chevy Bolt EV

    To what other car? The manufacturers that haven't left Android Auto behind will. Tesla, Toyota, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Rivian and new GM cars have skipped Android Auto. https://built-in.google/cars/

    Moving up from 2013 Leaf to 2017 Bolt

    My wife gets nervous in the Bolt when the remaining miles gets down anywhere near the max that my 2013 LEAF could have.

    Moving up from 2013 Leaf to 2017 Bolt

    We still have our 2013 LEAF. The 2023 Bolt EUV is better in every way, except trunk space.

    Automatic High Beams

    I can see on your copied page: Driving with IntelliBeam The system only activates the high beams when driving over 40 km/h (25 mph). [deactivates when] The vehicle's speed drops below 20 km/h (12 mph). That's why it did nothing in your driveway. I often disagree about when the automatic...

    Music on an SD card. Where are the instructions?

    There's are Windows apps to create playlists, but I had no success building them. I haven't tried asking for a song by name. I am able to navigate folders, nothing is at my top level. I have also used a 60 GB spinning disk iPod Classic in another car that had a specific "iPod" button on the...

    Music on an SD card. Where are the instructions?

    I have a 2GB Windows FAT32 SD card. I found that the music was better managers after i mad a top level folder called music, and used the directory structure that iTunes uses, with artist and then album name, then songs. This was easy to do, since it's the same as the iTunes layout on my PC. I...

    Using EVExtend on the Bolt EV for emergency 120V up to 1,500 watts

    That should be a 100k-ohm resistor.

    Using EVExtend on the Bolt EV for emergency 120V up to 1,500 watts

    My Payne gas HVAC has a Hot Surface Igniter (HSI) at120 volts AC. A general Google search says, "Gas furnaces need a small amount of electricity to ignite (about 600 watts)"

    Using EVExtend on the Bolt EV for emergency 120V up to 1,500 watts

    Is there any indicator on the inverter about how much current is being drawn? I have a 2000 watt inverter that has four LEDs. I ran the gas oven, which has an electric igniter. That drew enough current to light two indicators. I measured it at 400 watts. I wasn't trying to run a blower motor. I...

    Can Bolts charge at Tesla superchargers yet?

    Unplug the cord from the adapter while it is still connected to the car. That way you have something to pull against.

    EVSE L1 cord

    I built an adapter the day before someone pointed out this one, which is cheaper than the parts that I bought. I cut off the L-shaped neutral from the dryer cord that I used, to make it a 14-xx adapter. Premade adapters https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08THCHCXW ONETAK NEMA 14-50P to 5-15R 5-20R...

    Bolt Range Issue

    In my LEAF, I would drive behind a semi. Not to get into the draft slipstream, because that's too close for my comfort, but to stabilize my speed. With a motorcycle and truck and camper, I know when I am in the sweet spot. I did put up with in between Salt Lake City and Wendover because I was in...

    Anyone Tried Other Brand Chargers for Bolt EV

    All current EVs in the US except Tesla use the same connector. Charge cords for home are interchangeable, and you've already noted that public chargers are interchangeable. In eight years with a short range LEAF, and two years of road trips in my Bolt EUV, I have never used my charge cord on...

    Anyone Tried Other Brand Chargers for Bolt EV

    There are two kinds of Tesla->CCS or J1772 adapters. One for AC, just the upper part of your charge port. The other is for DC, the AC pins are empty while the two large pins below are used for DC. Tesla puts AC or DC onto the same pins. Bundle with both adapters...

    Bolt Range Issue

    Not only the road speed, but the wind speed. We have an 800 mile round trip that we have done several times in our 2023 Bolt EUV LT. We used ABRP the first few times. At first to find reasonable stops, and later to keep an eye on the actual battery SOC, and with the paid plan, we could use it...

    Cost of charging?

    "Slow" is a comparison between AC and DC, not between 120 and 240 volt. 240 volt is 1/10 of the charging rate of DC.

    Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe in our Bolt

    I've played with the Plugshare filtering. Enable CCS and Tesla connectors, block "Tesla-only", and I come up with too many. Checking individual locations shows Destination Chargers. I adjust the filter for "more than 25 kW" and get closer. I still find some that say "Tesla Only", or "Rivian...
