I have 2017 Bolt, and have two questions: 1. The choices of the home charging current has only 8A, or 12A. Can I charge higher than 12A? 2. I would like to drive on L all the time. Why the car couldn't memorized the last setting, so the driver needs only toggle the shift once? Xiaoyu,

My 2017 Bolt came with Tow Eye only under the load floor. Is this normal?

The tires on the Bolt are Michelin Energy Saver A/S, which are selfseal tires. I called Michelin asking about selfseal tires for my wife's Prius. The answer is these type of tires made only for the size of Volt and Bolt, not for other sized tires.

I use a tire plug kit and a 12V air compressor (Walmart). I've had to use it a few times over the years and never had a problem. I haven't used the tire plug kit for long time, but it could be a good idea. What is the best tire plug kit? Did you buy from Walmart, or somewhere else?

I have 2017 Bolt, and the tire emergency repair kit was not included. I can purchase from GM, which costs $150. I can also purchase from Wal-Mart for $30 to $50. 1. GM kit: The compressor connects to sealant canister, then goes to the tire. I am assuming that this will be only one step job...

I tested. In Hill Top Reserve setting, the charge will be up to 90% every time, which showed two bars down from 20 bars total. I am very happy for the results

Hi, I read manual again, and found out to set " Hill Top Reserve" to either "Home Only" or "ON", which should resolve my problem. I am trying now. Xiaoyu,

I have 2017 Bolt. My questions are about the Regen sign (looked like a battery with a arrow) on the Power Indicator Gauge. 1. The Regen sign becomes yellow, after the car was fully charged. The one paddle drive no long working until some distance was driven. When the Regen sign color changed...

How did EPA figure out the Bolt's E-gas conversion number? Did they include the charging efficiency? We are talking about up to 15% loss.

I would assume the new Bolt has 60 kwh battery. The owner may figure out the charging efficiency under certain temperature by putting the energy meter inline. Is there anyone did this test by using the factory included charging cable?

Spark E, You are correct. We need to know the charging efficiency from the ac outlet to the battery. There are two parts in between them. The first will be the charging cable, which I think the lost will be minimum. The second will be the AC/DC converter, which should be provided by Chevy Bolt...

I just thought that I can charge the car fully first, then drive it 100 miles in normal flat road condition. Put the meter on and charge it fully again. I would calculate based on the kwh that I put in.

I bought an energy meter online, which can be used to 110v ac only. I put it in between 110v outlet and my charging plug. It will display the charging time, total output energy (kwh),...... The most important number is kwh, which could tell you about your battery's capacity, if you start charge...

I spoke to a chevy service guy, but no good answer. Yesterday, I suddenly came out an idea, which might give me the answer. We all knew that the indicated the average driving range was based on previous driving condition. But do you know for how long 25 miles, 50 miles....? I drove to Rocky...

The software was updated on May 16th, 2018. I have driven 1300 miles since then. I am talking about the mileage reading (not min. or max.) right after charging finished. The reading range could be in between 230 to 260 in the past after software upgrading. The 299 today was an extreme number!

I was a previous owner of 2012 Leaf, then 2014 Leaf. In December last year, I sold my leaf, and bought 2017 bolt. I had software updated two months ago. I charge the car by 110 volt regularly, since I am retired. The indicator of the mileage was not stable after charging. It showed 299 miles...
