I have not done the calculations. But looking at my bill, I used 1261kWh and supply charge of 0.08413 and transmission charge of 0.01690. There is also the distribution facility charge of 0.06340 and an IL Electricity distribution charge. All multiplied to 1261kWh. I used 70% charging my car at night to early morning. occasionally charging it at 9am-1pm on level 2 charging. Would it be cheaper for me to just do hourly pricing. I see hourly pricing rates at night to early am from 1.5 cents to 2.5 cents and morning ones from 3 -5 cents. I need some help to save on electric bill

Since I have standard J hook, went to nearby auto parts store and eyeballed it. This one fits, even though their computer said it won’t fit. Just thought I’d share. I tried the rubber insert and it was a total disaster.

Hi all. I’ve picked out the features I want on the 27 Bolt EV. So now I’m dating various dealerships to find a good price. The latest? Included in my quote is $499.00 for the oil change program. Well, it is listed as optional. Do these guys even know what they are selling? But I digress. Any tips? I can wait til the end of the month. I can also travel as long as there’s an airport. I’m in North Carolina if that helps. Thanks for the help. And do I go for the oil change program??😂😂😂😂😂

I found out my Bolt is a total loss. Not my fault someone turned right in front of me on a busy highway. I’m okay no serious injuries. I had only owned it for 5 months but I sure did like it. My daily commute is 100 miles so I was saving like $300 a month on gas. But the car itself was just so great for commuting. My one fear was how it would handle the winter, I never had a chance to test it. Now I have a chance to upgrade, would the AWD Chevy Blazer EV be a better option for me? I live in Northern Utah so I will inevitably drive in the snow.

Does anyone in this group have the Blazer EV? Is it basically a Bolt but a bit bigger with AWD? Are the Blazers having the longevity that we are seeing with the Bolts?

The other option I am looking at is a Polestar 2. But there is a lot of risk getting into one of those. It sure was fun to drive and came fully loaded for about $5k less than I’m seeing for used low mileage Blazers.

I changed the washer and a new drive axle nut, did the strut bolt method. Put everything back together, torqued to spec. But upon driving it, there's some weird clunk (not click) that shakes the car, and I'm not sure what that is. It seems to occur going forward but not so much backwards. It doesn't seem related to wheel speed, it seems to be a bit more spaced out than 1 revolution, but am not certain about that.

I can't really identify it, have it back up on stands, and spinning the wheel, I don't see anything. Nothing is loose. Everything looks seated. It *feels* like it is on the passenger side, but I can't be certain. I don't think I got it over 5mph before getting it back up.

Has anyone seen/experienced this? Any ideas on what this might be?

Unfortunately, someone stole my side mirror on my 2022 Bolt EUV. I looked online and the part # for the glass and back housing seems to be 42782869. However, before I go ahead and spend 175$ CAD on ordering the part, I wanted to check if there are any additional parts of the assembly that were also damaged during the theft. To me, it seems quite okay, but I’m no expert. The plastic seems fine, and the circular center assembly still moves fine when controlling it from inside the car.

Looking to upgrade the stock wheels and came across this car in black. Changed the color to match my blue Bolt and love it (also did one in orange sunburst metallic)! 😎 What do you all think?

2022 Bolt EUV in Ontario.

Love the car! Zero issues, zero maintenance, barely any battery degradation so far.

2027 bolt LT

Like the title says, I plug in Sunday afternoon and the car draws 1.5 amps for 3.5 hours, then stops all night, then starts a full charge according to schedule.

The light on the dash is Blue (connected and stopped pending schedule)

The ambient temp is 17ºC during the 1.5 amp draw.

What is it doing while its drawing 1.5 amps? Any guesses?

A pretty light question, I don’t know what I don’t know:
I’ll be doing my first trunk-or-treat trunk ever, in my Bolt EUV. I’ve heard things about how the regular car battery can still die even in a fully charged electric vehicle. Do I need to be concerned about dome lights draining my battery? Can I keep the car on and play music through the speakers?
Any other advice or warnings?
Thanks!

I really wish this screen had the time.

Share your favorite screen setup, maybe I need a change!

Looking for something that fits in that hole where the transmission tunnel isn't. Below the shifter. Lots of room there does anyone of something that fits well and will hold stuff.

Someone hit my 2023 EUV in a parking lot and drove off, I have no way to contact them and will just try to fix it myself, the rear quarter is dented in and gauged on the one side, it's a simple fix at home. My rear bumper cover is also very scratched, super scuffed, and will need repair. What is the best way to fix it that doesn't involve replacing it with a $1000 new part? It's that rough textured gray plastic, I don't know how to repair that kind of plastic and make it look good, what is the recommended action here? Should I just sand it all down and paint it body color? It's absolutely insane how much these parts are, if I wanted to a whole front end on my Yukon it wouldn't even be $1000, yet on the Bolt a bumper is $1000, ridiculous. Ideally I'm trying to do this without getting a body shop involved and insurance raising my rates, but like that's a lot of money

The MyChevy auto charge when plugging into charge point does a fucking $100 pre-auth. That is insane, and you don’t get that back for 24 hours… absolutely insane for a $10-$15 charging session.

I am in the process of negotiating a purchase of a new 2027 Bolt RS with the Technology Package. The dealer is giving me an out-the-door price of $33,000 which includes a trade-in of my 2014 Prius, dealer discount, California’s MyFirstEV incentive discount of $3500, taxes, all fees.

Is this a good deal?

For one, look into the N2.2 sticker on the battery facing the rear of the car. Two, find the identification # for the battery itself.

Hi all,

I have my used ‘23 with low miles and still some time left on the warranty. I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a specific dealership I should consider if and when I have any issues?

I’m in the mountains but anywhere in Denver or near downtown is fine, all the car dealers are generally terrible up here so I’m used to making the trip for my previous vehicles

I’ve been driving an OG 2017 Premier that I bought new for nine years. My first EV and hopefully I’ll never have to go back to gas. It’s literally the only car I’ve owned I’ve actually cared about.

My only complaint, as most people here will know/guess, is the fast charging is garbage. Theoretical top speed of 55kw. The few times I’ve used it, it starts around 52kw and then just nose dives from there.

I’m doing like 99% local driving and almost never use fast charging. However, I did a trip recently that was over 300 miles. It was doable, but the dogsh\*t slow fast charging really hit me in the face this time.

Interested to hear what any former 2017 to 2023 Bolt owners switched to, if they changed cars. I guess my only criteria for this discussion, in addition to modern fast charging, would be CarPlay and true one pedal driving. I’ve been reading not all EVs do one pedal driving like the Bolt (the ID4 and Leaf jump to mind). I’d have gone with the current 2027 Bolt in an instant if it had CarPlay, for what it’s worth. Thanks.

Any help is appreciated. I think they were broken for the last two years I just switched rims on my bolt and noticed so I replaced them, before i wasn’t getting a hitting sound. It sounds like it’s more on the driver side it looks like they could be hitting the control arm over bumps

2027 LT. I took some photos as I pulled the panels and central console apart to access the 12v on the "cigarette lighter" plug to power some accessories. As this was the first time I was dealing with this maker and car, not knowing the location of the clips and fasteners was a big challenge. So I am posting these here in case someone needs to know this in the future.

I am charging my 2023 Bolt from solar so there are times when I want to manually stop and start charging from the app (iOS). I do not have OnStar. I am able to stop charging but then the start charging button in the app never appears. I have been restarting by unplugging/plugging-in the charging cable which isn’t possible if I am not near the car.

Also I can’t adjust the charge target %/kWh in the app.

Is this normal behavior from the app. Or is it blocked by not having OnStar? I couldn’t find any information about this in the owner’s manual or online. TIA

Any recommendations for front tire pressure to sharpen handling and reduce shoulder wear? I found it helpful in my Mazda 3 but not so in my MINI SE, so am wondering where the Bolt might fall and hoping to get a jump-start on the answer.
