2017 with a warranty replaced battery from 2022. When Enel stopped their North American operations, the Box continued to work for a while as a smart charger, charging off peak from 12 AM to 6AM. Since that stopped, I turned off scheduled charging so the charger would work as a dumb charger. I was previously getting to 250 miles range consistently, now I am only getting 180 tops. Why am I no longer getting to those higher levels?

Edit: box setting showing in app charging at 7.3 kWh and I do see a solid green light after charging, indicating I am at "full charge" and I turned on hilltop reserve as well.

I think I already know the answer to this, but the perspective of experienced people would be welcome.

I have two nearly identical Bolts to choose from. Same year, same features, both in great shape. But one has 50,000 miles on it, and the other only has 15,000 miles.

The one with fewer miles is $4,000 more expensive.

But here's the thing... I personally don't drive very much. It will take me decades to drive 50,000 miles.

So... Get the cheaper one, right?

Happened to notice this happy coincidence today. Please ignore the dust on the dash.

Which one should I go by?

KBB doesn’t seem to show retail prices anymore. What would be a fair market price for a CPO 2020 Bolt LT with 18,000 miles, with DCFC, and had the battery replacement done?

Battery replaced at least 2 years ago from recall. Only $2,000 for bumper to bumper.

2023 Bolt EUV Premier

Bought the car new, and over the last 2 years I've noticed that during the rainy season, the rear left suspension makes a creaking noise, especially at low speeds while turning left and going over a bump. It sounds like it could be a sway bar bushing, or something similar.

Anyone else experience something like this in their EUV?

Looking to possibly purchase out of state. What Auto Transport company do you all recommend to ship my Bolt?

Definitely pushed the limits here. We had to turn all climate off, and then propulsion power was reduced for the last leg of the trip.

No one answers from EV concierge

The dealer service person replied : GM does not cover loaners during the diagnostic process. The vehicle was brought in as a tow in so it's typically 2 - 4 business days (Monday - Friday) for diagnosis.

And they can't give a loaner until the diagnosis is complete. They asked me to wait till Tuesday as the service representative is on leave on Monday.

Do they not give loaners on the weekends ? I towed in my new Equinox EV car on Wednesday afternoon. Does one have to wait almost a week to get a rental or loaner car?

She said she can't get the rental covered until the diagnosis is complete.

I park my 2023 Bolt EUV on the street in front of my house. This morning I discovered that someone had gotten into the car and ransacked the glove compartment and center console. There was no sign of forced entry and the windows weren’t broken. Does anyone have an idea of how this could happen? I’m certain I locked the car when I left it, but the car also locks itself upon exit. I’d appreciate any experiences you’ve had with mystery break-ins. Thanks

I'm looking at buying a used Bolt EV/EUV from a local dealer and I'm trying to wrap my head around the "Lemon" marking on Edmunds. Would I be correct to assume this is placed on the Bolt because of the battery recall or is there more to it than I'm seeing?

Is the lemon marking anything to worry about for the Bolt if it's had the recall work done?

Apologies if this is asked and answered, but I have tried to search. Is there a way to lock the plug so someone doesn’t unplug you? I’d never want to go over the allowed charge time or be obnoxious about it any way but some people think it’s fun to do this at a public charger near me. Thanks-

If any of you have one for sale near the midwest, let me know. Buybacks are welcome.

It's my understanding the battery situation in the bolts is... Complicated.

I'm going to look at a 2022 used bolt EUV and want to know what to look at to make sure I'm getting a battery with full capacity capabilities. I'll need to regularly drive 160 miles at once about 10 times a year but 95% is my driving will be within an hour.

I bought a used bolt to use when I need to drive into the city. I usually find street parking but the other day I needed a garage so I went to an Edison Park Fast garage I use with my van. Nope! They told me they cannot accept the the Bolt. What's the deal? Is this thing going to explode while it's just sitting in a parking lot not even charging?

We have a new driver in the family and want him to drive the bolt to start introducing driving (with rejuvenating brakes off).

Does anyone know if i can press the emergency button while driving at slow speeds in case he panicking while driving in a parking lot?

Obviously in my other car i do this, but its a mechanical emergency brake. Curious if anyone has attempted this.

what are my chances of making it 160 miles in 10 degrees?

I just got a 2023 Bolt EV LT1 and it seems to support wireless Android Auto, but I can't get through the setup steps using my Pixel 7. Once I tap pair on both my phone and the car, I get kicked back to the home screen on the car and that's it. What am I missing?

Hi everyone I recently got my first EV a 2015 SparkEV in April of this year and I love the car despite some hiccups. This car seems not to like being discharged below 20% if so I get a “Propulsion power reduced message” and if I keep driving, the car will shut off with a service light and won’t move. This comes with trip to the dealer for them to clear high voltage DTC codes costing me 200-300 dollars for them to fix . This has happened to me twice, and I’ve needed a tow to the dealership.

I’ve found keeping my car always above 20 miles and never going lower solves the issues, however that leaves me with less that stellar range , lets say if I have 60 miles on full I actually only have 40 because I avoid dipping down to 20. My work commute is a 52 round trip and I have to stop at a level 2 charger for an hour just to make it home. The level 2 charger is free which takes most of the sting away but, I can’t run the heater in the Spark while charging so I have to bundle up inside which leads to some really cold commutes I never run the heater because it drains to much of my range and I use the window defog in short bursts because that also obviously drains my battery.

In really cold days I just use my gas car because I know I’ll be warm and it takes the anxiety of range away but I would like to upgrade to a bolt sooner than latter, my question is .. what is the best way to do it? I paid $5500 for my spark and I had to save a long time, I’m not sure what the Sparks trade in value is for a bolt or if there are any credits that would apply to me.. I see bolts online going from 9-15k which is a very good price.. if anyone here upgraded from a spark to a bolt please let know what you did .. I would love the extra range and heat!! All in all not paying for gas has been a life changer.. I just need more range..

Long post .. sorry lol

Got my NACS adapter today and tested it with my 2020 Bolt at a local supercharger. Later I noticed my MIL had lit up. (It's possible it lit immediately after I just didn't notice.) My OBD-II shows error codes of P0AC4 and P1AF0. The P0AC4 error seems to be a generic 'something is wrong' error, and the P1AF0 relates to the Electric Drive Unit.

Car drives just fine, and I tested the AC and heater with no issue. I plan to L2 charge it in my garage tonight.

A Google search led me to this post, where the person did the exact same thing as me: short charge at a Tesla charger using the adapter followed by MIL light. Theirs went away after a couple days; hopefully mine does as well.

I read that some 2019-2020 models would need a software update to use the NACS adapter, but I assumed this was the one related to the battery recall (which I had done last year). Mine is not due for an update according to the GM website. Is this update different from the one I'm thinking of? Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Edit: The light turned itself off after about a day, similar to what others have experienced.

My usual rule of thumb is that 1% = 2 miles, and then I am pleasantly surprised when I get something closer to the rated 247 miles in the summer.

A Better Route Planner agrees with me when I plug in this temperature and start trip planning.

However I haven't actually driven this model year of this car (2023 Bolt EUV) in 20 degrees fahrenheit. I bought it back in May.

So I'd love to hear from people with direct personal experience. Do you think this is realistic or should I plan for something more like a 40% range reduction (only 150 miles of range available)?

Yes, I'm serious about holding it to 65mph and below.

Thank you!

Edit: haha nope! Sounds like with the heat set to a reasonable temperature and a senior citizen in the car, 170 miles is the most I could responsibly imagine going with a 100% charge at 20 degrees fahrenheit, and that only with my usual goal of arriving home at 20% in mind so there is a healthy margin. Thank you for all your advice.

I've figured out a plan where the longest leg is 100 miles and I never have to charge at a charger that doesn't have an equally trustworthy backup.
