Replying to my own post just to add that I've seen in the Chevy Bolt forum and other places credible reports of some of the Bolts that GM purchased back now appearing on the market for as little as $10,000.. Some with brand new batteries. You'd have to do some research to find them (the Bolt...

I love the detailed analysis and nuances. But in all the words I seem to have somewhere nice seeing a real world number. I just semi arbitrarily figured in my MiEV at someway between 20 and 25 mph. I don’t own it anymore, and figure about the same in my Chevy Bolt. BTW For what it’s worth: on...

"… There is an old method: go both ways and get the average.…" Has it been mentioned by others that doesn’t work out you never gain as much by the tailwinds as you lose from the headwind. For various reasons including exponential increase. By the way, that fallacy that you can compensate for a...

Just an update and checking in with old contacts. Still happy with or 2021 Bolt. As with all EV owners, happiness increases as gasoline prices do. Minor bitch... The lane-keeping-assistance is not as solid as the one in the new Subaru I test drove. In that (and some other cars AFAIK) you can...

Elsewhere here, I mentioned ithat after eight years with the MiEV, Four months ago we purchased a new 2021 Bolt. Really can’t say enough good things about it, despite the nuisance presently being told not to charge above 90%, until Chevy installs a new main battery to mitigate the tiny fire...

We purchased a new 2021 Chevy Bolt 4 months ago. What with Chevy's $10,000 end-of-model-year discount and Oregon plus my local city incentive cash rebates, our net cost was only $19,500. The longer we drive it the more impressed I am. In every respect including fine details such as windshield...

I use the remote control for the charger a lot. I've hopelessly misplaced mine. Really bummed about that and annoyed with myself :oops: :roll: . Getting a new one from Mitsubishi would take 45 days+ and costly. If you'd even consider selling yours I'd offer you an attractive price and much...

Hi Harry... If you still have your remote control I'd love to have it and could give you a good price. Alex Best you reply to me by direct email at [email protected] .

Fri Dec 20, 2019 6:34 am The "low temperature" chime. Every time it goes off (for the first time in a while), I'm like "Ack! What's wrong with the car?" before I realize "Oh, it's cold outside. Thanks, I knew that."" Doesn't bother me. I find that feature slightly useful. It goes off IIRR at...

"Congrats on a good experience, BarryP and Docjr. That $6k quote on a replacement battery is the lowest price I've heard yet, and is certainly within the realm of practicality." ---------------- Hey.... somehow I missed that. Where did BarryP and Docjr get a $6K quote on a battery? Last info I...

Those of you in the USA probably got this notice. I got it two days ago in standard postal mail. Short version: They believe the original brake vacuum pump can fail from corrosion, leaving the driver with a sudden surprise of having no power brakes. (And that is a shocker.. surprising how hard...

Hey Barry.... What sizes are they? And are front and back different sizes?

I'm probably missing something here (in part from jumping in so late), but aren't our battery packs covered for defects(failures other than the "allowable" 30% loss of capacity in 10(?) years 100,000 miles) .... Isn't that "defects" coverage about 8 years and 100,000 miles???? FWIW: We've got...
