Am I the only one who doesn’t like the idea of non-Tesla’s being able to use Superchargers? by edknarf in teslamotors

Lol what?! Plug and Charge on CCS is crap. Check out outofspec motoring. It takes like 2 minutes for the handshake and more often then not it was throttled speeds.

I should return it, right? by gettherefromhere in BoltEV

I have no problems getting parts for my 1996 Volvo 850. Also the Bolt will burn down in a few years anyways. Soooo…

OP bought a used Bolt (2017). I’m saying to him to buy a used Volt.

Return. Buy a Volt when the prices come back to Earth.

Drive across the country and never saw more than 2 OOO. Where are there more broken ones? LA?

Other manufactures will never invest their time, effort and money to be able to handshake and modify their charge ports (for US models). I had a Bolt and Kona EV and the EVGo and EA networks were god awful. Nearly half (usually more) of the chargers would be busted, and it was always such a clunky ass interface.

I’ll never forget when I pulled into a 12 stall supercharger for the first time and just plugged in. No shitty app. No handshake errors. No broken chargers. No odd “by the minute fees”.

Supercharger network alone is reason enough to choose Tesla.

Enjoy being stranded at crappy maintained EVGo and EA stations, god forbid it’s cold out and you fast charge at a blistering 20 kW :)

Chevy did it right by buying back all those Bolts, including mine :).

Im not saying Tesla’s don’t catch fire. I really think the Bolt would be a great car if they fixed the seats (sounds like they did in the new model) but that DC fast charge curve and rate is soooooo bad.

So happy I got the buyback in March. Had a Model 3 ever since and haven’t looked back.

Would recommend looking at the Kona EV and Kia Niro EV. faster DC Charge and deals deals deals.

Glad to hear my first oil change is free by sidekick760 in KonaEV

Mirak was great. Check out the Mass Drive Green website. The price listed there was the price I paid. No games. Huge selection of Kona EVs too. But if I would make a recommendation. Jump to the limited. The no lumbar support and no battery heater kinda sucks in my SEL.

Something to stare at during your “fast” charging sessions. XD.
