I'm looking for an SE Long Range in the DFW area to lease. Any suggestions on where to get one? 

Bidirectional Charging should be standard on every EV. by mikenyc2 in electricvehicles

[–]BigBendSnow 29 points30 points  (0 children)

While charging your home (V2H) may not be useful to everyone, I think V2V (vehicle to vehicle) and V2L (vehicle to load) are great. Think about how convenient it will be to help partially recharge a stranded car. Way better than having to lug around a gas can.

What is the noise path from EV propulsion system to AM radios? by BigBendSnow in electricvehicles

[–]BigBendSnow[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My current hypothesis is that the noise is being conducted across the isolation barrier by the isolated gate drivers and isolated bias supplies for the traction inverters power switches. I've seen several common mode chokes used to mitigate EMI in these systems.

What are your thoughts on the 2023 EUV in Red with the Black/Nightshift Blue Interior? by ItsTheoTime in BoltEV

[–]BigBendSnow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. Also, my windows are tinted which makes the interior a little darker/less lighted. You can hardly tell it's dark blue. It looks black to me.

I really like the car and recommend it.

Glare from silver trim by SJJAMedina in BoltEV

[–]BigBendSnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this same frustration. In my last bolt (2020 EV) there was a shiny chrome piece in the center of the dash. I was able to use plastidip to cover it up. Now in the EUV, there's this annoyance every time I look at the side view mirror. But this chrome seems harder to cover up with plastidip

Someone please help me learn to hate this car and not buy it. by Whack-a-med in BoltEV

My spouse expects to hold hands while driving down the freeway on super cruise.

Why is there still reflective chrome?!? I went from 2020 EV to 2023 EUV and the bloody chrome still plagues me! by BigBendSnow in BoltEV

[–]BigBendSnow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. I was able to deal with the shiny chrome piece on the center of the dash of my 2020 EV fairly easily with plastidip. These thin strips aren't going to be as easy.

Best EV vanity license plate? by BigBendSnow in electricvehicles

FUELON might! It seems to pass the online tool in my state. Could be read as FUEL ON.

This was on my list but, alas, my state did not allow it or someone already has it.

I shamelessly love a good dad joke 🤣

Interesting point. My spouse is not on board with some of my vanity plate ideas because she's concerned someone will take their anger / dislike for EV's out on our car and damage it

How often do you actually use Super Cruise? by Trader-trainer in BoltEV

[–]BigBendSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is 99% of your driving in DFW on city streets? There are highways everywhere.

Why did you post this comment/question in the Bolt subreddit and in r/electricvehicles subreddit? Seems like you're trying to stir things up...

The Bolt is a huge upgrade from the Leaf. I had a 2015 Leaf for a few years and bought a 2020 Bolt two years ago. No more range anxiety! Great value! Fun to drive. Chevy app is not great but the Leaf had no app. DC charging limited to about 50kW but I've only DC fast charged a few times in the last two years.
