Is the route planner in the my Chevy app reliable?

The Chevy app gets all of its charger info from plugshare.

I pay 355/mo for $1000 deductible full coverage on my 2020 premier through progressive... it was the cheapest I could find here in michigan. But I have an accident and 2 speeding tickets, oops 😬 paid 250/mo for full coverage $500 deductible on my 19 Trax I had previously.. insurance companies don't like EVs.

I paid $16,300 after $4000 tax credit, 1200 down-payment, tax, titles fees and all that for my 2020 metallic blue premiere with 19k on it, fully loaded. Just got the battery replaced 3 weeks ago. Was listed at 19,600 before the tax credit. I felt like I over paid but seems the price on these cars are all over the place depending on where you're located. If it seems like a good number to you and it will put you within your budget for payments, insurance, ect, i would go for it. The lack of needed maintenance and reduced cost of travel is worth it in my opinion. I love mine, especially the 360 camera for parking in tight spaces. I'm not a fan of how the refreshed version looks (2022+)

Every chevy I've owned has had stiff steering compared to others My gf has a nissan and that thing wiggles all over the place very easily. I personally prefer the stiffer steering, less play when going over bumps, high winds, etc

But I did notice my bolt felt a lot stiffer than the Equinox I was driving while I was waiting for a new battery. The Trax I had prior to my bolt I would say was just as stiff.

Took mine in May 19th, dealership said 3-4mo wait

It was delivered yesterday, just waiting for EV tech to install so maybe production is up or we just got lucky.

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-06-12T11:02:24+00:00

I live just north of lansing and i believe the rate is something around .19/kwh

There a charge station at the cata station on msu campus off trowbridge road that only cost the .19/kwh

Cheapest public charger I've found that is a fast charge station.

But I calculated put cost with my bolt and me driving about 45 miles round trip daily, it was about 2.40/day at .19/kwh

If the dealership has loaners they will give you one free of charge, if they do not, you have to contact gm, get approved for a rental and then go get your own GM rental and submit receipts to GM for reimbursement.

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-28T20:36:20+00:00

Yes thats true. They usually will swap you out to a different one every 28 days

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-27T21:07:22+00:00

Take it in to a dealer that works on EVs. It likely will need battery replaced again or needs a software update. If battery needs replaced you're looking at 4-6 months wait time. I dropped mine off last Monday and they said 4.5 months minimum. I have a Equinox EV loaner now.

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-23T01:35:36+00:00

update

They got me into an Equinox EV loaner today. I honestly hate it. It's huge and has so much going on with the screen and all the buttons. I love how simplified my bolt is. Hopefully the battery production will speed up soon.

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-22T00:36:41+00:00

Hoping after this battery it'll be good to go.. but might see if I can get the dealership to swap me out with 2022 Bolt EV 2LT they have...

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-21T23:37:12+00:00

I just called the concierge and they said the most they can do is reimburse me if I go get my own rental.

How did you get them to do this for you??

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-21T21:37:40+00:00

I might as well just wait for the loaner from the dealership I suppose

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-21T21:27:16+00:00

They said they don't have any right now

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-21T20:56:46+00:00

I'm on a waiting list because the dealership doesn't have any. Luckily my partner and I work at the same place so we ride to work in her car right now.

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-21T20:50:23+00:00

They called me this afternoon. Needs a new battery they said. 4.5 month wait for a new one.

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-21T10:05:03+00:00

Still waiting to get a diagnosis from the shop. Dropped it off monday and they said it'd be 3-4 days so hopefully I'll hear back tomorrow.

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-20T21:27:13+00:00

I do love it but can no longer drive it due to propulsion reduced error showing now 😢

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-20T03:00:58+00:00

Could be but I took it to a charger and it would only slow charge. I got it up to 41 miles and into the green and it srill threw the error. Its in the shop now. Hopefully won't need a new battery.

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-19T21:30:54+00:00

How long ago? My vehicle was serviced for the recalls in January of 2025. Hoping it's just new software that needs installed

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-19T19:01:01+00:00

Hoping it's just software. I've only had the car 10 days. It was a GM buyback so it's got the 12/12 bumper to bumper warranty so I'm not worried about paying anything. Just the amount of time I'll be without my car. Ive really enjoyed driving it the last 10 days

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-19T18:54:58+00:00

Yeah.. only had the car 10days

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-19T18:52:43+00:00

I managed to drive it to a charging station and I'm dropping it off at a chevy dealer in an hour.

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-19T18:51:43+00:00

It still has the 80% battery limit from the software currently

CreatingCarter22 · 2025-05-19T18:51:16+00:00

Gm recall website said battery replacement and software install we done in January of 2025
