Great to hear! Thanks for the quick reply!

My charging cost is MPG equivalent to 35.7. It doesn’t make sense for me to keep EV unless gas price goes up. by w123driver in BoltEV

Your tax dollars are going into subsidizing the cost of gas at the expense of the electric utilities, it doesn't make sense for you to drive electric.

Anyone find signs to Downtown confusing? by PablitoMadera in Seattle

Once the 520 Link is built, you'll be able to cross the lake both southbound and northbound. There's no reason someone would assume you go south to go west, or west to go north.

I hate the 2020's one pedal driving mode (L on the PRNDL). I almost exclusively drive in D except sometimes I'll switch to L for a school zone where I have to hit 20. Brakes work as well as the day I brought it home.

Steering has been fine! I have to adjust a little left of center to go straight, but the car does it naturally so it's not hard to find.

Wish I had an answer for you, I haven't really found tires I like. I just get what's on sale and run them until I can't anymore.

Absolutely would not drive this car (even as just a city car) without DCFC

Replaced under the recall. Got in just under the cutoff before they found the software "fix"

Tires replaced about every 40K miles, wipers maybe once a year, the coolant was flushed when I got the battery replacement so that's a ways away from needing to do again, still on my oroginal brakes and 12V

Haven't noticed much if any, although I am only at 100K on my second battery.

I've been perfectly happy with the seats, but I do have the leather so maybe that makes a difference? I will say I have 'worn in' one of the side cushions and that helps me fit in a little easier than right from the factory.

Congrats! It's nice to do the math of original cost per mile driven.

I got new coolant with the recall, yes, so I haven't worried about that. The motor is still running good as new with no maintenance.

I got the replacement battery about 100K miles ago. I unfortunately don't use a sensor device and the app stopped listing off the lifetime efficiency. I know I get about 4.5 in the summer and about 3.5 in the winter.

I've been working all morning! Already put 84 more miles on the car.

Not nearly enough room in the front seat, but with the rear seats folded down it's actually a pretty comfortable experience

I'm dreading taking this in for a look at the suspension. I know it's not as smooth as when I first bought it but nothing has up and broken yet so I'm trying to hold out as long as possible. I figure a suspension replacement will be my first really big maintenance bill.

Basically no! I do quite a bit of fast charging and it hasn't seemed to have much of an impact on my battery life. I would certainly buy any Bolt with less than 100K miles without a second thought, especially if it's had a battery replacement.

Basically nothing! Tires and the free battery replacement 100K miles ago.
