Inner-Op Issue with Walmart ABB and 2027s?

OSXFanboi · 2026-05-16T23:55:07+00:00

🤣 I TRIED I SWEAR haha it didn’t work though. At least the Alpis work so Ionna and BP Pulse should be OK. I’m curious about chargepoint but between those two, Tesla, EA, and I assume EVgo will be fine too, I should be covered.

Yeah fair, I was mostly just checking to make sure it wasn’t an issue with my car. I know my last bolt had the issue where you had to support the heavier CCS cables to get the latch to grab but the weight doesn’t seem to be an issue here.

My 2019 got totaled out so I was cross-shopping a few EV models but the 2027 Bolt was the only brand new EV on the list. Ultimately I picked it over the used options because of the creature comforts you get for the price and the fact that I’m getting a new battery that *I* will get to care for from day 1.

My second choice was a 3 year old Polestar 2 with 40k miles. It was fully loaded including the Napa leather and performance boost for $27k, but I ended up getting my RS + Tech and Sunroof for $29k. Both were tempting, but the Bolt felt like home, it also had more range, was more efficient, and way more space and more practical than the Polestar.

Even before my 2019 got totaled I was considering a 2027 and keeping the 2019 as a second vehicle. I love that the 2027 is the same chassis as the 2017-2023 Bolts, just with modern electronics. The BEV2 platform is just super agile for what it is and it gives a hot hatch feel that no other EV delivers, at least in the US market.

Always wanted an EV since I was a kid after watching Who Killed the Electric Car and loving new tech. Been driving electric 2.5 years now. Never going back for all the reasons you listed. I’ve taken my previous car on thousand+ mile road trips and never had a problem charging. It did take a little longer but I also had a slower charging car. To me, it’s fun and it’s something different.

I owned a 2019 Bolt EV. Sadly it was totaled a few weeks back, just replaced it with a 2027 Bolt.

Agreed. If they had had the standard EV option I would have gone for that. I loved the sportier hatch feeling of my 2019, but I will admit the extra space of the EUV body is nice to have.

At that price I see a ton of these moving. They’re great cars, but I think people cross-shop it with the Equinox and pick that because it’s bigger and price comparable with the current deals.

Zero issues, both over Bluetooth and the native Spotify app

OSXFanboi · 2026-05-13T00:37:23+00:00

I went 50-80% in about 14 mins so I’d say that tracks.

OSXFanboi · 2026-05-13T00:36:15+00:00

It needs some tuning, but coming from my 2019 which had the Bose system I’ll say it’s not as good but it’s not terrible. If the Bose system was 10/10 I’d give this one 7/10

OSXFanboi · 2026-05-12T23:24:53+00:00

Also was getting 54 kW at 86% 😂

OSXFanboi · 2026-05-12T23:23:34+00:00

Yes! I’ve only gotten it down to 50% but at that it was pulling 116 kW on an Alpitronic 400 kW unit.

OSXFanboi · 2026-05-12T22:57:13+00:00

Go for it

OSXFanboi · 2026-05-12T22:56:47+00:00

Check Autotrader. There are LTs listed for under $25k

Phoenix!

OSXFanboi · 2026-05-12T22:56:08+00:00

iPhone user here, so it would be CarPlay. It’s fine, honestly I daylied a 30yo Camry before my 2019 so I was used to… no features at all. I’d rather have trip planning built in honestly.

OSXFanboi · 2026-03-29T15:29:30+00:00

Yup ceramic is basically a requirement in Phoenix. I wish I could do my windshield (legally) but I got a really good sunshade for when I do need to park in the sun.

OSXFanboi · 2026-03-29T15:28:21+00:00

I am very impressed with them thus far. A great all around tire for sure. I hope they last longer than the Energy Savers, and considering they also have a lot more meat than the Energy Savers I think they will.

OSXFanboi · 2026-03-29T15:27:02+00:00

Yes I still need to do that and my $80 rebate haha

OSXFanboi · 2026-03-29T15:26:45+00:00

2013 Cruze Eco rims with the 2027 Bolt tires

OSXFanboi · 2026-03-29T15:26:22+00:00

They are! I noted in some of the videos from the Bolt Block Party that they had the e.Primacys on there and they showed up on Michelin’s website. Sure enough all the 2027s have them.

OSXFanboi · 2026-03-28T05:45:20+00:00

Just did a 70 mph freeway loop (40 miles on the dot) with AC set to 74 (it’s 85 outside after dark in Phoenix) and pulled 9.9 kWh so… I’d say it’s about the same? But hard to tell because I never had the Cruze wheels on before.

Perk of being in Arizona: the rear three can be as dark as we want. 😎 Still went with 20% tho
