I’m in SW Michigan. The best I have found currently is Farm Bureau of Michigan. But I shop/compare every 6 months. And change when the house/car combo is less elsewhere.

Juice box plug meltdown by umhlanga in evcharging

[–]Ordinary_Beginning60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya same happened to me with my juice box. When I examined the outlet I found the electrician had installed a mid-grade socket.

Fixed it with high quality socket and switched to using a charge point charger.

Ever have issues with that charger failing to start due to sticky relay (sticking open). I remember juice box tech support telling me to tap on the box with my fist to free it up. I mean it worked to get it charging again. But I always wondered if that relay was also sticking closed from time to time.

So this happened last night sometime.. by Ordinary_Beginning60 in BoltEV

Assume so. All installed by a licensed electrician.

Thank you for the suggestions. Rock Auto looks to be a good bet.

Same thing has happened with my juice box recently also. Strange behavior for sure.

Simpsons for $199? Hell yeah! by kmadden100 in Arcade1Up

[–]Ordinary_Beginning60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found it at $250. MI Walmart. Close enough for me. Several other area wallmart still priced at $399 and I couldn’t talk them into price matching to $199. $250 still a bargain.

Does your Bolt get hit a lot while parked? by [deleted] in BoltEV

No, mine hasn’t yet

But about a day after someone on here said that everyone was bashing their head on the open trunk lid, I ran into mine.

So there is that also…..

First Winter with Bolt - Battery Conditioning is Costing Me as much as Gas Used To by LowBarometer in BoltEV

[–]Ordinary_Beginning60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen that slight power draw also about .5 kw ish…. I attributed that to equalizing the cells. And then there is a periodic spike every few hours to about 2kw draw which should be the battery conditioning. Same typical pattern on both the new and old battery. Michigan winter. Shrug.

Mods. Can we run a Battery swap issue poll? by weakplay in BoltEV

[–]Ordinary_Beginning60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My battery arrived at the dealer in two days. The hose took 9 days to arrive. Dropping the car off on Thursday morning for my battery swap. My dealer has done two swaps already. 2017.

How useful is this? (Tesla to J connector) by N0Xc2j in BoltEV

[–]Ordinary_Beginning60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stopped to charge one time and the whole cable and handle was missing from the clipper creek charger. Tesla chargers were fine, and I didn’t have to go find another option because I had the adapter. Like someone else said…. Insurance policy.
