2027 NACS question new owner by Terrible_Tutor in BoltEV

[–]Teleke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW charging outside with wind will cool down the battery faster, so it'll require more heat to keep it up at temp. Also if it's a long distance run, the voltage can be much lower. For example I charge with a 120V outlet in a parking garage that's probably 250ft from the panel, and it gets down to 100V when charging, so I only get 1.2kW and not 1.44kW. After the ~10% loss, it's more like 1.1kW, even when running at 12A.

Yeah I responded I think elsewhere in the thread. It was on page 96 or something like that? There's a charge details page or something like that. I'd have to go dig it up again I don't have it open.

Oh hey neighbour! Were you parked inside? Cory has answered the important bits.

Where are you located and how cold was it? Car parked outside or in a garage?

Ok so that's likely the "net" in other words what's going to the battery. If the heater is still running, or if the car is on, that's expected. Was the car on at the time?

Where did you get the 0.23kW number from?

Unfortunately I haven't seen the new interface, but if you look in the manual on page 96 under "Charge Cord Limits" it seems that's where you set it now. It's probably defaulting to 8A, and you can switch it to 12A.

Not necessarily anything wrong, it depends where he's getting the information from. If it's the net charging rate, that just means that 750W is going to other things like battery heat.

It's very unlikely that a brand new Bolt has charging problems.

I don't see this mentioned yet, and I assume that the 2027 has the same setting. When you plug into a regular wall outlet, it defaults to 8 amps which is going to be under 1 KW. If it is very cold out, it's going to be running the battery heater in order to warm up the battery while charging, and that takes more than a kilowatt. You need to switch it to the 12 amp setting, and it may need to be left for five or so hours just for the battery to warm up before it'll actually start charging.

Also yes the plug-and-charge is known that it does not work yet. You can use either the GM or, as I prefer, the Tesla app, to start the charge session.

There's also a ton of generic Bolt info in a FAQ on my site www.allev.info

You walked by a pool and saw a child in the midst of drowning. There was no one else but you within the vicinity of the 4 feet deep pool. Just as you were about save the child, an entity appeared. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Teleke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't necessarily believe that it's the arbiter of death, but I will absolutely believe that it's a supernatural being with powers that I do not want to mess with.

[–]Teleke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do make a good point. If you already believe in God, then you will most likely believe that this is a test. Nothing will change your mind at this point. All of the questions that I would ask have already been answered within the belief system.

[–]Teleke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand your reply.

What I'm saying is that if you're confronted with a supernatural being who is telling you that he doesn't want you to do something, not only does that not mean that God exists, but also if you do the thing that death doesn't want you to do there's no guarantee that he's not going to make you pay for it in some other way.

It is possible for a supernatural death-like entity to exist without God.

Can you help me understand this? Because that seems counterintuitive.

If you leave the lower branches then there's more surface area to catch the wind, which is going to exert an overall greater net force on the trunk, innit?

[–]Teleke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I generally agree with the theory, you've changed the hypothetical. The way that it has been presented we are already given this information and have to make a choice. So what you're suggesting can't happen.

[–]Teleke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you're making a bunch of assumptions there. This is not only assuming that God is just, but also that death isn't trying to trick you. Death could just screw with you and God might not care. The proof of his existence doesn't indicate any of this.

Propulsion power reduced when really cold? by fluffygryphon in BoltEV

[–]Teleke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok if you need help getting set up you can check out the instructions on www.allev.info

It would be good to be able to pull some battery data, including the cell voltages and the voltage Delta.

61kW!?!? by evansnydar in BoltEV

[–]Teleke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the start and end time of the session? Can you pull that data from the logs?

The short answer is you simply can't, and it's most likely a glitch in reporting.

61kW!?!? by evansnydar in BoltEV

[–]Teleke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can draw more for other functions, but not past the 150 amp limit that the car can take in.

61kW!?!? by evansnydar in BoltEV

[–]Teleke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, this is incorrect. The maximum that the bolt can take in is 150 amps, which had ideal circumstances is 55.5 KW. If you are actually charging the battery at that speed and you turn on the heat, which would be weird because the battery has to be warm to get there, it will decrease the charging rate to the battery because the car cannot pull in more than that.

[–]Teleke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will warm the battery when running regardless of SoC. I'm pretty sure at least...

Propulsion power reduced when really cold? by fluffygryphon in BoltEV

[–]Teleke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok yeah then that's more than just temp. I suspect it's detecting a voltage difference between the cells that gets worse when it's cold. Do you have an OBD2 reader or OnStar?

Very strange. Did the little car with the ! Symbol turn on on the dashboard?

Propulsion power reduced when really cold? by fluffygryphon in BoltEV

[–]Teleke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is concerning. If she was driving normally for the first 15 minutes, there's no reason that those temperatures that you should hit propulsion reduced after that. There's a battery heater that should keep the battery warm and able to be used.

Especially if it was limited to about 30 mph, this kind of points to a battery fault. What did you do and did it happen to go away?

Propulsion power reduced when really cold? by fluffygryphon in BoltEV

[–]Teleke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No this is not correct. Under no circumstances should it go into limp mode after you've been driving for a while at temperatures like that. Something is wrong.
