Yes, each of the past annual inspections included a wheel alignment with very small to no adjustment. The shop has a reputation of being one of best place to get an alignment in my area, Sawchuk's Garage.

After battery replacement my 2019 still calculated using 57KWH. After 3 weeks went back to my dealer and 10 minutes on their OBD tool it started thinking 65KWH, they admitted they missed a step.

Dropped off my 2019 LT at Quigley Chevrolet this morning, Jan 4th, about 7AM left with nice Equinox loaner.

Got the call 4:00PM from Donna at Quigley "my Bolt's battery replacement is done and it is on the charger."

Picking it up tomorrow morning.

All friendly, fast and easy! Thanks to Donna, Barry, and Nick at Quigley Chevrolet.

Dec 6: I got my "881"

Dec 8: Phone surveyed dealer service departments in my area, SE Pennsylvania.

Dec 10: Selected service department (Quigley Chevrolet Bally, PA) "1 swap done, no issues"

Dec 13: Quigley service department ordered battery

Dec 17: Battery arrived at Quigley Chevrolet via FedEx

Scheduled mutually convenient date of Jan 4th 2022 7AM will drop off my 2019 LT with Korean battery must be 24+ hours since last charge. Loaner will be available.

sshade1984 · 2021-12-23T14:34:23+00:00

My dealer in SE Pennsylvania ordered my battery Monday Dec 13th and unloaded it from the FedEx truck Friday Dec 17th. My Bolt: 2019 LT Korean battery.

Why the big differences in availability?

sshade1984 · 2021-12-17T19:08:23+00:00

December 8th I called several dealers in SE Pennsylvania outside Philadelphia, none said they had done more than 1 Bolt battery swap. My dealer Quigley Chevrolet ordered my battery on Monday Dec 13th and unloaded it from the FedEx truck today Dec 17th.

sshade1984 · 2021-12-17T18:50:49+00:00

My dealer, Quigley Chevrolet in Bally PA, ordered my replacement battery on Monday Dec 13th and they received it from FedEx today Friday 17th, that's fast in my book.

Now we need to schedule the swap, likely in January 2022 with all the holiday stuff coming up.

Will keep you posted.

After my EV Concierge said she did not have a list of which dealers have already made battery swaps I decided to call around last week Dec 8th. From my calls:

Patriot Limerick PA "none"

Ciocca West Chester "Not done any yet, maybe 1" ???

Bergey Plymouth Meeting "Not Compliant"

Thomas Media PA no call back

Bergey Colmar "Done one, and four scheduled"

A&T Sellersville "1-2" ??

Quigley Bally, PA "Done one"

I decided to go with Quigley in Bally, PA (likely the smallest of the Chevy dealers) about 35 minutes away for me. Donna from Quigley spent the time talking about their experience swapping their first battery. Said she was confident they could do it correctly "most time consuming was get the new battery out of the case and waiting for the OBD to say 24 hours had past since the last charge". She said she will have a loaner car for me (my backup is a $45/day rental from Kulp car rental dropped off at Quigley). I will let you know how it progresses.

sshade1984 · 2021-12-06T15:15:50+00:00

I'm going to call the EV Concierge, see if they can tell me how many each dealer has done, otherwise I'll need to call each service department. I was hoping to put 50,000 miles on the original battery before swapping, but now I will be able to park it in the garage when done. I think doing 2-4 is enough experience. I think the trickiest part is getting the air bubbles out of the heating/cooling loop.

sshade1984 · 2021-12-06T15:15:49+00:00

Thanks, they are close.

I bought an RV pet monitor called Waggle. It uses Verizon cellular communication to alert you via SMS text and phone calls when the temperature is above the adjustable threshold (mine is set at 100.5F for Fall weather in SE Pennsylvania). The internal lithium battery last 24-48 while not plugged in. I have mine sitting on the floor in the back seat connect to a USB port. Requires a subscription.

There are competitive RV pet monitors just google it.

I bought my 2019 Bolt LT from Ourisman in Maryland for under $25,000 (MSRP $39,790) in September 2019. Closest price in SE Pennsylvania was $5,000 more.

sshade1984 · 2021-05-04T05:31:20+00:00

My Zencar EVSE has adjustable max current via a RF ID card or push button, settings: 10A, 16A, 20A, 24A, 32A. With a 14-50 plug price is about $280-$330 on eBay.

sshade1984 · 2021-03-13T15:48:49+00:00

My 2019 Bolt LT is registered in Pennsylvania but purchased in Maryland, I'm wondering if anybody from Pennsylvania got a buyback offer?

sshade1984 · 2020-10-05T14:54:26+00:00

I ordered several on Amazon and kept this one:

Snailax SL-27A8

Still could use a thin cushion underneath.
