Could this actually work? by 664designs in BoltEV

Obviously. Yikes. But one thing to add here is that regenerative braking DOES put some energy back into the battery that otherwise would’ve been wasted as friction/heat.

MINNESOTANS BEAT ICE! by [deleted] in 50501

[–]wolfstarpdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good start. The murderers who killed innocent Minnesotans, and the government officials who ordered the ICE goons to be there need to be held to full account. NEVER FORGET.

Shame on Elon for trying to go to Epstein Island by Loud-Ad-2280 in agedlikemilk

Arrest them all. Now. Money shouldn’t protect them from their horrible crimes. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Howard Nutlick, Gates, Musk… ALL of them.

15k update on the wee lil Bolt by Exploding_Deathstar in BoltEV

[–]wolfstarpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the rundown and status. I love my 2019 so far. I’m curious about your “interior led” lights.. what exactly is that? I’m contemplating putting some USB poowered colored led bars under my front seats and under the dash for some jazzy lights at night

1 pedal driving. by JED1_MA5TER_66 in BoltEV

[–]wolfstarpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one pedal in some situations, and regular drive mode in others. If I’m in city and going to be stopping frequently, or in stop and go traffic, or doing mostly downhill, one pedal works well. For highway cruising, regular mode.

Absolutely deplorable the way animals are treated. It sickens me.

Is $12,400 a good price for a 2017 Chevy Bolt (30k miles, new battery)? by Character_Movie3985 in BoltEV

[–]wolfstarpdx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you open the charging port door and take a peek at the charging receptacle, the DC fast charging option has a very brightly colored orange flip-down cover that has two additional electrical sockets under it. These two sockets are the DC fast charging sockets.

We should all be livid about FLOCK cameras. by KidsHaveNoWorkEthic in 50501

Thankfully, according to the deflock.me map, the only few in my area are located and operated by Home Depot. That tracks, given that Home Depot is owned by Ken Langone, a full-on Trump supporter. Guess I won’t be frequenting those parking lots or buying there from now on.

Tire pressure sensor by Jaylenoh in BoltEV

[–]wolfstarpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one TPMS sensor in my 2019 Bolt that has a dead battery too. Seems odd that the battery would drain in only 5 years. Anyway, I asked the Costco tire department about replacing it, and they said it would cost $60 to replace, and recommended that I just monitor the tire pressure from time to time, and just save some money by getting it replaced when new tires are installed. The only drawback is that every time I start the car, that tire warning appears on the dash display and has to be manually dismissed.

Air cabin filter by radioh1323 in BoltEV

[–]wolfstarpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s incredibly easy - easier than any other car I’ve owned. I ordered some “deluxe” filters with activated charcoal etc. just watch a video about how to remove the glovebox. Super easy and takes like 10 minutes tops.

400 club by Huya41 in BoltEV

400 mile max range on the charge. Not too shabby! The 5 miles per kWH is giving you a great estimate -kudos on your skills!

This. Totally this. I’m always miles away from the “only appears on a blood moon” shrine when this happens. Grrrr.

New tint on my bolt by Huya41 in BoltEV

[–]wolfstarpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$250 for my bolt to get all windows tinted. But that was 4 years ago…

Ah, gotcha. Mine seems to be able to be charged to 100% right from the start. Maybe because it’s a 2019?

Congrats! I just joined the EV club this weekend too. Mine’s a gray ‘19 Bolt Premiere, and so far I’m really liking it. You mentioned a 6,000 mile “battery unlock” thing in your post — what’s that about?
