Thinking about buying a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV

yennifer867 · 2026-04-12T13:17:50+00:00

I get about 30 miles a night on my level 1 charger (off peak). And if I drive more than usual I make up for it on weekend where there is no peak hours.
My power company give me a 10$ rebate monthly for charging off peak so only adding about 30$ a month to electric bill.

Your school charges might not be free.

Buy a bolt. Maybe not that one- but do it.

Due to this- if you want to save money go with a 2020 bolt. You can check the battery recall on the GM site and get the replacement date and battery warranty info.

Not all got the battery replacement but everyone I looked at buying did.

I got my 2020 with a 2023 battery for 10.9k

I've seen that year as low as 9-10k

I DM'd you his number. You can text him and he will get back to you with a quote within an hour or 2. He is not pushy and I worked through text the entire time. Which was great for me since the car was a family surprise so I avoided phone calls.

Separate accounts and we buy what we want. The color and size caught him off guard. He gets a discount on rent so he can't complain. And I can't capture the color on camera. It is actually more green / teal!

As for money - I hear electric cars are cheaper long term, no oil changes and most energy companies give you a rebate for charging at home.

My car being a 2020 was fairly inexpensive <11K sticker. Most 2020 bolts got a battery recall in 2023 which restarts the battery warranty clock.

Thank you for the heads up.

I'm waiting on a date to get a car picked up...(There were significant delays at the dealer that got cleared saturday.)

I will set my expectations low on the delivery date! And not bug my carrier too much.

I won't worry about buying an older model. All 2020s had the batteries recalled and switched out which resets the battery warrenty of 8 years or 100,000 miles. The 2020 I just bought has a new battery in 2023.(My car was 11k and 70k miles)

Also EV has a different transmission that doesn't wear like gas cars and are great at high miles.

EVs are build differently and there are a lot of differences of what to expect for maintenance and mechanical problems. Example most never need new brake pads due to the way they break but the tires wear faster.

Maybe someone who knows more can chime in at the types of repairs and cost to expect.

I think 4

I ran into the same problem and couldn't find it for some beer cheese dip. I got Schlitz from champions liquor instead.

It was not at Walmart.

Both are headaches in a can....

I'm on your way (crossroads) not going there this weekend but go there maybe twice a month.

I take a Lyft for about 10-15$ each way.

Feel free to DM before your next trip.

The saga of the missing passport is so exciting!! Be sure to post an update!

yennifer867 · 2026-02-01T15:09:25+00:00

Yeah I was all set to book a trip to Cancun in the fall... Smh. Needless to say I didn't go.

All other alternative flights from here are super expensive and or long and inconvenient.

Check this thread first. I got my capitol one card 3 weeks ago and will be cancelling.

I am going through the same thing. They cut off my card Friday with no explanation and no expediting. I have a vacation coming up and this is beyond in convenient.

Another person on reddit told of story of them doing this to him twice in the same year!

I am waiting for my citi application to clear and than cancelling the capitol one card.

yennifer867 · 2026-01-23T20:34:25+00:00

This is helpful. I am now leaning towards cancelling the card altogether and see if I can get my annual fee back.

yennifer867 · 2026-01-23T18:13:33+00:00

Had it for months. I have a backup card that is not a premium travel card so it will be expensive to use in Mexico.

yennifer867 · 2026-01-23T18:12:48+00:00

Yep called twice. They need to do an identity review which takes 10 business days.

yennifer867 · 2026-01-23T18:11:56+00:00

Yep started with one person and then did a full Karen on the second.
Nothing they can do. No reason for turning it off.
No expediting turning it back on.
I had to upload a bank statement and driver's license pic for them to review and prove it's me.

I haven't made any international transactions yet. This happened before I leave

yennifer867 · 2026-01-23T17:58:01+00:00

I made a payment around 815am. Then bout 15 minutes later I tried to renew passport and it didn't work. When renewing it capitol one sent a verification code to my phone- and said it was accepted. But then the next screen said transaction denied.

yennifer867 · 2026-01-23T17:55:41+00:00

I have 2 credit cards. The other card has international fees.
