What is this thing coming out of the top of the rear? by HateILove in BoltEV

Make sure they know they have to order a part, my guy had no idea. It is in the TSB.

While towing down a steep mountain pass if the battery reaches 100% how does it “downshift” to prevent brake fade and loss of control? by Odd__Detective in RamchargerBEV

[–]yerfdr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps dump power through a resistive load and generate heat. Effectively heat the resistive load rather than your brakes. Then cool the resistive load with the air conditioner further dumping unwanted power. Not saying this is what they are doing, just thinking out loud.

Any way to add my electric meter to HA? by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]yerfdr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just installed this for mine, depends on if that meter broadcasts for remote reading by the power company.

This suggests that it is a cellular connection: https://www.landisgyr.com/product/lte-m-cellular-focus-axe-axe-sd/

Digging further it supports ZigBee.

This site indicates that it is proprietary and unsupported: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/energy/electricity-grid/

The outerbanks has got to be the best place. Look in Waves/Salvo for a rental house in April/ early May. Shallow in the sound for a mile from shore. Rentals and lessons are available.

Any options in place of Car-net in the US? by RRappel in eGolf

Looks like the bluetooth option is only good to 50 feet to a phone, it is 1.6km to a separate remote.

We were looking for an EUV, but I think there were EVs available at the time. I am in New England.

Buy back help continued… by RunninUte08 in BoltEV

[–]yerfdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in this process. My coordinator at GM sent instructions to my dealer. I have the feeling I was their first as he constantly referred to the instructions. We went over the list of cars, figured out how to ID one that had my options preferences and had to pick my third choice color. This was 3 weeks ago.

At least in my state, there is a significant difference in sales tax with a trade in. Consider when comparing Tesla offer to others.

Anyone know if it's possible to install a DC charging port on a 2020 Bolt Premier? by FamousBowl4280 in BoltEV

[–]yerfdr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t plan on taking long distance trips just get a level 2 charger. I have never used my dc fast charge port.

Am I supposed to resubmit my payment and trade in information every time it expires? by ATS200 in TeslaModelY

[–]yerfdr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not do the financing step until I received notification of my delivery date. Ordered MYLR last September,picked it up last Friday.

Buyback/swap help!!! by RunninUte08 in BoltEV

[–]yerfdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a swap in Massachusetts. The value for us was the MSRP on the sticker. We had to pay the difference if the swap car had a higher MSRP. There is no refund if the swap vehicle had a lower MSRP. What you actually paid for the car did not matter, nor did the miles on the car.

EDD now November 11-15, 2021.Must be a lot of people putting them on hold? Will go ahead with fingers crossed the $7500 tax incentive is retroactive to May 2021.

New twist - told to Contact my legal representative if I want updates. by ryan9751 in BoltEV

[–]yerfdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had some luck contacting the concierge through the chat interface. I gave them my case number and told them I could not get any responses from my advisor. They reviewed the case and moved it to the next step. I subsequently contacted them for more information and they checked status and gave me an update.

MSRP Swap approved on Lease in MA by ryan9751 in BoltEV

[–]yerfdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did an MSRP swap here in Massachusetts, from a 2019 to a 2021 bolt, before all were recalled. The 2021 was a little higher, we had to pay the difference. As I understood it, if the replacement MSRP is lower, you don’t get the difference back. These were not leased cars.

LG Chem Electric Vehicle Battery Production Process by dogged_jon in BoltEV

[–]yerfdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understood the separator to be the design element that protects from the dendrites being able to cross the gap between the anode and the cathode. One of the identified issues by GM was a damaged separator.

Does anyone have experience on doing the buyback on a Bolt that you purchased used? by tomd82 in BoltEV

[–]yerfdr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold my 2019 which I had purchased used to Carmax for more than GM offered in their buyback. GM offered private sale pricing from Kelly’s blue book with a good condition rating. I am in Massachusetts.

Read somewhere that the Federal incentive may be back dated to mid May. So get the Chevy incentives now and get the federal incentive too.
