i drove a bolt in 2018 for uber they did specials, an had free charging,............ my bro bought one after he drove it....... years later i was looking for an older mini van, all had over 100k miles,, then gas got high so a few weeks ago i bought a chevy bolt........... i personally love it,, new battery so i got a good one with only 23k miles on it, the charger it came with couldnt handle the 12 amp charge so i bought a $260 shumacher 16A.. still on a regular plug... i have solar panels, an i only charge after midnight... soon getting a better charger on a 14-50 plug.. but if i drive fast i charge alot, so i stay around 52 to 63,,, never going over the speed limit so i can conserve the battery,,, i feel free now, havent bought gas at all,, my gas car just sits there now,, around town i regenerate alot, it recharges itself......... easy to park too, its small but it works...

Thats great! Congrats! You have panels on the roof? Ive been suggesting that since I bought mine, to gather some free power. I noticed a new car called a Fisker has panels in its glass roof. Im also getting free charging near where I live now. (another video is coming out soon) My original charger has no problem wiith the new batteries. And, Im getting atleast 10% more range than before. I havent needed a gas station in 5.5 years. Well, I go about 2 times a year for my diesel truck, But, I pass gas stations every day!! Again, congrats!

I find it very important to know not just that the 2017 2018 and 2019 original fire hazard- battery's were replaced, but at what mileage on the car's odometer, was the batter replaced, that should be clearly made known to subsequent owners, not just the first owner,

All the info on the replacement batteries and everything about the car are saved in the cars history. A GM dealer can tell the buyers exactly what was done and when. Only GM dealers can work on these Bolts, so its saved on the computer.

Waiting to get through the winter here in Illinois. Have watched many You Tube videos on the Bolt and know pretty well now most of the Pros and Cons of the vehicle. Price has come down quite a bit for 2023. Reason to get an EV is same as you, to save going to the gas pumps. Being retired, the EV will be mainly be home charged and will mainly do around town or short trips which just needs a single charge. Thanks again for this video. Take care.

I wasn’t surprised by how much you can fit into that, my elderly Dad and I were looking at them at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show and I think we could fit his motorized scooter in one. We would have to fold the back seat down, remove the scooter’s seat and fold down it’s handle, but I think it would fit! Other than the minor disassembly, the only other issue we’d run across with the Bolt is that it has a higher lift over than the ‘06 Town and Country he had then as well as the ‘20 Grand Caravan he replaced that with.

Great videos (Part 1 & 2). We have a 2019 Bolt Premier in Shock Neon yellow! We love it and after a year of ownership have put 15000kms. Have had no issues and our Bolt was not effected by fire issue as it was manufactured in USA versus Korea. Just had new Recall software update and have noticed nothing different with car. I find the storage to be good but if you have any longer or wider pieces it can be a challenge. We do fit 2 folding e bikes inside (1 in recessed bed, 1 on folded down back seats). Next accessory purchase for road trips will be a Class 3 hitch and a 2 e bike rack. Keep up the great posts and hope to see you around the Lower Mainland! Subbed.

Thanks for your post. I own a 2020 LT. I presume that you have a Premium model. The premium comes equipped with the "hideaway false shelf" in the rear compartment as standard. FYI, in regards to the spare tire that you placed beneath the "shelf", I am able to fit a "Donut" temporary use tire in the well below the floor. The donut tire is from a Chevy Sonic, and matches the bolt pattern of a Bolt. If you deflate the tire it will fit in the well, provided the sub woofer from the Boze unit is not there . Hence my choice of an LT. A scissor jack from a Chevy S-10 and a 12 volt air pump fit in the well, also. I installed the false floor shelf myself. This creates a flat floor all the way to the front seats. Therefore, I can change my own tire and won't need to encroach on storage capacity. May be a good idea if the donut is placed in the rear. The computer may not react well to a smaller tire in the front.

Thanks for your comment. Ya, I guess its a Premium model, all I know is it has all options. I talked with a guy that had a base model once, he had the rear shelf / cover too, I guess he ordered it.

I just purchased a 2022 Bolt EUV and am loving it. One thing I will suggest is if you get an EV, get an L2 charger at home. The charge rate when using a regular plugin is horribly slow of only charging 2 or 3 miles per hour. Ugh! An L2 charger can charge the entire battery from near dead to full in just 5 or 6 hours. It’s a must imo. I agree that a Bolt is a fantastic commuter car. If you want to go on road trips, I suggest you either get a more expensive EV with more range or just stick with an ICE car.

We picked up a 2019 Bolt LT (with most of the Premier options minus the Leather and overhead camera) and Im super happy with it, we have plenty of free charging options in town, and there is a free DC option too, but that station only has 1 DC outlet so gotta catch it super early in the morning. the Chargepoint chargers are free for the first 2 hours then like $0.15 kwh after. The Electrify America charger had 4 DC outlets, but they cost a bit. With the exception of when we have to go out of town, we just use the Level 1 charger at home overnight and thats been enough. We also got a new battery thanks to the recall, so we pretty much got a brand new car. My only gripe is the 55kw max charging. which is super slow compared to other fast chargin options (Tesla is 350kw max I believe) So using a DC from 10%-80% takes about an hour and a half.

I’m gonna pay off my car in a month so I’m happy. Insurance is high for a Chevy bolt as well for a Prius as I found out. But the Chevy bolt appeals to me still. The no maintenance situation is the selling point for me to buy this car. I’m not a mechanic nor do I want to pretend to be one like many out there. I just want a dependable vehicle that won’t leave me stranded on my way to work or to Walmart. The problems a gas vehicle can give you. Ugh. I must say I’m very sick and tired of it. But I will see what happens later this year. So far the bolts are cheap now. I prefer this 2021 model than the 2022. The 2022 looks very ugly. What did they do to it?? 😞.

That is a great perspective. Yes, because I have done the math, in general, anyone that views this video can estimate their costs based on my $ per KM or Mile. They can make a decision if they would save much. If you work right beside your house, what's the point. For me, for over 3 years I had a fairly large commute, and mostly that is why we bought it. Now, we own it, so as we now hardly drive, we will still save...but way less. And as a side note, for families with 2 or more people that drive (like us), we have a 2nd vehicle too, but because everyone that drives in our house takes this Bolt, we now have also dropped fuel usage on our other vehicle. We estimate that our 2nd vehicle will only need 2 fill ups per year. As a 3rd option, there are companies that make all the batteries and stuff needed to make any car into an EV car. For a very little cost, you can take a $1000 - 20 year old small car or truck, and make it EV. Again, this video is mostly to show people the actual math, calculated and recorded over a 3 year period. (not stats a dealership makes up)

Well, not sure what part of the world you are in, we did get $10,00 back in rebates, and it was $43k CDN , so thats like $32k USD. It is fully loaded. I don't see it as too much $$. But, I was the first on my block back in 2018 buying this, not many EV owners back then. II am going to address this topic in my upcoming video 7. I do appreciate all comments.

Hey Isaac, I was told that 2021 versions didn't need or have the recall, as they have what ever the fix is. (told to me by GM) I actually don't have any problems, (other than GM has limited my charge to 90%) but my recall is to have new batteries installed, as several Bolts have caught Fire. My question to you, is what is the "same problem"? Have any 2021 Bolts caught Fire? I am no expert, but I thought it was earlier 2017 18 and 19s that caught fire. I appreciate any info you offer here. (as we are all learning here)

6,200$ in 3 years?? How much did he pay for the car? With tax in Canada, you're over 50K. Take off incentives, little over 40K. Could have bought a chevy Trax or Hyundai Kona for 21K. Its gonna take 10 years to break even. Not worth it. 2022 model might be as it's now cheaper.

Hey Joe, I hear you. But, I made my choice to avoid gas stations forever, and I am happy with my choice. To each his own. Actually, the most cost effective way to go is buy a $2000 car and run it to the ground, and then do it again. But, gas will be going up again and again for the next 10 years and onward,. I really like never going to the gas station.

@@daryledean to each his own for sure. If those cars were closer to gas car prices, it would make sense. Spend double the $$$ to save gas makes no sense, and UNRELIABLE chargers. Better gas up in 3-5 mins than waiting for a slow charger for an hour because of cold temps That's why I bought a 2015 VOLT. Only using gas on longer trips.

@@bmw803 gas up in 3-5 minutes…because you teleported to the gas station? No time involved going there eh? EVs can “fuel” up at home. 0 minutes involved there. The only instance of needing to spend time at a DC charger is on long trips over 3 hrs. Which frankly, most people do very infrequently.

@@edsmale you realize that gas stations are EVERYWHERE. You pull in on the way to wherever, gas up and fuck off. I dont see this as an inconvenient.. No one wakes up, go to gas up and get home. Still better than EV charging hassles and broken units.
