I did a quick brief search and there was not a return found, so apologize if it's not been posted. For those in PGE service area, there is a current $500 rebate for owning an EV...

saw a post somewhere stating that the 0.32 for the BoltEV was a GM estimate and GM never actually measured the final number. Apparently the highway range is better than expected. I also just noticed while installing the front license plate that there is active front grill louvers, supposedly...

unfortunately the shape and size gives the Bolt about the same Cd as our iMiev, around 0.3x or so. If GM put the same hardware into a Volt body and gives it a heatpump heater, it'll be a winner. The lower Volt's Cd, around 0.2x i think, probably can push the range north of 260-mile on the...

hello, I have a photo of my iMiEV next to the BoltEV but can't seem to get it posted. I'll send it to Joes may be he can post. We went to look/test drive a Bolt on NewYear and there was one available, ordered by somebody who decided to get a Volt instead. I put down a deposit on my credit...

how about posting a block diagram so we can follow your train of thought ?

PV1- looks like a fun project. I briefly scanned the Midnight 150 charge controller, it doesn't seem to have lithium charge profile. Am I missing something ? the Outback inverter has lithium charging option. Does the Tesla pack already have built-in BMS ? may be the 150 can be programmed to...

The article abstract only mentioned economical impact, namely GDP. The cost may be even higher if one considers geopolitical unrest and the cost of the war. How does one put a price on life ?

thanks, good to know to watch out of the sudden loss of regen since it's cold enough here now for icy road.

hi all, lately I've started to notice the regen kicking out during sharp turn, as if a function of lateral acceleration. It's CA here so I don't think 40-50F is "cold". I don't recall noticing lost of regen in the past, though in the past I usually leave the house (at 2200-ft) with the pack...

Joes - is plugshare "Payment required" option selected ? i'll PM you a screenshot

hello -- all kind of info here at: http://www.mychevybolt.com/ It's at least a 60kwh pack, with CCS Level 3 as option. I have been saving up all my shiny pennies all years and am all set to buy one as soon as I can. I was debating between an a preowned S or waiting for the 3, ultimately i...

I wish there is a "Mountain Top" mode, to stop charge at 90% or so. I heard that the ChevyBolt has this mode.

Joe - check again, you may have to clear your browser's cache. There is one in King City and one in Paso Robles. Of course, it's a bit dicey to rely on these so remotely located, as they are known to be down. For example, a plugsharer (Susie) reported the Paso Robles's L3 EVSE was down on...

just checked plugshare and it's operational ! :D https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/13/bmw-and-vw-coastal-ev-charging-stations/ considering doing a SanJose <-> LA roadtrip. The parking cost per minute pushes the cost per mile over petrol for a 40MPG vehicle.

has any one successfully charge the iMiev using the stock charger powered by the Secure Power outlet from the solar Sunny Box Inverter ? these inverters have a 120vac, 2kw, outlet energized when the grid is down...

hi vh2q - any update ? did it work out with big/little battery in parallel ? winter is approaching and we've already a few power outages. Thanks

definitely try to "jump" with your jump battery. I would jump the iMiev auxiliary 12v and leave it connected while try to charge with your Level 2 for a while, may be 30-60 minutes and see if the traction pack starts to gain some bars. It's an quick easy way to rule out the 12v. If you have a...

Since we have both an iMiev and a Volt, I can understand your concerns, but not necessarily agreed completely. The problem is people can behave badly. It's an issue of civility and politeness. DCQC will simply permit more electric miles, period. It's a matter of charging etiquettes &...

I bought the Volt for my wife, as she can't handle the range anxiety. For such a larger vehicle, with much more power and a lot more bells & whistles, I am quite impressed that it's as electrically efficient as the i. I really wish that the Volt has DCQC.

I too am looking for ways to keep the AC control during DCQC. It seems the default AC on mode is dependent on the charging current. Once the current has tapered, the AC goes off. Even if DCQC session is restarted, the AC only runs briefly. As the sensor peak over 35C, I get too nervous and...
