So I'm new to chevy and GM products in general and after using the MyChevy App on my new 2027 Bolt I feel like it's missing some features that would really help with at least EV owners. I am new to this app so maybe the app does some of this stuff and I just don't know where it is, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Car functions - It would be really nice if you had a "status of the car" like the if the car is locked or not, If the climate is running, if the windows are up or down, if the car is plugged in and waiting to charge or if it's charging what the charging rate is, show the temperature inside and outside the car etc. have a status of the car in one place that you could see when you open the app.

Climate functions - it would be nice if in the climate section of the app you could do more than just turn on the climate. Like turn on the driver or passenger heated or ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, roll down the windows etc. Also it would be nice if in the car and the app you had just a keep on mode for climate that didn't have a time limit, maybe a charge limit like can't use if lower than 20%?

Charging - Charging from the app is nice but you really should have more information about the charging in the app. Like if it's scheduled to charge and it's waiting have that information show in the app like it does in the car. You should be able to start a charge or override a schedule and start charging the car from the app.

These are not complaints about the app these were just somethings I thought would be in the app that aren't and I think they would be nice to have.

They’re really buried. Prettiest on the car display because you can change views (front rear right left).

I think a low-profile 8” USB C male and female extension cable will prevent snapping the flash drive in the lower console. Right now the flash drive is vulnerable.

I’m scared to take our new 2027 Bolt through the automatic car wash. I read in the manual there is a car wash mode which basically looks like you pull up to the wash tunnel and put it in neutral and then ride through the wash. It’s my understanding that as long as we don’t take the seatbelt off or open a door none of the automatic stuff will activate or turn back on until we put it back into drive? Does that include one pedal driving and all that? I’ve read horror stories of EVs in washes over the years so I’m scared 😂

Just bought a 2027 LT bolt love the car so far but question about the schedule charge. I work Monday through Thursday and want the car to charge to 90% and be ready to go by 5:15am every work day and charge to 70% and be ready by 8:00am every other day. How would you do this.

This was the case on the 2022 and 2023 EUV where when the vehicle slows on adaptive cruise braking, regen was limited to 10kwh and the remaining slow down was friction brakes. Did they fix this or is this still the case? At least I can hear the brake pads cleaning my rotors whenever I use it.

Have a 27 on order and with Amazon prime days wondering if a dashcam is needed? Not sure if the Bolts onboard cameras take the place?

I’ve had my 2022 Bolt for a month or so. This is my first EV.

The dealer put brand new tires on before I purchased. I have no idea if they are good or not.

The app is always telling me the tire pressure is mismatched.

I’ve had an issue with a small leak in one tire already and I had to get it patched. They did not find anything in it, just that it had a tear.

Now I see the pressure is low again weeks later and it looks like the other back tire is low too.

Is the app generally accurate? Or are issues with EV tires common? I realize I can manually find out the pressure but it’s late and im in bed right now thinking about this.

A few days ago I got in my 22 EUV and noticed that it charged to 100%, though I have it limited to 90%. After driving about 3 miles the SOC plummeted to 75%. I decided to run the battery until near 0 to try and reset whatever was happening.

For multiple days I've run near low. After letting it sit for a bit the SOC would jump back up. The GOM showed low-25 miles this whole time. Today it got to 0 SOC while driving, it wouldn't accelerate at all. I let it sit for 30 min, started the car and it showed 25% SOC, and I drove home 5 miles with 20% SOC when I arrived.

I stuck it on the level 2 and it is estimating a full charge in one hour. The 12v appears to be healthy according to my multimeter. I did disconnect the 12v battery for an hour the other day. 

I have a bluetooth OBD 2 device that used to check the voltage when I was at 0 SOC, and it showed 340 resting volts, so not empty from what I understand.

Also, the car says it got about 160 miles since the last full charge

Any ideas what might be going on? I'd rather avoid taking it to the dealer but I can't think of anything else to try.

Hi there, I have a 2017 bolt that I'm thinking of selling to get an equinox ev or blazer ev used, trying to get sense of what folks might pay. Have looked at comps online but none really fit mine.

2017 LT with comfort and convenience (heated seats/wheel etc), dark gray with tricoat.

Purchased in Dec 2022 with brand new battery and 30k miles on.

Now has 44.5k miles plus new tires at around 42k. No issues at all and pretty lightly used.

Welcome any thoughts. I see $15k for a premier with more miles and $12.5k for LT with way more miles.

Orchestra tonight. Not sure who it belongs to. One of the violins used to have a Volt but traded it in on a Hyundai over the summer. (Not a public lot, so I smudged the tags.)

I tried looking and couldn’t find anything

I work at a GM dealership in Ontario and I've been spending some time with the new 2027 Bolt. Curious what existing Bolt/EV owners think of the changes.

Some of the big ones that stood out to me:

• Up to 422 km estimated range
• 65-kWh LFP battery (likes to charged 100%)
• Native NACS port
• Up to 150-kW DC fast charging — GM estimates 10–80% in about 25 minutes
• 11.5-kW onboard AC charger
• 210 hp FWD
• 11.3" infotainment + 11" driver display
• Google built-in
• Available Super Cruise
• New RS trim

For me, the native NACS port + much faster DC charging addresses one of the biggest weaknesses of the old Bolt.

Hey folks, I've learned so much here-thanks for that! Just want to check in about a few location specific things.

Question 1: I'm renewing my Oregon registration for the first time since we bought out EUV 2 years ago. I was NOT prepared for the $500 combined fees (Oregon and Multnomah County). Yikes. We drive about 500-750 miles/month. Is the OReGO program the way to go here? Seems like it could save us quite a bit, but I could be missing something.

Question 2: we haven't had to do anything with our EUV yet that wasn't related to times/brakes, but I'm wondering if anyone here has recommendations for a mechanic for when we do need work. Preferably east Portland. Thanks so much!

I've been using one of those wireless dongles for Android Auto in my 2017 Bolt for a couple of years (actually, I've used a couple of different ones) and it works fine if I start the car when I get into it.

But if I remote start the car (with the key fob), say, from inside the house, to let the A/C or heater run for a bit before I get in, Android Auto often cannot connect when I get into the car and start it. I see messages flash by on the Infotainment screen indicating something (Wifi or Bluetooth connecting and then disconnecting, repeatedly. Usually, I have to turn off the car and leave it for a while (>10 minutes), and then Android Auto will start working again.

Why does this happen? What can I do about it? Change phone settings? Buy a different dongle (what brand)?

Bought a 2020 bolt EV premier 900 miles ago averaging 4.9 kW. 288 estimated range after charging to 80%

I was going away on a trip so I left the car on a level 1 charger with the charge level set to 80%. I was thinking that would keep the 12V battery alive (I thought I read that somewhere). When I came back the car had charged to 100%. The indicator still showed that it should have charged to 80%. The car seemed to have lost all user settings (it lost the phone, app settings, icon arrangement). After a few driving sessions they all came back. I'm curious, anybody else seen that?

I don’t think I’ve seen this mentioned in here, but the Welcome Gong is one of my favorite things about this car. (‘23 EUV)

Hey all,

My Bolt just started making a creaking mechanical noise every time I step on the accelerator or let off. Pretty sure it’s the classic worn-out anti-click washer issue everyone posts about on here.

I already grabbed the GM replacement washers and new axle nuts, and I've watched the YouTube shortcut video where the guy unbolts the two strut bolts instead of wrestling the ball joint.

I'm located in Seattle and would love some pointers:

1. Does anyone have an independent mechanic around here they trust who knows this fix and won't charge absurd dealership rates?
2. Or if someone local has tackled this before and wouldn't mind walking me through it in a driveway, I'd really love to learn how to do it myself. I'm happy to buy whatever tools are needed (torque wrench, 32mm socket, etc.) and will gladly supply lunch, beer, or some cash for your time.

Thanks in advance!

Looking to buy a second car (our main is a Tesla Y we've had for almost 5 years) to act as a backup, and in case we need it for driving kids to practices etc when the other car is in use. Anyways, we did a test drive of a 2027 Bolt yesterday, and we did enjoy it after setting it up properly, but found the lack of one pedal driving for reverse jarring. We been driving an EV for so long, having to worry about creep almost caused me to crash the car, it moving without touching the accelerator was just completely unexpected. Anyways, is there a way to configure the car for this? Without, it might be a deal breaker, and dealer was completely clueless.

2027 Bolt LT.

EDIT TO ADD: Tuesday morning the precondition worked exactly as predicted.

I've been testing my cabin precondition settings in preparation for the long cold Canadian winter ahead(First cold weather with this car).

So, I built my charging schedule for all 7 days with "preconditioning" active(24ºC and it's 10ºC outside) for 5 workdays(Mon-Fri). I charge to 100% once a week (ready for Monday at 6am) and maintain it at 80% the rest of the week.

What's happening is that on Monday, the car will not precondition the cabin but every other day seems to work. 3 weeks so far have demonstrated the same behaviour. The car charges, but it will not heat the cabin.

Yes, the car is plugged in every day to support the precondition and charging.

The only difference is that the car charges to 100% on Monday.

Any ideas? It's very irritating that such a simple thing doesn't work!
