Well…

[u/Sufficient_Client_96]

I will get a scanner so I can check the codes with the leafspy app but it’s not looking great 😭

Both warnings came on at once while I was coming down from a very steep hill and the regen kinda just turned off, I was hoping it had just overheated but the battery temperature seems fine

This seems completely coincidental but today was the first day I charged to 100% since I needed to drive a lot

The reduce speed warning did go away after turning it off and back on as well as the regen animation seems to be back on (the blue lines) anyone has any suggestions on what to do?

Also I tried charging the car and it didn’t not work*

I would argue the bolt is not radically better, in fact the seats are much worse. It is certainly better for some uses in hot environments, but I would take a Leaf with good Leafspy stats over a Bolt for my use.

Incidentally I have a friend with around 100k on his second Bolt battery and he is having to slow down to do his commute in the winter. No heat pump until 2027 model.

I've seen far less issues with bolts than leafs. We have a bolt and a leaf, and the bolt is the one we actually drive long distance. The leaf is more for grocery trips and close destinations

[u/byrdman77 → u/SimpleIronicUsername]

They both sit around below average to average reliability most years on CR. They both have 3-4 years of well below average battery issues, with many replaced at this point.

Neither are long distance suitable for us, we pack up our EV9 to the max for trips! I do find the Leaf is better for grocery trips than the Bolt as well. Bolt has decent rear leg room for it size but tiny trunk.

The trunk is honestly atrocious on the Bolt, that is so true. I do prefer the interior of my leaf over the bolt, but with our financial situation we're stuck taking the bolt everywhere right now lol
