I think the charging time at home depends on the voltage of your charger. I got a Level 2 charger, and it makes a huge difference compared to a standard outlet!
I’ve been considering upgrading mine! But how much of a difference does it actually make in practice?

From my experience, a Level 2 charger can cut the charging time in half, so it’s worth it if you can invest a little extra into it.
I’m intrigued by the Bolt EV’s tech too. Its interface makes finding charging stations easy, but have you all noticed issues with navigation accuracy sometimes?
Yes, but occasionally it brings me to out-of-service stations! Anything you usually do to avoid that?
I double-check charging station apps while driving to be safe! They often provide real-time updates, which is a lifesaver.

That’s a smart tip, @jasonsuarez! Sometimes, it can feel like a treasure hunt with all the different chargers available. I’m excited about the Bolt EV, though!
I love it too! Trying to charge during peak hours can be a hassle, but it’s all part of the electric car journey. A bit like waiting for your food at a restaurant—test of patience!
I’ve had my 2023 Bolt EV for a few months now, and I find the cabin comfort to be exceptional for an EV. The seats are supportive, which makes longer drives much more enjoyable.
I totally agree! The seat quality really surprised me—very comfortable and feels high-end for the price range.
The infotainment system has a bit of a learning curve, but once you get used to it, it’s pretty intuitive. I love the connectivity features!
That’s true! I had such a tough time figuring out the navigation settings at first, but I’m getting the hang of it now.
One feature I love is how all the tech in the Bolt EV is geared toward usability. It’s designed well for everyday driving!

I think the cabin could use a little more sound insulation. At highway speeds, it can be a bit noisy.

Honestly, I had higher expectations for the seat quality after all the reviews. They aren’t bad, but could be softer.
I see what you mean! I took a long drive and felt a bit sore afterward, could use some more cushioning.
What about the climate control? It works well but can be a bit complicated to adjust without taking your eyes off the road.
Right?! Could they make it any less intuitive?
The tech features are awesome! I love the driver assistance options that make my commute a breeze.
