Bolt EV lemon

In 2017, I bought a Chevrolet Bolt (delivered on 3/18/17. I made this purchase at F. H. Dailey Chevrolet, 800 Davis Street, San Leandro, CA 94577-1512. Though I was initially pleased with the Bolt it has turned out to be a lemon. Unfortunately, the car has not performed well because of numerous recalls and different systems not working or lasting. For instance, in 2023 I had to have the power cord replaced ($800) and then later in the year the car would not go into reverse or drive and I had to have it towed to the dealership ($160). To have this problem analyzed it cost $253 plus $300 to have the small batter replaced so that further analysis could be conducted (total bill for this work $553.49). I do not see these problems being a result of anything that I did. The car has only been driven 39,839 miles. I wrote a letter to the dealership and GM Customer Care and Aftersales requesting (1) a buyback, (2) a car swap, or (3) being directly reimbursed for these expenses during 2023 (a total of $1,518.49). I heard back from GM and they turned down all three requests. They offered an owner loyalty certificate which would “knock a few thousand dollars off the price” but of course I would have to buy a new car from them. I did not hear from the dealership. Though I still strongly support electric vehicles I recommend avoiding the Bolt and GM. Poor product and poor service.

The charging networks in many parts of the country (including Virginia) appear to still be too patchy for convenient long-range trips. Lots of planning required, and various memberships with charging providers. Many EV owners have other vehicles too. This is not yet a good replacement for the minivan. We went with a 2020 Ioniq Hybrid instead as a stepping-stone until the EV charging network is well established.
Surprizingly quick. One pedal driving!

Hey, I've got solar. Free electricity for house and car. Can't think of a better way to be free. Sun has zero pollution, zero waste, zero cost, zero maintenance, 2 billion year timeline. Bolt gets 219 mpge. A month of mobility for $10 (if I was paying for it, but I'm NOT!) Try one pedal driving, and you'll be fighting over who gets to drive. Pair a Tesla Gen 2 Mobility Connector, and a Tesla Tap or JDapter Stub, and drive anywhere for free.
