Each time I charge the Chevy Bolt on the road I know more about charging platforms and their ins and outs.
. With a brand-spanking new battery, an 8-year warranty, and just over 20,000 miles, it was a good fit. Hubby installed an electrical outlet on the side of our rural country shed, and we were ready to charge for the majority of our time at our New England vacation home. I was also keenly aware that learning to charge the Chevy Bolt when on longer road trips would be really different than, we had only one occasion to charge the Chevy Bolt away from home.
And we were good citizens and moved the car before it was fully charged. We also met other EV drivers and compared notes.On the road again, the Bolt wasn’t syncing with the Google Map app in order to follow the ChargePoint app directions to the Newburyport, MA, charging station. I was the driver today, so I used Plan B: I entered the charging station address on my iPhone and sat the phone in a cup holder.
It was crazy busy! As we pulled up to the 4 sets of chargers, I saw that Hubby the Navigator had chosen an Electrify America platform. I’m the family treasurer, so that means I have all the charging apps on my iPhone. It took me another sit-down in the car to locate the app and then to add in my credit card information. But, no matter what technique I tried, the Electrify America app would not recognize me.
It worked, we charged to 80%, and Hubby was able to get out on the water for a little sailing while I wrote this article.Final Thoughts about Learning to Charge the Chevy Bolt on the Road
