2023 Chevy Bolt EUV Redline: Super Cruisin' to Superchargin'

I took the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV to the closest open Tesla Supercharger in Placerville, California to see how it all worked. I used this as an opportunity to test out Super Cruise availability and functionality on various rural and connecting highways.

I really like the maps in the background. That really helps us visualize where you’re going.

As always Eric, I enjoyed your video.👍👊✌🖖

Had exactly same experience on 1st charging at a Tesla SC’r. On my 2nd session, charging started in about 20 seconds!! Probably 1st use checking payment, as you mentioned.

Thanks for the tip on plugging in and waiting until the handshake is complete (EA charging). I'll try that next time.

Thank you for another great video! I have a 2017 Bolt EV. It has 155,000 miles on it. It's been rock solid so far. I charge at home and charge for free at work which helps as my commute is 60 miles each way. I was very disappointed the few times I used DC fast charging as the Bolt EV is so slow to charge. I realize it's not meant to be a road trip car but I feel it should be faster at charging. My next car will most likely be a Tesla. The charging network and speed of charging is superior in my opinion. I test drove the model Y and loved it! My only complaint is the price. I just wonder if GM will be a player in the EV market in the future or how soon they will be asking for another government bail out. I hope it doesn't come to that!

Cool to see you out in the EUV. It is my understanding that the Bolt does not get the latest Supercruise. It is only a small subset of the roads that are on the full newer version. Supercruise is only a limited 3yr included trial and then requires a subscription it isn't something that I would be interested in. The subscription model does not work for me. Only on the EUV, not on the regular EV either.

Thank you for checking out the supercharger. Maybe next time it will be faster connection. Time will tell

[@user-rt2rv6gq1s]

watching Eric charging in a supercharging station in a Bolt and criticizing the rate is amusing

[@user70331]

Makes sense. As ev get super popular, bolts will create huge jams at public charging unless gm upgrade port.

Waiting for next gen Bolt...... have been looking to EUV more than a year... a

[@pfisher737]

I have the same car, package, and color.

The billing address thing is definitely an issue in the Tesla app. I wasnt able to add my checking account to actually pay for my tesla because that was missing. I had to contact Tesla to find out what the problem was even though I had no problem with the reservation payment.

[@tkmedia3866]

Should check out the 7-Eleven (7charge network) ABB units. Orangevale closest one maybe?, maybe the new Electrify America mega site garage in Downtown San Francisco whenever that opens.

[@AndrewMackoul]

Super Cruise only works on divided roads. It looks like earlier in your video, when you tried to use it, the road was undivided.

[@LastMumzy]

Watching you standing out in the rain gets me thinking; why don't they have roofs over the charging stations like they do at all gas stations?

[@raitchison]

Are any of those CalTrans DCFC chargers reliable? I know the 4 on the 15 between Victorville and the Nevada Border are rated 1 on plugshare which in my view makes them worse than useless.

[@wayne1559]

please do a video on using a Tesla destination adapter for a 2022 bolt euv

[@terrytreadwell7385]

You said the 2023 EUV doesn't have wireless connection for Android Auto. My 2022 seemed like it had to be plugged but I kept after the dealer until they swapped out a new radio, Now it works great - WIrelessly. Hard to believe it would not be so on 2023 EUV

[@richdaley9982]

I know this is an older video but GM has updated the online maps to show which roads are mapped specifically for the EUV. I think it is not about updating the software on the car as they seem to add new roads for the EUV. It seems more like certain roads are not compatible with the EUV hardware. I noticed for the higher end system, there are 2 lane roads that are compatible but the EUV will only work on roads with a median.

So was it a magic dock? How do you find out what tesla chargers near you cam charge non teela/ccs?
