I have enjoyed your videos immensely as a past auto mechanic and industrial electrician the EVs pull it all together. I use to teach arc flash safety and would joke about the under 50 volt rule minimum safety gear was needed, I guess they never saw a 12 volt car battery explode. I can only imagine what kind of energy would escape while plugging those connectors in if something went wrong. Watching the news one day they showed a car driving through deep water and explode, I thought to myself it has to be an EV. Keep up the good work.

Hi, first of all thank you very much for these excellent videos, knowledge and educational programme. I just wanted to mention that in some electrical vehicles after disconnecting the service fuse you have to wait 10 minutes or so before starting/carrying/inspection for any work. I believe we have to wait for the capacitor to fully discharged or de-energised. Correct me if i'm wrong. I noticed soon after you disconnected the service fuse you went straight to check for voltage in the inverter. many thanks.

Firstly, a very well done series of videos. The one thing I did notice is that your probe tips were set to category 3 when you were calling them category 4 and vice versa. The higher the category number the less exposed metal at the tip. I'm curious why they specified those specific ratings. In my field (electrician) category increases as you get closer to the source due to higher risk of transients. I wasn't aware that there would be a risk of transients at all coming from a battery pack. Either way I'd have my probes set to cat 4 with all that available power. Less metal, less chance to cause an accidental short. Thank you again for this wonderful series.

I await your tear-down of this pack. I noticed the tapered seam between the two halves of the pack and can only guess that this is to improve water and debris run-off which will reduce corrosion on the MANY bolts holding the two shells together. The label you could not identify its purpose on the top appeared to be a material label. GF45 sounds like Glass-Filled 45% to me. GM used a patented (or possibly trade secret) material on the Chevy Spark pack and this looks like the same fiberglass-reinforced material used on that pack. It’s light. It’s strong. It’s also expensive.

Thanks for the well explained sequence there. I think I would not leave the high voltage connector hanging down into the coolant bucket while removing the fitting. A splash onto that connector and you may find yourself wondering how you’re going to clean it. Also it’s possible that there could be a lot more coolant in that pack than you think and it simply fills the bucket up until the connector is dunked. So I’d push it out of the way before disconnecting. Otherwise a great procedure well explained.

Great point, I should have had that out of the way. Luckily it did not get splashed on. The rest of the coolant (3.8L) was removed from the battery in the next video on battery disassembly. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaS4Y6CgnrOclbMm49s Thanks for your feedback.

Great video! I appreciate the time you take to capture and explain every detail. This is like the show Ask This Old House for automobiles. Is there is no aerodynamic defuser (cover) underneath the Bolt? The battery pack, cables, and lines are all exposed to the elements if there is not cover. Here in the Northeast, all the salting of the roads and highways will take a toll on them. Fossil fuel vehicles can't have a full cover because of the exhaust pipe, catalytic converter and muffler being very hot. But fully electric vehicles can.

John, would you PLEASE make a KZbin video explaining how to understand and charge The Chevy Bolt all 3 levels.. I've watched so many videos that are vague about how to plan a trip for charging.How much time it will take to charge. Even charging to 67 %, then moving on. I'm so trying to learn how to know if a charger even works by the time you arrive to recharge on these long distant trips in the bolt EV. You explain things so well. So many people would benefit from your shared knowledge. Thank you,

Hi Professor Kelly, First let me compliment you on your series of videos on the Chevrolet Bolt. I have watched everyone and learned a lot. They are great because they make the complicated seem simple. That is a talent. Thank you. I have also watched several of your videos on the Prius. Again you did an excellent job of making the sophisticated simple. I have a request. Would you consider demonstrating, on a video, the installation of a 12 VDC to 120 VAC inverter into the Bolt? I believe in order to make this work as a backup emergency system the Bolt needs to be on? Again thank you for very interesting, detailed and thorough videos. Leo

This unit was from a fire damaged 2026 MODEL S. You do a much more detailed explanation than Sandy Munro. I’m sure You would both have total respect for each other’s analysis. I would like to know how this motor evolved starting in 2012 with probably many prototypes with failures, and redesign and to a product that will last more than 20 years. My observations are how unique the requirements for sealing are which are much more complicated than any Gas Engine. The seals used and routing of coolant both internally and externally to

Did you happen to notice on the underside, there is approximately 80% of a spare tire well (don't believe this is capture? I'm still scratching my head on that one. I believe with fast charging the power is transferred through the same large cables that connect the battery and controller(?). GM manufacturing Bolts w/out DCFC is unfortunate. I own a Spark EV w/ DCFC. You do good work sir, thank you for sharing.

Thank you! I have not looked in the compartment on the car yet. It does look like a spare tire area, but it is probably just storage. I just verified it, you are absolutely correct. When using the DC fast charger, the large 2 wire connector at the battery is used. The small 2 wire connector is only used when using a Level 1 or Level 2 AC J-1772 charger connector. Thanks again, have a great day!

Although it looks like a spare tire well, one would definitely NOT fit. However, a factory wheel with a tire fits just about perfect under the false floor if you have the option or bought it aftermarket. The well has a big foam block which provides storage for the recovery hook, the optional (?) air compressor, and 120 volt charging cord.

Hello, I have some detailed questions: When should we add oil to the engine? For example, I added oil 1 year ago and it still shows 90%, should I change the oil in this case? , also, when is it better to charge the battery, should it sit until the end and then charge? If, for example, the battery shows 50%, 60% or something else, then can it be charged? Which is better for battery care? And another question, how many amperes is better to charge the car?

Thank you so much for the great video. I am surprised the bolt has such a thin battery design comparing to BMW i3. I guess the reason behind is the drive train layout? So I guess the bolt is front wheel drive, which Chevy could fit the motor under the hood, and free up the space under rear seat for batteries and control module. And i3 is rear wheel drive, so the space under rear seat and trunk is taken out by the motor and optional generator, so the battery has to be a relatively flat module to fit under the floor, also it can't stick out too much in front in case of frontal collision, don't want to damage the batteries and control module. But still just look from the outside the LG cells in Chevy Bolts seems to be a lot shorter(thinner) than the Samsung cells in BMW i3

Did you ever figure out what the leak from the steering gear was? My Bolt has a binding steering gear and my friend and I have been arguing about how the rack might have failed, and I remember you spotted a leak near your steering gear. Did you ever diagnose it? GM would claim it's wax in this TSB - 16-NA-109. But it seems counter intuitive that the steering gear would use oil vs grease.

Great detail as always, Professor Kelly! Would you consider having the B(ravo)olt over your V(ictor)olt?? Assuming of course you still own Victor... Also, there seems to be an awful lot of surface area with all the webbing in the under structure of this car. Could that present issues in the future with corrosion as I see lots of places for road salt, etc to live. I'm wondering what you think? 👋🏻

Nice to see, as basically 150,000 Bolts will be going through this battery pull out.

Very well done. Your patience is remarkable. You explain technical aspects very well, a nice balance of clarifying concepts in some instances while seemingly having expectations that the listener is an educated layman that does not need handholding. This topic is highly interesting to this retired white collar guy who likes getting hands dirty turning wrenches. Being convinced that EV is the solution to the near future, I dare say that very many find your topics of great value. You are trail blazing what I contend is one of the most important technical maintenance areas into the rest of the 21st century. Thanks, as well to Weber State for supporting you in bringing your channel to life!

Are there 2 bonding lugs on the battery for redundancy? Why put both in the same place?

Thank you, Professor. You mentioned there are two battery designs and that this Bolt does not have the fast DC charging option. I don’t see a fast charge connector on this pack. 1st Q: Do you know if the other pack design is for the fast DC charging or why there would be two pack designs for this vehicle? 2nd Q: Where are you getting your service information from? Do you have a subscription or were you able to purchase a service manual? I was hoping to obtain a service manual for the Bolt, myself.

Thank you! Correction to my video: When using the DC fast charger, the large 2 wire connector at the battery is used. The small 2 wire connector shown in the video is only used when using a Level 1 or Level 2 AC J-1772 charger connector. I am getting the battery pack design information from the Chevrolet Service information. It shows the New Design Battery Pack being installed in Vehicles built after 1G1FX6S06H4163254. The first design battery has two female coolant connections at the battery. The first design also has the service disconnect lever (under the back seat) as opening from the driver's side of the vehicle rather than opening from the passenger side of the vehicle. The EPA Service information act of 1995 requires that all factory service information be made available online. You can see all of the service information prices and links here www.nastf.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3291 Paper service manuals are no longer available. Best wishes!

I was wrong in my previous comment to you. I have edited it to be correct. When using the DC fast charger, the large 2 wire connector at the battery is used. The small 2 wire connector is only used when using a Level 1 or Level 2 AC J-1772 charger connector.

WeberAuto Thanks, again. The second design must have been some poke-yoke-ing to eliminate goofs at the manufacturing plant as the differing ports prevent mis-assembly. I can only surmise that the reversal of the service disconnect was for another optimization improvement. Thank you for the service link. It seems all automakers have gone this route. Pricey for the garage mechanic (I still like to do my own brakes, you know!).

Hi, John ... such a large sealed enclosure volume must have a vent for pressure equalisation. Would it be fair to assume that this is done via the fused disconnect plug? It seems to not have a gasket or seal to the receptacle but instead a labyrinth arrangement. Additionally, if the fuse blows it should be able to vent freely. What's your take on that? Thanks !

Are the version 2 batteries preferable to have in the 2017? I've heard they have fewer problems than the first version battery. As I'm looking to buy a used 2017 pretty soon, that's a serious consideration.

I will pop the top in the next video and totally disassemble the entire battery pack. Thanks for your feedback! Individual cells cannot be replaced. Only the battery modules.
