A really short video showing how much I spent on public charging for the entire year of 2023. Note: I drove about 5,000 miles in 2023!

Hi everyone! I'm still here and driving a Chevy Bolt EV! Driving an EV is still a great experience. Charging, however, has become more stressful. With more EVs on the roads and public charging infrastructure still lagging, I share my thoughts driving a Chevy Bolt EV in 2023. Recorded this on the fly with my iPhone 12 mini, so apologies for inconsistent audio levels!

Compared to gas-powered automobiles, EVs are low-maintenance! In this video, I briefly talk about EV maintenance in general. I also share my experience with the first routine service visit for my Chevy Bolt.

I live in a part of California where it is sunny nearly every day of the year. ☀️ In the summer, the temperature is often in the 90s. 🥵 I don't have a garage or a covered parking spot, so I decided to get the windows of my Chevy Bolt tinted. Big thanks to Jordan of Tintix in Brentwood, CA for the informative consultation and getting the job done in two hours! -Tinting film: Xpel Prime XR Plus w...

I recently took my first proper road trip in my Chevy Bolt EV! I drove from the San Francisco Bay Area to Los Angeles or, to be more specific, Walnut Creek to Van Nuys. How did an EV with an estimated range of 259 miles handle the 354-mile drive in the summer heat? How many stops did I make? Did the charging stations work?! And how much did I spend on charging? All of these topics are covered i...

Enjoying the peace and beauty of the outdoors sometimes means putting aside services such as wifi, cellular service, and clean bathrooms. But it doesn't mean you can't charge your EV! Or does it?! In this video, I take a weekday trip in my Chevy Bolt to a beautiful setting just outside San José: Castle Rock State Park in Saratoga, California. www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=538

The main barrier to the mass adoption of EVs is probably the daunting sticker price of many fully electric automobiles. In this video, I provide a pricing breakdown for my 2021 Chevy Bolt EV. I also briefly talk about specific programs available in California: the Clean Air Vehicle Decal and the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project.

Many shopping centers in my area have a handful of Level 2 stations provided by Volta Charging. It's FREE to charge your EV at these stations!

In this video, I use an Electrify America fast-charging station in a Safeway parking lot. Unlike Level 2 charging, fast-charging delivers direct current power straight to your EV’s battery. It’s the fastest way to charge an EV!

Renting an apartment is not a barrier to driving an EV. In this video, I use a nearby Level 2 ChargePoint station to charge to my Chevy Bolt EV. 🔋⚡
