OK...thanks for your thoughts on OBD BLE security issues. I decided to go with a vLinker MC+ but that was because not owning a Bolt yet (pick it up in 6 days!) I didn't realize that accessing the OBD port was that easy. Am I correct that it is easy as I see in the video? So...I just wanted to see how well your VEEPEAK is working for you. Do you find any glitches in data when you uplug it in the middle of a charge and/or trip when you take a break? TIA!
Hi, i have an ev with the electric traction fault. Dash powers on from 12V standard battery and shows the fauts warnings. Will this tool work and read/reset the error codes?

Thanks a lot for the video, it looks very straight forward when you select your different options for the dashboard, but when I do the same thing with the app I don’t get any EV options just ICE ones. Could it be that I have the wrong dongle?
I like the color of your car, is it ok to ask what color code it is? Recently got my fiat painted and was not happy with the result. So setting aside colors I like for whenever my next car is.
@@SpinnerEV do you have an android or iPhone and can you send me a pick of the app. I have the same OBD but the fusion app doesn’t have features for ev’s.
@@SpinnerEV You can keep it plugged but it will draw current and run your battery down . In addition it will leave your car open to be stolen by a thief use a scanning device so it is not recommended.
Can you give the android app link, because I cannot find Car Scanner Pro, only Car Scanner ELM OBD2? Thank you We have to take the Ampera EV for the the Chevy Bolt?
Thanks so much for taking the time to prepare and upload this video. Much appreciated,
You’re welcome!

It’s very easy to access
@SpinnerDaj Can you also check the Health of the EV battery?
It can check the battery capacity and you can compare that figure to what it’s supposed to have

Does it give you an option to identify your car?

This is Chevrolet’s Ice Blue Metallic
@@SpinnerEV oh awesome! thanks!
Excellent thanks
Do you leave the dongle plugged in 24/7?
I have same dongle n app
I do not. I only plug in it when I want to check something.
Will it measure the degradation level of the ev battery?
Yes, it has SOH data for the traction battery expressed as %
excellent video. can you save the data in cvs or xls file?
I haven’t tried

I use car scanner
@@SpinnerEV do you have an android or iPhone and can you send me a pick of the app. I have the same OBD but the fusion app doesn’t have features for ev’s.
I have an iPhone. Here’s the App Store link

I’d recommend trying a different app in that case. There are others available
