There's a driveway in front of the house. The car should be parked there

• The shifter has a little button on the left side of it. To shift gears, you press down on it with your thumb and while holding it move the shifter in the direction of the letter whose gear you want. • To turn on regen braking, just go into the L driving mode, by going to normal drive mode D with the gearshift and then going to drive mode again. It will show L on the gearshift, and will slow down when you let go of the accelerator. Even if you're not in one pedal driving mode, you can regen brake, by holding down the left steering wheel paddle. I HIGHLY recommend driving with regen braking to extend your driving range. • For the car seat, since it's so bulky, it's only supplied upon request. Make sure to ask for it, and I will include it. Some things will be very important to note when driving my car below • It's a 2017 Chevy Bolt LT. The fast charging was only available in the higher end Premier model of this year's car. As a result, it only supports Level 2 charging, with charging speed of 30 miles per hour. It does not support Level 3 fast charging. See the FAQ for more info • Set Google Maps and Plugshare to J-1772 in order to find Level 2 chargers. And charge often, not only when it's near empty. From near empty it takes overnight; 8-10 hours to fully charge. • If you're going to rent this car, you should make sure that one of these is true ◦ Your destination and return fit into the car's range (238 miles in the summer. 180 miles in the winter) ◦ OR You have an L2 or L1 charger at your destination where you'll be staying, if you're driving a long distance ◦ OR You have access to an outdoor wall outlet, where you're staying, that you can use with the included L1 charging cable ◦ OR if you're only doing city driving where there are chargers nearby • Install and setup the charging station apps in order to be able to use the charging stations on your trip. ◦ Chargepoint - https://www.chargepoint.com/drivers/mobile/ ◦ Blink - https://www.blinknetwork.com/mobile.html ◦ Semaconnect - https://www.semaconnect.com/blog/download-our-app/ ◦ EVgo - https://www.evgo.com/download-app/ ◦ Electrify America - https://www.electrifyamerica.com/mobile-app ◦ Shell Recharge - https://shellrecharge.com/en-gb/public-charging/shell-recharge-app ◦ Volta - Volta charging stations actually operates on advertising and are free, so you don't need to install the app to use it.

• How do I use the gearshift? How do I put the car into park? How do I set the emergency brake?

  The shifter has a little button on the left side of it. To shift gears, you press down on it with your thumb and while holding it move the shifter in the direction of the letter whose gear you want. The exception is park where you just press the P button on the top of the gearshift. To set the emergency brake, you have to flick the emergency brake switch to the left of the gearshift. Hold brake and flick it up to set it and down to unset it. My video explains: https://youtu.be/WdUaxuKhwXQ?t=50

• How do I use the turn signals? How do I use the wipers? What do the buttons on the steering wheel do?

  All of those buttons are similar to any other car. Right steering handle is the wipers. Left steering handle is the turn signal. Left steering wheel buttons are for cruise control. Right steering wheel buttons are for navigating the the dashboard's interface. Behind the steering wheel are two sets of paddles. The one of the left side does the regen braking. The ones on the right side controls volume for the radio. My video explains: https://youtu.be/WdUaxuKhwXQ?t=30

• What is regen braking? What is one-pedal driving? What does the L driving mode on the gearshift do? What does the left steering wheel paddle do?

  Electric cars have a feature called regen braking. With regen braking, the car will decelerate when you let go of the accelerator. The car will slow down and recharge the battery a little bit through induction. It's also called one-pedal driving because with it, you don't have to use the brake pedal very often. Normal braking will still work though. To turn on regen braking, just go into the L driving mode, by going to normal drive mode D with the gearshift and then going to drive mode again. It will show L on the gearshift, and will slow down when you let go of the accelerator. Even if you're not in one pedal driving mode, you can regen brake, by holding down the left steering wheel paddle. I HIGHLY recommend driving with regen braking to extend your driving range.

• How long does it take to charge this car? What is L1, L2 and L3 charging?

  This car is not a fast charging car. See the car description for explanation. You can still use it day to day though. It can slow charge at about 7kWh, or 30 miles of charge added to the battery per hour. This equates to 8-10 hours to fully charge from empty. Overnight charging, basically. This is called L2 charging. It uses a car charging plug called J-1772. The other levels of charging are L1, which uses your normal wall outlet, charges about 3kWh or 10 miles of charge per hour. This equates to 24 hours to fully charge from empty. Last resort charging basically. All electric cars can charge with this. It also uses the J-1772 car charging plug. If your stay has an outdoor wall outlet, you can charge with the included L1 charging plug. The level of charging that this car does not support is fast charging or L3 charging. This is in the higher end trim of my year's car. This only takes 45 minutes to charge from empty. It uses a car charging plug called CCS. Only public chargers can charge this fast. If you will be going long distances and need a car that can do fast charging, consider renting my Tesla https://turo.com/us/en/car-rental/united-states/seattle-wa/tesla/model-3/1871806 My video explains: https://youtu.be/WdUaxuKhwXQ?t=154

• How do I find charging stations?

  There are two main ways. Google Maps, and an app called Plugshare. First thing is to setup the apps so that when you search on them, they pull up L1, and L2 charging stations. For Google Maps go into the Settings -> Electric Vehicle Settings -> Set it to Wall Outlet and J-1772 https://www.howtogeek.com/762729/how-to-find-ev-charging-stations-in-google-maps/ My video explains: https://youtu.be/WdUaxuKhwXQ?t=220 Once you have Google Maps setup, you can go search for car charging stations For Plugshare, you add a vehicle. Instructions linked below.

• How do I charge the car at a public charging station? Do I need to setup an app?

  The public charging stations all, each have an app needed per charging station company. This app will unlock the station to start charging, and it handles the payments. I recommend installing and setting up an account for each of them before the trip, and then optionally uninstall the apps, and then if you need to use a particular station, you can just redownload the app and log back in and you're already setup A typical public L2 charger charges at a rate of about 30 miles per hour. So factor that into your plans These are the popular charging companies in the area • Chargepoint - https://www.chargepoint.com/drivers/mobile/ • Blink - https://www.blinknetwork.com/mobile.html • Semaconnect - https://www.semaconnect.com/blog/download-our-app/ • EVgo - https://www.evgo.com/download-app/ • Electrify America - https://www.electrifyamerica.com/mobile-app These are also in the area but not as much • Shell Recharge - https://shellrecharge.com/en-gb/public-charging/shell-recharge-app • Volta - Volta charging stations actually operates on advertising and are free, so you don't need to install the app to use it.

• How do I charge at someone's house or at an AirBnB? Do you include charging cables?

  Yes. I have a Level 1 charging cable and a Level 2 charging cable included in the trunk. The Level 1 charging cable uses a normal wall outlet, and charges at 110V, or about 3kWh, which puts 10 miles of charge onto the battery per hour. Very slow. Takes 24 hours to fully charge from empty. Use it to trickle charge the car, if the option is available to you. So if your AirBnB has an outdoor wall plug, just leave it plugged in all the time while it's there. The Level 2 charging cable uses the 220V NEMA 14-50 wall plug, like the ones a washing machine would use. If such an outlet is available to you, that would be recommended. It's slow but not as slow as the L1. It charges at 7kWh, which puts 30 miles of battery on the car per hour. Takes 8-10 hours to fully charge from empty. Use it to overnight charge the car. Public charging stations also charge at this speed.
