If you get the right seats you'd be fine. I had the Sunshine Kids Radian, now called Diono Radian (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DWB2Q3C/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1539783853&sr=8-3&keywords=sunshine+kids+radian&dpPl=1&dpID=41MCC-AGriL&ref=plSrch) as it is super compact and can be both front and back facing. For the booster if you don't need a back anymore you can get a Bubble Bum for the ultimate in compactitude (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AQYZCXK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1539783998&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=bubble+bum+booster+seat&psc=1). If your not buying new seats though a dealer will certainly let you test if everything fits with what you have (or what I would do is buy the new seats first, then test them).

Now, your kids will have to like each other but I think those measurements will work out (sometimes it depends on how the latch centers the seat).

As for the trunk. If you opt against the trunk false floor option you get a wonderful well that should easily fit a stroller. That's something I recommend you go to the dealer and test out.

Thanks for posting. It's great to see feedback like this from real owners.

Regarding the windshield wipers, I generally always replace the stock wipers with silicone wiper blades. I've had good luck with SilBlades but the PIAA Silicone Blades are supposed to be even better. I can't stand regular rubber blades anymore.

Did you mean something like this? I think these would be perfect:

Seems like the lesson there is to get a high quality receptacle designed for multiple insertions. The first thread recommends the Hubbell HBL9450A, which is pretty pricey. I find it hard to believe a Leviton one would be fine since that is commonly seen at RV sites.

Also proper installation/wiring is key. All connections must be good so nothing gets hot, and cables should be of the proper thickness for the current drawn (6AWG in this case).

Also a of grease or dust getting onto the plug as that can reduce the contact area and cause heat.

(And amps can equate to heat if wiring is inadequate and thus overloaded.)

I use this one from Amazon.

  • Plugs in: cheaper to install, easy to take with you when you move.

  • Long cord: don't skimp, you'll want to be able to charge from anywhere in your garage or in your driveway, rather than being forced to pull in to reach the charger.

  • Built-in cord management.

  • Attractive design: the entire unit has a glowing backlight, amber when charging, green when fully charged, off when not plugged in.

  • Name brand: Siemens makes some of the best equipment in the world (rail cars, medical equipment, factory machines, etc) and gives a 3-year warranty.

  • UL listed, will meet code wherever you live.

  • 30 amps = 7.2 kW, the max home charging speed for the Bolt.

    And if you have Amazon Prime, it can be on your doorstep tomorrow. I had it installed near my breaker box, cost from a licensed electrician was $120.

We use one in our Bolt and my wife loves it. It has quite a long cable and its fairly large.

This is the one we use: Electric Car Blanket- Heated 12 Volt Fleece Travel Throw https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006A1PGDE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_UxL9KRTDp7UIJ

This is the one I use on a daily basis and it works like a champ. Fifty feet, 10 gauge with a lighted female end. Never gets warm and no voltage loss. I charge at 8 amps on the regular, but on days I need an extra boost I ramp up to 12 and it shows no signs of stress whatsoever. I got a lower gauge (thicker wire) with better insulation to weatherproof the cord. Highly recommend it.

I second the Roav nomination. I have THREE Roav A1in my Bolt, Front, Rear, and Charge Port.

I've had them about a year and have had zero issues. I've pulled numerous incidents off the cameras and posted them online for my friends.

I paid about $43 each for them from Amazon.

Also, be sure you get good SD cards. Bad cards lead to no video when you really need it. I have these Samsung Evo Selects and have not had one fail yet.

I thought we all agreed that it was the Flash sticker

u/Felger · 1 pointr/BoltEV

You know, I've considering trying to get 2.8-ish kW out of a TT-30 by using a step-up transformer in line, to turn it from 120x30 to a 240x15. Something like this should work:
https://smile.amazon.com/LiteFuze-LT-5000-Voltage-Converter-Transformer/dp/B008GQTXS0

The idea being, split the 120v into two-phase 240v and cutting the current in half. You trick the Bolt into pulling about twice as much power from the outlet.

u/Ksevio · 1 pointr/BoltEV

I got one of these off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AAKQWKM

Needs a 40amp/240v breaker, but all that is in the manual. Mine's hard wired so no outlet needed

While you'd still run the risk of inconvenience in case of a puncture in a place where it wouldn't work or if the tire totally fails, you could consider carrying around that tire pump and a tire plug kit like this. I plugged a tire with one of those over a year ago and have had zero leakage from it.
