I love watching your vids. You're so positive and always make me feel better. You should seriously consider daily vlogging.
Thank you so much!!!!!
thanks, really enjoy you videos also
Thanks, Evan!!
Hi Ezra, I have a 2016 Volt! So here are my tips: as for charging apps, I recommend two different ones, "VoltaCharging" and "PlugShare". Volta is much better and of course brought to you by the makers of Chevrolet. Completely free to use. You can sign up with others and pre-pay and fill up on charge and still cheaper than gas. You can find them at a lot of different places in LA. The app will show you not only where it is but EVEN when they are in use so you don't drive out and see they are taken. It usually limits you to 2 hours at each station. I initially got is as a lease because I was commuting from LA to OC for work and it is carpool eligible of course. Also tons of incentives for rewards and rebates from CA and Feds for tax incentives. So folks check out what may be best fit for you. And yes my Volt drives great and the pick up is awesome as I used to drive a hybrid and in comparison it feels like a sports car. I do have a charger that is portable but of course does take much longer to charge than a home charger or public stations. The bolt is a little smaller than my Volt but you are correct that it is much more spacious than it appears. Any folks who have further questions, feel free to reach out :-) be good!
My rental includes unlimited charging at EVgo superchargers so that's where I usually go!
I'm getting a Bolt tommarow, I have a lyft rental before and it was tough becuase uber would do promos for pax and and biz would die.
Also going to do allstate roadside and postmates. Hopefully this time around I'll do better.
Good Video, I pass you a lot in Santa Monica when I drive. I have a Chevy Bolt as well that I Uber with.
I am able to get 350 miles in range which is amazing for ridesharing and food delivery.
Thanks, Keith! I'll be on the lookout for you and your Bolt! 350 miles? That's incredible!! I always start thinking about where to charge when I get to about 80 miles left in range.
How do you charge? Home, level 2 or supercharger?
Rideshare Genius
Well I charge on a level 2 at home. One charge will last me the whole day.
Well I hope your free sometime would love to chat with you.
+Keith Landers absolutely!
Did you go to San Diego to pick up the car? And then did you just up load the new car to your profiles?
Just curious, are you still driving the bolt, also where did you rent it?
I need to try that rental service because enterprise is getting expensive. I'm gonna see if Chicago has that service or getaround.com
Tell us now how is the battery after 2.5 years ?! Can an EV works 24 hours for Uber and charged via level 3 twice daily ?
Congrats on lucking out on these. In my experiences these are extremely popular, and since neither Uber nor Lyft let us drivers choose the vehicles(what the fuck, man), it is very hard to net the electric vehicle. If you have found one for rental, then sure, it's a no brainer. They're great for those who take a break in the middle after morning commute hours and resume during evening commute hours.
This is directly through Maven Gig. I know Maven-Lyft/Uber has some Bolts but this is a product not directly tied to Uber or Lyft. And you get to select the vehicle you want because each car is at a different price. I'm sure the Bolts do go quickly but I've also heard that some people who aren't quite ready for the charging life are returning them
Thinking of renting the Chevy Bolt from Mavis in Austin. Do you still think it’s a good investment for ride sharing? I have over 1k rides with Uber n Lyft in San Antonio and Austin Texas, I currently drive a 2006 GMC Envoy XL so I’ll be missing out on those rides, but wonder if savings on Gas would pay for this? Thanks for the videos!
I think it depends on a few factors - are you open to spending an hour at a charger for every 125 miles you wanna drive? are there chargers near you that would fit your lifestyle? can you easily cover the weekly rate by driving a day or two? if yes, then i think it could be worth trying. i love driving the bolt but maven can be a pain to deal with. their customer service is pretty bad. they will probably be brand new bolts so i recommend trying it as close to launch as possible. also, if you try it now, less people will be clogging up the charging stations.
Hey guys..Hope "WALMART" soon sees the advantage of having say 6x EV Charge Stations near front door of every USA Store! It is perfect blend~ Shopper now has a hour or more to shop inside!
Do you need a dashcam for topic?
Congratulations on the new electric car , to me just put $1.00 to $3.00 plus if you give value to the customer or friendly they will tip .
Thanks, Tuan!! 😀
i rented one from maven 229 a week.......... LA needs more charging stations, why pay for parking just to charge the car, then why put these chargers in a parking structure then close it down at 10 pm.... more chargers are needed,, it takes the hollywood hills no problem... and merging is awesome.. i raced many cars,, civis bye accords bye to camry's , chevy silverado got burned, the sport button,, damn puts you back in your seat.. heated seats,, heated steering wheel...
what company is what I meant, in chicago Hertz and Enterprise will only rent to Lyft or Uber but not both
it's a new program from Maven, which is part of GM
Do you have a Periscope channel? Live is easier on there. Followers get alerts when you go live.
I don't.... I think I will stick with YT for now because I don't wanna get overwhelmed
so Bolt doesn't take gas at all? What's your strategy for keeping charge
Are more in the winter
Just rented one
I drive P/T for Lyft for fun.. to show people an EV.
Dont be greedy homie.
how well does the air conditioning work and does it rapidly decrease battery
It works great! Having AC on does decrease the range, but not much. For example, if it says my range is 215 miles and I turn on the AC, the range will then drop to about 200
Hi Mike, do you still use Maven, and is it still worth it.
So even renting from lyft you can do uber ? what about the insurance ? also is it free personal milage ?
I am actually renting direct from Maven, not Uber or Lyft. Insurance and unlimited miles included
Rideshare Genius thank you for the response , how can I rent it ?
Right now I think it's only available in San Diego and San Francisco through Maven Gig
So through Uber lease u can't drive for other platforms?
I think through the lease you can, but you have to provide your own insurance and commit to a certain length lease. With rentals, usually you can only do one platform - but this one allows multiple/.
yes that tip jar will grow becausr people don,t like to be out done, just saying
wait rental company allows both Lyft and Uber?
Yep, looks like it's live in San Diego and San Francisco now
The earnings possibility is $1 per mile! You will need to drive 246 miles to pay 💰 for the week! The Uber rates per mile is very very low at .675 CENTS per mile! With surge you can get to $1 per mile! The issue is that you are -246 every week ! A normal car 🚗 payment is $246 per month ! Why chose to pay 4x the normal rate for a car? Uber and Lyft do not guarantee a salary ! Why do drivers go into debt on behalf of the Corp ?! This is the ultimate crime against innocent people by Uber and Lyft !
+oscarmonroy27 I earn upwards of $4 per mile for lots of the driving I do. The price includes unlimited miles, unlimited charging, maintenance and insurance. If driven enough, it can be a good value. Thanks for your opinion but you have not considered all factors
Ya it works trust , I've been renting for a year and it works now with this bolt I'll save about 100 of gas a week
Is this rental thru Lyft or uber
I am renting through Maven Gig, which is a new product from GM. It's available in San Diego and San Francisco and will be coming to LA later this year. You can drive with multiple apps, but the service has some problems so I'm not ready to recommend it to others just yet. But I do love the Bolt!
Here in Sacramento they'll rip that jar off and walk out with it.
I will have remember to remove the tip jar in Sactown. lol. What if I put it in the front seat with me? 😀
what is juno?
Juno is a rideshare app that is only in New York right now. Juno was recently bought by another app called Gett. Not sure what will happen with those two apps. So Juno is only for New York City right now... I used it and it was great actually!
This could of been a 10 mins video
Over $900 a month ur fuckin wild
It's all about the value and return I get out of it...
Can you do UberSelect with Chevy Bolt?
It's not eligible in my city www.uber.com/drive/los-angeles/vehicle-requirements/
(Even though the back seat of the Bolt might be bigger and more comfortable than a BMW 3 series.)
And better ride than BMW 3 series I imagine.
So even when Bolt does not qualify for UberSelect the rental cost is not too much of burden.
The price is high, don't get me wrong, but still a better value than any other rideshare rental when considering that there's zero fuel expense.
downT02 so many drivers don't realize that the demand for select is very very low! Select pays about 1.25 per mile, Uber x drivers can earn close to that with their bonus ! Uber x normal rate is about $1 per mile ! It's not worth destroying a Mercedes or BMW for no extra pay 💰! Never get into debt for a ride share company ! It's not worth it ! Most people default on their agreements!
+oscarmonroy27 what does that have to do with this video? I don't drive select
Lyft pays more but you Uber is busier.
$246 a month, wow. That's nearly a $1000 a month expense. Not sure if I can afford that doing Ubereats/Postmates....lol
+Fred Morris it includes insurance and unlimited charging. It's been amazing to not have to spend a dime on gas over the past month. But yeah, wouldn't make sense for delivery although a used Nissan Leaf can be bought for pretty cheap now which would be great for deliver.
I'll consider looking into the Nissan Leaf. May I send you a private message via email?
Sure, there is a link in the video description with information on how to contact me
Looking at YOU sitting in the back, your not fat or exceptionally big in any way but there DOESNT SEEM to be much room for a 3rd passenger. Seems like you will have to decline 4 passengers in that box. Good luck getting 3 people in the back. My Mazda 3 has more room than that.
You might be better off just buying the car.
It's a question of commitment, but also miles, wear and tear, insurance being included, and unlimited charging makes a big difference too. If I bought it, I'd be paying at least $15 a day for fast charging because Chevy doesn't have any plan included.
Ugly car
I'm sure they'll improve the design, but functionally, it's pretty nice. And really fun to drive because it's so quick
Rideshare Genius I'll just get a model 3 when I can.
Might as well just get a Model S. The Model 3 with range is almost $60K I think. And lots of S come with unlimited charging while Model 3 does not. The truth is the Model 3 and Bolt are really not direct competitors when you look at the pricing
Rideshare Genius I would rather have the s definitely. But even at the base price of 35k you get 215 miles on a full charge. Not bad. I'm waiting for the 400 mile range to come out.
Actually 215 with a Model 3 is probably better than 240 with a Bolt because Tesla actually put their charging stations in logical places and the ones I had access to with the Bolt were not that good in terms of being able to go anywhere
