Well, according to ChatGPT, up to 25% of US EV owners tap the power, and value, of home solar to fill up their cars with at least some electrons coming directly, or, in the case of solar offset, indirectly from the sun. More on this from ChatGPT itself ==\> “About 25% of electric vehicle (EV)… ## [Hyundai Ioniq 5 performs well in first road trip](https://solarchargeddriving.com/2025/08/05/hyundai-ioniq-5-performs-well-in-first-road-trip/) _2025-08-05 · Christof Demont-Heinrich · SolarChargedDriving.Com_ One of the main reasons I switched from my 2020 Chevy Bolt, which started experiencing serious and anxiety provoking range meter issues in February 2025 that I had never before experienced in 5.5 years with that car, was because I did not trust it enough to take it on road trips anymore. I wanted an EV with a reliable range meter that did not add phantom miles and shed those miles so quickly that… ## [Comparing the Hyundai Ioniq 5 to the Chevy Bolt](https://solarchargeddriving.com/2025/07/28/comparing-the-hyundai-ioniq-5-to-the-chevy-bolt/) _2025-07-28 · Christof Demont-Heinrich · SolarChargedDriving.Com_ I wrote recently that I traded my 2020 Chevy Bolt in to lease a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5. I traded EVs because of frustration I had with extreme issues with the Bolt’s range meter, problems that popped up out of nowhere. I also did so because I feared that it might be my last chance to get into an EV lease I could afford thanks to the Big Beautiful (A-hole) Bill axing the Federal tax credit for EVs. I… ## [Goodbye Chevy Bolt, hello Hyundai Ioniq 5](https://solarchargeddriving.com/2025/07/24/goodbye-chevy-bolt-hello-hyundai-ioniq-5/) _2025-07-24 · Christof Demont-Heinrich · SolarChargedDriving.Com_ I replaced my 2020 Chevy Bolt, which I had been driving for 5.5 years, with a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL yesterday (July 23, 2025) that I leased from McDonald Hyundai in Highlands Ranch, Colo. I’d been thinking about replacing my Bolt for awhile, primarily because, in my view, it was having range meter issues. I brought my Bolt to John Elway Chevrolet and to Ed Bozarth Park Meadows Chevrolet across… ## [Spastic Chevy Bolt range meter dropping miles like a rock off Long’s Peak](https://solarchargeddriving.com/2025/05/15/spastic-chevy-bolt-range-meter-dropping-miles-like-a-rock-off-longs-peak/) _2025-05-15 · Christof Demont-Heinrich · SolarChargedDriving.Com_ I’ve been experiencing major range meter problems on my 2020 Bolt for the last three to four months. Two Chevy dealerships — John Elway and Ed Bozarth here in Colorado — have claimed nothing is wrong. But something is definitely wrong. I want to say that the heat and AC are never on for what I explain below and that I have driven EV ONLY for 10 years and 140,000 miles, so I understand hills,…
