Decision to move to Immich on my own hardware years ago validated

Found a really nicely priced '22 Bolt EUV in great condition with only 28k miles.

I really like it. It’s well equipped in features, zippy, has over 200mi of range. It also doesn’t “look” like an EV (IMO some manufacturers seem to think EVs have to look quirky or futuristic). In that same vein it also doesn’t fall into the other EV trap where everything is touchscreen and electronic. Traditional door handles, physical buttons for climate/volume/features.

The only drawback to a Bolt is that it doesn’t have stupid-fast DC fast charging. For most people they’ll charge at home and it won’t matter. (Actually, Bolts '22 and newer can home charge quicker than many cars if you’ve got the setup) But if you’re going on a road trip it could mean getting there slower. Takes about 45-50 minutes to charge. If you’re going 500 miles that’s not too bad, one stop for lunch and you’re set. If you’re going 5000 miles with any regularity, well it could be a deal breaker. If you need that look at some models like the Ioniq 5 which can charge in under 20min.

Man oh man I think I really lucked out trading in the ol’ gas car for an EV this week.

Yeah well it probably is still better than not doing it

Best advice is avoid law enforcement altogether whenever possible

They have confirmed that you can unlock the bootloader, and are claiming 5 years of updates.

They have shipped hardware before and seem like a somewhat reputable company. They haven’t made a phone before though so we shall see.
