You lift off the gas\*, and the car will come to a nearly complete stop without you ever touching the brake. One-pedal driving is by far my favorite feature of the Bolt. That, combined with the hand-brake on the steering wheel (which increases how much kinetic energy the motor converts into electrical energy) I hardly need to use the friction brakes on the wheels. Hopefully that means fewer brake-jobs in the future. > [@Bayard](#): > > I have no real complaints about my Bolt. The center dash display – where the radio, climate controls, etc., are – has had a few glitches. For example, one day the display just didn’t come on when I started the car. Another time, the camera wouldn’t turn off, so I had to drive for a while with the camera displayed instead of the instruments. There have been a few things like that, but they all resolved after restarting the car. Similar issues for me. Sometimes (maybe once every other month) the center console doesn’t “boot” up. Restarting the car doesn’t help, but time does–driving down the road it’ll suddenly “boot”. Annoying but doesn’t prevent getting someplace. The only real problem I’ve had is a nail in a tire. When it happened the stock tires were unavailable. As in “there’s none anywhere in southern California”. (My service guy was actually swearing on the phone at Chevy corporate.) The choices were buy four new non-stock tires (because the non-stock have different radiuses than stock), or wait for a stock tire to be shipped for afar. By the way, there is no spare tire in a Bolt. But, the tires are “run-flat”. So I bought a 12V air compressor and reinflated the tire before driving anywhere. :smack: Eventually the dealership found a tire for me, and actually gave it to me gratis. That was back in the spring when there were only a few thousand Bolts on the road, so presumably Chevy has their service supply chain operational by now. Anyhow, it may be wise to invest in a 12V compressor for emergencies. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-electric-car-thread/803634)._
