Bolt EV Charger P/N 85163382

[drapp]

Have any of you GM EV dealers received part number 85163382 - WITHOUT ordering it?

We were shipped one of this part number and have no idea why or who it is for. Our DMA has no idea why we received it. Packing slip is only on EPIC and it does not contain anything that would indicate what we are supposed to do with it. We have had this thing for a week now and no one has called or contacted us.

YES, we did get invoiced for the charger.

Yes, It is probably a pre-shipment for a recall for something that is in your new or used dealer inventory. However, there is no communication from GM on what the hell we're supposed to do with it. I went through all the channels I could, and came up empty handed. I'll just sit here and patiently wait for now I guess!

Same as you, we went through all the channels. DMA knows nothing of it. DPAC / SPAC knows nothing of it, except to say it was preshipped.

Just another program where the dealers are the last to know but the only ones who actually have to do it.

Wow. I just received a email from my DSM about it. before I received it. That is unusual to get info before hand. He probably read the forum and then sent it out.
Thanks Jay

Would you be willing to share that DSM email?

I talked to a couple other local dealers and all had no clue.

So I called 051 and was told their notes instruct them to tell us to call our DMA.

So I call my backup DMA cause my regular guy is on sick leave.

I send him a text message. He asks me to email him the part number and SPAC number.

I email him the Part number and explain that there's no SPAC case, GM just shipped it to me.

I'm still waiting for my answer.

If you would be willing to post whatever information you received in that email I would appreciate it. If not, I understand.

THIS IS WHAT MY DSM RECEIVED:

Hi Team,

“Chevrolet is pleased to announce initial availability of the Dual Level Charge Cord for the Bolt EV. This charge cord provides both Level 1 120V and Level 2 240V charging capability in one unit.
