Article I read today indicates there is about a 40% drop in distance at 40 degrees or below and below 20 degrees it may be more. For distance driving buy a plug in electric blanket to avoid using heater as much as possible. You can also heat up the car while it is still charging to start with a...

I have a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt and love it. I have done round trips from the eastern panhandle of West Virginia as far north as Carlisle and as far east as Baltimore without difficulty. I drive it to Morgantown West Virginia and charge up there before returning. It really does everything I need. I...

I was wondering the same thing. My friends call the estimate mechanism the “guess-o-meter”. I fluctuates as I Turn on the heater or turn it off, or as speeds increase significantly. If it is cold when I start after the battery warms and my driving is moderate, between 25 and say 45, it will...

Same here. December 16 and temp is about 35. Charge at 80% was only 140 this day. At 100% I assume it would be about 170 miles as opposed to my normal warm weather mileage of around 260. That is a huge drop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Follow up. Recently seeing my range reduced by half in lower 30’s temp. Anyone else? Of course, I am normally charging to 80% which is recommended. If I am taking a trip charge to 100% but using the Destiination charged so that it is not left out 100% for very long at all before I leave. Sent...

My cousin, who owns a Bolt, warned me that cold weather reduces your range. So far we are in the 30s and I can see a difference. Whether that will hinge upon my drives to Morgantown West Virginia I will have to find out. The biggest and best news is that the region on the downhill side in the...

Hi. I have driven my Bolt 150 miles to Morgantown West Virginia and it did very well in warmer weather without charging. Not sure how the cold weather will affect it. I’ve also driven from Martinsburg West Virginia to Baltimore and back without charging and that worked. I would think that 177...

Summer has passed and with my 2019 bought LT I have not noticed any issue like you mentioned. Are you charging normally to 80% or up to 100%? They suggested protocol is to charge to 80% unless you were going to leave within the next six hours in which case you can charge 100% and then drive your...

Having a Volt since 2014, Bolt is a wonderful step to EV but still love the Volt. Bolt does what I need and meets the garbage can test bringing them up my lane when necessary after pickup. Drives well and sound system is excellent. Charging with Juice Box 40 Pro. Easily drives over mountains 150...
