    The detailed remarks of owners in this forum are very impressive. To us, the extra 3โ€ of leg room in the Bolt EUV made it a no brainer - though agreed, there was a small compromise in performance compared to the EV. The leather package just made everything more comfortable. The FWD works great...

    We are going on a trip soon. I plan to charge to 100% before leaving for the airport and then parking at the airport once I get there. If there is just sitting for several days, what happens to the battery/range? This is relevant to this trip but also will be relevant when I take the car in for...

    Hi: returned home from a short trip. Housesitter had lots of fun using "Arrosto", my 2020 LT. When I first drove it earlier this week, the estimated range top was 390! What a great housesitter! Comments, insights? Portland of the NW

    I got my '23 EUV last October so I'm used to cold weather efficiencies of <3 mi/kWh running the window defrosters at full blast, etc. I took a 212-mile trip last week, 65 miles on the freeway at 80 mph and the rest was mixed highway and neighborhood miles. Beautiful weather, light AC. Got back...

    Just completed an 830-mile round trip from Indianapolis to various Michigan cities and back, which has greatly boosted my confidence in the Bolt's range and the fast charger build-out. I should say this was my third trip on significant stretches of I-69, with a few long stretches of state and...

Most of my driving was done in city type driving,, but have to say about 15% - 20% was at hwy speeds and was...

    Take the time to practice One Pedal Driving and you get this. Totally pumped. Delaware roads. Flattest state in the nation :)

    I bought a 2022 Bolt LT with the max miles of 259. After 6400 miles the car performed its first battery conditioning during a charge cycle and a gained 23 miles! My new maximum range is 282 miles. I average 4.5 miles per KW. I drive to and from work which is 5 miles at 35mph and 12 miles at...

    Just took ownership of my 2023 EUV on 12/15. No problems but just a possible early cause for concern. The cold temps in the Midwest have taken the 100% range from 244 miles when I picked it up to 208 miles as of today. Weโ€™ve experienced wind chills as low as -35 so Iโ€™ll likely chalk it up to...

    Hi everyone! My name is Ryan, I've had my 2017 Premier for about 2 years. I am working on a project with Out of Spec Reviews (https://www.youtube.com/c/OutofSpecReviews), we want to compare the range between a Bolt that received the recall battery replacement and one that has not. We're looking...

    Hello all - I've postponed several hiking trips to the Sierras for lack of charging stations enroute. But it looks like the situation is improving and I'm planning to drive my 2019 Bolt (w/battery replacement) 325 miles from LA to Mammoth later this week. Given our heat, will need to put on the...

    Attached is a photo of the instrument display of our 2019 Chevy Bolt. At the time that Chevrolet replaced the battery under its recall, the vehicle had been driven 28,500 miles. The car now has been driven 2,150 miles on the new battery pack, so has had numerous discharge/recharge cycles. The...

    I have a 2021 Bolt. I am a hiker and backpacker that loves the Eastern Sierra Nevada; however I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. This means there are mountains to be crossed. I have done some tests to measure the impact of elevation on range. The challenge is the number of variables...

    I have been a member only a short time, but am impressed with this forum. Looked for data on this topic, but did not find any so I thought I would post. I could really use some help or feedback on my November Swap EUV delivering strange range. When I picked up the car, it had 3 miles on it...

    This is coming from an old 2017 French article but I did not find it on the Forum and I think it provides an interesting data point that nobody would have enough patience to reproduce. Journalists from Caradisiac drove an 2017 Ampera-e (Bolt EU equivalent) from 100% to 0% SOC on the Parisian...
  16. ๐Ÿ”‹ Charging and Batteries
    I felt like seeing how many kWh I could use before absolutely needing to charge. here are the results: I ended up traveling 256.2 miles and used 61.8 kWh. Using an EngineLink I could see I had (rounding) 2 percent battery life left. Assuming I started with 66 kWh, useable. ( I bought the car...

    Hi All, Has any 2017 LT owner observed this -- loss of range as weather warms up? Our 2017 LT has the recall update. It has a mileage of around 39,000. Through out winter, rain, and cold in California, GOM consistently shows 230's miles in range with an efficiency of 4.5 mi/kWh at "full...

    Hi all - My husband bought a used 2017 Chevy Bolt the other day and when we picked it up today, we asked them to have it fully charged. I got in and the GOM (Guess-o-meter) said 78 miles. We kinda freaked out. When he bought it, they told him that it wasnโ€™t fully charged and that number would go...

    Hi everyone, I just purchased a used 2017 Bolt Premier with 50k kms (31k miles) on it, and am struggling a bit with the winter range. I have a long, fast highway commute in the frozen arctic tundra that is Canada, and I know these factors aren't ideal. My trip is 95km each way (59 miles), with...

    Hi All, we were excited to get our first EV but unfortunately in our first day discovered that a full charge displayed a range of 139mi. This seems well below expected even with the battery recall applied with 10% reduced charge. Is this expected? Considering returning car to investigate as...
