This may seem silly, but I am a little confused by all the changing guidelines coming from GM: I own a 2020 Bolt. No software updates or battery availble yet. I'm flying out for a weeklong trip somewhere warm this January to escape the frozen northeast. My mother's atached garage is availble to...

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...
