It’s been a week since I started driving Chevy Bolt...I love this car and pleasure driving around. But one thing am not able to understand is this “Range Impact Since Last Full Charge”. I did the full charge yesterday and total miles driven is 405miles. And here are the details

Technique: -25.4
Terrain: -15.3
Climate S ettings: -47.1
Outside Temp:-2.1
Miles:-89.9

what I need to do to improve the overall miles. I have started mostly driving in L and mostly city driving around 30miles a day.

While it's difficult to improve on the Terrain and Outside Temperature, your biggest gain will be from Technique.

Speed is the killer of range, since wind resistance varies with the square of the velocity. Try to keep it under 60 mpg, if safe to do so.

No hole-shot starts, and anticipate slow-downs/stops by easing your foot of the go pedal well in advance (watching the rear view mirror to avoid getting rear-ended!). Try never to use the friction brakes except for emergencies; if you've miscalculated the stopping distance, add the steering wheel paddle for more regenerative braking.

Since your climate settings are maxed out to the downside, try turning the heat/AC button off, letting the system bring in fresh air. or simply recirculate the air in the car.
Instead, use the seat heater to keep warm, along with warm clothes if necessary. The heater uses MUCH more kW than the AC does.

Do the above and post a new image!

I noticed you've already turned off your heat and AC in the photo, so keep it that way if you can.

Also your miles per kWh figure is 3.22.
Bolt default when you reset on the steering wheel is 3.9.
I routinely get 4.3, so you have lots of room for improvement.

Sure will try these for a week and post again.
But shouldn't the settings auto reset now that the full charge has been done? otherwise the readings will keep carrying forward rt

Some people want to have an average over several charges, or sometimes a lifetime average. So no, it doesn't automatically reset.

The settings will reset when it receives a "full charge". You can set that in your charge options. 80-90% is a good target for maximizing battery life. I avoid 100%.
