After an unusual total battery failure (no fire) had the battery pack replaced by GM (not part of the recall program, but they hustled up a replacement as we were now totally without a car, not just driving with a restricted battery pack). After driving for three weeks around town and a few short road trips recharged last night. Today had 490 km (303 miles) on the average expected range. With my driving techniques I have been averaging 13.2 km/100 KW or for our neighbours south of the border, 4.7 mi/KW. No range anxiety here.

I missed the Ferry there by 3 minutes years ago and have kicked myself in the butt ever since! We did get to ride the train to whistler to ski Im looking forward to more range in my 2017 but the longer it takes for the new battery ....the newer my new main battery will be down the road....when its finally installed. Victoria must be amazing in Early April! I charge quick charge DC only but who cares now with a new battery someday. I absolutely love this car and have been all EV since I leased a Spark EV in 2015

You mean 4.7 miles per kWh? Energy is measured in kWh.

Not sure what "13.2 km/100 KW" refers to. If you could only travel 13.2 km on 100 kWh of energy, that is horrific. Bolt only has 60 or 66 kWh batteries.

13.2KWH/100Km is 4.7mi/KWh
I haven’t got that since last summer so sounds right @Bob Cuthill

How do you get 13.2KW/100km? Anyway, that’s great!
Me and the wife never get less than 25KW/100KM here in Toronto. But it is starting to warm up a bit.
We also do not take it easy with our cars and have the heat set to 22C, drive with Winter Tires on, do lots of jack rabbit starts because they are satisfying, and spend lots of time on the highway going “fast” like everyone else. LOL
Life is good!

Kilowatt-hours Per 100 Kilometers to Miles Per Kilowatt-hour Conversion

Convert kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers to miles per kilowatt-hour (kWh/100km to mi/kWh) with the electric car efficiency conversion calculator, and learn the calculation formula.

some reach for extreme efficiency and some want to be comfortable and quite a few “just want to have fuh un”
I go back and forth but it’s hard to get under 24 on the Gardener and Lakeshore parking lots. 😜😜🤣🤣

In the summer I usually get somewhere in the range of 11 to 12kWh/100 km while driving locally around Vancouver but that can go up to 20 to 30kWh/100km in the winter if I'm using heat. On road trips out on the highways it's usually closer to the EPA rated efficiency of around 16 kWh/100km, or more if I'm going over the mountain passes.

My 17 bolt used to do 4.9 to 5 all summer, I was and am not a fan of air conditioning, if you want a better score shut the climate control to off when you can.

Not sure if it was my dyslexia or dementia that had me confused but it looks like I transposed my km and kWh. It should read 13.2 kWh/100km. So the battery in our car would give about 470 km range (almost 300 miles) with careful driving technique. Sorry about the confusion

Energy is measured in kWh, not "KW".

 

[Bob Cuthill]

Not sure if you were responding to my latest or to "Goose's" comment on my post where I mixed my kWh and km. Here in Canada we measure distance in km - kilometers. Your comment on my using kilowatts vice kilowatt hours was understood the first time - no need to repeat. Let's move on.

I was responding to Goose hence the reason they were quoted.
