We just picked up a white Chevy Bolt premier with fast charging, infotainment, and driver confidence packages for $33300 out the door ($29500) before taxes and fees. We absolutely love it already and it's more roomy then the BMW i3 it replaced. A few questions:

1) is there a way to get Spotify to work with Android auto?
2) can you use Android auto over Bluetooth or does it have to be plugged in?
3) the range fully charged says average range of 196mi. Is this too low? The max shows 231.

To answer #3; the range on the GOM (guess-o-meter) will vary depending on recent driving history. You will find as conditions change such as driving speed, wind, rain, snow, terrain, temperature, etc. these numbers will vary.

Very nice - can you post what dealer you got that price from?

The range on my 2019 was low when I got it too because dealers tend to start them, sit inside, drive it into the shop to be detailed and de-stickered, etc. and leave it on while they are doing those things. For me, that resulted in an energy usage of 1.8 mi/kWh when I picked it up with 16 miles on the odometer. After I had driven it and charged it once or twice, I got more than the EPA estimate. It just takes time for the guess-o-meter to register that 1.8 mi/kWh is not how you actually drive it.

Makes sense, thanks

My Chevrolet app shows lifetime miles 670 avg 2.3 mi/KWh and 105 miles avg 5.2 mi/KWh. My car had 160 test drive miles on it. Looks like it may have been at the dealer since April. My current 100% max (on charging screen if I let it charge to 100%) is at 316 miles range, big improvement from last weeks ago as the temps have dropped this week.

I do mostly highway miles, and have seen as low as 179 on a full charger, Hill Top Reserve Off.
I know everything is ok with the battery, because when I get stuck in traffic my range actually goes up.
