I'm a new Bolt owner and it's a little bit late to ask this question, but here goes:
I plan to leave my Bolt in my uninsulated, unheated garage in upstate New York, this winter from mid-December to mid-May. The garage is attached to my house and the floor above is an insulated space that will be heated above freezing. The garage itself will likely go below freezing at times but not likely too far below freezing. The only guidance I've seen is in the manual which recommends leaving it unplugged with just a few bars (leaving the 12 v battery on trickle charge). The manual just doesn't say anything about the temperature of the storage. As I said, it's a little bit late to be thinking about this, but is anyone aware of anything to suggest that temps between 10 and 32 are harmful to the car if it is left unplugged? Any thoughts about what I should do if my storage arrangement is a problem (other than seeking out a heated storage space)? Thanks
