Even having owned my 2017 Bolt for only 9 days, my 350 mile trip home taught me a lot. I was "flying solo" and learned the effect of highway speed and A/C on my achieved range. In 4 weeks I have a trip planned of 220 miles with two passengers (three people). How much loss of range will I notice from having 480 pounds on board instead of 180?
I plan to be fully charged (indicates 256 expected, 299 maximum [never possible in WV], drive ~60 mph on the Interstate (135 of the 220 miles), and use minimal A/C. I have the usual WV rolling ups and downs and ONE "mountain" range (2800 feet) to cross. I plan to charge (@30 amp) during a one hour lunch stop (adding ~24 miles). Thoughts on needing another re-charge stop?
As always, thank you to my learned compatriots!
