Hi Folks,
My 260 mile $30K Chevy Bolt 2020 range dropped to 210 this year. I normally charge to 80% for local trips (although that tidbit is missing from the manual/display unlike the Leaf & Tesla). When I charge to 100% last month it was still about 260 miles, now this week it dropped to 210 miles. I read that there were some battery issues at 100% (maybe because they didn't tell folks to charge to 80% for local use). The battery was advertised as 64KWH although it's stamped underneath at 62KWH but now behaving like a 50KWH or 80% battery pack. I wonder if the Mother Ship downloaded a 80% operation through OnStar that it has (but I didn't pay for)? Has anyone had this happened on their Bolt. I was going to buy a cheaper 210 mile Leaf, but bought the Bolt for the longer range, oops - now the same as the cheaper Leaf. The Tesla Y at the same 21K miles is still doing 325 miles range and charges *much* faster (up to 200KW pre-cooling the pack), more fast charging stations through the easy to use GPS. Have a renewable energy day, Mark Mark E.
