Congrats. Let us know how it works out for you.

Thanks for sharing and good information for those who are under the mistaken impression a lease contract is not negotiable. jack vines Just to clarify, Jack: I did have to pay all remaining payments at full price and early, too.

Do you drive in a similarly cold climate as New Jersey as the OP does?

I didn’t respond because my experiences in Los Angeles are just not relevant.

Yes. And the OP states he will not use climate control if necessary.

in my experience, yes, it will work. I get around 4 miles/kWh if I drive 65 with no heat or A/C. Increase the speed to 70 and use heat, you'll get around 3. With a 66kWh battery on the 2020 Bolt, you'll get 198 mile range at 3 miles/kWh. So, no worries! You'll need an L2 charger at home, though . So...

I'm bemused by EA having two CCS cables despite only one being usable at a time - sticking it to CHAdeMO? Surely, not pandering to those who don't move their cars as soon as they finish charging? :roll: I've read that the cords on the EA chargers are short and having two per station would allow cha...

Thanks for posting. Link works now.

I don't know about the Bolt, but Tesla batteries must be a certain temp for regen to "work". If you've driven your car for 35K miles, I assume it's been cold before, but apparently you haven't had this condition before. I also assume you know that regen doesn't work if the battery is full....

I guess you understand cold weather and use of the heater really reduce range, as well as driving speed. What is your average miles/kWh (shown on the "dash" behind the steering wheel) ? You can do a rough calculation by multiplying your miles/kWh by 60 (the battery capacity) to get total r...

Chevy Bolt with Premium trim has heated rear seats. I think the Tesla model 3 does as well but I didn't search for it.

Thanks for the link. It looks like 2.6% of all cars sold in the US were EV's (Sept data)
