Cold Weather range promising

[DucRider]

Way short on actual numbers, but the reported "on track for 200 miles" looks promising. This was apparently mixed use freeway/city.

A couple of glimpses of the instrumentation reveal 2.8 m/kWh average and a 20 degree outside temp. Not great, not shabby.

Cut short when they were rear-ended :shock:

Gary, you once criticized an article that come out of the Detroit Free Press (stating the the Bolt loses $9,000 per car) as "click bait" but now link to it because they are saying the Bolt may do well in cold weather. So, as long as the DFP reports good things about the Bolt, we should accept them at face value?

Just giving you a hard time

My range has come back from the depths of despair - losing 50% of it when we were in the-15F deep freeze. Currently, it's a balmy 21F. I figure that I'm back to around 70-75% of my summer range...which would jive with the Bolt getting ~200 miles in similar temperatures. Good to know if I pick up a used Bolt sometime down the road.

Merry Christmas, my friend. I enjoy our debates. Wishing you and your family a happy New Year.

Dave.
