Have you been using the heater more now compared to before? Or driving faster on the freeway? Or now have a roof rack? Also, check the air pressure in your tires. Fall season means that tire air pressures fall with when temperatures fall. Underinflated tires have more rolling resistance...

It does not seem to have a way to choose an electricity cost or EV efficiency.

If your recent driving has been less economical (e.g. heater use, higher highway speed, roof rack), then the predicted range will be lower for the same level of charge (hill reserve mode fills it to 87-90%).

Both Michelin and Tire Rack web sites list two different variants of the Michelin Energy Saver in 215/50R17 91H. The Michelin part numbers are 11674 and 33539. The 33539 is listed as TPC on Michelin's web site. Tire Rack's web site indicates that the TPC spec tire is the OEM tire for the...

Perhaps that 110V outlet should be placed near electric motorcycle parking. A Zero S or SR electric motorcycle appears to be able to get about 9 miles of highway or 18 miles of city range per hour of charging on 110V, according to http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/zero-s/ . So that 110V outlet...

Check that your MyChevrolet / OnStar account that the app is trying to login to works (with a web browser).

There is a bug in the current version of the MyChevrolet app where it shows much worse efficiency than actual (even if accounting for charging losses). If you have only been getting 1.0 miles per kWh, your actual range would be around 60 miles. However, driving 70-75 mph will result in reduced...

https://www.onstar.com/us/en/plans-pricing.html shows all of the OnStar plans. The free-for-5-years Basic plan (default if you do not buy any other plan after the 3-month trial of Guidance ends) gives Advanced Diagnostics, Smart Driver, Remote Access (where you can see charge level and a few...

The MyChevrolet app can get battery status and other information from the car even when you just have OnStar Basic (the free for 5 years plan) without any extra cost data plan. In terms of range, it depends on how you drive. Higher highway speeds, using the heater, and carrying stuff on a roof...

Probably the Passive Door Lock setting described on page 145 of the owner's manual at https://my.chevrolet.com/content/dam/gmownercenter/gmna/dynamic/manuals/2017/Chevrolet/BOLT%20EV/Owner%27s%20Manual.pdf (see page 142 for how to get to that setting).

You may want to check that the MyChevrolet account that the app is trying is still working (from a web browser).

The tire shown in that link is supposed to be the Chevrolet Bolt OEM tire. Tire Rack does list three different Michelin Energy Saver tires in 215/50R17, one generic (90V load/speed rating), one that is the Chevrolet Volt OEM tire (91H), and one that is the Chevrolet Bolt OEM tire (91H)...

Perhaps this was installed on the car? https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/2017/Chevrolet/Bolt%20EV/front-and-rear-bowtie-emblems-in-black-42475530?categoryId=12001

https://insideevs.com/quiet-car-rule-new-evs-must-emit-warning-sounds-us-2019/ describes the regulation. New EVs and hybrids starting September 1, 2019 need to give pedestrian warning noise at speeds under 30 km/h (18.6 mph).

Have you checked if the other cameras (e.g. the front camera on the bumper) are clean?

One other variable with cold weather consumption is how much cabin heat one uses.

What I would like to see from ChargePoint are 50 kW DCFC stations along highways between metro areas, in order to make road trip use more convenient. On some highways, most of the ChargePoint DCFC stations are 24 kW. On a road trip, 50 kW charging gives a 3-to-1 ratio of driving-to-charging...

However, the phones for AT&T / T-Mobile use (with SIM cards) and Verizon / Sprint use (without SIM cards) are still different (even beyond network locking and carrier-specific apps).

The YG could go to a museum and see what old cars were like.

One of them is probably a Buick version of the Bolt: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1111816_all-electric-buick-small-suv-to-be-based-on-bolt-ev-report
