Just read another one. 10 - 40% seems like a wide spread. Is this based on driving style and conditions?

t's also worth noting that GM says it expects battery degradation of 10 to 40 percent during the warranty period of 8 years or 100,000 miles.
That's according to the warranty information on page 323 of the 361-page document.

The manual also indicates that the Bolt EV will accept a charge rate of at least 80 kilowatts for DC fast-charging, notes Inside EVs.

GM previously described the Bolt EV DC fast-charging system—which uses the CCS protocol—as adding 90 miles of range in 30 minutes.

A Bolt, driven moderately, not left at full charge or almost no charge for long periods of time, in a moderate climate, and L2 charged will likely have little loss. A Bolt, driven like stolen, parked with 100% or 2% charge for weeks in the heat, in Death Valley, CA, and only DCQC will have a lot more loss.

2 time spread is likely just do to climate, even with a fairly aggressive battery temperature management system. Another 2 times for driving and charge management. Yes, this seems reasonable.
