New Bolt Owner

[Bobg1726]

I bought a 2018 Bolt LT at the end of January. It's a Kinetic Blue, one owner with 25K. It's a base model and that's fine with me. I bought it to commute to work and it has been perfect. My commute is 90 miles/day, and I need to recharge when I get home. I live in Pennsylvania, and I think the cold temps are hurting the range.
I'm hoping with spring and summer coming soon it will be better. Nevertheless, I love the car.
Looking forward to learning all I can about the Chevy Bolts and anticipating the coming of the 2026 model.
Thanks,
Bobg1726.

Not sure about the cold weather hurting your range, but I do know that running the heater reduces the range by almost 20%. I have a 2020 Bolt and I lose significant range while running the heater and the AC.

The cold environment does impact the charging and the available stored battery level.
