New Bolt guy here!
Pretty excited about my new Bolt. Thought I would share this with others...
My home is 12 miles away from work. I work in downtown Denver but live in the suburbs. My commute must be mostly downhill because when I leave for work I am gaining 5-6 miles in range by the time I arrive at work. I do drive in the "L" mode and I do not speed or accelerate fast. I certainly do not "hyper mile" drive.
My commute home shows consistently that I have used about 15 total miles. So minus the 5 or 6 I gain I am only using about 10 total for my daily commute!
So I won't need to charge much during the week and can probably get away with charging on the weekends. Which is a good thing because my house needs an upgraded electrical box in order to install a Level 2 charger. Which was a bit of a bummer for me.
Of course in the very cold winter days it will be different as I will need to use the heater a lot. But even then it will be no more than 30 or 40 miles total.
Very happy so far.
