Hi all
I'm new here and this is my first post.
I bought a used 2014 Volt in June and imported it to Iceland, Europe. When I got it the EV range was around 40 miles. In the beginning of October the range started to gradually degrade and is now 26 miles. Has anyone experienced something like this? Can I somehow check the battery cell status myself? Since it's imported from the US I'm not sure the local dealer is willing to help. The car is kept inside overnight so it's not because of the colder weather.

Also low tire pressure or especially new tires will take a bite out of range. But yes, if it's very cold you will notice.

We have seen either very few or zero problems with the battery. Relates systems yes, but not the battery cells per se.
