I have a 2015 Volt. I use to get about 44 miles per charge, but I use to live in a warm climate. I've since moved to Portland, OR. I park it inside the garage & always keep it plugged in even after full. The temperature has been regularly in the mid to upper 30's at night & mid to upper 40's in the day. My range has been dropping regularly this past month & now the range is at 28 miles. The dealer is saying it's a normal drop due to cold. Is it normal to loose 16+ miles of range even with above freezing temps, kept in garage & kept plugged in?

The short answer is yes, that is normal. Make sure to use the preconditioning 10 to 15 minutes before you depart, see if that helps.

Yes. I go from a displayed 63+ miles in the summer to around 45 miles in the winter. Mine also is garaged and plugged in 100% of the time. I'm in Nashville, Tennessee.

That’s what I am getting here in Vancouver, Wa. I do use the heater in Eco mode and don’t really care about the range. It’s always bad here in the PNW. I get 40 at best in the summer

What air pressure do you have in your tires?

What air pressure do you have in your tires?

I run 41 psi all around but I do like sport mode and drive in L. The Volt is amazing fun but you pay for that in range.

100% normal. The usual suggestions:

• precondition before leaving
• air up tires to 40-44psi
• use fan only, turn the heat down
• drive slower

Or, just enjoy the car and don't worry what the guess-o-meter says.
