I have a friend who is in the market, and who loves the idea of getting a Bolt.
She test drove my Volt yesterday and we're going over the advantages and disadvantages of each.
One thing we discussed about the Bolt is that 240 miles or so of range does work for her.
But I pointed out that in the winter she would not get that much range.
I use an estimation of 60% of range when it's really cold (subzero) in somewhat not great conditions when thinking about the Volt.
Is that a reasonably good guesstimate of how the Bolt will perform in those conditions? Is the climate control any more efficient? Obviously we'll have to wait for real world experience on this but I'm guessing some of you have already thought this through and have educated opinions.
Thanks in advance!
