Hi, I'm excited to join this forum, having purchased my 2017 Volt in February last year!
I haven't had this car in cold temperatures before (last winter was mild) but when we got the latest cold snap here in Ohio, I noticed that my mileage rating for the battery went down significantly in just a few days. I was getting 50-62 miles just on the battery, but once it got cold I was down to only 35. I realize that the ICE runs first thing on a cold morning, and it will kick in from time to time, but the drop is much more severe than I had expected.
Anything you can think that I might be doing wrong to cause such a drop?
Thanks!
Daryl
