The Chevy Bolt is a perfect electric car for buyers wanting to buy their first affordable BEV. It's an intriguing model with excellent efficiency, modern technology, and an impressive driving range. Plus, its visual styling makes it more appealing and popular.
Owners of this American hot hatch praise its range, performance, and value for the money. Yet, in a frigid environment or even in mildly cold weather, the battery's performance deteriorates drastically. It’s so sensitive to outside temperatures that in freezing conditions, the operating range falls by a remarkable 32%. Moreover, its thermal management system won't activate when the car is off, only reheating it when the vehicle is on.
