Bolt has 230 mile range.
How about in Canada ........ in winter?
Have heard estimates of 30% reduction in Winter.
So 161 miles or 259 km.
A little to close for comfort for us. We often do a 250 km commute up to cottage country, even in the winter. Not a lot of charging stations along our route, and anyway don't want to wait around in some shopping mall in freezing weather for the thing to charge up.
The Volt (plug-in hybrid) would be a better choice for us and is cheaper than the Bolt cause of the smaller battery. But it lacks the mechanical simplicity of an all-electric.
I Know I was just pointing that out to the warm weather drivers ,heat air condition cost miles ,and if the market is only southern states they will be nich product and expensive.
