It has been a couple of weeks since swapping back to the summer tires / stock wheel sizes and the estimated battery range is growing. After a week of driving in moderate temperatures without needing HVAC I was up to an estimated 289 miles of range with a full charge. After a week of my wife driving and running the heater and it was back down to 240. I suspect summer range will be 300 miles or higher.
So far I’ve really liked the Bolt. My biggest complaint is the HVAC. It has a dial for temperature and a manual and auto mode. In my mind manual should just be just be a rheostat. Turn it up and the air through the vent gets warmer, turn it down and it gets cooler. If the display says 50F it should be blowing air that is 50F. If it is set to 70F the vent temp should be 70F. That is not how it works. In both manual and auto modes the computer varies vent temperature all the time. Looking at PIDs through Torque Pro the heater wattage is all over the place.
