Continuing our comparison of the improved 2020 Chevy Bolt EV with its 2017 model sibling, which will be handed back from lease later this year, we head up to Maine for some cold weather range testing.
We already know from past tests – here: https://youtu.be/ITVzK2H5gRI – that the 2020 Bolt EV charges faster in cold weather, but will it also put the 2017 model in the shade when it comes to extended winter range on a single charge? Over the final days of below-freezing temperatures in early March 2020, we took both cars up to Maine and back to Massachusetts to see!
Note that these tests took place before the Mass. shelter-in-place recommendations were issued later in March. Folks were starting to work from home but travel was not restricted at this point, as it is at the time of publishing.
The route you see here will (fingers crossed) be extended by summer to form the “Mass-Maine Brewery Dash”, where we’ll head up to Allagash Brewing in Portland, ME and back down to Lordo Hobo Brewing in Woburn, MA… all in the name of seasonal range testing, of course 😉 For now, enjoy this limited winter version, stay safe, and thanks for watching.
