The Chevrolet Bolt EV: it’s possible to drive “green” during the winter

Even very eco-friendly drivers cannot escape the last (serious) prejudice that affects hybrid and electric vehicles: are they interesting options for the winter? If this is the last doubt that keeps you from embracing the green trend, be at ease and go at once to Christin Chevrolet, your Chevrolet car dealer from Montreal, near Laval and Repentigny: your Chevrolet Bolt EV is waiting for you.

Cars of the future and prejudices

Hybrid and electric vehicles have more sceptics than believers, as this point. Among those who are on the fence, there are purists that simply can’t imagine life without cars powered by fossil fuels, people with budgets too tight to join the ranks of the early adopters and those who are open to hybrid and electric vehicles but still can’t shake some biases: what is the real lifetime of electric batteries? Is their autonomy decreasing with time? Will my hybrid/electric car be useable during the winter, or will this battery always be flat because of the cold temperature? Christin Chevrolet sells the Chevrolet Bolt EV precisely because of this: its battery autonomy has already been tested last winter, in February, by a well-known car expert specialized in green vehicles. These are his conclusions.

YES, the Chevrolet Bolt is adequate for the winter

The test in question took place this year, in February, with a virtually-new unit coming straight from the dealer with a fully charged battery. These are the relevant parameters: during the test, the temperature was always between -11 and 2 Celsius degrees; a third of the distance travelled was on the highway; the driver didn’t hesitate to use the main heating as well as the ones for his seat and the driving wheel; he didn’t use any “trick” to try to lower his energy consumption (like following closely a big truck, for example); while driving in the city, the tester naturally encountered some occasional traffic. That being said, our pioneer reports some incredible news: the autonomy announced on the car display was less than 380 kilometers at the beginning of the test… yet he managed to get almost 415 kilometers out of the battery before it became completely depleted. Sceptics can rest assured that unless they travel unusual distances, a single charge of the Chevrolet Bolt EV should be able to last them a full week in winter.

Now that the last reasonable doubt has been addressed, go at once to Christin Chevrolet, your Chevrolet car dealer from Montreal, near Laval and Repentigny, to get the key of your new Chevrolet Bolt before the winter really starts!
