Looking at the recent article it also states number of cycles with each charge level. If we consider that the apparent inconsistencies in GM's recommendations are probably intended as CYA statements crafted by the legal department, then it is our job as Bolt owners to refer to the best studies/recommendations from other sources to supplement what GM is or isn't really telling us. All rights reserved. 2018 Tesla Model 3 More is better here. Don’t believe that GM treats what your see 90% as the battery’s true 90%. I secured the used Volt for my younger brother but not without some basic testing and comparison to my own 2012 Volt with one fourth the miles.

Warranties often cover unlikely situations.

I've driven it for approximately 19600 miles thus far. My version of the Chevy Bolt EV has a feature called "Hilltop Reserve," which prevents the battery from charging to full (the car ends the charging session when the battery reaches 88%). I have yet to notice any degradation in my battery but then, it’s only 3 years, 43k miles.

Like the engines in conventional vehicles, the advanced batteries in EVs are designed for a long life but will wear out eventually. Price is $14,995.

However, the other reason for not charging an EV battery to full is that a majority of battery wear occurs when the battery is filled to 100% or drained to 0%, and after my 70,000-mile update, I started using Hilltop Reserve far more often. The bottom line here is that if it’s properly cared for, an electric car’s battery pack should last for well in excess of 100,000 miles before its range becomes restricted. The battery is covered by a 8 years/100,000 miles warranty in event of failure.

90,000 to 100,000 Miles: 55 kWh. Then he dives into the history of the passively cooled Nissan Leaf batteries, though he doesn't delve into the specific history around capacity loss in some pre-2015 Leaf packs. Though degradation occurs in all batteries, it happens at a lesser rate when the charge is limited and  thermal conditions are managed. Kelly's summary concludes Chevrolet's thermal management of its batteries is "far superior" to that provided by Nissan in the Leaf, both the previous generation and the new 2018 version. Who is that unlucky Bolt driver? And it would be running much dirtier than when it was new. If you own an electric car and find that you’re not getting anywhere near the estimated range, that doesn’t necessarily mean the car’s battery pack is becoming seriously depleted. No back... © 2020 MYEV.

I have driven my 2017 Chevy Volt for 90,000 miles with 87,500 electric miles. Good to see that GM batteries are holding up (unlike Nissan's).

And that's just in my garage.

The Bolt manual basically states you should keep your car fully charged whenever possible. Nice data ! Looking forward, Tesla says it’s working on technology that would enable its electric car batteries to last for as many as one million miles, which is likely more than the rest of the car might hold up. "As we have seen with the more than 100,000 Volts on the road, our battery packs maintain their range and capacity very well over the life of the vehicle with minimal and varying levels of degradation. Any ICE car with 105,000 will have lost at least 5% range as well. The author noted the temps while charging but the biggest difference I see is with the temps while driving.

If you have ever seen the movie "Black Beauty," there is also no telling how hard this horse has been ridden. According to General Motors, only one of those Bolts needed its battery pack replaced not once, but two times. It's one of several electric-car videos he's done, including a recent pair on the removal and disassembly of the Chevrolet Bolt EV lithium-ion battery pack. Electric vehicle battery lifespan. Nearly 43,000 Chevy Bolt electric cars have been sold in the United States.

Your Bolt will be sitting at work all day all summer. This has been a question for some time in the EV community. Less stress, in your life is always a good thing in old age specially. . The former was never an issue, and with the ever improving public charging infrastructure, the latter isn’t really an issue either. EV battery packs generally contain a series of connected individual cells, perhaps several hundred of them depending on the model, instead of a single massive unit. For example, according to data compiled by the organization Plug In America, the battery pack in a Tesla Model S will only lose around five percent of its original capacity over the first 50,000 miles, with the rate of depletion actually slowing down from there.

That advice includes not storing the car in hot environments, and not recharging the battery right after the car is used—which may be a surprise to owners who come home, plug in the car, and forget about it until the next morning. I trekked out to GM's battery-testing facility at its Warren, Michigan campus earlier this year, and talked to engineers who've been working on the Bolt EV's battery pack. it really is the closet thing to a peoples all electric car. Importantly, extreme temperatures, especially bitter cold, can hamper both a battery’s performance and its ability to accept a charge. The battery thermal management is designed to work whether or not the car is plugged-in. By 100,000 miles, the data appeared to verify that the 8% battery degradation I measured at 70,000 miles was, in fact, an inflated figure. The INL tested two pairs of identical 2012 Nissan Leaf models, with one set using 240-volt Level 2 home charging and the other exclusively relying on DC Fast Charging public units. But the battery's maximum charge is not 140 miles only....I think by the time it get to 100K, I have to replace them??

Apologies Dumb question: when GM says "plugged in" do they mean with charging actually enabled or just plugged in? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that somewhere over 25% of the battery capacity is gone (the car would regularly show 12 kwh plus (12.4 would be high) discharged before generator took over, and on recharging using a 220 volt charger at home, 13+ kwh would go in to fully recharge a battery (I kept track for years until about two years ago when Blink stop provided charging data). I took the Volt out on an easy drive averaging 48 mph. Linear Decline in Available Energy Right now, at 105,000 miles, I just logged another measurement on my Bolt EV that resulted in ~56.9 kWh of measured capacity, but the average measurement for the last 5,000 miles is about 55 kWh of available energy. My point is this. Rather than starting with 60 kWh of available energy, I would need to start with 58 kWh. GM relies on something they call Document ID: 5406682 to assert that the minimum warranted battery capacity is 33.6 Amp/hrs, and according to them, all the cells of my car tested at 3.98 volts and the battery at 37.8 Amp/hrs. For example, a new battery pack for a Chevrolet Bolt EV is reportedly priced well in excess of $15,000, and that’s not including the cost of labor. That’s far less of an issue with today’s longer-range models that are typically driven for a fraction of their available capacity on a daily basis and are merely “topped off” at night. That’s counter-intuitive for many people as it’s the opposite of how a gas-engine car works, which uses less fuel while cruising at highway speeds than in traffic.

Now a new video looks at that question, comparing the different thermal-management technologies in the batteries of the new 2018 Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Bolt EV electric car. As InsideEVs pointed out earlier this year, GM claimed that it has replaced zero first-generation Volt battery packs because of "general capacity degradation." This year we had a relatively mild winter in the midwest. However, as they say, your mileage may vary.

Miles of range have been as high as 51 on a charge, and as low as 21 in the winter. The first test showed 10.3 kWh used. Even with that variance, though, it was possible to build a consistent and accurate pattern of available energy over time. On the downside, electric cars kept in the hottest climates can be expected to lose battery capacity a bit quicker than those living in more temperate areas. Yes, because battery conditioning takes juice, and if it's not plugged in. Will update in the near future. Aggregated data from batteries in the Tesla Model S, for instance, suggests that capacity loss is only on the order of 10 percent even after 100,000 miles. What effect, if any, that will have on battery degradation is anybody’s guess.

It comes from GM saying in the manual that if it's hot out, you should plug in or it'll affect the life of your battery. Consumer Reports estimates the average EV battery pack’s lifespan to be at around 200,000 miles, which is nearly 17 years of use if driven 12,000 miles per year. Well, if it’s plugged in but the EVSE is off that wouldn’t do much. Though some electric car buyers take out extended warranties to salve any fears of excess battery depletion, it’s not particularly necessary.
