One of the big design flaws of the Chevy Bolt is the lack of a heat pump. Running the heater uses up significant energy and thus range. I noticed something near the end of winter, pretty big discounts on bolts. Heater isnt a problem for me because often I dont drive long enough to ever heat up anyway.<p>When checking <a href="https://abetterrouteplanner.com/" rel="nofollow">https://abetterrouteplanner.com/</a> and 400km range, you can get all the long distance places; but i think practical use of an EV isn't in that max range per charge. It seems to want to leave you in that 10% to 60% battery range for your long distance driving anyway. You arent really using your max range capability.<p>The one disadvantage I found, charging speed on a bolt is 55kw; but on many higher end cars you can get 150-300kw. The new blazer EV can charge at 150kw and so you're getting triple the range per time period.<p>Charging speed and curve seems far more important than range to me.
