Mine does not like the 97-103 heat. WHIRRRRRRR.

I have been waiting for hot weather to do a "distance run".

Any tips? It's very flat where I live, and I live out in the boonies so I can drive 25MPH... wonder if I can squeeze double the stock range out of the battery on my 160,000 mile 2012?

Yes, you can. My 2017 is quite capable of 140km on a full charge and using about 14kWh of energy. The consumption works out to about 1kW per 10k/h up to 50k/h then wind resistance becomes a major drag.

Here is an instance where I got 72km using about 7kW of charge: https://imgur.com/gallery/czxPnZr

Wish my G1 volt had that display!

I'll give it a go sometime in the next few days I think.

Same, I'm embarrassed to share what my 14' is maxing out at.

Tried yesterday a bit, managed to get 60km from 7kw.

I think I need new rear wheel bearings. They aren't noisy but they are a little stiff to turn and I bet that's hurting it.

I did 89 miles through a bit of careful driving a few weeks ago. If I was really careful I could do 100 if I planned it right.

Not my 2017. My estimated range is down to 38 miles. Florida, heat, air conditioning?

My 2012 has been showing 19mi at full charge lately but I’ve actually been getting 26-28 pretty consistently. Almost at 250k miles tho.

Hey it’s worth keeping forever if you can - my volts got me cheap or no gas for years and I love that aspect
