When its between 60 - 80F and you are not using climate control, you can pretty reliably expect to get at least 53 miles range, unless you are driving 70+ on the interstate the entire time. I have gotten 72+ miles out of my battery before in the summer driving down back rounds at 45 MPH or less with no AC on and the window down. The optimal temp for the battery is around ~80F ambient I believe. The car shows you what it thinks your range will be, given a history of your recent driving and the conditions it faced (temp, acceleration, avg speed, pre conditioning). All these things also draw on the battery and contribute to a lower range being displayed. I have a 2018 Volt, it all depends on driving style and weather.Ĭold weather WILL reduce battery range and usually when its cold, you run the heater, heated seats or heated steering wheel. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions. On the highway with average temperatures I get a pretty consistent 53 miles of battery from full to empty. Further flat land is preferred over steep gradients, unless you are only ever going down hill.įinally, the volt tends to prefer city driving and get the best mileage when you keep it below 45mph. I also usually drive in L to allow for constant regen as soon as I let off the accelerator. During the summer I try to only use the fans or roll down the windows rather than AC, and during the winter I use the seat and wheel heaters rather than cabin heating as climate control will eat battery.īeing light on the pedal, not rabbiting off the line, and using regenerative breaking over traditional breaks significantly improve range. I have a 2016 LT, and I will get between 40 and 70 miles in a charge.Īmbient temperature seems to have the biggest effect, as I will get upwards of 65-70 miles in the summer and about 40 in the winter, with the engine kicking up if the batteries are too cold. Footnotes Footnote 1įCEV = fuel cell electric vehicle (hydrogen), PHEV = plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, BEV = battery electric vehicle (100% electric).Temperature, driving style, and types of driving can wildly affect ev mileage in my experience. If Transport Canada assesses that an automaker is potentially departing from standard pricing approaches to these fees/costs, Transport Canada reserves the right to withdraw a vehicle from the eligibility list. In Quebec, regulations requires merchants to advertise an "all inclusive" price, which includes these additional costs.Įligibility, including the continuation of eligibility, remains at the Minister of Transport's discretion.Īll fees and costs related to the purchase or lease of an eligible vehicles, such as freight and delivery charges, should be comparable to those same fees and costs for other vehicles sold by the same automaker. For the purposes of this program, MSRP excludes additional costs, such as freight, delivery, and other fees. Please consult automakers' websites for more precise and detailed information and specifications for the vehicles on this list.Īll vehicles that appear on the list have been deemed eligible under the iZEV program, based on manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRPs) provided to Transport Canada by automakers. This list will be updated on a regular basis please check to make sure the car you are interested in purchasing is on the list. Vehicles must always be purchased after the respective eligibility date for the vehicle. *Vehicles eligible for an increased incentive amount as a result of the expanded program parameters, taking effect April 25th, 2022.
