This article is full of factual errors. Few EV owners know the range of their vehicles - you don't necessarily start a trip at 100% charge nor do you end at 0%. And conditions vary. The Bolt would not exist without the Leaf. They are, until 2019 at least, apples and oranges. When we compared the Bolt to the Leaf (2017), the lease price on a Leaf was 1/3 that of a Bolt! Plus every Chevy dealer had no DCFC and broken level 2 stations. So sad to see Bolt drivers struggling to charge their cars at stations in CA paid for by Japanese gov't that charge at 36kW/hr because Chevy did not build infrastructure to support their parasitic cars. We regularly drive our inferior Leaf 200-250 miles/day in 105 degree heat with 3-4 DCFC stops. No battery degradation thus far according to Nissan; yes it has turtled to limit output but we still can go 65 under those conditions. Battery will cool rapidly while you break for dinner or even while driving at night. At 11 battery temp bars (out of 12), car will still charge at 30kW/hr. Others report 600 mile trips in one day in summer heat. I would like to see actual sources regarding long-term battery disposition before being convinced. Is Tesla the only responsible electric car maker?
