First post. Was planning to get Niro EV but Kia dealers do not provide any warranty service or any service for that matter since not sold in IL. Then started looking at Bolts since 2020 Premier can be had for near $25k with some haggling. Looking for cheap EV experience and not to really reduce my carbon footprint and all that climate change stuff.
I dont do long distance. Just using for grocery runs, office commutes etc since I fortunately have multiple cars for specific purpose (sports car, luxury suv ..).
My other gas guzzling SUV's i normally preheat/remote start when cold weather for about 15 mins. Like it nice and warm when driving. If i continue to do this with the bolt what is a rule of thumb/approximate number of miles I will lose per minute when I leave it running with heat and fans blasting to max ? In other words after a full charge what is the range reduction if left running with max heat/fans for about 15 mins..
