Re:GM tells some Bolt owners to park 50 feet away from other... by robotbikes on Wednesday September 15, 2021 @10:01PM (#28547061)
I mean the Chevy Volt uses only 50% of it's battery capacity but it can more easily do that thanks to having a built-in gasoline engine that operates more like a generator for the electric engine. When I found out that they limited the battery for maximum longevity I was less stressed out about the battery life. They still degrade over time and until they become more modular like the Ultium system GM is putting into their next-gen EVs it's still a big costly single point of failure.

It's not as high as 50%.
