"Sweater, gloves required when driving Volt in cold"
I bet you didn't know this...
John leBlanc reports this on the Wheels.ca website:
"The magazine found that the Volt uses up a 'considerable' amount of battery range to heat up its cabin on colder days, reducing its range to well below 30 miles (48 kms) before draining the battery and reverting to its gas generator to recharge the batteries and power its electric motor — much lower than the optimal 64 km estimate."
