Driving During a Quebec Winter
Chevrolet recommends preconditioning the cabin while the vehicle is plugged in. This feature allows energy from the charger to heat or cool the cabin before departure instead of relying solely on battery power once the vehicle is on the road.
One-pedal driving and regenerative braking can also recover some energy during deceleration. Their operation and effectiveness can vary depending on temperature, state of charge and road conditions.

Chevrolet Canada states that the propulsion batteries in the 2027 Bolt and Equinox EV are covered by a limited warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first. For any specific vehicle, the complete terms in the warranty guide supplied with the vehicle remain the authoritative reference.
