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

Chevrolet Canada indicates 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 reference.
