    The next Chevy bolt will also have LFP batteries, so they should have similar performance. I think the benefits of LFP outweigh the NCM and that they have a higher life expectancy, can charge to a higher rate with less degradation, although they don’t like really cold weather.

      My M3 with LFP battery had almost no range loss in its first winter last year, although last year was milder than normal in the NE USA

      And if Chevy actually gives drivers the option to manually precondition the battery, your last point would be much less of a negative.
