The dealership she is shopping at has one where the charge will only go to 150.
They have no explanation for the issue.
They want market value for the car...
She wisely is asking me about it.
I told her to go on the ev forums and get info, and she is, but i thought id post it here because you guys were so helpful with my leaf shopping.
Thanks!

I normally charge to 80% every day because that is enough for my daily driving.
I easily get 250+ miles of range (@80% charge) in the summer but as you know, in the winter that is a lot less.
I currently see with both my 2020 & 2023 bolts 160-190 miles of range @ 80% each morning.
A lot of bolts were re-purchased by GM because of
possible faulty batteries. Instead of putting new batteries in all bolts, software was installed that will limit charging to only 80% for 6200 miles (10k km). If during those 6200 miles an abnormality is seen, a message will pop up on the display, charging will be limited to 30% (hopefully enough to make it to the dealer) and the car will be fitted with a new battery.
Look at cargurus.com for comparable bolts in your area.
There are insane deals to be made at the moment.
