I own a fucking Bolt. I don’t hate EVs. It’s difficult to get the advertised range when GM insists on binding it with a software update that prevents charging above 80% as a workaround while they are still sorting out their battery recall years later.

That's a precationary limit because of a pending recall. The batteries aren't degraded to 80%.

You can't use it above 80%, the reason you can't doesn't make a difference for your ability to drive the car.
