Edmunds cars YouTube.com channel has confirmed that the 2027 Chevy Bolt has more range than advertised. The feature by Brian Wong, The Cheapest EV Is Back, is the most extensive review of the new Bolt that I’ve seen. Wong cover’s the Bolts features as well as its performance on the Edmunds’ test track.
Wong found that the 2027 Bolt had an effective range of 290 miles, almost 30 miles more than the EPA rating of 262 miles.
“The Edmunds EV range test is designed to provide a more accurate estimate of the vehicle’s range in real-world conditions. It includes 60% city and 40% highway driving with an average speed of 40 mph.”
This review confirms my own testing of the new Bolt in real world driving here in Bakersfield, California where I estimate the Bolt is capable of 280-300 miles. (See 2027 Chevy Bolt Range is Holding Steady at ~280 Miles.)
