Chevrolet Bolt Sets Consumer Reports' Electric-Vehicle Range Record
Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site.
The Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle has set the mark for all-electric-vehicle range in Consumer Reports' testing, reaching 250 miles on a single charge.
The Bolt is estimated to reach 238 miles by the Environmental Protection Agency. In our testing, electric vehicles tend to fall short of their EPA-estimated range, including the:
2016 Tesla Model S 75D, 235 miles achieved vs. 259-mile EPA estimate.
2016 Tesla Model X 90D, 230 miles achieved vs. 257-mile EPA estimate.
In our electric-vehicle range test, we put the Bolt head to head against our 2016 Tesla Model S 75D. The Tesla ran out of juice at 235 miles, while the Bolt motored on for another 15 miles. (Learn how Consumer Reports tests cars.)
