2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV: InsideEVs 70 MPH Range Test via insideevs.com
Because of that, two of the three tools we use to predict when the vehicle is about to run out were removed from our toolbox and, in the effort to squeeze out as many miles as possible, we ran short for the very first time and didn't make the charging station at the end of the test. Instead, the Bolt EV needed to get pulled up onto a tow truck and driven to the charging station - the ultimate tow of shame.We want to make it clear our range tests aren't perfect.
We always set the tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, crosscheck the speedometer with a GPS for accuracy and place the vehicle in the most efficient driving mode, and in the case of the Bolt EV, that's the normal driving mode. We set the climate control to somewhere between 68°F and 70°F and on the lowest fan setting unless more heating or cooling is needed to maintain a comfortable cabin.
We always charge the vehicle up to 100 percent right before starting the test, reset the trip meter and enter the highway immediately or within a couple of miles. We then drive at a constant 70 mph and in long loops so we end up either where we started, or as close as possible. Driving conditions, temperature, and topography will affect an EVs driving range and our 70-mph range tests serve only as a guideline of approximately what you should expect if you drive the same EV under similar conditions.
