NEW CHEVY VOLT RANGE DRIVERS
Department of Transportation data, the majority of drivers should be able to get away with the Electric mode most of the time. It achieved 45 miles of AER all electric range.
I took the Volt out on an easy drive averaging 48 mph. But with nearly eight out of ten Americans commuting fewer than 40 miles a day, according to U.S. When I received the Volt the guess-0-meter registered 35 miles of total range. I drive around town, then charge the car, so much of the time I have a full 50-mile. Chevrolet today unveiled the all-new 2016 Volt electric car with extended range, showcasing a sleeker, sportier design that offers 50 miles of EV range. The 2022 Bolt outperformed its EPA-estimated range of 259 miles, covering 278 miles on Edmunds' real-world EV. GM says the Volt is expected to travel up to 40 miles on electricity from a single battery charge and will be able to extend its overall range to more then 300 miles with the Extended-Range mode. Most of my driving is done within the Volts range of about 50 miles. TESTED: 2022 Chevy Bolt Tops EPA Range by 7. While the Volt uses grid electricity as its primary source of energy to propel the car, when the 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack reaches a minimum state of charge it automatically switches to Extended-Range mode in which a flex fuel powered engine-generator produces electricity to power the vehicle. The Chevy has an EPA driving range of 259 miles, which is nothing to sneeze at, and its fast-charging capability allows it to replenish up to 100 miles of range in 30 minutes. (approximately 11 cents per kWh), GM says a typical Volt driver would pay about $2.75 to travel 100 miles, or less than 3 cents per mile. Based on the average cost of electricity in the U.S. The new methodology being developed weights plug-in electric vehicles as traveling more city miles than highway miles on only electricity and uses kilowatt hours per 100 miles traveled to define the electrical efficiency of plug-ins.Īpplying this methodology GM expects the Volt to consume as little as 25 kilowatt hours per 100 miles in city driving.

The figure is based on development testing using a draft EPA federal fuel economy methodology for labeling for plug-in electric vehicles. Estimated EV range increased to 38 miles New battery conserving driving mode Plug-in battery-electric car Gas-powered range-extending generator New safety and entertainment features Gas-powered. We’ve been following the Chevrolet Volt since it was a gleam in GM’s eye and, with the anticipated production date of 2010 rapidly approaching, GM has announced that its extended-range electric vehicle is expected to achieve city fuel economy of at least 230 miles per gallon.
