Sorry,
Tesla: Chevy Bolt officially goes 238
miles on a
single charge
America's nascent electric car industry got a major shot in the arm Tuesday, when
Chevrolet revealed that its forthcoming
Bolt EV has been rated by the EPA: It will
officially be able to drive 238
miles on a
single charge.*
That number is **ne too shabby considering that Elon Musk's Tesla, the current electric market leader, got to 208
miles in its EPA rating for the Model S sedan. (Both cars boast a 60 kw/h battery.) Musk has said that Tesla's next car, the Model 3, is aiming for at least 215
miles of range.
