Commute: 213 mi real-world range | longer home charging sessions
Road-trip (10-80%): 55 min (est.) | +36 mi in 10 min | peak 55 kW
Home charging (AC): 7.2 kW | 0-100% 9 h 30 min

Official EPA range is 238 mi, with 60 kWh usable battery, DC up to 55 kW (CCS Combo 1) and typical 10-80% stops near 57 min (est.). Chevrolet Bolt EV 2017 is an electric hatchback with FWD and 5 seats.
Real-world estimate (BEVDB model, est.): 160 miles (cold highway) and 262 miles (mild city). A 10-minute DC top-up (est.) adds 36 miles. Combined efficiency is 119 MPGe, or about 28 kWh/100 mi.
Daily driving and shorter weekend trips should feel easy, though longer highway journeys need more patience at chargers.

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from EPA data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.

Fast-charging times may use BEVDB estimates when measured 10–80% data is unavailable. Lower-power charger scenarios are estimated from the vehicle's 10–80% charging profile.
Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.
