Congratulations! It is just typical driving, not trying to hypermile and included 100 miles of freeway driving.

They always do that, often they're more like a direct insult sprinkled a compliment...A backhanded compliment is still a compliment.
Perfect conditions in California? Really? I have a hunch they have not seen what the Bolt is capable of yet, especially in flat states.
I'm glad it wasn't 60 PSI and a roundabout LMAOCongratulations! It is just typical driving, not trying to hypermile and included 100 miles of freeway driving.

It was tested in "Perfect Weather". Anyone from California will find that funny when considering this winter.I'm glad it wasn't 60 PSI and a roundabout LMAO
The difference is that with EV's and hybrids, the efficiency gain is so much more from using hypermiling techniques than in an ICE.How you drive any EV or ICE vehicle determines it's economy.
So we know tragically poor economy can be had. That's a given.
But if you really must extend your range, how far can you go? I don't expect folk to plan on 300 mile trips, but to know you can limp 100mi on 20 kWh could be important.
Yet we still have propeller planes for short trips, so we will have some gas cars for a long, long time!Going from gas to electric is like going from propeller to jet..
My personal best record with the Chevy Cruze for the 25-mile moving average was 95 mpg, and my personal best record for the 500-mile moving average was 58.5 mpg. The EPA rated it between 19-39 mpg depending on your driving profile and where you're driving The 500-mile 58.5 mpg was when our family went on long trip in a convoy and am following the family RV at 50-55 mph all the way to Oregon.The difference is that with EV's and hybrids, the efficiency gain is so much more from using hypermiling techniques than in an ICE.
In my ICE's I was never able to improve efficiency by more than 1 or 2 MPG no matter how much I tried....
Some of the comments on Electeck indicate the tesla fanbois are in the corner sulking - it is impossible that GM can do something good........much less equal to or better than Tesla.Congratulations! It is just typical driving, not trying to hypermile and included 100 miles of freeway driving.

This. We have a Smart ED which is the wife's car and she absolutely loves it, will never go back to gas. I like it alot also as it is very fun to drive.Some of the comments on Electeck indicate the tesla fanbois are in the corner sulking - it is impossible that GM can do something good........much less equal to or better than Tesla.
Kudos to GM
Let us all be happy that GM and Tesla and others are proceeding.
Yeah. I find electrek's biases downright insulting. These guys are something else.It was tested in "Perfect Weather". Anyone from California will find that funny when considering this winter.
He would need a wide mouth gatorade bottle (or some depends) to drive as long as it would take for him to run the batter flatWhen Ari finally gets to take one around the stadium, he's gonna need to bring snacks. It's probably gonna be a 30 hour trip.
