Chevy Bolt beats the Tesla Model S 75D in a new Consumer Reports range test
The Chevy Bolt beat the Tesla Model S 75D by 15 miles in a new range test performed by Consumer Reports. GM’s all-electric crossover made it 250 miles before its battery was completely zapped, while the Tesla died out at 235 miles. It’s a shocking turn of events when you consider that the Model S 75D should have easily charged past the Chevy Bolt according to their EPA range estimates, which are 259 and 238 miles, respectively.
Consumer Reports put the two cars to the test on the same pre-planned course, which mostly consisted of highway driving at 65 miles per hour with the HVAC systems turned off. There was some “mixed driving” off the highway, too, according to the post.
