With a proper, 21st century, drag coefficient of ~0.20, the Bolt would have a ~30% longer range on highway.
Yet is rated for 110MPGe highway. I don't know if that is estimated manufacture or final EPA.
Doesn't sound too bad but could have been better.

Concerned about almost no buffer in battery in order to get the 238 miles range
