The Bolt is EPA rated to 255 miles of range. Most on here get better than EPA ratings.
Here's what Neil and family is getting:

I set an absolute, unwavering floor of 50mph on the freeway (PSLs are mostly 75, the remainder is majority 70 and maybe 10 miles of 65). In practice, that floor tends to be closer to 55. I have some frontage roads I take which add about a half hour, lots of 35-45 driving; that's all on the way in and pre-dawn, headlights required. Return trip doesn't offer similar options. Upper speeds for me are usually 60, more only if I get a decent draft (rare), I see I am the cause of a line of traffic, or on the downhills near where I actually live.
