Those eco modes annoy me almost as much as sport mode for most of these EVs in that they rarely improve efficiency, and usually only make the skinny pedal less responsive. Same story with sport mode for most EVs. On the Bolt, sport mode doesn't affect max power or top speed. What it does is make a non-linear throttle such that you get less precise control in the first and last portions of pedal travel.
Funny that the Golf actually limits top speed in Eco+ mode, as if we're incapable of controlling top speed without a mode.
