And we take another look at highway range in the Chevy Bolt EV—and a factor that can still cause range anxiety. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.

We discuss much about driving range in electric cars—not just because a high range rating is a top priority to EV shoppers, but because it’s something you need to consider in a way you might never have for gasoline vehicles. Factors that can dramatically affect driving range include how fast you’re driving, outside temperatures...
Renault CEO Luca de Meo sees a "potential upside" to reviving the EV battery-swapping tech the French automaker shelved years ago, according to the Financial Times. "It's not decided, but I see it as an interesting opportunity," de Meo said. That's an interesting statement from the head of an automaker that has flip-flopped on battery swapping...

Sometimes you need more electric-car driving range, or a cure for all the concern about getting from one charging station to another on a road trip. Or you can get by just fine with a compact car 360 days of the year but need a bigger vehicle—and a tow hitch—for the annual week up at the cabin. Nissan is offering a perk to Leaf buyers...
The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV has been EPA-rated at 247 miles of range. That's a bit lower than the 250 miles General Motors estimated when the Bolt EUV was unveiled earlier this year.
