    That’s not a great comparison since I’d categorize the Bolt as being fairly inefficient. It has poor aerodynamics (wrong shape and no flsf bottom) which results in a larger range loss when range matters most at interstate speeds.

    The Bolt is efficient in city driving, but not otherwise. I’d say a better comparison would be between the Mach e and model Y where you do see a meaningful difference in efficiency.

      Well there aren’t a great deal of slow EVs. Much less sedans at all.

      It’s still similar in efficiency to a Model Y Performance.

      has poor aerodynamics (wrong shape and no flsf bottom) which results in a larger range loss when range matters most at interstate speeds.

      It’s also incredibly slow by comparison. The point is that it’s a massive difference in performance and a comparably miniscule difference in efficiency.
