- Tom Moloughney of the State of Charge YouTube channel range-tested the 2027 Chevy Bolt at 70 mph and 80 mph.

Driving slower for increased efficiency isn't a new idea. In the '70s, during the gas crisis, the U.S. government effectively dropped the national speed limit to 55 mph in an explicit bid to conserve fuel. In today's electric era, that tactic is just as effective—if not more—State of Charge host Tom Moloughney highlighted while testing a Chevy Bolt.
