What is the EPA all-electric range of the 2019 Chevrolet Volt?

The EPA all-electric range of the 2019 Chevrolet Volt is 53 miles. This figure belongs to the second-generation Volt, whose 2016–2019 model years used a substantially revised battery and electric-drive system.

The second-generation Volt debuted for the 2016 model year after Chevrolet unveiled it at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. Its battery pack grew to 18.4 kWh, compared with the first-generation car’s smaller pack, while the redesigned powertrain became more efficient. Those changes raised EPA electric range from 38 miles in the 2015 Volt to 53 miles in the newer generation.

The 53-mile rating was an EPA test estimate, not a guarantee for every trip. Temperature, speed, terrain, climate-control use, driving style, and battery condition can all change real-world range. Some drivers reported exceeding the official figure in favorable conditions, but those results should not be confused with the standardized rating.

A common mix-up is confusing the Volt’s electric range with its total driving range. After the battery is depleted, the gasoline engine operates as a range extender, giving the second-generation Volt a total range of roughly 420 miles under EPA testing. Production ended in February 2019.
