Chevy Bolt EUV: charging cost vs gas
We've set the Chevy Bolt EUV as your EV below. Pick the gas car you'd compare against, set your prices and miles, and see the real cost difference — and the break-even.
Efficiency 3.6 mi/kWh
EPA range 260 mi
From ~$28,000
Typical gas rival 30 mpg
The Bolt is the value champion: a low sticker price and strong efficiency (~3.6 mi/kWh) mean both the smallest premium to recover and very cheap running costs. That combination gives it one of the fastest break-evens of any EV.
It's a small car, but for a commuter that charges at home, the Bolt undercuts almost everything — gas or electric — on cost per mile.
What to keep in mind
- Low price + good efficiency = one of the quickest paybacks of any EV.
- Ideal commuter: cheap to buy, cheap to charge at home.
- Smaller and slower-charging than premium rivals, but unbeatable on cost.
