Where'd you get +20 miles from? The Leaf has a 108 mile range, the Bolt has a 238 mile range - that's a huge difference.

There's a LEAF available with 125 mile range, and next year's model is said to have a 60kWh battery (meaning 200+ miles).
I must have misheard the sales guy when I test drove one. Thought he said 180.
Depends whether your talking NEDC range (European standard) which is always wildly over optimistic, or EPA range (USA) which is actually pretty accurate. 30kwh Leaf gets about 110 miles which is roughly it's EPA rating (I drive one).

Be very skeptical of European manufacturers talking about their EV range in press releases, they are usually talking NEDC.
