Estimate how far your electric vehicle can travel using battery capacity, current charge, arrival reserve, and real-world energy consumption.
A lower energy consumption value means the electric vehicle is using less battery power and can normally travel farther on the same available charge.
An EV's actual range can change from one journey to another. Consider these important factors when planning a trip.
Cold or very hot weather can reduce battery efficiency and increase climate-control use.
Higher speeds increase aerodynamic resistance and can reduce available EV range.
Steep climbs require more energy, while downhill driving may recover some power through regenerative braking.
Strong headwinds increase energy consumption, especially during highway driving.
Extra passengers, luggage, roof boxes, or trailers can increase energy use.
Battery capacity can gradually decline with age, usage, temperature, and charging habits.
The calculator provides a useful planning estimate based on the information you enter. Accuracy is improved when you use recent real-world energy consumption instead of an official laboratory value.
Use the vehicle's usable battery capacity when it is available. If you only know the advertised gross capacity, the calculated range may be slightly higher than the battery energy available in practice.
Cold batteries may operate less efficiently. Cabin heating, window defrosting, and battery conditioning also consume energy that would otherwise be available for driving.
A reserve between 5% and 15% is commonly used for general planning. A larger reserve may be helpful during severe weather or on routes with limited charging stations.
Highway driving often consumes more energy because aerodynamic resistance increases at higher speeds. This can reduce range compared with moderate-speed city driving.
Yes. Select miles from the distance unit menu and enter vehicle consumption in kilowatt-hours per 100 miles.
