He’s been advising friends and family on their next used car purchase for as long as he can remember – handy experience for his current role in charge of content at MOTORS. As a father of two young kids who covers a lot of miles, he tends to value safety, practicality and comfort above all else, so he has a soft spot for massive SUVs and premium estate cars.","sameAs":["https://www.instagram.com/steveecars","https://x.com/writingsteven"],"url":"https://news.motors.co.uk/author/steve/"}]}</script>  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="MOTORS » Electric Car Range: How Far Can an EV Go?

that drivers had over <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/electric-cars-how-do-they-work" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">electric cars</a> and the term ‘range anxiety’ became synonymous with EVs. Yet today, there are many EVs available that offer 200+ miles on a single charge, which is more than enough for a daily commute and a stint on the motorway.</p> <p>Every year, battery pack technology continues to improve, with recent breakthroughs potentially quadrupling electric vehicle range in the future. There are now EVs that even offer 400+ miles on a fully-charged battery, making long-distance travel in an EV perfectly achievable.</p> <p>In this comprehensive guide, we’ll be taking a closer look at electric car range and the factors that affect it whilst giving you practical tips on how you can maximise miles in an EV. We’ll also be comparing the range of popular models on the market which will help you to decide if <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/should-you-buy-an-electric-car/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">buying an EV is right for you</a>.</p> <ul> <li><a href="#range">What is a car’s range?</a></li> <li><a href="#wltp">What does WLTP mean?</a></li> <li><a href="#electric">What is the average range of electric cars?</a></li> <li><a href="#factors">Factors that affect EV range</a></li> <li><a href="#comparison">Electric car range comparison</a></li> <li><a href="#ev">How much range do you really need for an EV?</a></li> <li><a href="#faq">Car range frequently asked questions</a></li> </ul> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h2><a id="range"></a>What is meant by a car’s range?</h2> <p>Electric car range is how far you can travel on a fully charged battery before you have to stop and ‘refuel’. Or in the case of electric vehicles, recharge. It gives you an indication of what your EV can do in terms of distance and an idea of how often you will have to recharge the batteries according to how many miles you drive.</p> <p>Manufacturers use the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) to measure EV car range. The figures produced from this simulated test give a very good indication of the maximum driving range.</p> <p>While more accurate than the previous NEDC test, it doesn’t always reflect real-world driving conditions. For this reason, the WLTP figures are most useful for comparing vehicles rather than giving an accurate idea of the total range.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h2><a id="wltp"></a>What does WLTP mean?</h2> <p>The Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure measures new vehicle fuel economy, emissions and electric driving range. Every new passenger car is required to go through this laboratory test which is designed to simulate an average car journey.</p> <p>The simulation includes test phases for acceleration, braking and when the vehicle is stationary, as well as factoring in rolling resistance, air resistance, different engine/gearbox combinations and any optional equipment. Every test cycle is identical and the tests will generally include the lightest and heaviest versions of a car model, allowing you to easily compare vehicles.</p> <p>Sometimes though, real-world range is the figure produced by, you guessed it, taking the EV out onto British roads in proper British weather and measuring how well it stacks up. Along with official figures from the WLTP, <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/reviews/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">car reviews</a> are good for buyers who want to get a clearer picture of an EV’s true range.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h2><a id="electric"></a>What is the average range of electric cars?</h2> <p>According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), the average range of all electric cars on the market in 2023 was 236 miles.</p> <p>Most electric cars currently on the market have a range between 100 and 300 miles with some offering closer to 400 miles. It has been estimated that on average most people only drive around 20 miles per day, so even EVs on the lower end of this scale would be suitable for the daily commute.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h2><a id="factors"></a>What factors affect the range of an electric car?</h2> <p>There are lots of factors that impact the range of an electric car and how far it can travel on a single charge. Thankfully, you have control over some of these factors. Others, however, are down to the environment and road conditions.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="split option-textcontainer option-rounded option-imagesize-60 layout-reset option-start-right split__rows__ "> <div class="split__outer"> <div class="split__block option-backgroundColor" style="background-color: #48ba7e;color: #ffffff;" > <div class="inner"> <div class="split__block__content"> <div class="split__block__inner"> <div class="left"> <div class="split__block__content__title"> <h3>Temperature</h3> </div> <div class="split__block__content__text"> <p>Electric batteries function better in warm weather, giving you more miles on average during the warmer months. The opposite is true for really cold weather, where the battery will perform slower and have to work harder, resulting in less mileage. Similarly, extremely hot weather can cause the battery to overheat, further reducing its range.</p> <p>As well as reducing the range of your EV, cold weather can also increase the car’s charging time and this tends to be the case no matter what <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/electric-car-charging-guide/" rel="noopener noreferrer">type of electric car charger</a> you use. The ideal operating temperature for an EV battery is between 20 and 40°C. Outside of these temperatures, electric vehicles regulate themselves through what is known as a charging curve which is designed to protect the battery during the <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/electric-car-charging-guide/" rel="noopener noreferrer">charging process</a>.</p> </div>  </div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block__image" style="background-image: url('https://news.motors.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/temperature.jpg')"></div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block option-backgroundColor" style="background-color: #48ba7e;color: #ffffff;" > <div class="inner"> <div class="split__block__content"> <div class="split__block__inner"> <div class="left"> <div class="split__block__content__title"> <h3>Weather conditions</h3> </div> <div class="split__block__content__text"> <p>As well as extreme temperatures, weather conditions such as strong headwinds can also reduce the overall range of your EV. This is because the electric motor has to work harder when accelerating. The rain can also increase rolling resistance, depleting the battery at a quicker rate.</p> <p>When <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/top-tips-for-driving-in-winter/" rel="noopener noreferrer">driving in snow and icy conditions</a>, taking advantage of regenerative braking will help to retain more energy within the battery, therefore helping to improve its efficiency.</p> </div>  </div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block__image" style="background-image: url('https://news.motors.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/weather-conditions.jpg')"></div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block option-backgroundColor" style="background-color: #48ba7e;color: #ffffff;" > <div class="inner"> <div class="split__block__content"> <div class="split__block__inner"> <div class="left"> <div class="split__block__content__title"> <h3>Topography and road conditions</h3> </div> <div class="split__block__content__text"> <p>The topography of the roads you use will also influence the range.

On the other hand, travelling downhill and using the brakes will help generate and recover power through the regenerative braking system.</p> </div>  </div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block__image" style="background-image: url('https://news.motors.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/topgraphy.jpg')"></div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block option-backgroundColor" style="background-color: #48ba7e;color: #ffffff;" > <div class="inner"> <div class="split__block__content"> <div class="split__block__inner"> <div class="left"> <div class="split__block__content__title"> <h3>Driving style</h3> </div> <div class="split__block__content__text"> <p>How you drive greatly affects the range of an EV battery, but the good news is you have control over this. Driving at slower speeds and accelerating slowly will increase your electric vehicle’s range, as will allowing the car to decelerate using regenerative braking.</p> <p>Of course, the opposite is true too. Driving fast and braking hard will use up more energy and you’ll have less range because of it. Estimates suggest that driving 70mph could decrease your range by 25% compared to driving at a steady pace of 55mph.</p> </div>  </div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block__image" style="background-image: url('https://news.motors.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/driving-style.jpg')"></div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block option-backgroundColor" style="background-color: #48ba7e;color: #ffffff;" > <div class="inner"> <div class="split__block__content"> <div class="split__block__inner"> <div class="left"> <div class="split__block__content__title"> <h3>Tyre condition</h3> </div> <div class="split__block__content__text"> <p>The condition of your tyres can have a negative impact on the range of your EV.

The current estimation is that a battery will last between 10-20 years before needing to be replaced – it’s why most manufacturers confidently offer a 5 to 8-year battery warranty.</p> <p>To maintain the health of the battery, you should avoid charging it every day to 100%. Instead, you should keep it charged between 30% and 80% as this can help reduce stress on the battery, improving its longevity and the amount of energy it can store over the long term.</p> </div>  </div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block__image" style="background-image: url('https://news.motors.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/battery-age.jpg')"></div> </div> </div> <div class="split__block option-backgroundColor" style="background-color: #48ba7e;color: #ffffff;" > <div class="inner"> <div class="split__block__content"> <div class="split__block__inner"> <div class="left"> <div class="split__block__content__title"> <h3>Payload</h3> </div> <div class="split__block__content__text"> <p>The heavier your EV, the more the battery will have to work, meaning the less range you’ll get.

These particular features draw electricity from the battery, which is another reason you often get fewer miles in the winter with EVs. This is not too dissimilar to using air-con in a conventional combustion engine in the summer which also increases fuel consumption.</p> <p>With all that being said, our real-world test suggested that this isn’t always the case.

One car had just the driver, while the other was loaded with luggage and passengers who took advantage of tech features such as the heated seats, heated steering wheel, sat nav and radio.</p> <p>At the halfway checkpoint, the test car still had 72% battery life with 200 miles of range left. Surprisingly, two hours later, once the journey was completed, we found only a 4% difference in battery life between the two cars.

person and lifestyle, but a good rule of thumb is an EV which can do three times your daily commute. On average, most people in the UK only <a href="https://www.nimblefins.co.uk/cheap-car-insurance/average-car-mileage-uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">drive around 20 miles per day</a>, so even EVs offering 100 miles would be sufficient for most. However, it is worth factoring in any longer drives you may take throughout the year.</p> <p>Before looking to purchase an EV, we would recommend tracking your average week’s worth of driving and using this calculation as a baseline to figure out the most suitable range for your needs.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="heading layout-nobackground option-fullwidth option-titleside-left" > <div class="container"> <div class="heading__inner"> <div class="heading__inner__title"> <h2><a id="faq"></a>Frequently Asked Questions about Electric Car Range</h2> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion layout-nobackground option-style-plus option-border option-captions " > <div class="container"> <div class="dropdown"> <div class="dropdown__top"> <h3>How far can an electric car go?</h3> </div> <div class="dropdown__btm"> <div class="dropdown__btm__inner"> <p>As we’ve explored, the average range of all electric cars on the market in 2023 was 236 miles, but the true range of an EV depends entirely on the make and model, as well as the road and weather conditions.</p> <p>Smaller electric cars that are more suited to city driving can generally offer around 100 to 150 miles of range on average. Models such as the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/honda/e/used-cars/">Honda E</a> and <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/nissan/leaf/used-cars/">Nissan Leaf</a> are great examples of these. For long-distance and motorway driving, models such as the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/bmw/ix/used-cars/" rel="noopener noreferrer">BMW iX</a> and the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/tesla/model-s/used-cars/">Tesla Model S</a> would be more suitable as they have an average range closer to 400 miles.</p> <p>There are also plenty of electric vehicles that sit between the two as well, such as the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/porsche/taycan/used-cars/">Porsche Taycan</a> and the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/ford/mustang-mach-e/used-cars/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ford Mustang Mach-E</a> – both averaging around 250 miles.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dropdown"> <div class="dropdown__top"> <h3>Which electric car has the longest range?</h3> </div> <div class="dropdown__btm"> <div class="dropdown__btm__inner"> <p>In the UK, the electric car with the longest range is the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/car-price-guide/mercedes-benz/eqs/">Mercedes EQS 450+</a>, offering up to 453 miles on a single charge. Other popular long-range models include the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/tesla/model-s/used-cars/">Tesla Model S</a> which offers up to 405, the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/bmw/ix/used-cars/" rel="noopener noreferrer">BMW iX</a> which offers up to 380 miles and the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/car-price-guide/ford/mustang-mache/">Ford Mustang Mach-E</a> which offers an impressive 372 miles.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dropdown"> <div class="dropdown__top"> <h3>What does ‘miles per KWH’ mean?</h3> </div> <div class="dropdown__btm"> <div class="dropdown__btm__inner"> <p>Miles per KWH is the measurement of the electric car’s energy consumption, with kWh standing for a kilowatt hour. Put simply, it’s the rate at which the EV depletes energy from its battery. An easy way to think of it is just like miles per gallon – how far a car can go when it’s filled with fuel, or in this case, electric battery power.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dropdown"> <div class="dropdown__top"> <h3>Which electric cars are the most efficient?</h3> </div> <div class="dropdown__btm"> <div class="dropdown__btm__inner"> <p>Here’s a quick top 10 of the most efficient electric cars:</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/renault/twizy/used-cars/">Renault Twizy</a> – 6.1 miles/kWh</li> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/volkswagen/fuel/full-electric/used-cars/">Volkswagen e-Up</a> – 5.3 miles/kWh</li> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/fiat/500/fuel/full-electric/used-cars/">Fiat 500 (Action)</a> – 4.8 miles/kWh</li> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/smart/forfour/used-cars/">Smart EQ Forfour</a> – 4.7 miles/kWh</li> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/hyundai/ioniq/fuel/full-electric/used-cars/">Hyundai Ioniq Electric</a> – 4.5 miles/kWh</li> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/tesla/model-3/used-cars/">Tesla Model 3</a> – 4.4 miles/kWh</li> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/hyundai/kona/fuel/full-electric/used-cars/">Hyundai Kona Electric</a> – 4.3 miles/kWh</li> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/seat/mii/fuel/full-electric/used-cars/">Seat Mii Electric</a> – 4.3 miles/kWh</li> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/renault/zoe/used-cars/">Renault Zoe</a> – 4.3 miles/kWh</li> <li><a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/volkswagen/fuel/full-electric/used-cars/">Volkswagen ID3</a> – 4.2 miles/kWh</li> </ol> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dropdown"> <div class="dropdown__top"> <h3>Can I go on long trips in an electric car?</h3> </div> <div class="dropdown__btm"> <div class="dropdown__btm__inner"> <p>Nowadays, there are plenty of EVs that offer over 200+ miles in range on a single charge, like the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/kia/niro/fuel/full-electric/used-cars/">Kia e-Niro</a>, the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/tesla/model-3/used-cars/">Tesla Model 3</a>, and a whole lot more. And then there are the longest-range electric cars, offering around 400 miles on a full battery.</p> <p>Yet remember, even EVs with shorter ranges can be taken on long trips. According to <a href="https://www.edfenergy.com/electric-cars/charging-points#:~:text=There%20are%20now%20more%20than,to%20charge%20than%20petrol%20stations">EDF Energy</a>, there are over 42,000 charging point connectors across the UK in over 15,500 locations.
