About This Calculator

Estimate real-world EV range by factoring in battery capacity, driving efficiency, temperature effects, and HVAC usage. EPA ratings are tested in ideal conditions—actual range varies significantly based on driving habits and weather.

🧮 EV Range Formula

Basic Range:
Range = Battery (kWh) × Efficiency (mi/kWh)
Adjusted Range:
Actual = Basic × Temp Factor × Style Factor × HVAC Factor

🌡️ Temperature Impact

  • Cold weather: Can reduce range 20-40% due to battery chemistry and cabin heating
  • Hot weather: 10-15% loss from AC and battery cooling
  • Ideal temp: 60-80°F (15-27°C) for maximum efficiency
  • Pre-conditioning: Warm/cool car while plugged in to preserve range

💡 Range Tips

  • Use seat heaters instead of cabin heat (more efficient)
  • Reduce highway speed—aerodynamic drag increases exponentially
  • Use regenerative braking in "one-pedal" mode
  • Keep tires properly inflated
  • Plan routes with charging stops for long trips

❓ FAQ

Why is my range less than EPA rating?

EPA tests are done in controlled conditions at moderate temperatures. Real-world factors like speed, weather, terrain, and HVAC use significantly affect range.

How much range do I really need?

Most daily driving is under 40 miles. A 200+ mile range EV covers 95% of trips. For road trips, plan for charging stops every 150-200 miles.
