Estimate your EV's real-world range based on battery, efficiency, and driving conditions.
Electric vehicle range is the estimated distance an EV can travel on a full charge under real-world conditions. Rated range (EPA/WLTP) typically overstates real-world range by 10–25% due to temperature, speed, and climate control usage.
| Model | Battery | EPA Range |
|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model 3 LR | 82 kWh | 358 mi |
| Tesla Model Y LR | 82 kWh | 330 mi |
| Chevrolet Bolt EUV | 65 kWh | 247 mi |
| Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE | 77.4 kWh | 361 mi |
| Ford F-150 Lightning | 131 kWh | 320 mi |
| Rivian R1T Adventure | 135 kWh | 314 mi |
Formula
Range = Battery Capacity (kWh) × Efficiency (mi/kWh) × Temperature FactorBattery Capacity = total usable battery size in kilowatt-hours (kWh)
Efficiency = real-world miles per kWh (from manufacturer specs or your driving data)
Temperature Factor = adjustment multiplier: 0.62 (freezing) to 1.0 (mild) to 0.92 (hot)
Worked Example
82 kWh battery, 3.5 mi/kWh efficiency, cold weather driving
Did you know? EV range drops by up to 40% in sub-freezing temperatures due to battery chemistry and cabin heating demand, according to AAA's Electric Vehicle Range Testing study.
