1. What is EV Battery Range?

The EV battery range is the maximum distance an electric vehicle can travel on a single charge. It depends on the battery capacity and the vehicle's energy efficiency.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EV range equation:

Where:

• \( Battery\ Energy \) — Total energy storage capacity of the battery (kWh)
• \( Energy\ Consumption \) — Vehicle's energy efficiency (Wh/km)

Explanation: The equation converts battery energy to watt-hours (by multiplying by 1000) then divides by consumption rate to get range in kilometers.

3. Importance of Range Calculation

Details: Accurate range estimation helps EV owners plan trips, understand charging needs, and compare vehicle efficiency.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter battery energy in kWh and energy consumption in Wh/km. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical battery energy for EVs?
A: Most modern EVs have batteries between 40-100 kWh, with some high-end models exceeding 100 kWh.

Q2: What's average energy consumption?
A: Typically 150-250 Wh/km for efficient models, higher for larger vehicles or aggressive driving.

Q3: Why does my actual range differ?
A: Real-world range is affected by driving style, temperature, terrain, and accessory use.

Q4: How can I improve my EV's range?
A: Drive at moderate speeds, use regenerative braking, minimize HVAC use, and keep tires properly inflated.

Q5: Does battery degradation affect range?
A: Yes, as batteries age they hold less charge, reducing maximum range over time.
