Ask the Expert: Basics for Your EV Journey

Q. What is the total battery capacity and estimated range and what factors can affect range?

A. The estimated battery range varies due to a number of factors, but most vehicles achieve a reliable range of 135 miles per charge for the 210 kWh battery system and 200+ miles per charge for the 315 kWh battery system. Climate, terrain, use of regenerative braking, AC/Heat usage, and vehicle use may all affect range. In cold weather, for instance, we’ve seen an average of 20% impact, but this can be affected by storage & conditioning before route. In hot weather, we've seen an average of 15% loss due to AC use. Our team can help assist with route simulation and consulting to help you better understand these types of factors and help keep you prepared.
