When electric vehicles were first introduced, range anxiety was a real concern for owners. Charging stations were fewer and farther between, making longer trips less feasible. But today, electric vehicles are compelling options for all kinds of lifestyles. Many of the latest EVs offer a driving range of at least 250 miles, and the lifespan of EV batteries looks promising as well. But, there are plenty of EVs that offer even longer ranges.
The average round trip commute in the United States is just over 52 minutes, although that varies by state. As long as you can plug in when you get home, you should be able to recover that range overnight. To maximize your battery, avoid driving aggressively and be mindful of extreme weather. And while your vehicle will let you know how many miles you have left, it’s always a good idea to leave a buffer in case of an unexpected detour.
