How the Calculation Works
Real-World Range:EPA adjusted for conditions
Energy Consumption:kWh used / 100 miles
Efficiency:Miles per kWh
Range Loss vs EPA:(EPA - Real) / EPA × 100
Cost per Mile:Consumption × Rate
Who Should Use This Tool

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my real-world EV range lower than EPA?+
EPA tests are lab-based. Real-world range drops 10–20% from highway speeds, 20–35% in cold (<32°F), 10–15% from aggressive driving, and 10–20% from AC/heater use.
How does cold weather affect EV range?+
At 20°F, EV range drops 25–40%. Battery chemistry slows, cabin heating draws 3–5 kW, and regenerative braking is limited. Pre-conditioning while plugged in helps.
Does highway driving reduce EV range?+
Yes—significantly. At 75 mph, range drops 20–25% vs 55 mph due to aerodynamic drag. EVs are most efficient at 30–55 mph.
How can I maximize my EV range?+
Drive 60–65 mph, use eco mode, precondition cabin while plugged in, use seat heaters instead of cabin heat, maintain proper tire pressure, and use regenerative braking.
What is a good EV efficiency?+
Modern EVs achieve 3–4 mi/kWh. The Tesla Model 3 leads at 4.0+ mi/kWh. Trucks (Rivian, F-150 Lightning) average 2.0–2.5 mi/kWh due to weight and drag.
