EV Range Estimator
Estimate your electric vehicle's real-world range based on weather conditions, driving speed, and climate control usage. Plan trips confidently.
Important: Range estimates are approximations. Real-world range varies significantly based on driving style, terrain, wind, and vehicle condition. Always plan charging stops conservatively.

vs baseline: 249 mi
Factors Affecting Range:
- • Temperature: Optimal temperature range
- • Speed: Moderate impact
- • Climate Control: Eco mode minimizes climate control impact
These estimates use typical impact multipliers. Your actual range may vary significantly. Always plan charging stops conservatively on long trips.
Factors Affecting EV Range
🌡️ Temperature
- • Optimal: 15-25°C (59-77°F)
- • Cold weather: -20 to -40% range
- • Hot weather: -5 to -15% range
- • Battery chemistry affects cold performance
💨 Speed & Driving
- • City: +5% (regenerative braking)
- • Highway (70 mph): -15 to -20%
- • Highway (80+ mph): -25 to -35%
- • Smooth acceleration helps
❄️ Climate Control
- • Off: no impact
- • Eco mode: -5 to -8%
- • Normal (extreme temps): -10 to -15%
- • Seat heaters more efficient than cabin heat
🚗 Other Factors
- • Cargo and passengers (weight)
- • Tire pressure (under-inflation reduces range)
- • Terrain (hills reduce range)
- • Wind (headwinds reduce efficiency)
Tips for Maximizing Range
- Precondition cabin while plugged in (before departure)
- Use Eco or Range mode when available
- Drive smoothly - avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking
- Use cruise control on highways for consistent speed
- Keep tires properly inflated
- Remove unnecessary cargo to reduce weight
- Use seat heaters instead of cabin heat in cold weather
- Plan routes to avoid extreme elevation changes when possible
