What's the range of an electric car?

Instead of miles per gallon (MPG), electric cars work on range.

The range is the distance it can travel when its battery is fully charged. For most cars, this is more than 200 miles.

The range can be affected by things like driving style, number of passengers and whether you use the car's features.

You’ll need to regularly charge your car to make sure you have enough range for your journey.
