Quick answer
Real EV range is battery capacity divided by consumption, reduced by cold weather and speed.
Range = usable kWh ÷ kWh per mile
How to use the EV Range Calculator
- 1Enter battery capacity in kWh.
- 2Enter consumption in kWh per mile.

Frequently asked questions
How much range does cold cost?
10–25% below freezing, mostly from cabin heating.
Why keep a reserve?
Charging above 80% and below 10% is slow and stresses the pack.
