Other factors like how you drive, temperature, altitude, and more affect the range of an EV. Range anxiety has become one of the biggest issues that deter average buyers from switching to EVs, the idea of running out of juice makes many folks hesitant. Plus, the additional time you need to spend charging your car on a road trip or adding distance to find charging stations can be a hassle. But some cars have ranges that are more than sufficient for the average person’s lifestyle of everyday commuting and the occasional road trip.
