Frequently Asked Questions
Is EPA range the same as real-world range?
EPA range is a standardised test figure, not a guarantee. Cold weather, motorway speeds and heavy use of climate control can reduce real-world range noticeably below the EPA number.
Does battery size affect charging time as well as range?
Generally yes — a larger battery with more range usually takes longer to charge from empty to full, though charging speed (kW) also depends on the car and charger, not just battery size.
Why only 2020-onwards EVs?
EV range and efficiency have improved quickly generation over generation, so recent model years give a fairer picture of what's currently achievable.
