How to Use This Calculator

Enter your EV's rated range or battery capacity, then adjust for real-world conditions like temperature, driving speed, and terrain. The calculator estimates how far you can actually drive on a full charge. Cold weather is the single biggest factor that reduces EV range — expect 20–40% less range in freezing temperatures.

Tips

  • Cold weather (below 32°F) can reduce EV range by 20–40% due to battery chemistry and cabin heating.
  • Highway driving at 70+ mph uses significantly more energy than city driving at moderate speeds.
  • Pre-conditioning your cabin while plugged in helps preserve range in extreme temperatures.
