Electric car range

The range you can expect to get from your electric vehicle battery may change depending on the season, as cold weather requires higher energy use in order to heat the battery coolant, and to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the vehicle.

According to insurance aggregator NimbleFins, who ran a test on several EV models available in the UK, the average electric car range is 212 miles.

Terms and Conditions

*WLTP Figures shown are for comparison purposes and should only be compared to the fuel consumption and CO2 values of other cars tested to the same technical standard. The fuel consumption achieved, and CO2 produced, in real world conditions will depend upon a number of factors including, but not limited to: the starting charge of the battery ; the accessories fitted (pre and post registration); variations in weather; driving styles; vehicle maintenance; lithium-ion battery age; speed; outside temperature; topography; use of electricity-consuming devices/units and vehicle load. These figures were obtained after the battery had been fully charged.

**You can obtain 15-80% of the vehicle charge in 30 minutes from a 100kW rapid charging station. The vehicle will rapid charge at a rate of up to 100kW, depending on the power of the rapid charging station used and will take longer to charge at a lower power. Rapid charging stations are available across the UK at various locations and their power rating varies, typically from 50kW and sometimes up to 350kW.
