real range
The real range of an electric car is what you can actually drive on a daily basis, well beyond the advertised WLTP value. Temperature, speed on the motorway, terrain, heating/air conditioning, type of tyres, onboard charge… everything can significantly affect the range.Here, we gather our road tests, user feedback, and practical guides to understand the discrepancies, estimate your range based on your profile (city / mixed / motorway), and optimise consumption in daily use. The goal: to choose the right model and avoid unpleasant surprises, whether you’re driving short trips, long distances, or for family use.
