How far can an EV go on a full charge?

The answer to this question depends on a variety of factors, such as the specific vehicle, your driving habits, weather, and more. In general, electric vehicles can go hundreds of miles before needing to be recharged, with some getting up to 300 miles of driving range. While there are everyday factors that can affect efficiency, electric vehicles offer plenty of driving range to help you get around Los Angeles without having to worry about needing to make multiple stops to recharge.

How does weather affect driving range?

The battery in your electric vehicle isn't just responsible for moving you around town. It also powers the other electrical systems in your car, including heat and air conditioning. So, if you crank the AC on a particularly hot California day, you might find that your car can't go quite as far on a full charge because some of that power is being diverted to the air conditioning.
