What’s affecting your range

Everyday driving keeps you close to the rated range under typical conditions.

Mixed driving keeps you close to the rated range under typical real-world conditions.

Mild weather is ideal — Batteries perform best at 15–25°C with no heating or cooling load.

How we calculate

This calculator estimates real-world driving range by adjusting published vehicle range figures — drawn from manufacturer and authoritative third-party testing sources — for three factors that meaningfully affect battery efficiency:

Driving style — how gently or aggressively you drive
Trip type — city commuting, highway road trips, towing
Climate — ambient temperature and HVAC load

Adjustments are modelled on published research from a range of authoritative sources, including the U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho National Laboratory’s Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity, and the SAE tow-rating standard.

Appendix · Options

Category	Option	Description
Driving style	Relaxed	Gentle accel, max regen
	Everyday	Typical mixed driving
	Spirited	Brisk accel, some regen loss
	Aggressive	Hard accel, minimal regen
Trip type	City	Stop-start, regen recovery
	Mixed	Typical mixed driving
	Highway	Sustained speed, no regen
	Towing	Max load, high drag
Climate	Very Cold	Battery cold-soak, max cabin heat
	Cold	Reduced efficiency + heating
	Mild	Optimal battery temperature
	Warm	Light A/C load
	Hot	Sustained A/C + thermal mgmt

Estimates are intended to give a more realistic expectation than a published rating alone. Modifiers stack multiplicatively, which can lean conservative at extreme combinations. Actual range varies by vehicle, road conditions, terrain, and individual driver behaviour.
