Formula
The EV Range Calculator uses the formula:
Estimated range = Battery capacity ÷ Energy consumption × 100
Worked example
For example, with battery capacity of 60 kWh and energy consumption of 16 kWh/100km, the estimated range is 375.
| Battery capacity | 60 kWh |
|---|---|
| Energy consumption | 16 kWh/100km |
| Estimated range | 375 |
|---|

Frequently asked questions
Divide the battery size by the consumption per 100 km and multiply by 100. A 60 kWh battery using 16 kWh/100km goes about 375 km.
Speed, weather, terrain, heating or cooling and driving style all change consumption, so real range varies from the estimate.
Cold reduces battery efficiency and cabin heating draws power, often cutting range by 20% or more.
Drive smoothly, keep tyres inflated, reduce speed and use eco modes to lower energy consumption.
