The range of an Electric Vehicle (EV) is the distance it can travel on a fully charged battery.
This range is influenced by several factors, including battery capacity (measured in kWh), the vehicle’s energy efficiency, driving conditions (speed, topography, temperature), and the use of energy-consuming systems like air conditioning. For heavy-duty vehicles, the typical range varies from 150 to 400 km, though some long-haul trucks may achieve greater distances with high-capacity batteries.
Range is a critical factor for trip planning and the adoption of electric mobility in passenger or freight transport, with technological advancements in batteries and energy management continually reducing constraints related to charging infrastructure.
