The range of an Electric Vehicle (EV) is the distance it can travel on a fully charged battery.
This range depends on several factors, such as battery capacity (expressed 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 range typically varies from 150 to 400 km, although some long-haul trucks may achieve more with high-capacity batteries. Range is a key criterion for trip planning and the adoption of electric mobility in passenger or freight transport, and technological advances in batteries and energy management are helping to reduce constraints related to charging infrastructure.
