EV Range Calculator

Estimate how far your EV will actually go in km - adjusting for temperature, driving speed, and style, which all cut into the certified range figure.

How range is estimated.

Ideal Range = Usable kWh × Efficiency (km/kWh) Real Range = Ideal × Temp × Speed × Style factors Effective km/kWh = Real Range ÷ Battery kWh

Charging to only 80% is recommended for daily use to preserve battery life - DC fast-charging also slows dramatically above 80%.

Frequently asked questions.

How much does hot weather and AC reduce EV range in India?

Heavy air-conditioning use in Indian summer heat can cut range 10-20%. Unlike cold-climate markets, most Indian EV owners see their biggest range hit from AC load rather than cold-weather battery inefficiency - though winters in the north can still reduce range somewhat.

Does highway driving use more energy than city?

Yes - unlike petrol cars, EVs are most efficient in stop-start city driving thanks to regenerative braking. Sustained highway speeds above 100 km/h can cut range 15-20%.

Should I charge to 100%?

For daily driving, most manufacturers recommend charging to 80-90% to extend battery lifespan. Save 100% charges for long trips.
