EV 101 Episode 2: How Much Range Do I Need?

Range anxiety is real; no one wants to get stuck on the side of the road with a dead battery. Becoming an informed shopper can relieve some or all of those concerns. Take a deep breath and join Cars.com reviewer and Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman on a deep dive into all things related to electric vehicle range, including common range needs and factors that can impact an EV’s stated range. The big question most shoppers need to ask isn’t “How far can this EV go on a charge?” but “How much range do I actually need?” That depends on a couple of things, namely how far you typically drive, in what weather and road conditions you drive, and your access to public and home chargers.
