HOW FAR CAN I DRIVE IN AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE?

If you use your electric car to travel around 30 miles a day, you will only need to charge it around

When it comes to conserving energy, the heater and air conditioning systems can make a big difference to your vehicle’s range. The outside temperature can also sometimes affect the electric car’s range.​
