Too Afraid to Ask

It’s how far a car that runs on electricity can go before it needs to be plugged in again. Think of it like the fuel tank size for a gas car, but for batteries.

Technical Definition

The maximum distance an electric vehicle can travel on a single full charge, typically measured in miles or kilometers. It depends on battery capacity, efficiency, driving conditions, and vehicle weight.
