Here’s What Autobahn Speeds Do To EV Range

• Sustained 124-mph driving cut the Audi Q6 E-Tron’s estimated range to just over 100 miles.
• The battery handled the run well, with a noticeable power reduction only appearing at 3% charge.
• High-speed range loss is a real EV weakness, but mostly relevant on Germany’s unrestricted Autobahn.

We know driving at high speed kills EV range, but usually we're dealing with tests conducted at 70 or 80 mph. What does range look like at 100 or 120 mph? In case you were wondering, a recent test on a stretch of Germany's speed limit-free autobahn offers up some answers.
