Electric cars have a lot of advantages over internal combustion-engined (ICE) models but the one thing that puts off many buyers is the range. Compared to ICE cars, their range – the distance they can travel between charges – is mostly lower. The best electric car models now provide an average quoted range of around 300 miles, while smaller and more affordable models can offer just 100-200 miles.
Your average ICE car is likely to give you closer to 400 miles, and with a diesel or petrol model you are always safe in the knowledge that a fuel stop is always close at hand. Electric cars not only have a shorter quoted distance but places to recharge are far less common. Certainly, if you want a fast charger, which leads to something we call range anxiety.
