New Subaru EV Mileage Explained

Explore EV Range at Subaru Pacific

Electric vehicles are growing more sophisticated every year, which means that they can offer you greater range to help you get more out of your adventures before you need to recharge. So, what is the realistic mileage for a new EV? It largely depends on the vehicle and a few other factors, but the typical electric vehicle can go well over 200 miles on a full charge. Many models are even able to exceed their EPA-estimated range, making them excellent choices if you're looking to get the most out of every mile you drive around Hawthorne and Los Angeles. Explore our new inventory to get a closer look.

What affects EV range?

Aside from the vehicle itself, there are a few factors that can impact the realistic range of your EV. The most obvious one is the battery. The capacity and condition of your EV's battery play a major role in how far your vehicle can go before it needs to recharge. Your driving style can also play a part, as habits like going hard on the accelerator can hamper efficiency.

The condition of your tires is also important, as driving with improperly inflated or worn tires can negatively impact driving range. Additionally, you might experience shorter driving range if you routinely drive around with heavy cargo.

How does weather impact EV driving range?

Air conditioning and heat can also factor into EV range. These systems draw power from the battery, so their use could draw some power from your battery that might otherwise be used for maximum range. So, if the weather is especially hot or cold, routing battery power to your climate control systems could affect how far you can go on a charge. Wind can also cause drag.
