EV Range Calculator

Calculate how far your electric car will go on a full charge, based on battery capacity and consumption. Also see a more realistic range with a safety margin for cold weather.

Range
376 km
Based on a 64 kWh battery
With 10% margin (cold weather)
339 km
Consumption
17.0 kWh/100 km

How to use the EV range calculator

  1. Enter the battery capacity of the electric car in kWh — you'll find this in the car's specifications.
  2. Enter the car's consumption in kWh per 100 km. Use the average consumption from the car's trip computer for a more realistic figure than the rated value.
  3. The calculator shows the range on a full charge, plus a more conservative range with a 10% margin for cold weather and highway driving.

How the range is calculated

Range is found by dividing the battery capacity by the consumption per 100 km, then multiplying by 100:

Range (km) = Battery capacity (kWh) ÷ Consumption (kWh/100 km) × 100

With a 64 kWh battery and a consumption of 17 kWh/100 km, the range is 64 ÷ 17 × 100 ≈ 376 km.

Note: Real-world consumption often increases by 10–30% in cold weather, at high highway speeds, or with heavy load. The margin range gives a more realistic estimate for winter driving than the full-charge figure.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't the range match the manufacturer's WLTP/EPA figure?

Standardized tests like WLTP or EPA are run under controlled conditions and often give an overly optimistic picture. Real-world consumption is affected by temperature, speed, driving style, tires and load, and can differ significantly from the rated range.

Why is range lower in winter?

Cold reduces battery efficiency, and energy is used to heat the cabin and battery. Many EVs lose 20–30% range in cold winter driving compared to summer conditions.

How do I find my actual consumption?

Your car's dashboard or app usually shows an average consumption in kWh/100 km over a period. Use this figure in the calculator for a more accurate result than the manufacturer's rated figure.
