Range anxiety is widespread among people who own and drive an electric vehicle. Range anxiety is the fear that an electric car has short range on a fully-charged battery for motorists to complete their journey.
The range that an EV can travel on a single charge depends on several factors, including the battery’s size and capacity, the vehicle’s efficiency, and driving conditions. The concern about the range has steadily risen as more demand for EVs grows. How far will electric vehicles go with one charge?
Adviseable range for EVs
The best electric cars all get more than 200 miles on a charge. The 200-plus miles found in many of today’s electric vehicles provide all the driving range people need.
Below are the popular electric vehicles that offer more than 200 miles per battery charge:
● Audi E-Tron: 204 miles

The lack of charging infrastructure is often the reason for EV drivers’ range anxiety.
To address the range anxiety constantly faced by EV drivers, the state of California partnered with companies like EVGo. The EVgo network can provide a power of either 100kW or 350kW to four EVs at once. Remarkably, EVs can receive an 80% charge at the station in just 15 to 45 minutes.
