That the electric car can no longer be thought away from Dutch roads should be obvious. There are more and more new models on the market with an ever-increasing range. This page lists the range of fully electric models and also a list of plug-in hybrid models.
Range of electric cars
The range of an electric car is the distance a car can travel on a full battery. The range is expressed in kilometres. The range of an electric car is determined by a number of factors, such as the size of the battery, the aerodynamics of the car and the driving style of the driver.
A bigger battery means a longer range. A car with good aerodynamics consumes less energy, increasing its range. An economical driving style, such as city driving, also increases the range.
The range of an electric car is an important factor when buying an electric car. If you drive a lot, it is important to choose a car with a large range.
