When shopping for an electric vehicle, one number dominates the conversation: range.
But that number doesn’t mean what most people think it does.
In this episode, we break down why EV range numbers are so often misunderstood, how real-world driving changes what you actually experience, and why range anxiety is usually caused by bad assumptions — not bad cars.
We cover:
What EV range ratings really measure (and what they don’t)
Why highway driving reduces range more than city driving
How cold and hot weather impact battery performance
Why two EVs with the same rated range can feel completely different
The biggest mistake gas-car drivers make when switching to EVs
What to focus on instead of raw range numbers
EV range isn’t a lie — it’s just incomplete.
Understanding how it works can completely change how you shop for and live with an EV.
