How far can electric cars or EVs travel on one charge?
My husband and I are planning a long-distance trip with our brand-new electric Mustang Mach-E. How far can we travel on one charge, do you think?

EVs are great—and the
Mach-E
is a phenomenal-looking car. Today, EVs typically get
250-300 miles on a charge, although some models push that boundary to 350-400 miles, and at least one manufacturer is promising over 500 miles for its newest models. Always check your car’s manual to see what your manufacturer says about the range. In your case, for instance,
Ford
says the Mustang can get between 200 to 300 miles on one charge, which is average. How can I get the most mileage between EV charges?
- Drive at a consistent speed within the speed limit. Suddenly accelerating (unless you need to pass another car) and driving fast will increase the drain on the car’s battery.
- Learn how to use your vehicle’s regenerative braking. This can save up to 20% of your battery’s power. Regenerative braking systems are designed to recharge your car’s battery.
- Be conservative with the AC and heat. Producing cold and hot air eats up a lot of battery power. You should be comfortable, but understand the effects of keeping your car’s thermostat at extremes.
