Is 200 miles enough range for electric cars?
I don’t drive that much since I work from home, and I’ve been looking at some used EVs like the 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf. It doesn’t have a huge range, and I’m wondering if I get a car close to a 200-mile range, if it will be enough to benefit from having one? I’m worried about it running out of juice when I’m on the road. Is 200 miles enough range for electric cars?

Range anxiety is a real thing!
Battery range
is one of the most important factors buyers look for when buying a new EV. While many drivers prefer a vehicle with a 300+ miles range, you’ll be happy to know that 200 miles is sufficient for everyday driving and short road trips.Here’s what we know about a 200-mile range for electric cars:
- Most Americans drive between 60 and 90 miles per day.
- The** benchmark** for most EVs is a 200-mile range, however, some ranges go as low as 124 miles found in the Hyundai Ioniq Electric.
- About 15% of people would be satisfied with a 200-mile range, while more than half of the general population would want a car with a 300-mile range.
Now that you can make an informed decision about the right amount of range for you, make sure you’re also informed about the best car insurance on the market. Most of us are overpaying for our policy every month and have no idea!
