What does range mean in an electric car?
I’ve heard so much about range when shopping for an electric vehicle, and I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t even know what it is. What does range mean in an electric car?

Don’t be embarrassed—navigating the electric world can be confusing. Range refers to the distance an electric or hybrid vehicle can travel before running out of juice.
The average electric vehicle has a range of between 200 and 300 miles. As the charging infrastructure grows,
electric car
owners can expect to find more chargers in their cities. But many often worry about running out of range. When an electric vehicle runs out of range, you can expect a similar experience to running out of gas. Your car will stop, and you’ll need to contact roadside assistance. Some companies will charge your vehicle on the spot or tow you to the nearest charging station.
You can work out the details of your car insurance policy, like adding roadside assistance, on the
Jerry
app. After providing you with a comprehensive cross-analysis of the best policies across providers, Jerry will handle the phone calls, paperwork, and renewals for your top pick so that you don’t have to. Jerry can even help cancel your old policy! View full answer
