EV Range Calculator — Estimate Your Driving Range

Select your electric car and compare estimated range in different temperatures, speeds and driving conditions. Results are planning estimates, not measured road-test results.

Start with the 2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD, Model Y Long Range AWD, or browse the vehicle catalog.

Example: a car rated for 300 miles

These examples use the same model as the interactive tool, with no extra cargo and 100% battery health. They illustrate the calculation; they are not results from a specific vehicle test.

ConditionsEstimated full-charge range
Reference conditions: 70°F, 55 mph300 miles
Highway driving: 70°F, 70 mph269 miles
Cold highway, heat pump: 30°F, 70 mph203 miles

How the range estimate works

Starting range × temperature factor × speed factor × terrain factor × HVAC factor × cargo factor × battery health. The reference is 70°F, 55 mph, mixed terrain, heating off and no extra cargo. Battery health is applied as a proportional adjustment.

The coefficients are our simplified assumptions shared across models. They do not simulate a route, wind, rain, tire pressure, elevation profile or charging stops. EPA range is a standardized comparison, not a guarantee for a particular trip.

Learn about range and charging from FuelEconomy.gov. Compare the model-year label with your vehicle, and retain a reserve for unexpected conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this EV range calculator?
This is a planning estimate using a vehicle range rating and shared adjustment factors. It has not been validated to a fixed percentage accuracy for each model. Weather, tires, wind, elevation and battery temperature can produce different results. Leave a reserve and use your vehicle navigation for trip planning.
Is this range measured or calculated?
The starting range comes from the vehicle catalog. The adjusted range is calculated, not a road-test result. Shared temperature, speed, terrain, heating, cargo and battery-health factors are multiplied together.
Does the calculator include my current charge level?
The result represents a full-charge estimate. For a planning approximation, multiply it by the fraction of battery you intend to use. A 300-mile estimate with a window from 80% to 20% gives about 180 miles before your reserve. Actual usable range varies.
How does cold weather affect EV range?
Cold weather can increase energy used for battery conditioning and cabin heating. The effect varies by vehicle, trip length and weather. Compare heat-pump and resistive-heating settings, and precondition while plugged in when your vehicle supports it.
What do the battery units mean?
kWh measures energy stored or consumed. kW measures power, such as charging speed. A charging rate in kW is not the battery capacity in kWh.
