It’s the one thing that holds people back from purchasing an electric vehicle: “What happens if my battery dies and I end up stranded?” That said, the comfort level with these cars has increased tremendously (with Tesla boasting 31.5 billion dollars in revenue in 2020). We have listed few of the Electric vehicles with the longest range for you.
Of the 2021 models of electric vehicles with the longest range, Tesla leads the pack with their aptly named Tesla Model S Long Range, which can go up to 412 miles on a single charge. Hot on its stylish tale is Ford’s Mustang Mach-E, coming in with 379 miles. The iX BMW is just behind, with 373 miles per charge.
Consistent charging habits can help your battery last longer. While charging routinely does not increase its range, it can at least help maintain it. Experts recommend maintaining a consistent charging schedule at home with a low-voltage wall charger to keep your batteries topped up and ready for a trip.
Compared to Tesla’s Supercharger, a low-voltage home charger puts less stress on your batteries. A consistent charging routine also helps slow down battery degradation. So it’s best to save the higher-voltage Superchargers for when you’re on the go and need to get back on the road.
Like cell phone batteries, experts recommend EV users avoid charging their EV batteries to 100%. Instead, you could charge it up to 90% for your daily drive. And on your way back home, ensure it does not fall below 20%, as that could aid battery degradation.
As more and more charging stations become available, the popularity of these eco-friendly rides will undoubtedly increase. For EV-loving Californians, there are 13, 325 station locations (and growing all the time). No other state even comes close. New York boasts 2,679 stations, while Texas has 2104 locales. Across the United States, 44,417 charging stations are ready to rev up your vehicle.
