How Far Can a 170 km Range Go?
2 Answers
It depends on the specific vehicle and the driver's operation. In summer with air conditioning on, the range is about 140 km, while in winter without air conditioning, it's around 120 km. Below is relevant information about vehicle mileage: Description of the odometer: The vehicle's odometer includes two roller counters driven by the same flexible shaft, which respectively record the trip mileage and the total mileage. The trip mileage usually has four digits for short-term counting and can be reset; the total mileage has six digits and cannot be reset. Vehicle mileage range: The continuous driving distance of a car with a full fuel tank under certain road conditions, generally 300-500 km for ordinary vehicles, while military vehicles usually achieve 600-800 km.
As an experienced driver with years behind the wheel, a 170-kilometer range might sound sufficient, but the reality often falls short. Laboratory tests are conducted under ideal conditions, such as maintaining a steady speed of 60 km/h and moderate temperatures. In real-world scenarios, driving at 120 km/h on highways consumes battery power quickly, potentially reducing the range by 20%, leaving you with around 140 km. Stop-and-go city driving consumes less power, but using air conditioning in summer or heating in winter can decrease battery efficiency by 10-20%, sometimes dropping the range below 130 km. Driving habits also play a crucial role; aggressive acceleration and hard braking waste energy, while smooth driving helps you get closer to the 170 km mark. I recommend keeping a 20 km buffer for daily use and reserving 10-15% for long trips to avoid the embarrassment of running out of power midway. Electric vehicle batteries degrade over time, so a 170 km range dropping to 150 km after three years is normal. Overall, with a 170 km range, it's safer to expect 140-150 km in real-world conditions—don't count on the full value.
