How long can a 60km range last?
3 Answers
A range of 60KM means the vehicle can still travel 60KM. If driving at a speed of 60KM per hour, the car can run for one more hour. The actual duration depends on real-time speed. In practical use, the displayed range is not accurate, and the actual distance traveled is usually less than shown. To improve range, follow these tips: 1. Maintain medium-low speed. 2. Drive at a constant speed. 3. Reduce vehicle load. 4. Avoid sudden acceleration or braking during the trip. Note: The maximum battery-supported range refers to the highest distance the vehicle can travel in pure electric mode relying solely on battery power.
As a city commuter who drives frequently, I always pay attention to car data. A 60-kilometer range might not sound like much, but how long it actually lasts depends on driving speed. On urban roads, with an average speed of about 30 km/h, covering 60 kilometers would take two hours. However, if I speed up to 80 km/h on the highway, it might be over in just one hour. But the actual range rarely reaches the nominal value, as using air conditioning or frequent braking shortens the distance—sometimes it’s only 50 kilometers. Road conditions also have a big impact; in heavy traffic, with speeds dropping to 10 km/h, the battery or fuel could be drained in six hours. My advice is not to drive too fast and maintain steady throttle control to extend the range a bit longer.
From a family car perspective, the 60-kilometer range is quite practical for our daily commute and child transportation. The actual driving time depends on speed: driving at 40 km/h in suburban areas would take about an hour and a half to complete the full range. However, weather and driving habits are crucial factors. Using heating in winter or air conditioning in summer can significantly reduce the range, potentially requiring earlier recharging or refueling. Our family car is usually driven at a leisurely pace, so the battery or fuel consumption stays close to the nominal value. But aggressive braking and acceleration can be quite taxing. Overall, it's sufficient for short-distance travel, being both economical and convenient.
