How long can a 60km range last?
1 Answers
A range of 60KM means the vehicle can still travel 60KM. If driving at a speed of 60KM per hour, the vehicle can run for one more hour. If driving at a speed of 30KM per hour, the vehicle can run for two more hours. If driving at a speed of 10KM per hour, the vehicle can run for six more hours. In other words, how long a 60KM range can last depends on the real-time speed. Different speeds result in different durations. The above scenarios are purely theoretical; in actual usage, the displayed range is not accurate, and the actual distance traveled is generally less than indicated. Factors such as driving habits, battery capacity, total mileage, tire condition, load weight, and temperature all affect the range of an electric vehicle. Battery capacity is equivalent to the fuel tank of a gasoline car—the larger the capacity, the better the range. However, batteries also have certain size and weight constraints, and charging speed must be considered, so it's impractical to have an extremely large capacity. Additionally, as usage increases, battery capacity degrades and diminishes. When the capacity drops below 70%, a new battery is needed, and the battery typically accounts for about half the price of a new energy vehicle. Even for gasoline cars, the range of a full tank varies depending on road conditions. Driving at a constant speed on flat roads will maximize range, but real-world conditions involve various terrains, gradients, and slope lengths—all uncertain factors that objectively impact range. Battery lifespan shortens rapidly in low temperatures, with colder temperatures having a greater impact. In northern regions, especially in Northeast China and Xinjiang, where temperatures can drop to -20°C or lower, the actual range may not even reach half of the advertised distance.
