A full charge can only travel about 100-200 kilometers. The following is the extended content about electric vehicles:1. New energy dual-fuel vehicles - oil-electric hybrid vehicles (low-end entry-level cars): The throttle engine has a simple structure, small power, weak power, slow speed, and high failure rate.2. New energy dual-fuel vehicles - oil-electric hybrid vehicles (high-end and mid-to-high-end cars): Currently mainly mastered by several major foreign car manufacturers due to technical reasons. The price of 200 in China is as low as 300,000, but the chassis sound insulation is poor. Moreover, the future maintenance costs are very high, and the savings will be eaten up by the maintenance fees.3. New energy dual-fuel vehicles - natural gas vehicles (gasoline and natural gas): High combustion temperature, prohibited in some dangerous areas, easy to damage the engine, weak power, inconvenient refueling and gas storage, taxis need to refuel 2-3 times a day, combustion is not environmentally friendly and other issues.

How far can an electric car go on a single charge? It depends on the model and driving habits. For example, my family's electric car has a battery capacity of about 60 kWh. Driving on city roads for daily commutes, it can reach around 350 km. On highways, driving faster increases wind resistance and energy consumption, reducing the range to about 280 km. Using air conditioning in summer doesn't have a big impact, but in winter, the battery's performance drops, reducing the range to below 300 km. Choosing a model with a larger battery, like some Tesla variants, can achieve over 500 km on a single charge. The key is to drive smoothly, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking. Real-world driving conditions vary, so it's safer to consider the official range data and apply a discount when purchasing. New cars often come with smart monitoring, making it convenient to check the remaining range in real-time via an app.

Having driven an electric car for over two years, I find the range quite reliable. A full charge typically lasts nearly 400 kilometers on urban roads with ease, making weekend short trips with family hassle-free. On highways, energy consumption increases faster, requiring consideration of charging station locations after driving a little over 100 kilometers. My car is the standard range version, officially rated at 500 kilometers but practically achieving 450 kilometers. In cold weather, the range noticeably drops to about 350 kilometers at sub-zero temperatures, with further energy consumption when using the heater. Charging overnight in my home garage with slow charging costs just a few cents per kilometer. For daily commutes of 50 kilometers, charging once a week is sufficient, and planning charging stops for long trips helps avoid range anxiety.

Let's do the math. A single charge can cover about 400 kilometers. Home charging costs just a few cents per kilowatt-hour, so fully charging a 60 kWh battery costs around 30 yuan. That translates to less than 0.1 yuan per kilometer. In contrast, driving a gasoline car costs over 60 yuan per 100 kilometers, totaling more than 240 yuan for the same distance. The difference is huge, especially for daily commutes where the savings add up significantly. The longer the range, the more you save—some new models can go 500 kilometers on a single charge costing only 40 yuan. Don’t worry about long trips either; highway rest stops have plenty of charging stations where a 30-minute charge can get you hundreds of kilometers. Compared to gasoline cars, the maintenance costs are much lower, and you avoid the hassle of fluctuating fuel prices.

Wondering how far you can go on a single charge? Several factors come into play. Lighter car models with lower wind resistance can travel farther. I maintain a steady driving habit, avoiding sudden acceleration and keeping a constant speed of 90km/h, which significantly improves range. Keeping tire pressure at the recommended level reduces rolling resistance. Preheating the battery in cold weather can boost efficiency by 5%-10%. Most modern electric vehicles come with energy recovery systems that recharge the battery when going downhill, extending the range. Most mid-range models can achieve 350-500 kilometers under normal driving conditions. When choosing a car, just check the battery capacity indicators and consider your own needs. For more accurate estimates, use a range-recording app to track actual driving data.
