What Does Range Mean?
1 Answers
Range refers to the maximum distance a vehicle can travel on a full tank of fuel at an economical speed. This is an estimated figure provided by the vehicle's instruments based on certain standards and calculations. For example, if a 50-liter fuel tank allows the car to travel 600 km, this distance is considered the range. Range can also be referred to as endurance, indicating the total distance a vehicle (such as a car or ship) can travel continuously with a substantial fuel reserve. For new energy vehicles, the maximum battery-supported range refers to the highest distance the vehicle can travel in pure electric mode, relying solely on the battery's charge. For hybrid vehicles, the maximum battery-supported range is typically shorter, usually not exceeding 10 kilometers.
