What is the range of a pure electric SUV?
2 Answers
According to the official 70kWh battery pack capacity, the range of a pure electric SUV is approximately 341 kilometers. Definition of range: Range refers to the maximum driving distance after the vehicle is fully charged. The larger the battery pack capacity, the stronger the vehicle's energy storage capability, and the relatively longer the range. However, increasing the battery pack will inevitably increase the vehicle's weight, affecting overall performance and significantly raising production costs. Factors affecting range: The range value can only be used as a reference. In actual driving, factors such as driving style, weather conditions, and the number of electrical devices in use can all affect the vehicle's driving distance. A smoother driving style and minimizing the use of electrical devices can be very helpful in increasing the range.
I usually drive a pure electric SUV to commute, and the actual range isn't as good as advertised. Most models claim 400-500 km, but in city traffic with AC on, you can only get around 300 km. On highways with better conditions, it might reach just over 400 km. Batteries hate cold—in winter below zero, the range drops fast, losing dozens of kilometers is common. I drive a BYD model, charging every three days. Home slow charging is convenient, fully charged overnight. Long trips aren’t an issue either—just install a charging map app on your phone. Most highway rest stops have fast chargers, topping up half the battery in 30 minutes. When choosing a car, check real owner tests, not just official data. Brands like NIO or Tesla are more reliable but pricier. For daily commuting, they’re more than enough.
