How it affects range:
- Higher capacity = longer range: battery with more kWh can supply power to the electric motor for a longer distance before needing to be recharged
- Real-world range depends on other factors:Driving habits, terrain, temperature, vehicle weight, and speed can all affect how far you can go on a full charge.
- Usable capacity:Not all of the battery’s full capacity is available for driving. Manufacturers reserve a small portion to protect battery life.
In short, more kWh typically means more miles — but efficiency and usage conditions also play a big role.
