Range of an Electric Car

Life with an Electric Vehicle - How to Estimate your Driving Range in the Winter

If you are considering an electric vehicle, most likely you’ve heard the term “range anxiety” meaning the driver feels insecure about how far the electric car can drive in-between charging sessions. I own a 2018 Nissan Leaf which I love, but range anxiety is real. In this post, I will share how I estimate how many miles I can drive before I need to charge when the temperatures are less than 40 deg F. I also include real data from my own driving experiences in this 2019-2020 winter.
