EV range: City driving extends it, highway speeds cut it short

• EVs have longer city range due to frequent regenerative braking, which recovers energy during stops and starts.
• Lower average speeds in cities reduce wind resistance, decreasing power consumption and extending EV range.
• EV range decreases on highways primarily due to increased aerodynamic drag at higher speeds (80-100 km/h).
• Lack of frequent braking on highways minimizes the benefit of regenerative braking, preventing energy recovery.

Why It Matters: Understanding EV range differences helps optimize driving and purchase decisions.
