Is an electric car right for me?

How far can an Electric Vehicle go?

Many people worry about how far an electric car can go on one charge and whether this will suit their driving habits, this is known as 'range anxiety'.  As electric cars become more popular and improvements are made in the size and storage of batteries, this is becoming less of a worry for some.

 You can currently expect between 150 and 350 miles of range from a fully charged electric car, depending on the model. 

The new ID.7 range depends on the model and the size of the battery. For example, a new ID.7 Pro Match Plus with a 77kWh battery can travel up to 380 miles*, while the new ID.7 Pro S Match Plus with a 86kWh model boasts a range of 434 miles*.

*All vehicles are tested according to WLTP technical procedures.
