Question 5

How far can an EV go on a full charge?

Accepted Answer

The distance an EV can travel depends on the model, but most can go between 250 and 350 miles on a full charge with mixed city and highway driving. EVs actually get more range in the city and less on highways. In cold weather, EVs can lose 20% to 30% of their range.

Question 6

How long does it take to charge an EV?

Accepted Answer

The charging time depends on where you charge. Most people charge at home using a 'level 2' charger, which takes 6 to 8 hours for a full charge. If you use a 'level 3' DC fast charger, charging times can vary depending on the model of the EV. Some of the fastest charging EVs aren't the most expensive ones. It's best to charge to about 80% and then keep going. Charging from 80% to 100% usually takes longer than charging from 10% to 80%. In 2025, fast-charging EVs can add 200 miles in just 20 minutes, while most others take 25 to 40 minutes.

Question 7

How much does it cost to charge an EV?

Accepted Answer

Charging at home or work is the cheapest option. Some employers even offer free charging. At home, it usually costs between $10 and $20 for a full charge, depending on electricity rates. If you can charge during off-peak hours, it might be even cheaper. Public fast charging is more expensive, sometimes even as much as gasoline. On average, DC fast charging costs about $0.45 per kilowatt-hour, which means it could cost $25 to $35 to charge an EV from 10% to 80%.

Question 8

What are the maintenance costs for an EV?

Accepted Answer

Most EVs come with an 8-year or 100,000-mile warranty that covers the battery, motor, and other major parts. EVs often last between 200,000 and 300,000 miles before needing a new battery. However, if the battery needs to be replaced outside of the warranty, it can cost over $15,000. Luckily, battery prices are dropping as more are made in North America, and better technology is being used. Old batteries don't always need to be fully replaced — they can sometimes be repaired or recycled for other uses, like storing energy.

Question 9

What's the difference between an EV and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV)?

Accepted Answer

EVs are fully electric, which means they don't have a gas engine. They run entirely on electricity from their battery. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) have both a gas engine and a small battery that can be charged for short trips using only electricity. Most PHEVs can drive 20 to 40 miles on electricity before the gas engine kicks in.
