The range of an electric car, such as this , refers to the maximum distance it can travel on a single charge of its battery. This can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and capacity of the battery (Spring Electric 45 : 27.4 kWh), the vehicle's weight ((Spring Electric 45 : 1030 kg)) and aerodynamics, and the driving conditions.The WLTP range cycle (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure) is a test procedure specifically designed to measure the range and consumption of an electric vehicle. It is done in variety of driving conditions, such as urban, suburban and highway driving , as well as air conditioning and heating usage.This test aims to provide a more realistic estimate of an electric vehicle's range than the previous testing method (NEDC), which was based on a single driving cycle.The longest range you can find amongst similar vehicles has Volvo EC40 Single Motor (X ), which is 262km more than the Spring Electric 45 - 487 km.
