Why has my electric car's range dropped?
Estimated range changes with driving and environmental conditions. Compare similar trips before assuming traction-battery degradation.
What it may indicate
- Range is lower than normal under comparable conditions
- Energy consumption per distance has increased
- The vehicle limits maximum charge or shows a battery warning
What to check
- Compare consumption, temperature, speed and climate-control use
- Check tire pressure and condition
- Request battery and thermal-management diagnosis if the reduction persists
When to prioritize an inspection
If the vehicle severely limits power or charging, displays a high-voltage battery warning or range drops suddenly, prioritize qualified inspection.
