EV4 highway range and real-world range

At a steady 120 km/h, we estimate the Kia EV4 Wind covers about 438 km on a full charge, versus 552 km rated.

EV4 highway range at 120 km/h

NRCan's tests show the Wind using 16% more energy on the highway than in the city, so highway range is lower the combined rating. NRCan's highway cycle averages well under 100 km/h, so we take its highway figure and reduce it by 15% for 120 km/h. The EV4 ranks #12 of 62 on this estimate.

EV4 real-world range

Real-world range depends on speed, temperature, wheels and load. Mixed driving in mild weather usually lands near the rated 552 km. Sustained highway speeds pull it toward the 438 km estimate, and a cold highway trip can drop it further; see the EV4 winter range. For trip planning, most drivers use between 10% and 80% (charging stops) or 100% (leaving home) of the battery, which is about 325 to 417 km of highway driving.
