How this works
The calculator starts from the rated range Natural Resources Canada publishes for your version. Speed uses NRCan's separate city and highway energy figures, scaled for highway speeds. Temperature uses our heat-pump-aware winter factors, blended smoothly between 0°C and −20°C. Load, roof racks and battery wear each apply a further reduction. The factors are multiplied together, so treat the result as a guide that real driving can beat or miss by about 10%.
Questions
How accurate is this EV range calculator?
It starts from the official Natural Resources Canada rating for your exact version, then applies published research on speed, cold and battery wear. Treat the result as a guide that real driving can beat or miss by about 10%.
Why does my EV lose so much range in winter?
Cold slows the battery's chemistry and heating the cabin takes energy. EVs with a heat pump lose noticeably less. Most of the loss comes back when it warms up.
Does highway speed really matter that much?
Yes. Air resistance rises steeply with speed, so 120 km/h typically costs 10% to 20% more range than 100 km/h.
