An age-old saying for IC engines read, “there’s no replacement for displacement”, and in the case of EVs, the saying seems to stand true for range – “there’s no replacement for range”. While automakers are devoting resources to the development of high-energy capacity batteries which charge at super-fast speeds, the range still remains one of the most important factors when choosing the right EV.
