EVs can go farther than EPA-rated range as driving habits make the difference
Some EV owners say their real-world driving range exceeds estimates set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, depending on speed, acceleration, regenerative braking and temperature. Drivers of Ford\'s E-Transit van reported summer ranges of about 140 to 150 miles versus an EPA rating of 116 miles, even with cargo. The EPA says it adjusts lab results downward to reflect real conditions, using correction factors and a combined city-highway weighting to produce its standardised estimate.

A new motor from Avinox, a DJI-affiliated startup brand, is seen as sparking fresh competition with strong output and a natural ride feel. The Verge said the Amflow PL Carbon Pro with the M2S motor offers intuitive, predictable power delivery that improves control and repeatability, even as price remains a limitation.
