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.

The system runs on battery power while a gasoline engine charges the battery by driving a generator. The strategy also includes luxury brand Genesis, with the GV70 seen as a likely early candidate. Hyundai is also aligning production plans around the United States and broader electrification targets through 2030.
