About price and battery range.

Vehicles in this guide are presented in order of price within their category. We have indicated multiple prices in cases where vehicles have multiple battery options or ranges. These are Manufacturer Suggested Retail Prices (MSRPs) and do not account for additional trim levels or options that increase price without affecting range. In some cases there are even more battery and price options within the range that we present, and higher MSRPs do not always correspond with higher ranges.

How far can an electric car Modern electric vehicles typically have a 300 to 600km go? range. Even better, fast charging stations are rarely more than 100km apart within a charging station network.

Are electric cars fast enough Absolutely! Electric motors are notorious for their high for highway driving? torque and instant power delivery. That means you’ll be surprised by how much kick an electric motor has. You’ll be pressed back in your seat, and you’ll have no trouble passing on the highway. Promise.

What about winter? While cold weather can affect the range of electric cars, these vehicles are proven to be, well, tough as winter. Some big cold-weather perks: Electric engines don’t struggle to turnover in the winter. They start in all conditions. And, you can preheat while plugged in without expensive idling.

How long does it take to It depends on the battery size of your car and what type of charge an electric car? charging station you are using. Generally, there are three different ways you can charge an electric vehicle:

Level 3 The fastest option. It’s also called a Direct Current Fast Charger (DCFC), or in the case of Tesla, a Supercharger. Charging times depend on several factors, such as the size of your car battery and the capabilities of your car. In most cases, you can charge to 80% in under an hour.

EV etiquette is important at fast charging stations. We recommend you limit your charging time to 30 to 40 minutes to minimize the waiting time for others who need to charge.

Level 2 These chargers are most often found and used at home, workplaces, malls and community centres—places where you leave your car for an extended period of time. They add 30-40km of range per hour.

Level 1 The slowest charge typically uses the vehicle’s “trickle charge” cable and a standard 110v wall outlet. At ~8km of range per hour, this method can be used to recover daily driving while at work or home.

Where can I find charging There are plenty in BC. The best way to find public charging stations? stations is by using charging station apps. They let you filter for station types, check charging station status in real-time, and see user feedback.   @emotivebc | emotivebc.ca
