About this listen

When shopping for an electric vehicle, one number dominates the conversation: range. But that number doesn’t mean what most people think it does.

In this episode, we break down why EV range numbers are so often misunderstood, how real-world driving changes what you actually experience, and why range anxiety is usually caused by bad assumptions — not bad cars.

We cover:

  • What EV range ratings really measure (and what they don’t)

  • Why highway driving reduces range more than city driving

  • How cold and hot weather impact battery performance

  • Why two EVs with the same rated range can feel completely different

  • The biggest mistake gas-car drivers make when switching to EVs

  • What to focus on instead of raw range numbers

EV range isn’t a lie — it’s just incomplete. Understanding how it works can completely change how you shop for and live with an EV.
