How far can you drive an EV and why aren’t you buying these

If you love taking longer trips but want to buy an electric vehicle, chances are you’re no stranger to range anxiety. Range anxiety is the concern that your EV won’t have enough battery capacity to complete a journey, and it’s a fair one given the work-in-progress state of charging networks in North America.

Advertised range estimates for electric vehicles aren’t all that reliable. The real world has steep hills, fast-moving freeways, cargo and inclement weather, all of which can deal a blow to an EV’s supposed range. That’s why it can be incredibly enlightening to observe how an EV’s range holds up on actual roads. Some electric cars flop in real-world range tests, while others overshoot their manufacturer-advertised figures. In the case of the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST, one early test by YouTuber JerryRigEverything suggests that the truck meets its impressive range estimate—and then some.

But the government’s estimated range rarely reflects the real world, which is one of the reasons we developed our 75-mph real-world highway range test. As its name implies, this test aims to see just how far an EV will travel on a full charge at 75 mph.
