The company plans to do it with a mixture of all-electric vehicles, like the new XC40 Recharge, and plug-in hybrid versions of its SUVs and sedans. The XC90 Recharge is an example of the second group. I got to see this a lot, since during our test week I took two 170-mile round trips to visit my family (in my COVID-19 bubble).

Tale of Two 2,000-mile EV Rural Road Trips A Two-Country Kia EV6 Experience Last year I set out to see what it would be like to take a couple of long road trips in a Kia EV6–one in the UK and the other in the U.S. Fortunately it’s becoming less of an issue now the newest EVs have a range of up to 300 miles on a full battery charge.

For the standard version, Tesla plans to use a battery that can recharge at a typical 220V outlet in about four hours. Nissan is working on an electric car that it says is on track to have a 100-mile range and 26-minute charge time. My parents live about 180 miles away, which is well outside the range of most electric cars.

BYD , for examples, says their 60 mile range-extended vehicle can add 30 miles of range in ten minutes. Please feel free to tell us what you believe to be the benefits of some of the various recharging modes mentioned above in the comments section below.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. Ive found it facinating how car commercials changed the main MPG number they promoted before gas went over $4 a gallon as city miles.
