Can an EV travel just as far going 70 mph as it does going 30 mph?
Generally, the answer is no. The longer you travel at a high speed, the poorer mileage you will get in your EV. However, there are a number of variables to consider, most notably the amount you are braking; EVs have regenerative braking systems which recharge the battery through the act of braking.Typically, most EVs get about 4 miles per kWh. However, just as with gasoline-powered cars, this mileage varies according to car, battery, and, most notably, speed, weather conditions and types of driving and drivers (a pedal-to-the-metal driver will substantially reduce his or her mileage in any type of vehicle).
