What factors affect the driving range of an electric vehicle?

EV range is affected by: Battery capacity (larger = more range), vehicle efficiency (weight, aerodynamics, rolling resistance), driving conditions (speed, acceleration patterns), climate control usage (heating significantly impacts range in cold), ambient temperature (battery efficiency varies), terrain (hills consume more energy), and accessory loads. Highway driving at high speeds typically reduces range compared to city driving due to aerodynamic drag increasing with the square of speed.
