Compare Range vs Price

What sort of range do you get for your dollars? The greater the distance above the trend line, the greater the value for money in terms of range.

This chart compares the price of new EVs (under $100,000) against their range.

Typically, the higher the price, the more range. The dotted line shows the general trend: EVs with more range cost more.

Some of the most popular EVs (MG ZS, BYD Atto 3, Tesla Model 3, and Hyundai Kona) sit well above the trend line.

Is this range accurate?

The range is from the WLTP standard as provided by the manufacturer. WLTP does not necessarily reflect the actual range you might achieve but is the only way to compare EVs.
