What's Happening to Range Anxiety? New EVs Offer More Miles

The term “range anxiety” began fading into the rear view mirror
recently, as major automakers made announcements about longer-range,
battery-powered cars.
General Motors said its anxiously-awaited Chevy Bolt will churn out a
surprising 238 miles on a charge when it reaches production later this
year. And Tesla Motors announced the release of its Model S P100D with
Ludicrous mode, which offers an astounding all-electric range of 315
miles. That’s the best ever by a major automaker’s electric vehicle.
Meanwhile, Tesla continues to work on its lower-cost Model 3 EV, which
it says will offer a range of more than 200 miles.
At the same time, Ford, Hyundai and Volkswagen are preparing to make
electric vehicle announcements for the 2017 model year.
How do those compare with the rest of the auto industry? From the Bolt
and the Leaf to the Model S Ludicrous mode, we offer a peek at the
current crop of new battery-powered cars, along with their all-electric
ranges, so you can judge for yourself.
