The Chevy Volt, the first plug-in hybrid on the U.S. market, gets about 35 miles on electricity alone, and can travel up to 375 additional miles on its gas tank before being recharged and/or refueled. The Honda Clarity fuel cell vehicle has an estimated range of 240 miles on a single tank of hydrogen.
For comparison, the average American drives about 30 miles per day, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. This is well under the maximum range of the battery and plug-in electric cars on the market today. And according to data from the Department of Transportation, the typical household has two cars, leaving most battery electric vehicle drivers with another option for longer trips. The range of conventional gasoline vehicles today is around 400 miles.
Temperature and driving style can also significantly affect how far the electric car can go on a single charge. A driver who speeds or who needs heat to stay warm or air conditioning to cool off will experience a smaller range.
Many new BEVs or PHEVs have additional features and driving modes to extend the range of the car while attempting to maximize the range of the battery, with pre-heating systems that warm the car while charging and before you leave for work and heated seats to warm you instead of the air. Volvo has been testing its PHEV V60 family sedan in the Arctic Circle in temperatures of -40 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure that the battery can withstand harsh temperatures in an effort to calm consumer fears.
