When modern all-electric vehicles were introduced in model year 2011, there were four models available with ranges spanning from 63 to 94 miles with a median range of 68 miles.
Over time, the number of models and the ranges of EVs have increased. By MY 2021 the maximum range for an EV had more than quadrupled to 405 miles on a single charge, while the median range was 234, according to the data released by the Department of Energy (DOE).
Note: Range is based on Environmental Protection Agency estimates
