Plugged In Podcast: Range Finder 101
Postmedia journalist David Booth shares the range results, and methodology, of his unique EV highway tests

With the current crop of new electric vehicles exceeding at least 300 kilometres of full charge range, range anxiety during city driving is a thing of the past. That’s not the case on the highway, however, when a road trip exceeding three hours or so involves finding a charging station, plugging in and waiting for the battery to recharge.

For Postmedia Driving senior writer David Booth, six-hour road trips between Toronto and Montreal are almost a weekly occurrence, and as more and more of those excursions involve electric vehicles, he’s started to think — and study — the real world range of electric vehicles on the highway.
The results can be found in his new Range Finder column, where he’s discovered some surprising — and not so surprising — facts about how far these EVs can really go on a single charge, and how efficient — or inefficient — they are in doing it.
From Telsas to Porsches, from Fords to Volkswagens, he’s amassed quite a wealth of range information, and he shares his findings and thoughts on this week’s podcast.
