How far can an electric car go? Range of the models sold in Türkiye (2026)
The WLTP range of the 71 electric car models sold in Türkiye in November 2026 is between 301 and 818 km depending on the version; across the longest-range versions of the models, the median is 516 km. In real-world use, expect about 80% of that: a median electric car goes about 420 km in mixed use and about 320 km on the motorway in winter.

Short answer
On a single charge, an electric car goes between 300 and 820 km by the official WLTP figure, depending on the model. For half of the models sold in Türkiye, the longest-range version goes more than 516 km.
In real-world use, expect about 80% of WLTP in mixed driving and 60–65% on the motorway in winter. So a car with 500 km WLTP goes about 400 km in daily use and about 310 km on the motorway at 120 km/h in winter.

How far does an electric car go in winter?
In the cold, battery chemistry slows down and cabin heating uses energy; the loss is bigger on short trips. In independent Green NCAP tests, mixed-use range fell from mild weather to cold winter from 410 km to 289 km for the Volvo EX30, from 322 km to 219 km for the Hyundai Inster and from 436 km to 289 km for the Kia EV9; that is, by about 30–35%.
A heat pump, pre-conditioning (heating the cabin while the car is charging) and relying on seat and steering wheel heating reduce the winter loss.

What affects real range?
- Speed: at 120 km/h, air resistance uses far more energy than in town; unlike petrol cars, electric cars are more efficient in town.
- Temperature: range shortens in the cold and in great heat (air conditioning).
- Wheels and tyres: large wheels and wide tyres reduce range; brands give different WLTP figures for the same version depending on wheel size.
- Load and gradient: a fully loaded boot, a trailer and constant climbing increase consumption.
- Driving style: hard acceleration increases consumption; regenerative braking and anticipatory driving extend range.
How is range calculated?
Range (km) = Usable battery (kWh) ÷ Consumption (kWh/100 km) × 100. For example, with a 60 kWh battery and consumption of 16 kWh/100 km: 60 ÷ 16 × 100 = 375 km.
Consumption measured by ADAC including charging losses is about 16–20 for small and compact cars and around 22 kWh/100 km for large SUVs: Hyundai Inster 15.9, Kia EV3 17.1, Volvo EX30 19.5, Kia EV9 22.2 kWh/100 km.

Frequently asked questions
- How far can an electric car go?
- The WLTP range of the models sold in Türkiye is between 301 and 818 km; the median is 516 km. In real-world use, expect about 80% of WLTP in mixed driving and 60–65% on the motorway in winter.
- How far does an electric car go in winter?
- In independent tests, mixed-use range in cold winter weather falls by about 30–35% compared with mild weather. A car with 500 km WLTP goes about 310 km on the motorway in winter.
- Which electric car has the longest range?
- Among those sold in Türkiye, the longest WLTP range belongs to the Mercedes-Benz EQS (818 km) and the BMW iX3 (805 km). Among more affordable models, the Togg T10F Uzun Menzil (Long Range, 623 km) and the Kia EV3 Long Range (604 km) stand out.
- How is an electric car's range calculated?
- Divide the usable battery capacity (kWh) by consumption per 100 km (kWh/100 km) and multiply by 100. With 60 kWh and 16 kWh/100 km, that is about 375 km.
