The amount of range gained per time charging, charging speed, is the ratio of charging power to the vehicle's consumption, and its inverse is the charging time per driven distance:
The range—both in miles per charge and breadth of types of cars available—keeps getting better. Our Editors Have Unveiled Their Picks for the 2021 Popular Mechanics Electric Vehicle Awards ...
The Tesla Model Y is the first electric vehicle to become the world's best-selling car in 2023, outselling the Toyota Corolla. [1]Battery electric vehicles are vehicles exclusively using chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs, with no secondary source of propulsion (e.g., hydrogen fuel cell, internal combustion engine, etc.).
[145] [146] The Model 3 also was the most popular plug-in electric car in California in 2020 (38,580), as well as the state's best-selling car in the near luxury category. [147] The Model 3 has topped both California's and the U.S. national plug-in car sales for three years in-a-row, from 2018 to 2020.

The following table compares official EPA ratings for fuel economy (in miles per gallon gasoline equivalent, mpg-e or MPGe, for plug-in electric vehicles) for series production all-electric passenger vehicles rated by the EPA for model years 2015, [1] 2016, [2] 2017, [3] and 2023 [4] versus the model year 2016 vehicles that were rated the most efficient by the EPA with plug-in hybrid ...
Since building a PHEV with a longer all-electric range adds weight and cost, and reduces cargo and/or passenger space, there is not a specific all-electric range that is optimal. The accompanying graph shows the observed all-electric range, in miles, for four popular U.S. market plug-in hybrids, as tested by Popular Mechanics magazine. [143]
Cover of April 1924 issue, 25 cents ($4.34 in 2022) Popular Mechanics was founded in Chicago by Henry Haven Windsor, with the first issue dated January 11, 1902. His concept was that it would explain "the way the world works" in plain language, with photos and illustrations to aid comprehension. [5]
