While manufacturers focus on improving aerodynamics and battery capacity, Marcus Zacher of Elektroautomobil highlights driver behaviour as the key factor influencing EV range, especially at motorway speeds where air resistance becomes a critical variable.
Electric-vehicle range is often treated as a question of battery size, but Marcus Zacher, editor-in-chief of the specialist magazine “Elektroautomobil”, argues that driving style remains the biggest variable. Manufacturers continue to improve aerodynamics and efficiency, yet the driver still has considerable control over how far a charge will go, particularly at motorway speeds where air resistance rises sharply as speed increases.
