U.S. EV range just jumped 11% in a single year — and the fastest chargers now add 100 miles in under 10 minutes as old battery-fade fears fade

The average new electric vehicle sold in the United States can now travel roughly 30 more miles on a full charge than its predecessor from just one model year earlier. According to the EPA’s Automotive Trends Report, fleet-wide rated range climbed about 11 percent year over year, the largest single-year gain the agency has recorded […]
