Range anxiety is something many drivers worry about. However, you won’t have to when you invest in a Honda EV. Although the automaker doesn’t currently have any pure EVs in its new vehicle lineup, in the 2024 model year you can expect the Honda Prologue to fulfill your need for a reliable, family-friendly SUV. Right now, the hybrid Honda EV range is perfect for Denver commutes, weekly errands, and weekend getaways to your favorite mountain, ski, or lake resort departing from Aurora.
When looking over the hybrid Honda EV range, it offers plenty of power for long drives, alleviating your worries about range anxiety. Find out why a Honda hybrid in your Parker driveway is a good investment for your wallet and your peace of mind with our guide from Holman Honda Centennial.
Your Honda EV’s range eliminates concerns for every trip you take. Examine our three-step strategy for maximizing your Honda EV range.
What is the range of Honda electric cars? Right now, there are two hybrid models available. You’ll save money on gas while still taking advantage of outstanding fuel economy and durability that Honda is known for.
What is the range of Honda electric cars? You’ll see that the magic number right now is around 300 miles. When the Honda Prologue comes out in early 2024, Honda has promised that the electric range will be comparable to the range of gasoline-powered SUVs currently in the lineup. When you consider the Pilot has a range of 522 miles and the CR-V has a 400-mile range, you could be in for a real treat!
As it stands, the CR-V hybrid gets about 500 miles before you need to fill your tank, while the Accord hybrid goes a whopping 615 miles for the EX-L trim!
Meanwhile, the Accord goes around 13 miles on electricity only if you purchase a trim with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) feature.
Once you invest in a Honda EV in your home, you can charge a PHEV or the Prologue EV with a Level 2 charging box. You can find public charging stations with this national map of charging stations from the U.S. Department of Energy. You can also use your vehicle’s GPS.
Consider detours and delays along your chosen route, like road construction, rush-hour traffic, or road closures. Plan for extra time if you have to take a longer route to a charging station. The good news is for the PHEV, once the battery runs out after 13 miles, you’ll automatically go to gasoline power until you can find a charging station!
How you drive affects your Honda EV range, much in the same way as a gasoline engine. Accelerate gradually and press the brakes slowly so you leave plenty of room between yourself and other cars. Drive at or below the speed limit.
The weather might affect your EV’s range. Extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures can decrease your Honda EV range. Consumer Reports states that the ideal outdoor temperature to maximize your Honda EV range is around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the temperature doesn’t just affect the battery chemistry. Running your air conditioning or heater on full blast when it’s very hot or frigidly cold might lessen the range. Use the heat or air minimally while still remaining comfortable as you drive for the best results in extreme temperatures.
