Combustion cars tend to be more efficient in highway driving. But with EVs, that picture can be inverted. Electric vehicles perform well in stop-and-go city driving, where they idle efficiently and replenish their batteries with regenerative braking. It’s on the highway where some (but not all) EVs struggle to hit their range numbers. For example, the Kia EV9 GT-Line AWD is rated for 270 miles but earned just 240 miles in Car and Driver 75 mph highway testing.

How To Maximize An Electric Car's Highway Range

Despite a parade of electric vehicles that can travel more than 300 miles on a charge, range anxiety remains a major hurdle to widespread adoption particularly in the US. There is, however, a “no-duh” antidote to allay fears of being stranded mid-trip: put a charger on the car. While traditional hybrid vehicles use gas to turn the wheels, a new crop of cars are burning it exclusively to charge a large onboard battery. It’s a strategy one might expect from an 8-year-old’s brainstorm, and it’s not a particularly efficient solution or a cheap one. But in an age of janky charging infrastructure and fraught, polarizing politics, electric motors juiced by an onboard, gas-sipping generator could be a killer EV app.
