Electric automobiles have become the symbol of a silent revolution in the automotive world. Today, there is another criterion as important as performance, comfort, and sustainability: range.
For drivers, the definition of freedom is being reshaped by the question: "How far can I go on a single charge?"
This transformation is now clearly felt in the Turkish market as well. From the premium segment to compact SUVs, many models are making long range not just a technical data point, but a guarantee of a comfortable and uninterrupted driving experience.
What is WLTP?
WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) is an international standard test method used to measure vehicles' fuel consumption, energy efficiency, and range values.
For electric vehicles, the WLTP test simulates how far the vehicle can travel on a single charge (its range).
This test is conducted under real-world-like conditions that include a mix of urban, extra-urban, and highway driving.

Why Does Range Decrease in Electric Vehicles?
Electric vehicles stand out as the cars of the future with their silent driving experience and low operating costs. However, many drivers start to ask the question "why is the range decreasing?" over time.
In reality, range decrease is not a structural defect of the electric vehicle, but a normal situation that occurs as a result of the battery's natural chemical aging process and the effect of usage habits.
1. Aging of Battery Cells Over Time
Like all lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicle batteries lose some capacity with each charge-discharge cycle.
This process is generally slow and controlled: On average, after 8–10 years, a decrease of about 5–10% of total range is observed. In other words, a vehicle with 600 km range can still travel approximately 540–570 km over the years.
2. Extreme Heat or Cold Weather
Batteries work most efficiently within a certain temperature range. In cold weather, cell resistance increases, energy transfer becomes difficult, and range decreases.
In extreme heat, cooling systems activate and energy consumption increases. Therefore, seasonal conditions are one of the factors directly affecting range.
3. Charging Habits
Constantly charging to 100% or frequently dropping the battery below 10% reduces cell health in the long term. The most ideal usage range is: 20% – 80% charge level. Usage in this range keeps battery chemistry balanced and extends range life.
4. Driving Style and Speed
Sudden accelerations, long-duration driving at high speeds, and aggressive regenerative braking increase the battery's energy demand. Calm, steady-speed, and smooth driving can increase range by an average of 10–15%.
5. Fast Charging Usage
DC fast charging stations provide great convenience on long journeys, but can create heat accumulation in the battery due to high current. When this situation is repeated frequently, it can shorten the chemical life of the cells. Experts recommend AC charging for daily use and DC charging for long distances.
