The typical range of electric vehicles (EVs) has expanded, thanks to advancements in battery technology spearheaded by manufacturers and EV battery providers. However, similar to any comparison, there will invariably remain some differences.
Electric vehicle with the poorest range
.
A number of factors could explain why an electric vehicle might have the poorest range. For starters, some basic models are crafted to attract buyers looking for affordable options, making substantial investments in bigger batteries unfeasible due to cost constraints. Other vehicles may lack sufficient internal space to accommodate sizable power cells capable of delivering adequate travel distances. Additionally, certain EV designs prioritize being classified as city cars, focusing on urban mobility instead of longer journeys where their reduced ranges become less problematic. These explanations often coexist within lower-priced segments of the EV market, contributing collectively to this issue.
It turns out that there is an electric vehicle claiming the dubious distinction for having the shortest driving range in 2025. The car in question is the 2025 Fiat 500e. Let’s take a more detailed look at this fact.
