sõiduulatust

Sõiduulatust refers to the total distance a vehicle can travel on a single charge of its battery. This term is most commonly used in the context of electric vehicles (EVs) and other battery-powered transportation, such as electric scooters and bicycles. The sõiduulatus is a critical factor for consumers when considering the practicality and usability of an electric vehicle, as it directly impacts how far they can travel before needing to recharge.

Several factors influence a vehicle's sõiduulatus. These include the capacity of the battery, typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), with larger capacities generally allowing for greater distances. The efficiency of the vehicle's powertrain, including the electric motor and regenerative braking system, also plays a significant role. External conditions such as ambient temperature, driving style (acceleration, braking, and speed), terrain (hills versus flat roads), and the use of auxiliary systems like heating and air conditioning can also affect the achievable sõiduulatus. Manufacturers often provide an estimated sõiduulatus based on standardized testing cycles, such as the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) or EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) ratings. However, real-world sõiduulatus can vary considerably from these official figures.
