Battery capacities are approximate usable capacity. WLTP range is the manufacturer's claimed figure under standardised test conditions — real-world range varies with speed, temperature and driving style. Energy use (kWh/100 miles) is calculated from battery and range. Max DC is the vehicle's maximum DC fast charging speed — the charger must also support that speed. Data reflects models available in the UK as of early 2026 and is subject to change.
How to use this list with the calculators
Select your vehicle
Click "Select" next to any vehicle in the table above. This saves your vehicle's battery size, efficiency and charging speed, and automatically fills those values into every calculator on the site. Reference tables in the guides also update to show results for your specific vehicle. Your selection is remembered in your browser so it carries across pages and visits.
Custom vehicles
If your vehicle is not listed, open the My EV panel from the header and add a custom vehicle with your own battery size, efficiency and range figures. Custom vehicles work the same way — every calculator and reference table adapts to your specs.
Custom electricity rates
You can also set your own electricity prices in the My EV panel. If you know your off peak rate, EV tariff or public charging price, entering those values updates every calculator and comparison table across the site to reflect what you actually pay.
Default values
If no vehicle is selected, calculators use default values of a 100 kWh battery and 26 kWh per 100 miles efficiency, which represent a mid-to-large EV driven in mixed conditions. These defaults give a reasonable starting point for general comparisons.
Battery size ranges
Battery sizes in EVs available in the UK generally fall into these ranges.
| Type | Typical battery size | Typical WLTP range |
|---|---|---|
| Hatch | 30 – 64 kWh | 220 – 280 miles |
| Sedan | 53 – 87 kWh | 430 – 390 miles |
| Small SUV | 51 – 69 kWh | 320 – 300 miles |
| Medium SUV | 60 – 87.5 kWh | 428 – 350 miles |
| Large SUV / Ute | 75 – 112 kWh | 380 – 390 miles |
Ranges are approximate based on models available in the UK as of early 2026.
Frequently asked questions
Does a bigger battery always mean more range?
Not necessarily. Range depends on both battery size and how efficiently the vehicle uses energy. A smaller, lighter EV with a 60 kWh battery can sometimes match the range of a heavier SUV with a larger battery because it uses less energy per mile. This is why the energy use figure (kWh per 100 miles) matters as much as the battery size when comparing vehicles.
