What EV Driving Range Do You Actually Need? The Truth About Range Anxiety

Range anxiety is one of the most cited reasons people hesitate to switch to an electric vehicle. But how much range do you actually need? The answer is less than most people think — and understanding this can transform how you think about EV ownership and charging.

What Does the Data Say?

Studies consistently show that the average Israeli driver covers between 40–60 km per day. Even the most modest modern EVs offer 250–300 km of real-world range — meaning most drivers could go 4–6 days without charging at all. With overnight home charging, the daily range concern essentially disappears.

Range vs Charging Infrastructure

A higher-range EV costs more to buy and more to manufacture. If you have reliable home or workplace charging, a 300 km range vehicle is almost always sufficient — and significantly cheaper than a 500+ km range model. The key is not maximum range, but reliable access to charging when you need it.

Greems solves it by ensuring your EV is always charged when you need it — through smart home charging management, workplace charging, and fleet-wide visibility. When drivers know their car will be charged every morning, range anxiety stops being a factor in their daily lives.
