What type of vehicle typically has an electric-only driving range between 150 and 400 miles?

• A. BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle)
• B. PHEV
• C. HEV
• D. ICE vehicle

Answer: (A)

Electric-only range comes from how large the battery is and how efficiently the vehicle uses that energy. A Battery Electric Vehicle relies entirely on a big battery pack for propulsion, with no gasoline engine to fall back on. Modern BEVs often deliver ranges around 150 to 400 miles on a full charge, depending on battery size, vehicle design, and driving conditions like speed and climate. That makes BEVs the type that matches the described range.

Plug-in hybrids also use a battery, but they include a gasoline engine to extend driving when the battery runs out, so their all-electric range is usually much smaller—often only in the tens of miles. Hybrid electric vehicles combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor but typically don’t provide a meaningful electric-only range. Internal combustion engine vehicles rely solely on fuel and have no electric-only range.
