Tesla’s Model 3, the most important car to come out in decades, has a
confirmed range of 310 miles, according to the Environmental Protection
Agency .
That figure applies to the long-range version of the Model 3, and echoes
the vehicle specs released by Tesla back in July
.
It also makes the Model 3 one of the most efficient passenger electric
vehicles on the market.
The EPA’s range is used as the advertised figure for electric vehicles
that are sold in the US. The 310-mile range is an estimate of the number
of miles the vehicle should be able to travel in combined city and
highway driving from a full charge. That’s 131 miles per gallon gasoline
equivalent (MPGe) for city driving, 120 MPGe on the highway, and 126
MPGe combined.
"one of the most efficient passenger electric vehicles on the market"
You’ll have to pay more to get that extended range, though. Tesla said
it would be selling a standard version of the Model 3, with just 220
miles of range, for $35,000. The long-range version will start at
$44,000, the automaker says. Production on the standard version isn’t
expected to begin until 2018.
Of course, that’s assuming you’ll be able to get /any/ version of the
Model 3 in the near future. In the last quarter, Tesla produced only 260
Model 3s; that’s about three cars a day and well behind a normal pace of
about one car per minute. Earlier this month, Tesla pushed back its
target for volume production on the Model 3 — widely seen as crucial to
the company’s long-term future — by about three months to fix production
bottlenecks.
Meanwhile, GM’s Chevy Bolt, the first battery-electric car to go on sale
with more than 200 miles of range
at a price of less than $40,000, has been increasing its sales each
quarter. Last September, Chevy delivered a whopping 2,632 Bolt EVs in
what is only the car's ninth full month on sale.
