<description>&lt;p class="p1"&gt;This week, we share the results of Consumer Reports' EV Range Test. Find out which vehicles have the longest all-electric driving range, how CR's 70-mph highway range test differs from EPA range testing, and what happens when you completely deplete an EV battery while driving. We also explore our range-test methodology and answer a question about the evolution of vehicle headlights.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="p1"&gt;Join CR at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to access our comprehensive ratings for items you use every day.
