How far an electric vehicle can go before recharging
Answer:
RANGE
Hint:
Think of the term used to describe the maximum distance a car can travel on a full tank—or in this case, a full battery. It’s often listed in miles on an EV’s specs.
Explanation:
This clue is asking for the term that describes the maximum distance an electric vehicle (EV) can travel on a single charge. The answer is "RANGE," which is the standard word used in automotive and tech discussions to measure EV battery capacity in miles or kilometers. There’s no wordplay here—it’s a straightforward definition, like how you’d talk about a car’s fuel efficiency but for electric power. Think of it as the EV equivalent of "miles per gallon" for gas cars.
