IDC vs True Range in Electric Vehicles Explained: You should know this before buying an EV in 2025!
Are you planning to buy an electric scooter or car in 2025? Then you must understand the difference between IDC Range and True Range before making that big decision. In this YouTube Short, we explain in simple terms what “IDC Range” (Ideal Driving Conditions) means and why it’s often much higher than the “True Range” you actually get during real-world usage.
IDC Range is calculated under lab-tested, perfect conditions with no traffic, low load, and constant speeds. However, once your EV hits Indian roads — with stop-go traffic, passengers, slopes, and AC usage — the real performance drops, sometimes drastically. That’s where the True Range comes in — a more honest metric showing the distance your electric vehicle can actually travel per charge.
Understanding this key difference helps you avoid range anxiety, choose the right battery pack, and make better EV buying decisions. Whether you’re considering the latest TVS iQube, Ather 450X, Ola S1 Pro, or Tata Nexon EV, knowing the true range helps you match your EV with your daily travel needs.
