How far can a small electric car go?

I know EVs have a limited range, so I’m trying to see which vehicles have the farthest driving range. How far can a small electric car drive?

Every car whether electric or traditional fuel has a specific driving range. Smaller cars have smaller battery packs and an average range is about 100 to 200 miles
EVs are best suited for city driving with their low emissions, quiet motors, and regenerative braking. Small EVs are similarly agile, especially when making sharp turns or tucking into smaller parking spaces. While they are usually more economical, a smaller car means a smaller battery and hence less driving range.
The small EV list by Auto Express UK has vehicles that range from the economy Fiat 100 of 115 miles to the Renault Zoe at 245 miles. Most drivers don’t drive the full available battery range in a day of car use so these economy cars make great vehicles.
