"AWD provides many of the same benefits in an EV as in a gas car...they also necessitate an extra motor sucking additional energy from the battery pack and making the car heavier, dealing a blow to range.

"With RWD, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 SUV earns an EPA range rating of up to 303 miles. Add on AWD for $3,500 and your estimated range drops to 266 miles...You still can find EVs that offer the best of both worlds...Tesla Model Y Long Range delivers delivers 330 miles of range and AWD. "
