Electric vehicles don't rely on gasoline at all to help them move along. They run on electric power only, so all you need to do is keep the battery charged so that the electric motor can run.

Driving range largely depends on the model and driving habits. The upcoming electric Volvo XC40 Recharge has an electric driving range that is expected to hit up to 200 miles.
