When discussing electric vehicles, you can use a single question word to ask about range, battery capacity, and charging times: **ne kadar**.

### Asking "How much?"

**Ne kadar** literally means "what amount" and translates to "how much." Place it at the end of a sentence to ask about a total, or directly before a noun or adjective.

### Asking "How long?"

**Ne kadar** also asks for amounts of time ("how long"). Pair it with **zaman** (time) to ask "how much time," or with a verb like **sürmek** (to take / to last) to ask about duration.

### Talking about Percentages

To answer questions about battery life, you need percentages. The word for percent is **yüzde** (literally "in a hundred"). Unlike English, you always state **yüzde** *before* the number.
