Abstract: We study the evolutions of selected quasi-(1+1) dimensional wavepacket solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation for a relativistic charged particle in uniform motion or accelerated by a uniform electric field in Minkowski space. We explore how good the charge density of a Klein-Gordon wavepacket can be approximately described by a Gaussian state with the single-particle interpretation. We find that the minimal initial width of a wavepacket for a good Gaussian approximation in position space is about the Compton wavelength of the particle divided by its Lorentz factor at the initial moment. This can be considered as a manifestation of relativistic length contraction, which is also observed numerically in the spreading of the wavepacket's charge density.
