Understanding Long-Range Performance

Long‑range performance depends on real‑world efficiency, usable battery capacity and—most of all—charging speed across the entire curve. We combine these factors using measured trips to estimate true total travel time, so you know how long a journey really takes—not brochure claims. The key questions are: How often will you stop? and How long will you charge for different distances?

Efficiency & Battery

Consumption and usable battery capacity set the baseline for how far you can drive between stops.

Charging Curve

Charging speed across the full SoC range determines how short your stops can be.
