Motorway at 100 km/h ~110 km
Winter, near freezing ~110 km
Towing a trailer ~76 km

Estimates from the official figure using typical losses: about a quarter off at motorway speeds or in cold weather, and around half when towing. Your range will depend on speed, hills, weather and load.

Charging times

Estimates from the battery size and the car’s peak charging rates. Fast charging slows as the battery fills, and in the cold, so real sessions vary.
