Range in the real world

Official (WLTP) 480 km
Motorway at 100 km/h ~360 km
Winter, near freezing ~360 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

Wall socket (10 A), 0–100%
about 33 hadds about 15 km an hour
Home wallbox (7 kW), 0–100%
about 10 hadds about 45 km an hour
Public AC (22 kW), 0–100%
about 7 hadds about 65 km an hour
50 kW fast charger, 10–80%
about 1 h 5 min
Hyper charger (150 kW+), 10–80%
about 30 min

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.

Running costs

Per 100 kmPer year
Charging at home$13.60$1,630
Public fast charging$21.10$2,530
Petrol car, for comparison$24.85$2,980

At the official energy use (real-world use is usually higher), home power at 40c/kWh, public fast charging at 90c/kWh and road user charges of $76 per 1,000 km, over 12,000 km a year. The petrol car uses 7 L/100 km of 91 at $3.55 a litre. Your power plan may be cheaper, especially overnight.
