Range in the real world

Official (WLTP) 360 km
Motorway at 100 km/h ~270 km
Winter, near freezing ~270 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.

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.

Charging at home$14.48$1,740
Public fast charging$23.08$2,770

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.
