Range in the real world
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 30 hadds about 10 km an hour
- Home wallbox (7 kW), 0–100%
- about 9 hadds about 40 km an hour
- 50 kW fast charger, 10–80%
- about 1 h 10 min
- Hyper charger (150 kW+), 10–80%
- about 1 h 10 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.
