1,036 km (644 miles) on a single charge under China’s CLTC testing standard.
Does anyone know how realistic this range is? You can get some absurd range from a vehicle if you’re driving on a closed course at 60kmh with no air conditioning or entertainment.
1000km range is fucking stupid. No one should be driving that far at once, and they rest of the time you waste energy and money just carrying around thousands of pounds of batteries.
Then there is the fun of a car crash and shorting out over 120KW of energy.

I’ve done it several times. It happens.

It would certainly be interesting if EV’s had a means to load or unload batteries for more or less capacity. If the majority of the time you’re driving local it would certainly be better having a smaller battery pack loaded and then load more when you need the range. We’re a long way from being able to do that unfortunately

Came across this which I’ve not validated but does seem to make sense at a glance: Comparison of WLTP and CLTC
Based on that the WLTP range would be 828-900km (515-560 miles).
Real world, 6-700km at a guess?
Cut another third off that in cold weather.
Yeah, the EV range is frustrating.
270 miles? Pretty good. Except you shouldn’t drive it below 20% or above 80%, so really the range is like 170. Cold winter? Now it’s like 75.
No regrets on our EV, but I would feel a whole more more comfortable with 2x the capacity.
Too bad we can’t buy BYD here.
Your mileage may vary.

Ya, why do those big trucks have 40 gallon gas tanks? Not like anyone ever needs to drive that far at once.
So we are now comparing daily drivers to long haul truckers?
Should we all be driving this?
A man can dream.
What are you taking about?
What a ridiculous blanket statement.
Nobody should make such silly blanket statements. :P
in non shit hole countries, driving that far without breaks is illegal.
in shit holes, over 40,000 are killed and countless more maimed for life on highways. Every year.

When the selfdriving feature gets even better, 1000 km will be useful.
you must be excited about this guy showing up next month.
I’ve done a bit over 900km in a day a few times, it’s a full day, but easily done.
