Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 60.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 58.0 kWh, providing a 2.0 kWh buffer (3.3%) for battery protection.
The Lithium-Ion battery utilizes LFP technology, which offers advantages and disadvantages compared to typical NCA/NMC batteries.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 430 km (267 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 13.5 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 87 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 161 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 48 minutes with an average charging speed of 50 kW.
Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 7% to 48%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 54 kW, with each charging session taking about 26 minutes and 23 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 20 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 58 minutes, needing six charging stops from 7% to 48%, totaling 158 minutes of charging time.
