The battery has a gross capacity of 112.5 kWh and a net usable capacity of 107.5 kWh, with a 5.0 kWh buffer (4.4%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 355.2 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimated range varies between 326 to 307 miles (525-494 km), depending on the vehicle's configuration and options. For instance, larger wheels can increase energy consumption and reduce the overall range.
The energy consumption rates are 3.0 mi/kWh for the base model and 2.9 mi/kWh for the top-tier version, according to the EPA standard test.
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 190 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 190 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 34 minutes at an average power of 133 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 8–65%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 119 kW over a session lasting about 31 minutes and 50 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 25 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 33 minutes, needing two charging stops from 6% to 73%, totaling 73 minutes of charging time.
