Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 82.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 77.0 kWh, with a 5.0 kWh buffer (6.1%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 350 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 547 km (340 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 14.1 kWh/100 km (4.4 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 135 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 93 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 35 minutes at an average power of 92 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 2–43%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 100 kW over a session lasting about 19 minutes and 59 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 47 minutes, needing four charging stops from 2% to 49%, totaling 88 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 0 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
