Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 60.9 kWh and a net usable capacity of 58.9 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 399 km (248 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 14.8 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 130 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 79 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 36 minutes with an average charging speed of 69 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 5% to 49%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 73 kW, with each charging session taking about 21 minutes and 24 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 24 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 49 minutes, needing seven charging stops from 5% to 49%, totaling 150 minutes of charging time.
