This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 289 km (180 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 13.6 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 44 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 152 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 50 minutes with an average charging speed of 33 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 8% to 57%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 33 kW, with each charging session taking about 35 minutes and 5 seconds.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.

The system stops the car completely using friction brakes.

Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are five levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.
