Battery, Range, and Charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 69.9 kWh and a net usable capacity of 67.0 kWh, with a 2.9 kWh buffer (4.1%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 320 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

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 420 km (261 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 16.0 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 80 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 140 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 41 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 17% to 80%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 63 kW, with each charging session taking about 40 minutes and 12 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 21.6 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 43 minutes, needing four charging stops from 18% to 74%, totaling 144 minutes of charging time.
