Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 96.1 kWh and a net usable capacity of 90.6 kWh, providing a 5.5 kWh buffer (5.7%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 328 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.
This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 639 to 550 km (397-342 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.
The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 14.2 kWh/100 km for the base model and 16.5 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.
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 170 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 58 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 29 minutes with an average charging speed of 129 kW.
