Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 61.1 kWh and a net usable capacity of 57.4 kWh, providing a 3.7 kWh buffer (6.1%) for battery protection.
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 400 to 380 km (249-236 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 14.4 kWh/100 km for the base model and 15.1 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 87 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 77 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 34 minutes with an average charging speed of 72 kW.
Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 8% to 58%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 66 kW, with each charging session taking about 26 minutes and 16 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 23 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 11 hours and 0 minutes, needing seven charging stops from 9% to 52%, totaling 160 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 5 hours and 13 minutes with a standard home setup.
Charge Port
