Travel speed is not driving speed. It is the average you actually achieve over a long drive at a steady 120 km/h once charging stops are counted, which is why every figure here is below 120. It is the one number that weighs efficiency and charging speed together: a frugal car that charges slowly and a thirsty one that charges quickly can arrive at the same time.
134 of 136 models sold in China have the consumption and charging data this is calculated from. The others are missing that data rather than absent from the market.
