Travel speed is not driving speed. It is the average achieved over a long drive at a steady 120 km/h with charging stops counted, so every figure is below 120. Only SUVs, coupe SUVs and crossovers are ranked here, because frontal area costs the most at motorway speed and a mixed list would bury them all under saloons.
82 of 83 SUVs 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.
