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.
All 64 SUVs sold in New Zealand have the consumption and charging data this is calculated from.
