Travel speed is not driving speed. It is the average you actually achieve over a long drive at a steady 70 mph once charging stops are counted, which is why every figure here is below 70. Consumption at that speed comes from the same physics model the range calculator uses, so a car does not need a measurement taken at exactly 70 mph to appear.
All 104 models sold in New Zealand have the dimensions and charging data this is calculated from.
