◆ Range reality check

~40mi, normalized

Computed from the 5.04 kWh pack (system voltage × amp-hours) at a standard 0.125 kWh per mile — the same efficiency on every model, so ranges compare apples-to-apples. Real-world range varies with load, terrain, speed, and battery age.

◆ Value scorecard

Power-to-weight
4.8 W/lb
motor watts ÷ weight

Our figures, from verified specs + MSRP — lower cost-per-seat and cost-per-mile is better; higher power-to-weight means more pep and hill-climb. Range uses the normalized estimate.
