◆ Range reality check

~40mi, normalized
Maker claims 40–60 mi · runs high

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. Manufacturer “up to” figures are usually measured at 19 mph on the largest optional pack, which is why the claim runs high.

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.
