In a real-world road circuit of 22 electric vehicles, all models completed a 230-kilometre route without the need to charge, while demonstrating a significant efficiency advantage compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
Results differed significantly among vehicles. The displayed driving range added during the 15-minute session varied from 58 kilometres to 178 kilometres. Charging performance can be affected by the vehicle, charger, battery temperature, battery state of charge and conditions at the time of charging.
