150 miles is the EPA range, not 150km.
- jac_no_k 8y agoEPA (US environmental protection agency) rates it as 241 km (150 miles) JC08 (Japan's rating agency) rates it at 400km (248 miles). Even the dealer says this is wildly optimistic. At 100% charge, my car reports 220 km. It's starting to "learn" my driving style. My lead foot, my preference for 25dC (77dF) cabin temperature when it's 40dC (104dF) at 90%+ humidity drags this down to real world 150km (93 miles). I'm sure if I drove more conservatively during more reasonable weather conditions, I could easily get over 220km. But with fast charge stations no more then 50km apart, no need to hypermile. It's good to take a break hour and half or so. (Speed limit in Japan is maximum 80kph (49mph) on highways.)
