EPA range is city+highway combined, which isn't really what any most car buyers care about. Range during city driving is irrelevant beyond a point; you're never going to go more than 100 miles per charge. Then the highway test is easy; it never breaks 60 MPH and averages 48 MPH. What most people probably care about is how far you can go between charges when road-tripping, which is really a much more complicated formula involving how quickly you can charge, what the real speed limit is on your local highways, how many high speed chargers are available, etc.
- TwoBit 6y agoIf I drove my Tesla S on the freeway at 48 mph then I would easily match the EPA rating.
- r00fus 6y ago48mph was easily doable during moderate traffic on my commutes back home. Some days I'd be lucky to get that. So it's a bit more honest in that regard... Those days where I got to go 80mph the entire freeway segment and get home really quickly my mpge suffered a lot.
