Where does the huge difference in charging losses come from? Tesla, for example, is 10x lower than most of the cars at the top.

- galangalalgol 3y agoI think they tested without preconditioning the battery. Teslas integrated nav and charging network are both designed to make that not happen on a road trip. Also, those at the top of the list are 800v instead of 400v. Which means you need to find a 800v charger, which is a whole other aspect of the issue. Lastly we don't know to what degree any of these cars are protecting battery longevity.

- xeromal 3y agoAerodynamics mostly if you're talking about the Kw/h per 100 miles column
- asylteltine 3y agoProbably because Tesla lies about their stats like actual range
