Claimed CLTC (China light-duty vehicle test cycle) ranges:
- with 48 kWh battery pack, up to 261 ml (420 km)
- with 57.6 kWh battery pack 316 mi (510 km)
- there is also apparently a 71.7 kWh battery pack option
CLTC ranges are supposed to be ~35% higher than EPA ranges.
Can't find warranty length or details.

- smcin 3y agoI didn't say that and I don't think it's helpful to use language like that. The EU quoted ranges are also higher than the EPA ranges: > "The European Union + some other territories (Turkey, Israel) rely on WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure), which replaced the wildly optimistic and now obsolete NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) in 2019. The CLTC (China Light Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) replaced the NEDC in China and is usually the most unrealistically optimistic of the three. ...To make things a little confusing, though, not every automaker applies the results from the tests equally.* https://insideevs.com/features/343231/heres-how-to-calculate-conflicting-ev-range-test-cycles-epa-wltp-nedc/ https://insideevs.com/features/343231/heres-how-to-calculate...
