More interesting is that they're claiming 248 miles (400km) on a 45kWh battery[0]. That calculates out to 5.5 miles/kWh, whereas the most efficient Tesla 3 right now only claims 4.5 miles/kWh - and even that is a very optimistic estimate (most people can't get 270 miles out of their 60kWh Tesla 3 standard range models) [1]

- margalabargala 8mo agoThe old Nissan Leafs that look like bugs can easily get 5+ miles per kWh in warm weather with careful driving. Car shape does a lot here.
- Rebelgecko 8mo agoThe Chinese EV test cycle typically gives like 30-50% more than than the EPA's
- NetMageSCW 8mo agoIn China the Tesla Model 3 gets 634km/394miles out of 62.5kWh battery on CLTC, which is 6.3 miles/kWh.
- ipython 8mo agoWow - that’s an insanely useless test then. Because I own a 60kwh Tesla 3 and it can hardly travel 250 miles on a 100% charge in any reasonable scenario.
