1 Autonomy and charging time based on the values ​​tested by the manufacturer and the methodology for calculating the autonomy estimated by the EPA. Estimated added miles are based on the first 10 minutes of charging, from the time the vehicle begins to receive charging. The charge rate decreases when the battery reaches its full capacity. Your results may vary depending on charge peaks and the state of charge of the battery. The actual range of the vehicle varies depending on conditions such as external elements, driving behaviors, vehicle maintenance and the age and health status of the lithium-ion battery.
