I saw that but even without driving one I can guarantee that it won't go 330 miles on the freeway at freeway speeds. The mfgs over rate the range by assuming a "mix" of driving. I don't know if any of this stuff is standardized yet like it is with mileage ratings for gas powered cars but I'm sure it will be shortly. From what I can tell by driving electric cars, the quoted range is determined by driving the car at roughly 35 or 40 miles per hour on flat roads. As soon as you get over 65 mph, or start driving up hills, the actual range plummets. My guess is that the range is only good for about 200 miles at 70 mph.


It's being regulated for sure, same with how much the battery capacity and range can decline over full useful life, but I think CARB was just proposing that now so it won't be into effect for a few more years. Agree that the 330 mile range likely doesn't apply to driving at 75 mph on hills though.
