Now thats a test, a realistic speed and they didn't run the batteries down to nothing.
I hate it when EV makers post 100 and 150 (or some 3 digit number) and you have no idea how they got those numbers.
One can only guess it normally involved speeds around 35mph, flat roads, no stops, no heat or A/C and they ran a brand new battery pack to the point where it would not move the vehicle any more, so on and so forth.
