EV cars are roughly 3x more efficient than ICE equivalent, so I expect the CT to be no better than 60 MPGe. That's 3x the efficiency of a 20 MPG truck (which is a bit generous).

I wouldn't care (much) if it was as poor as 50 MPGe, as that's like getting the efficiency of a Prius in a 6-passenger truck.

I'll go with 55 MPGe as my final guestimate, or about half what the cars are getting now.
