Thank goodness it charges very quickly! Everything is a compromise, here you get the size and seating capacity, but you lose range at high speed. To be expected. The Lucid Gravity will probably do better. But it's going to cost more.
I live in a climate that does not affect my battery range. My EV9 gets 2.4 miles per kWh, average, highway, at 78mph and AC set on 62 Fahrenheit. It gets 3.5 miles per kWh, average, at +5 legal speed limits in the city, with AC set on 62 Fahrenheit. It takes around 6.25 hours to charge from 20%-80% at an average, at 9.4 kWh, from a 40 amp, level 2 charger. Th EV9 takes around 16-18 minutes, to charge from 20% to 80%, from a EV America 350 kWh charger, at varying kWh deliveries.
I think that driver only heating is useless in such a big vehicle. My Niro EV is a lot smaller and it does the same thing in colder weather... you can't use the feature when it's cold. Looking forward to the 110kmh run!
That is kinda conundrum on one hand it's very spacious and is great for long trips - on the other hand the range is disappointing really....it's the best car if you need 9 seats though - maybe VW ID Buzz any other?

I feel like the cars you test just get bigger and bigger. When will we see some city cars again?
