    Even worse, they achieved 310km at 20km/h. Maybe to achieve 350 km you have to push for a fraction of the trip…?

      There’s 7% left after the trip, maybe that 7% will do for another 40km? Idk. Really a head scratcher on how the company coming up with the number.

        7% of 350 is 24.5, so that doesn’t track either…

        I don’t know how they can claim 350 km and say they’ve beaten a world record at 310 with a straight face. If their range claims weren’t straight up false, surely they would just run a full tank and get 350, or even 360 in unreal conditions like this.
