Home & Destination Charging (0 → 100%)
Charging is possible via a regular wall plug or a dedicated AC charging station (EVSE). Public AC charging is always through a station. Speed depends on the grid (1-phase vs 3-phase), EVSE capability, cable rating, and the onboard charger. Availability differs by country in Europe and across North/South America. Values assume ideal conditions.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)
Connector: Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2). Rapid DC charging enables longer trips by adding as much range as possible in the shortest time. Charge power tapers significantly beyond ~80% SoC; most rapid sessions end at or before 80%.

“1-Stop Range” = distance with a single 15-minute fast-charge stop under standardized assumptions; star rating uses 2025 thresholds.
1-Stop Range Definition ⚡
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.
🚗 Driving Profile
- Begin with a fully charged battery
- Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
- Perform a 15-minute fast charge
- Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC
📋 Assumptions
- Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
- No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
- The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
- The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition
⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.
5-Star Rating Definition
Assignment of Stars in 2025
- ☆ 0 less than 200 km
- ★ from 200 km to 325 km
- ★★ from 325 km to 450 km
