Usable range assumes you leave fully charged and arrive with 10% to spare, driving at about 110 km/h. Winter assumes roughly −10°C, halfway between our 0°C and −20°C estimates. Headwinds, snow on the road and a full car all cost more. Distance is approximate; confirm in your map app and check charger status before you leave.
