The range of BEV vehicles varies depending on the type of driving (whether it is open road or city, stop-start driving).

• The UX 300e has an approximate range of up to 560km.²
• The RZ has an approximate range of up to 470km.³

The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) are standardised test procedures that are used to test the energy consumption and range of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).

NEDC was introduced in the 1970’s and was last updated in 1997. NEDC includes the Urban Driving Cycle test (designed to represent typical driving conditions in a city environment), the Extra-Urban Driving Cycle test (designed to represent typical driving conditions in a high-speed driving environment) and produces a Combined driving cycle result. The test cycles use fixed speeds, fixed gear shift points and fixed acceleration. Ancillary loads, such as the climate control, fan, and lights, are turned off. The test duration is 20 minutes and covers 11km.

WLTP was introduced in Europe in 2017. WLTP includes the Worldwide harmonized Light-duty vehicles Test Cycles (WLTC). The European WLTC includes testing at low, medium, high, and extra high speeds representing stop-start traffic, city driving, suburban driving and higher speed driving respectively. The average test speed and the maximum test speed are higher compared to the NEDC. The test duration is 30 minutes and covers 23.25km.

WLTP is considered to be a better representation of real-world driving than NEDC.

The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) are both standardised laboratory test procedures that are used to measure energy consumption and range of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and produce results that can be compared between different vehicle manufactures and vehicle models.

The conditions of the driving cycle tests conducted within NEDC and WLTP are different.

• NEDC has lower average and maximum speeds than WLTP.
• WLTP includes a wider range of driving conditions than NEDC.
• NEDC indicates fixed gear shift points, whereas WLTP does not.
• WLTP simulates a longer driving distance than NEDC.
• NEDC comprises of lower acceleration and deceleration rates than WLTP.
• WLTP tests consider additional optional equipment that could impact energy consumption and range of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).

Charging times vary on the method used, environmental factors, the vehicle and the amount of charge left in the battery.

• Charging the UX 300e on an AC home charger with a Type 2 plug will take approximately 9.5 hours⁴ from when the low drive battery level warning light is lit until an 80% charge is reached. On the road, fast-charging DC stations with a CHAdeMO plug can charge your UX 300e from when the low drive battery level warning light is lit to 80% in about 80 minutes.⁴
• Charging the RZ from when the low drive battery level warning light is lit until full is reached will take approximately 6.5 hours⁴ on an AC home charger with a Type 2 plug. When the RZ is connected to a CCS2 DC fast charger, 80% of the maximum charge level is charged after the drive battery charge level warning is displayed in approximately 30 minutes.⁴

Generally, the cost of charging a BEV tends to be cheaper than filling a car with petrol or diesel. Similar to petrol, prices for charging electric vehicles can vary between different charging stations. Introductory pricing on Chargefox ultra-rapid chargers is $0.60 per kWh, while others on the network range from free up to around $40 for a full charge. Chargefox station charging prices can be accessed by viewing the station ahead of time on the Chargefox app. These prices vary based on the vehicle model and station and may be subject to change.
