WLTP = official manufacturer value (COMBINED). Real consumption is based on user data from EV Monitor. Consumption is influenced by many factors: speed, outside temperature, heating, air conditioning, seat heating and battery conditioning. Since statistics are weighted by kilometres driven, a single 200 km motorway trip in summer at 100 km/h has more influence on the average than ten short city trips.
