        In order to achieve the maximum charging speed, EV3 must be charged at an 400-volt electric vehicle charger that delivers at least 150kW of electricity. The acceleration time of 7.5 seconds corresponds to the standard range battery. In the case of the long-range battery, the acceleration time will be 7.7 seconds.

        The actual charging speed and charging time depend on battery temperature and weather conditions.

        Electricity consumption (kWh/100 km) combined from 14.9 to 16.2, CO2-Emission (g/km) combined is 0. Electricity consumption combined: [14.9-16.2] kWh/100 km; CO2-emissions combined: [0] g/km; CO2-class: [5]. The specified consumption and emission values were determined according to the legally prescribed measurement procedures (EU) 2017/1153. The above values have been tested in the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP); however, may not reflect real-world driving conditions. Actual energy consumption during driving may vary.

        (2) Driving Range

        The range was determined according to the standardised EU measurement procedure (WLTP) on EV3 Air Grade.
