WLTP = official manufacturer value (COMBINED). Real consumption is based on user data from EV Monitor.

Community consumption values show normalised driving consumption - charging losses have been removed (AC: 10%, DC: 5%). WLTP only measures driving consumption without standby and preconditioning - a difference of 5-15% is therefore normal.
