It can manage motorway journeys with planning. The 193-mile WLTP range drops noticeably at 70mph — expect 130–150 miles in real-world conditions. The 80kW DC peak means a 10–80% top-up takes around 35 minutes at a compatible rapid charger.
No. The entry-level Evolution 40kWh does not include a heat pump, which means cabin heating draws more energy from the battery in cold weather. The Techno 52kWh grade includes a heat pump as standard.
The Evolution 40kWh peaks at 80kW DC. At a 50kW public rapid charger — the most common type at UK service stations — a 10–80% charge takes approximately 45–50 minutes.
The Techno 52kWh adds a larger 50kWh usable battery, raises DC charging to 100kW, includes a heat pump, and adds a longer WLTP range of around 252 miles. The price difference is approximately £4,500.
