Rated range (WLTP and EPA)
The official distance an electric car covers on a full battery, measured on a named lab cycle. Always check which cycle produced the number.
Rated range is the headline number for any electric car: how far it officially travels on a full charge. "Officially" is the key word. The figure comes from a standardized laboratory cycle, WLTP in the EU and UK and EPA in the US, and the two cycles are different tests, so the same car can show different range figures.
That is why CarPairly never prints "range" alone. Every range figure is labeled range (WLTP) or range (EPA), stored in kilometers, and shown in miles for US and UK visitors. Comparing a WLTP figure against an EPA figure would compare two different tests.
Use rated range to compare cars against each other under identical conditions. To estimate what you will actually see on the road in winter or at highway speed, see real-world range, which is a separate concept.
Differs by market
Range is shown in km for most markets and in miles for the US and GB (1 mile = 1.609344 km). WLTP figures apply in the EU and UK and EPA figures in the US. In Australia, the label rule is moving from NEDC (ADR 81/02) to WLTP (ADR 81/03) for new models from 1 July 2026, so check which cycle an Australian figure uses.
