Bigger car has 18.8 kwh battery while smaller one has 8.8. I’m sure the next iteration of prius will bet exactly 30 electric only range just to shut california up.

Or just use the Tesla estimation formula and add 30% to your cars.

(I say this as a Tesla owner…)

Isn’t it impressive how you can have more range than everyone else when you just make stuff up and nobody actually cares that you don’t hit the made up numbers?

To be fair, the EPA does have two tests you can run to get your number - as I understand it - most manufacturers pick Option A (less testing) vs Tesla who picks Option B (more testing) to get their higher EPA scores.
