The EPA has finally detailed the official range of
the Tesla Model 3, the electric automaker’s first affordable EV. According to
the Environmental Protection Agency, the long-range variant of the Model 3 has
a combined range of 499 km, exactly the same figure as quoted by Tesla at the
vehicle’s delivery event in July.
In the city, Model 3 Long Range owners can expect to
travel 518 km on a single charge and 476 km on the highway.
Alongside confirming the vehicle’s range, the EPA
has given the range-topping Model 3 a combined 126 MPGe rating, calculated from
131 MPGe in the city and 120 MPGe on the highway. This places the Model S Long
Range below the 136 MPGe of the Hyundai Ioniq Electric but above the 119 MPGe
of the Chevrolet Bolt and the 118 MPGe of the BMW i3.
