Yeah, the EPA estimate for Tesla have somehow managed to be well, well out of wack with real-world numbers. The other manufacturers the range is actually achievable if you drive efficiently.

I know Ford was conservative enough that I can come close to the official rating on my Mach-E despite not driving at all efficiently.

How do you like the Mach-E? I've been looking at some.

I bought a GT 3 weeks ago and it's been awesome.

Same with Chevy. My Bolt EV has a range of 259 miles but when the weather isn’t terrible I usually get around 290.
