Volta City electric hatchback range test: 241 km in mixed driving against 315 km claimed

City driving came close to the claim; highway driving at 100 km/h did not.

We drove the fictional Volta City from a full charge in mixed city and highway conditions with the AC on.

It covered 241 km against the claimed 315 km. City-only driving gave about 290 km.

Fast charging from 20 to 80 per cent took 38 minutes on a 50 kW charger.
