Buying decision

EvCompass verdict

Electricity for a whole year comes to around PLN 3,579 (PLN 23.5 per 100 km). When all the energy comes from a home socket, the figure drops to PLN 1,805, roughly half.

When the frost arrives, the 260 km becomes about 204 km. That is still a good margin in town. A trip out of the region does need a stop: a rapid charger takes the battery from 10 to 80% in 32 minutes, with DC power reaching 80 kW.

The larger-battery version goes noticeably further but costs more. If you rarely leave town, that extra money is hard to justify.
