L03 RWD Long Range

The XPENG L03 RWD Long Range is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €38,600 in Germany and €39,990 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.6 seconds, slower than 49% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 261 miles (420 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 50% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 113th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.8 mi/kWh (165 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 69.5 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 150 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 316 miles (508 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.
