Energy consumption is displayed on the dashboard and is re-calculated as you drive. It is different to the WLTP-rated consumption (which measures power from the mains).
This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
The maximum speed the EV can charge at home or a public AC charger.
An EV has a built-in charger that converts household AC electricity into DC current that goes into the battery.
This limits the maximum speed you can charge at home - no matter what extra equipment you install. Some public chargers (such as at motor camps and shopping malls) are also AC only.
Fast Charge ⚡
The maximum speed the EV can charge at a DC fast charger.
Speed is also limited by the capacity of the public charger. In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.
Temperature (20°+ is ideal) and battery state-of-charge affect speed (an empty battery charges faster).
These model(s) are only available second-hand, either locally, or as used imports.

SsangYong Korando e-Motion: New Zealand drive & review
"Overall, I think this car is pretty good value for money. It's got a lot of gadgetry, it's safe, it's fairly quick. it's very comfortable and of course, it's got a really useful range, so, all in all, I think it's a Testament to the quality of cars coming out of Korea."
