Tesla Cybertruck
As of May 2022 the Cybertruck could no longer be reserved in NZ. Vehicle available in US market from 2023.
Electricity unit cost (default {defaultPrice} c/kWh) multiplied by the car's WLTP consumption rating.

The EV's dashboard shows energy consumed from the battery.
Running cost uses the WLTP electric energy consumption rating that includes power consumed during charging.
Electrical energy consumed from the battery over a given distance.

This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
See more about WLTP range and efficiency.
Range is from the manufacturer's WLTP range specification.
Highway range is an estimate if most of your travel is open road (100 km/h).
WLTP range is helpful if most of your travel is 80 km/h and under, but not so good for open road estimates.
See more about WLTP range and efficiency.
If the EV has V2L capability, the max. output (kW) is listed.
V2L means appliances can be plugged into the EV.
Some vehicles have interior NZ sockets, while others require an adapter be plugged into the Type 2 exterior charging socket.
Unbraked (kg) / Braked (kg)
Most EVs can have towbars fitted for carrying bikes (but not for towing loads).
Towing a load will significantly decrease range (typically by 50%).
Seats up (Litres) / Seats down (Litres)
The volume of space available.
Volume (Litres)
The American term "front trunk" indicates how much storage space is available under the bonnet of the car.
Total (Gross) kWh / Usable (Net) kWh
Usable battery capacity is the number of kilowatt-hours that the vehicle can access.
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.
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).
