Range

Between the huge off-road tires, fenders, and roof rack with rooftop tent, the range has been cut significantly. According to GPS. The longest they’ve gone so far between charges is about 162 miles. With 18% left in the battery, giving them a “best” achieved range of ~200 miles out of the 272-mile rated Ariya.
