About the Data

⚠️ EV specifications shown here (battery size, chemistry, charging speeds, horsepower, cargo space, release years) are compiled from:

  • The European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO) – official EU EV database
  • Manufacturer specification sheets and press releases
  • Secondary references from EV-Database.org, FuelEconomy.gov, Recurrent Auto, and other reputable EV portals

Figures are averages and may vary by region, trim, and model year. Some future or unreleased models use manufacturer-announced pre-production estimates, which may change before delivery.
