What will you really get — range or fuel use?

The WLTP figure on the brochure was measured on a rolling road on a mild day. These two calculators translate it back into the kind of number you actually see on the motorway in February, so you can judge a car for yourself. They work for an EV's range (km), for petrol or diesel use (l per 100 km), and for electricity use (kWh per 100 km) — pick the one that matches your car.

  • WLTP to real-world: range or consumption

    Enter the official manufacturer figure (WLTP — the standardised EU lab test) and see the expected real-world value next to it.

    WLTP 500 km → ~425 km (−15%)

    Calculate real-world value
  • Range at outside temperature

    Pick an outside temperature. See roughly how much range an electric car (EV) keeps on a day like that.

    WLTP 400 km · light frost → ~280–312 km

    Calculate winter range

We never sell or lease a car, so nothing here has a reason to talk you into a bigger battery or a higher trim. The numbers lean towards the cold February morning rather than the showroom.

Before you trust a single number

What is WLTP?
WLTP is the standardised European lab test that gives every new car its official consumption and range figure. It runs on a rolling road under fixed conditions, which makes the numbers comparable between models. Treat them as a benchmark rather than a promise for your own driving. Read what WLTP means.
How far do I really get on an electric car?
In practice most drivers see less than the WLTP figure: motorway speed, heating and cold weather all cost range. As a rough rule of thumb, plan with a margin below the official number. The range calculator gives you an indicative band rather than a single exact figure.
Is the manufacturer figure simply wrong?
No, the lab figure is measured correctly under its own rules. It is just optimistic for everyday use. These calculators do not replace the official number; they translate it into an indicative real-world estimate you can weigh up yourself.
