Range & efficiency

This is where the Air is untouchable. Long-range trims deliver well over 400 miles of EPA range, and the reason is efficiency: the Air routinely beats 4 miles per kWh in real driving, a figure most EVs can't approach. On a road trip, that means fewer stops and more buffer — the single biggest quality-of-life advantage in an EV.

Charging

The Air's high-voltage architecture supports very high peak charging rates, adding a large chunk of range in a short stop on a capable DC fast charger. Paired with the huge battery and low consumption, long-distance driving is genuinely relaxed.

Interior & technology

The cabin punches at the level of established luxury flagships: clean design, high-quality materials, and a surprisingly spacious interior thanks to the compact drivetrain. The software is responsive, and the driver display and central screen are crisp and well laid out.

The bottom line
