How does 100d get 380 miles when 90 doesn't do 300.

The European news of the approval of a 100d on their roads shows 100 at 380 miles. (From memory)
If it's only 10% more he does the mileage improve 30%?

I realize it's estimated and the car battery may be different but 295 to 380?
I think the 380 was a European rating, not EPA. Just guessing but if the current 90D gets 294 EPA a 100D should be around 330.

Electrec's number is misleading. They should have said 324 miles instead 380 mi. The increase is 10%. The original source for this news is THIS article. Check out the table at the bottom. It shows the European NEDC rated range numbers.

From 557 to 613 km, the increase is 10%. The NEDC numbers are useless because they are overly optimistic. Therefore converting 613 km to miles doesn't make sense. However, what does make sense is the fact that the increase is 10%. Therefore the EPA range of S100D should be 324 mi, 10% more than S90D's 294 mi EPA range.

Again, this isn't EPA so it's not apples to apples but we know the current 90D's are not getting 315. It would be great if the new 100 gets 380 but 330 ain't bad either. More data needed

Yes I realize it's not epa, but what IS apples to apples is 380 v 315 using the SAME chart I showed in the link. That's 65 mile difference. And now that I actually did the math, it's almost 21% better with a battery that's 11% bigger.

That makes more sense
