The BYD Atto 3 with a 60.48 kWh battery is the electric crossover/SUV that was put through the range test. Notably, it is anticipated to have a 420 km (261 miles) WLTP range, as opposed to 320 km (199 miles) with the 49.92 kWh battery variant.
Interestingly, Bjørn Nyland discovered that the BYD Atto 3 could surpass the WLTP range rating in favorable weather at 25°C.
The video claims that the average energy consumption at a speed of 90 km/h (56 mph) was 134 Wh/km (216 Wh/mile).
