RANGE
WLTP gives you a standardised reference point. Your actual electric range depends on how and where you drive.
What WLTP is useful for
It gives buyers a common test-cycle figure for comparing vehicles. It is not a guarantee for every journey.
What can reduce range
Cold temperatures, higher speeds, heating, payload, tyres and driving style can all change energy consumption.
The better calculation
Write down your typical weekday distance and how often you do longer journeys. Then ask whether the L8's electric range could cover most of your routine driving in realistic conditions.
Charging matters just as much
A PHEV only gives you the full benefit of electric driving if you can recharge regularly enough to use the stored electricity.
What to do nextUse the detailed L8 hub and comparison pages to turn this question into a buying checklist.
LEPAS states up to 56 miles pure electric range and 745 miles combined WLTP.
