What is the actual range of the JAC E10X?

JAC E10X 2022 Flower Fairy models (Four-Leaf Clover, Starry Sky, Sunflower) all have a pure electric range of 306km. The driving range, also referred to as endurance capability, indicates the total distance a vehicle or ship can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserves. For electric vehicles, the driving range refers to the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test under standard conditions, serving as a crucial economic indicator for EVs. How to check the vehicle's range: Simply look at the odometer on the dashboard, denoted by 'odo' with the value followed by the unit 'km'. Its purpose is to inform the driver of the distance traveled. How to calculate the vehicle's range: The driving range is calculated by dividing the remaining fuel in the vehicle's tank by the average fuel consumption. The fuel consumption is computed by the dashboard based on the recent 30 kilometers' fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The range is updated every kilometer, gradually reflecting the remaining fuel under different road conditions.
I've been driving the Sehol E10X for over six months now, and the official 302 km range is basically under ideal conditions. For daily city commutes, it realistically covers just over 250 km, and with AC on in summer, that drops to around 220 km. Highway driving makes it even more noticeable—once speed exceeds 90 km/h, the range plummets. This car suits urban commuting; don’t expect it to actually hit 300 km. I’ve checked several times: a full charge shows 302 km, but after driving 230 km, only 20% battery remains. Cold weather severely impacts the battery—last winter at -5°C, using the heater cut the range by 30%. Still, most budget EVs in this segment perform similarly. The key is to monitor the remaining battery percentage rather than relying solely on the mileage estimate.
Tested my friend's Sehol E10X by fully charging it and deliberately driving a mixed urban-suburban route. Played music and used ventilation (no AC) throughout. 70% was city crawling at 40-60km/h, 30% was expressway driving at 80km/h. Covered 213km with 18% battery remaining, estimating actual range around 260km. This mini EV consumes power rapidly during hard acceleration - each deep throttle press shows ~3km range drop. Recommend using Eco mode with strongest regen when coasting - downhill sections can recover ~5% extra charge. Battery performs most stable at 25°C - parking underground adds ~15km range versus outdoor parking.
Last week, I accompanied a relative to pick up the JAC E10X, and the salesperson claimed a range of 302 kilometers. After three days of actual use, it was found that turning on the air conditioning reduces the range by 10%, while using the heater cuts it by 30%. With a daily urban commute of 60 kilometers, after three days, the battery was left with 22%, roughly calculating to an actual range of about 250 kilometers. Tire pressure has a significant impact: at the factory setting of 2.3 bar, energy consumption was 12 kWh/100 km, but after increasing it to 2.5 bar, it dropped to 10.8 kWh. The car's range estimation is overly optimistic; when the display shows 100 kilometers remaining, the actual range is at most 80 kilometers. Fast charging to 80% takes only half an hour, but the remaining 20% requires an additional 40 minutes.
