Fisker Ocean Extreme beats out Tesla Model Y for EPA range estimate but lags in efficiency

[Redaktion]

The Fisker Ocean Extreme all-electric SUV has just received its EPA range estimate, achieving a rating of 360 miles in the EPA's testing. Not only does the Ocean Extreme edge out the Tesla Model Y by a fair bit, it also achieves the best EPA rating of any electric SUV with a price tag of less than US$200,000. Examining the Ocean Extreme's battery capacity provides a bit more context about the comparison, though.

Sort of annoying claiming one can compare efficiency with EPA ratings.  There are 2 or more official approaches to get the rating and myriad of latitude as to what number you actually list if you want underpromise.  Yet nothing is written of what testing qualification approach they even took.  Not to mention it's well known Tesla is one of the only brands who RARELY can beat their EPA numbers in some sort of real world or even more controlled testing like Edmunds does.  Yet most other brands can outside of 70mph+ tests.

Writing up things like this and claiming Tesla efficiency advantages based on EPA figures is basically corrupted take on efficiency.
