- The goal is to check the range and how far it can go.
- Range tests in warm vs cold conditions will be compared.
- The car was charged to 100%, showing a 439 km GOM, but the test aims to achieve a greater range.

- Headwind is a factor affecting driving conditions.
- Consumption is approximately 17.0 kWh/100km in Eco mode.
- The state of charge is not linear, with the top part of the charge being more energy-dense.
- There is an emergency procedure with visual and audible alerts if the driver lets go of the steering wheel while in autosteer, eventually leading to slowing down and stopping.
- With 53% battery the car gets 247 km. It charges at an average of 115 kW. The car is only supposed to have 79.9 kWh available.
- On the 90 km/h test you can get up to 100 km of range.
- At 120 km/h, the car is extremely quiet.
- Compared to a Leaf, the Ariya is a big upgrade in comfort, space, soundproofing, features (including a heads-up display), charging speed, and lack of rapid-gating.
- The Ariya has better included goodies compared to Skoda Enyaq, so to be properly compared to an Enyaq it needs to be specced up.
