Reply to comment by CriticalUnit in South Korean researchers say they have developed an anode-free lithium-ion battery that is 40% more energy dense than existing batteries and will enable EVs to travel 630km (390 miles) on a single charge. by lughnasadh

I am aware. But I responded to a person quoting tesla model S Wltp range with EQS wltp range, so I really don't see the problem

If you Buy and EQS, don't expect to get WLTP numbers.

Based on real world ranges, the EPA estimates are much close to reality.

The context I replied to was another user questioning the newly developed battery tech with the argument that model S already have more range (wltp), then I responded with a model (eqs) that has an even bigger wltp range. Nothing more, I'm not buying an EQS or claiming the wltp range is correct.

Sure, but like both WLTP ranges and the range mentioned in the original article. These 'ranges' should be taken with a grain of salt.

In reality they are significantly less than WLTP numbers.

Still no cars with actual ranges over 600km
