Wait, 70 miles on 94 kWh? 0.75 miles per kWh? Why so low efficiency? It's not that big - are they losing mileage pulling all those batteries around?

There are probably a few shenanigans going on; the NGDV has a GVWR of 8501 lbs, which tips it into a different emissions category. It's still a massive improvement over the LLVs they're replacing; those are 2.2/2.5L Chevy S-10s under the skin which get ~9 mpg because they idle so much.

yeah curious about that — wondering if that’s an effective minimum given how big a hit heating will be on range in a lot of the country

Gotta be because of the AC/heater.
