Current MSRP of the model (before incentives) depending on the market.

The body style of the model as defined by the number of doors and roof treatment.

Materials used in the vehicle's body construction.

Available exterior colors for the model as specified by the manufacturer.

Available interior colors for the model as specified by the manufacturer.

Number of doors for passengers. Depending on the body style, the doors can be two, four, etc.

Number of seats inclduing the driver and passenger ones. Depending on the model, the seats can be five, six, seven or other.

The distance from the frontmost to the rearmost point of the electric vehicle.

The width of the vehicle without mirrors.

The distance from the ground to the top of the electric car.

The distance between the centers of the front and rear axle.

The distance between the centers (centerline) of the two wheels on the front axle.

The distance between the centers (centerline) of the two wheels on the rear axle.

The distance from the ground to the lowest point of the vehicle measured without cargo or passengers. The ground clearance is also known as ride height.

The vertical distance from the vehicle's roof to the front seats bottom.

The vertical distance from the vehicle's roof to the rear seats bottom.

The horizontal distance between the panels of the two front doors.

The horizontal distance between the panels of the two rear doors.

The width of the front seats of the car, which indicates how much space is available for the driver and passenger on either side of their waists when they sit down.

The width of the seat cushion on the back, which indicates how much space is available for the passengers on either side of their waists.

The distance available for the legs of the driver and the front passenger.

The distance available for the legs of the rear passengers.

This is the sum of the front and rear passenger volumes. The front passenger volume is calculated by multiplying the front headroom, legroom and shoulder room. The rear passenger volume can be calculated in the same way. If the difference between the shoulder and the hip room is more than 5 inches (125 mm), their average is used for the multiplication.

The total volume of the vehicle is the sum of the front and rear volume or the sum of the all available passenger and cargo volume.

The available space for cargo in the main trunk, excluding the additional available space from folding one or two rear seat rows.

The maximum available space for cargo in the main trunk, including the additional available space from folding one or two rear seat rows.

Curb weight (a.k.a. kerb weight) is the EV mass with standard equipment, liquids (oils and fuel at nominal tank capacity) but without cargo and passengers. In some EU countries, the curb weight also includes the weight of a 75 kg (165 lb) driver.

In the context of automobiles, the payload is the summary of the weights of passengers, cargo, accessories, equipment.

GVWR stands for gross vehicle weight rating and is also known as gross vehicle mass (GVM). It describes the maximum operating weight of the electric car including the curb weight and payload (accessories, equipment, driver, passengers and cargo).

The drag coefficient or coefficient of drag is related to the car's aerodynamics as it denotes the resistance to the air of the front surface of the vehicle when it is in movement. The lower the coefficient, the better aerodynamics the model has. Ultimately, this allows for higher speeds and improved power efficiency.

Additional details related to the electric car's body.

The electric motor category according to the type of motor commutation. Most electric motors operate on magnetism and can be powered by direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) sources. Depending on the type of commutation, electric motors are either self-commutated (AC and DC, mechanical or electronic) and externally commutated (AC only, asynchronous or synchronous).

Information about the electric notor's location. The two most common locations are the front and rear of the electric car.

The power produced by the electric motor depends proportionally on the motor's rotational speed.

Torque is the driving force of an electric motor and is the rotational equivalent of a linear force. A typical feature of electric cars is that they get full torque from zero speed.

Regenerative braking is a typical feature of electric vehicles, in which the electric motor uses the vehicle's kinetic energy to save power or stores it for later use.

Some manufacturers include software designed driving modes to improve power efficiency and/or range. Information about the available driving modes for this model.

The top speed that the vehicle can achieve as specified by the manufacturer.

The time in seconds the electric vehicle needs to accelerate from 80 to 120 km/h.

The time in seconds the model needs to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph.

Information about the energy class of the electric vehicle.

Information about the design type of the steering mechanism of the electric car.

Information about the type of power steering used in this model.

Often referred to as turning diameter or turning radius (multiplied by two), this is the smallest diameter that the outside wheels of the vehicle describe when it is turning on full lock.

The number of full rotations made by the steering wheel from lock to lock (from one extreme end to the other).

Information about the type of transmission used by the vehicle. Generally, EVs are equipped with one-speed automatic units.

Information about the type of drivetrain (the system that delivers power to the driving wheels).

The axle ratio a.k.a. final drive ratio of the electric motor. It shows the number of revolutions of the driveshaft needed to spin the axle one complete turn.

Information about the main components of the front suspension of the electric vehicle.

Information about the main components of the rear suspension of the electric vehicle.

Information about the type of brakes used on the front wheels.

Information about the type of brakes used on the rear wheels.

Additional details about the brakes of this model.

The name of the company that has manufactured the battery.

The type of rechargeable battery depending on its composition.

The capacity of the rechargeable battery that powers this EV as specified by the manufacturer in kilowatt hours.

The batteries used by electric cars are usually packs that consist of a certain number of battery cells in different arrangements. Information about the total number of cells in this particular model.

Battery cells are arranged in different modules that comprise battery packs. Information about the number of modules in this battery.

The battery voltage denotes the difference in electric potential between the positive and negative electrodes of the pack. The higher difference in potential results in a higher voltage.

Total weight of the battery pack including not only the cells but also the shield, wiring, etc.

The total volume of the battery pack.

Information about the position of the battery pack in the electric vehicle.

Information about the type of battery cooling on this specific model.
