Sure, if it was consistent. But the range varies wildly even on the same car depending on speed and weather conditions. Is it 500km highway or 500km city driving? Is it in the winter or in the summer? Is it on a rainy day? Is there snow? Is there head wind or tail wind? 500km is a completely useless unit for charging speed and battery capacity without comprehensive context.

That's fair. Probably should be judged like mpg ratings are.
