firefly vs Leapmotor T03

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 171 miles for the firefly firefly and 112 miles for the Leapmotor T03 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The firefly firefly goes roughly 58 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 25 minutes in the firefly firefly and 36 in the Leapmotor T03, so the firefly firefly loses less time at each stop. That makes the firefly firefly the stronger long-distance car.

The Leapmotor T03 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 129 mm narrower than the firefly firefly. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 748 mm of total clearance for the Leapmotor T03 and about 619 mm of total clearance for the firefly firefly.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the firefly firefly and 90% for the Leapmotor T03. That gives the Leapmotor T03 a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Leapmotor T03's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the firefly firefly's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use.
