These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 193 miles for the Jeep Compass and 175 miles for the Leapmotor C10 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV.
