It is 9.7km/kWh, which is indeed impressive. My 2025 Equinox EV is 5.1 km/kWh, but is a much bigger car. My husband's smaller 2017 Bolt EV is rated at 5.7 km/kWh. In the real world, the Equinox actually uses less than the Bolt because of the heat pump.
Marketing was NEVER going to allow units like mi/kWh or km/kWh to be used for flashy new EVs, since those (single-digit!) numerical values would be so much smaller than per gallon figures.

Just like Star Wars, the brand has been so devalued by the last decade+ of entries that no one looks forward to anything that's announced anymore. Giving it a break and getting rid of the current creative team is the bare minimum for anyone to take anything ST seriously.

Looks like 349 is about as high as you can get, but when I checked minutes ago, Dakar was at 580+ (Dakar sandstorm, I assume).:

"Cool, disconnect my car completely then."

Now comes word that a device, purchased by the Pentagon, has been tested which may be linked to what is known as Havana Syndrome."
IMO this does not justify calling it a "Pentagon device" in the headline, causing clickbait-grade implications.
