Own an EV? Your real number sharpens the index Log your real heat range — 3 reports promote a model to "field-verified"Log your range

The method — in full transparency

  1. 1) Real-world baseline: We start from a vetted Gulf real-world range where we have one; otherwise we first restate the official rating on the WLTP basis (CLTC runs ~15% above it, EPA ~11% below) and then take 10% off for everyday driving. That discount used to be a single factor applied to whatever cycle the entry quoted, which penalised EPA figures that were already conservative.
  2. 2) Heat model: We apply the same published Heat Index model at 45°C (bounds: 48°C max-AC highway and 40°C mixed) to produce a summer range BAND — never a single fake-precise number. See the model
  3. 3) Heat Score (0–100): The expected % of the official rating that survives a typical summer day. A car with an inflated official number scores lower — fairly.
  4. 4) Field verification: Once 3+ real owner tests exist (never any demo data), we show the measured median next to our estimate — and the model becomes "field-verified".

The index covers pure EVs only — range-extenders and plug-in hybrids are excluded because a petrol backstop makes "range surviving the heat" a non-issue for them. Every number carries its source and confidence tier; estimates are modeled and vary by driving and battery age — field-verified figures are the most accurate.
