1500km is suspiciously specific. What next, I'll go to the shops and buy EXACTLY two litres of milk? 12 eggs??

It's interesting that HN discussions overwhelmingly use Imperial/English/American/whatever - to the point where people sometimes don't consider that metric is common in the real world. There's a fairly international and highly technical population here.

Whoever wrote that converted 1500km to miles and rounded (= 932.057 miles)

That's just very misleading though: the 980 miles battery in a light, compact EV, eg, M3, isn't going to deliver the same range in a pick-up truck, eg, the Hummer EV.

It's just an open invitation for abuse (and has already been abused by battery makers like CATL who recently announced a new improved LFP with 4C charging and 750 miles range??).

If they understood significant figures, it would be less suspicious. Besides, when a vendor uses their own special metric, instead of a well known standard, I lose respect for them.
