Depending on how much of the pack they actually use it could get over 100 miles at 250 wh/mi. They may simply be more realistic with their range figure than most. Unless you do an EV from scratch it's going to be hard to fit much more than 100 miles worth of batteries in your average vehicle.
The Leaf battery isn't really "T-shaped"
Judging by this picture, it looks efficiently packaged but TINY compared with the Model S battery size. I suppose with the range difference that is to be expected. Still, if I were building an EV, I would be tempted to fill all available space with battery.
It's tempting, until you have to pay for it. I could have put 100 miles worth of battery in my conversion but I didn't want to double my battery cost for range I didn't really need. Nissan probably came to the same conclusion.Still, if I were building an EV, I would be tempted to fill all available space with battery.

Audi is particularly bad about this. I forget how many e-trons they have already, it seems they come up with a new one every few months. Yet they don't even have a demonstration fleet like BMW (MINI-E & ActiveE) and Mercedes (Smart ed & A-class EV) does.... I'am realy sick of this "concept vehicle humbug" ... thay have nothing real,
just "visions" (beside the R8 e-tron bogus) ...
It looks good in the profile, but all the other angles spoil it. The profile looks very like the 4-door saloon of the BMW 1-series.Aside from the odd grill and wheels, I do like the looks of the A3 sedan "concept." But it does seem like Audi is specializing in EV vaporware of late, eh?
Here is Fourtitude's coverage of the A3 e-tron.
Is there a 4 door saloon in the 1 series? I thought it was 2 door only.
I love the BMW 1-Series. Sadly it isn’t available as a 4-door sedan. So I will have to make do with my own renderings.
I think BMW already had a sedan 4-door 1-series testing some time back. Perhaps they are waiting for the hatch to start losing sales before bringing out the sedan?
Designed as a plug-in hybrid, the A3 e-tron concept is propelled by two power units....give the notchback a range of up to 54 km (34 miles) on electric power alone.
