Volkswagen's Mission Efficiency EV hits 323 MPGe and borrows Slate's BYOD cabin trick

VW drove a near-production Kammback coupe 1,278 km on one 54.9 kWh charge at just 6.48 kWh/100 km, claiming a record 0.158 drag coefficient.

Real 7.51 kWh/100 km and ideal 6.48 kWh/100 km show affordable aero-heavy EVs can nearly double efficiency of today's best production cars, but with space and comfort trade-offs.
