Can two EVs with the same model name have different charging hardware?
Model names can span several years, markets and revisions. What should be checked when a specification found online does not match a seller’s description?
EVVerity explains
A closer look
Match year, market and variant
Use documentation that applies to the actual car, including fitted options where relevant. A current model page may not describe an older vehicle with the same badge. Keep conflicting specifications visible until a suitable document or manufacturer confirmation resolves them.
Do not average conflicting specifications
If one document says one value and another says something different, their average is not a new specification. Determine whether they refer to different vehicles or conditions. Use unknown in a calculator rather than inventing a middle value.
