Buyer: What's the real-world range of the Model X EV and how long does a full charge take at home?
NIVA DriveBot: Real-world range is approximately 290 miles in mixed driving (rated 330 miles WLTP). With a 7kW home charger (standard installation), a full charge takes around 9–10 hours overnight. OZEV grants of up to £350 are available for home charger installation. Want me to arrange a home charger survey?
