Full battery charge and ideal conditions are required. Figures will vary based, amongst others and non-exclusively, on driving and charging habits, speed, accessory use, weather and temperature, battery age, vehicle condition, road condition and other factors. In sub ideal conditions, figures may worsen by more than 50%. Battery capacity decreases with time and use which will further reduce range.

Historical Highlights
From the introduction of the Subaru 360 in 1958 to Subaru's three consecutive World Rally Championship (WRC) Manufacturers' Titles from 1995 to 1997, Subaru has a long history of engineering and motorsports achievement. Here's a quick look at some of Subaru's historical highlights:
Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) is formed.
FHI P-1 automotive prototype is unveiled.
Subaru 360 is introduced, becoming an instant best-seller.
Subaru 1000 is introduced, highlighted by the company's first use of a horizontally-opposed BOXER engine, which would later become an integral part of the Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system.
Debut of the Subaru Leone 4WD Station Wagon - the world's first mass-produced four-wheel drive passenger car.
Subaru Brat, a recreational vehicle with a two-seater cabin and a small cargo bed, is launched, long before crossover vehicles would become mainstream.
Debut of the economical Subaru Justy.
Subaru full-time All-Wheel Drive is introduced in the third-generation Leone.
World's first Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) - called the Subaru ECVT (Electro-Continuously Variable Transmission) -- is introduced in the Justy.
The Subaru Legacy - which boasts both a horizontally-opposed SUBARU BOXER engine and the latest in Subaru All-Wheel Drive - is launched to critical acclaim.
First full year of World Rally Championship (WRC) participation, using the Legacy WRC.
Subaru SVX high-performance luxury coupe is introduced.
Subaru introduces the Impreza, which boasted the same basic engine, suspension and All-Wheel Drive system as the Legacy, but in a smaller and sportier package.
Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT) - behind the wheel of the Legacy WRC -- records its first WRC win. Later that season, SWRT switched from the Legacy WRC to the Impreza WRC.
With the practicality and handling of a wagon and the safety and ground clearance of a sport utility vehicle, Subaru starts a new trend towards crossover vehicles with the introduction of the Outback.
Subaru introduces the Forester, a compact sport utility vehicle offering the best of both worlds: the comfortable ride and handling of a sedan combined with the ruggedness of an SUV.
The second-generation Forester earns the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's highest possible rating in three separate crash tests - the first vehicle in the compact sport utility vehicle class to accomplish the feat.
Subaru introduces the all-new Legacy and Outback for the 2005 model year. Completely redesigned and re-engineered inside and out, the new Legacy and Outback feature more power and technological sophistication than ever before and stand as the first step in Subaru's quest to become a global premium brand.
