A newly released document submitted to Environment Protection Agency (EPA) by Tesla in order for Model 3 to be accredited by the agency reveals a few new details about the new electric car.

It indicates that Tesla might be underselling the Model 3’s range and charging capacity, among a few other interesting tidbits of information.

Tesla advertises the range of the Model 3 with ‘Long Range’ battery pack as 310 miles (499 km) on a single charge.

The advertised range of an all-electric vehicle in the US is generally the EPA-cycle range.

In the case of the Model 3, the document reveals that the vehicle achieved an EPA-cycle range of 334 miles (537 km), but Tesla asked the EPA to lower the official range to 310 miles.
