Abnormal driving time calculation on Leapmotor B10 profile compared to similar EVs
There is an inconsistency in the driving time calculation when planning a route with the Leapmotor B10 profile compared to other vehicles (e.g. BYD Atto 3 Evo) on the exact same itinerary.
Observed behavior:
On an identical 756 km highway trip (Fontenay-le-Comte to Vergèze, France):
Leapmotor B10: estimated driving time is 7h 53 min (excluding 53 min charging).
BYD Atto 3 Evo: estimated driving time is 6h 28 min (excluding 56 min charging).
Both routes take the exact same roads (A10, A62, A61, A9), with 1 km difference due to charger locations (756 km vs 757 km). However, the Leapmotor profile results in +1h 25 min of driving time, corresponding to an average speed of ~96 km/h vs ~117 km/h on French 130 km/h motorways.
It looks like the vehicle profile for the Leapmotor B10 either has an incorrect default speed cap / reference consumption logic or applies an artificial speed restriction.
Comparison summary:
Route: Fontenay-le-Comte → Vergèze (France)
Leapmotor B10: 756 km | 7h 53m drive | 53m charge (3 stops)
BYD Atto 3 Evo: 757 km | 6h 28m drive | 56m charge (3 stops)

Hello @Sandro Abreu Eng e Consultor Segurança e Agrícola,
The maximum speed of the Leapmotor B10 is at 62 mph, which results in a slower driving pace compared to the BYD Atto 3 at 81 mph. Please adjust the maximum speed yourself to one that you know is realistic and try the plan again.
The reference consumption gets calculated for the vehicle if you have live data connected to them, otherwise you choose it yourself depending on values you know are working and would not leave you stranded. You can read more about ref.consumption here: Reference consumption
