CLTC
CLTC is a test that measures how far an electric car can go on one charge in China. It’s similar to the EPA test used in the U.S., but usually gives a higher range number.
CLTC stands for China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle, a standardized driving test used in China to estimate electric vehicle range.
