- Page 30 Batteries and charging The range of your vehicle Most manufacturers of mobility products state the range of their vehicles either in the sales literature or within the Owners Manual. The range stated sometimes differs from manufacturer to manufacturer even though the battery size is the same. We measure the range of our vehicles in a consistent and uniform manner, but variances still occur due to motor efficiencies and overall product load weight.
