How should you present CLTC and WLTP data when the supplier provides both?

Updated 2026-08-20By Starvia Automotive

Short Answer

The most easily missed documentation in presenting CLTC and WLTP side by side, item by item: the test cycle behind each figure, same model and battery version, and usage-condition notes for customers, plus the re-check boundaries.

Whether you can proceed with presenting different range cycles depends on confirming the test cycle behind each figure, clarifying same model and battery version, and putting usage-condition notes for customers on record. When the same configuration has both CLTC and WLTP figures, present them side by side — never pick only the higher value.

When a configuration offers both CLTC and WLTP, show the two cycles together; keeping only the higher figure is cherry-picking. For an example, see How should fleet operators evaluate Chinese PHEVs for mixed city and highway use?. The CLTC/WLTP range presentation is ultimately governed by the local rules and written confirmations in force at the time of processing. If you need to verify the vehicle models and export documents the range presentation covers, send the checklist to Starvia Automotive for a re-check by the China team.

How do you confirm GB/T, CCS2 or other charging ports before importing a Chinese EV?

Practical steps for physically checking GB/T and CCS2: how to verify photos of the actual connector and configuration code, separate AC and DC protocol statements, and compatibility testing with local charging equipment, and how to tie the evidence to the vehicles in the batch.

Why check AC and DC charging separately for an imported EV?

A checklist for confirming AC and DC separately: connector shape and communication protocol, onboard charger and DC fast-charging capability, and local home and public equipment, so the decision is confirmed in writing before the next step.

Can adapters solve all overseas charging problems for Chinese EVs?

How to check the limits of an adapter: verify physical connector and communication compatibility first, then re-check permitted power and safety certification and warranty, regulations and long-term maintenance, so the decision never rests on verbal assurances alone.
