But performance isn’t achieved by sacrificing efficiency, and the CUPRA Born VZ is able to travel up to 599km. The battery pack has been improved and now offers 79kWh of net capacity (+2kWh). And the technology remains practical; it can be recharged at home using an 11kW AC system or at a DC 185kW fast- charging point, meaning a fast charge from 10 to 80% would just take under half an hour.
