Small battery hints at smaller price, hope that's the case. Also recharging time is oddly huge.

This is roughly the same range as the Ford Mach e extended range but with a battery a little more than half the capacity? How is that even possible?

Not positive, but my guess is a combination of weight (the biggest factor), acceleration (slower = better for range), and regenerative braking performance. EVs are efficient but they still have plenty of room for improvement
