ë-C3 Plus vs Spring Expression vs 5 Evolution 40 kWh
01The cut
ë-C3 Plus and 5 Evolution 40 kWh split the numbers that move a decision. You would not notice Boot.
A win is counted only where the gap is one you would notice, and only where two independent hosts agree on the figure. One-source numbers still print. Missing figures stay blank. We do not invent a score.
