Will the BE 6's 682 km range really hold up in real world conditions?

Bold claims have been made by Mahindra about the range of the BE 6 Pack Three, which it says can achieve up to 682 km on a single charge. The figure is based on the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) testing cycle which is known to sometimes deliver optimistic results compared to real world driving. The range an EV actually achieves can be quite different depending on how you drive, what kind of terrain you’re on and the weather, and what in car features you use, for example air conditioning. It is important for potential buyers to figure out what they can expect from a realistic range to ascertain whether the car is practical for what they need. These questions beg the question of how the BE 6 will perform in various real world situations, and how its range compares to other EVs when driven in the same conditions.
