What is CHINA-NEDC?
China New European Driving Cycle (legacy label) (CHINA-NEDC) is a laboratory driving-cycle / range-label used primarily in China (legacy). ExploreCalcTools documents CHINA-NEDC so buyers can compare estimated EV range figures across standards such as WLTP, EPA, NEDC and CLTC.
CHINA-NEDC does not measure the same mix of speed, temperature, HVAC load, or stop-and-go behaviour as every other cycle. A car rated CHINA-NEDC 500 km will often show a different number under EPA or CLTC — our converters apply empirical estimate factors only.
This procedure is marked legacy on ExploreCalcTools — useful for historical brochure comparisons, not as a modern official rating.

Practical tips
- Prefer comparing the same vehicle under the same standard when possible.
- Cold weather, highway speed, and cabin heating typically reduce real-world range vs lab figures.
- Legacy cycles (NEDC, JC08, 10-15, China NEDC) often look optimistic versus modern WLTP/EPA.
Educational estimates only — not a substitute for manufacturer or regulatory ratings.

EV range standards use different testing procedures and conditions. Conversions between standards are estimates and are not exact mathematical conversions. Actual real-world range may vary based on vehicle model, battery size, speed, temperature, terrain, driving style, HVAC use, and other conditions.
