Uncertainty
- Zero’s Australian and US pages disagree on top speed (45 km/h against 50 mph, about 80 km/h) and on range (75 km against 40 miles, about 65 km). The Index records the Australian figures, which Australian Electric Motor Co corroborates.
- Zero’s Australian page labels the range figure ‘at 50 km/h’, a speed above the 45 km/h top speed it states elsewhere on the same page.
