The club's piece on MIDC, P1+P2 and C75: which range number do you actually plan around?

Range talk in this club usually ends in the same place: whose number is real? So I read the club's explainer on which EV range figure to trust in India and it lines up with what I keep telling new owners.

For my Empowered Oxide 45, CarDekho's breakdown of the revised norms puts the old city-only P1 claim at 465 km, while the C75 figure, the one Tata calls near real world for 75% of customers, sits around 290 to 310 km (details here). That gap is the whole argument in one line.

I plan highway runs off the conservative end and treat anything better as a bonus. Does the C75 band feel honest for how you drive, or still optimistic once the AC is on and you are doing 100 on a bypass? Curious what Pune and Hyderabad owners see.
