GECKO EV48 against the Farizon V6E Furgón

This is the most uncomfortable comparison in the set, which is exactly why it matters. The Farizon V6E shares the EV48's gross vehicle weight (3,000 kg), an almost identical curb weight, a battery of the same size (41.9 vs 41.86 kWh) and the same connector type — on paper, they are nearly the same vehicle. And yet one certifies 6.2 km/kWh and the other 4.6. e-auto does not yet have a full technical explanation for that gap: the detailed technical report behind certificate C.H. 6940 (drag coefficients, final drive ratio, tires) is not publicly available, and requesting it is one of this plan's pending actions. We publish the comparison anyway, with the open question instead of an answer we don't have.
