Charging Speed
The Subaru Solterra has the higher published DC charging figure at 150 kW, which is roughly 79% higher than the Leapmotor C10 at 84 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the Subaru Solterra is listed at about 30 minutes, which is 20 minutes quicker than the Leapmotor C10 at 50 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Leapmotor C10 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 490 km, which is roughly 75 km more than the Subaru Solterra at approximately 415 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Subaru Solterra consumes 200 Wh/km, compared to 200 Wh/km for the Leapmotor C10. That means the Subaru Solterra uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Leapmotor C10 has approximately 81.9 kWh of useable battery , while the Subaru Solterra has approximately 69 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the Subaru Solterra has the higher published DC figure (up to 150 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 30 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 6.6 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
Both cars have similar efficiency at 200 Wh/km, so daily charging costs should be comparable.
For maximum range between charges, the Leapmotor C10 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 490 km, which is roughly 75 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
