You can flash the car as in North America the battery is only usable to 60% or something. It's recommended to flash it to 80 or 90% usable. Around town no highway 3rd hand info it can get 75km and still have about 10% left.
I don't know how the PRIME does, but my brother has a NX450h which is basically NX Prime. He said he can get about 60km on a full charge and he fills up once every 5000km or so. So really only when he takes it on a road trip.

Yeah the 60-70km range is a must tbh.
I frequently ran out of range on 35-40km running errands in Seattle.
Interesting how the 50e gets better highway fuel economy than the 45e ... a more modern charging rate also needed for the larger battery.
