Electric scooter batteries: watt-hours, chemistries, why real range is less than the spec

How to read an electric scooter battery spec: why Wh (V × Ah) is the only honest capacity metric; how the pack is built (18650/21700 cells, S/P notation such as 10S3P, BMS); how NMC, NCA and LFP differ; why real-world range is usually 30–50 % below the spec figure (rider weight, speed and aerodynamic drag ~v², slopes, temperature, tyre pressure); UL 2272 / UL 2271 and EN 17128 certifications; safety standards after the New York fires (Local Law 39 of 2023).
