Where the answers come from
BatteryFrom NHTSA, the U.S. government's vehicle database, where GM files how every van was built.
RangeGM's estimate for that battery, model year and drive. Real range changes with load, speed and weather.
StickerStraight from GM. It is the original window sticker for that exact van, and it is only fetched when you ask for it.
Privacy
SharedThe VIN goes to the government database to look it up, and to GM only if you ask for the sticker.

Shopping on a computer?
The Chrome extension does this for you as you browse. It tags every BrightDrop on dealer and listing sites with its battery, so there is nothing to paste.
