The 2023 Lordstown Endurance is equipped with a 109-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery (cylindrical lithium-ion cells), which according to the initial forecasts was expected to be good enough for 250 miles (402 km) of range "(EPA cycle)." 
However, the production version has an EPA Combined range of just 174 miles (280 km), which is one of the lowest range results among BEVs, and the lowest range for BEVs with 100+ kWh battery. 
By the way, the EPA Highway range is even lower at less than 169 miles (271 km). 
The reason behind a relatively low range is pretty terrible efficiency of the vehicle. Energy consumption, including charging losses, was estimated at 48 MPGe: 702 watt-hours per mile (436 Wh/km), which is the absolute worst result out of all of the BEVs that we have seen since December 2010[emphasis added]
