Wheelbase - definition

The wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels.

When comparing different models, it can give a (very rough) estimate of space inside, for EVs with the same number of rows of seats - since generally a larger wheelbase translates into more 'knee space' in the rear seats.
