Usles cars for continental or Northern climate. City traffic, stop and fast start…100 times…
The BMW i4 can be had for less than £60k
Driving a car in a slipstream of another makes a significant difference
Good test however the smaller lighter cars would likely be more efficient on hilly roads as weight would be the main factor holding the cats back then instead of drag. Can you add hills to range tests etc?
In order not to confirm the prejudiced misconceptions about EV technology don’t SHOUT THE WORD DIE in you title.
To my knowledge this isn’t done for ICE vehicles how ever ridiculous they can be.
You make a big thing of the Volvo being the ‘least efficient’ when the BMW iX3 gets the same economy figure?
Or buy the MG being the cheapest for really good range . 7 year warranty
Why use any figure other than usable battery size?
I have a Kia EV6 RWD and I have managed 323miles from a charge
It was the height of summer however
In winter I would be closer to 300miles
Absolutly stupid this video…
How you can compare… The price of the car can guide you…
Poor boy….
Just buy Korean cars for EV cars…
Thank you very much: nothing dispels marketing buzz better than real science.
Please try and do a similar experiment with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Now we know who killed the electric car(s). Should have hired me to name your videos.
The i4 is impressive. I expected it to fall around the XC40 considering both are not 100% ev platforms
Very interesting comparison. Shure you will find a lot of people drove one of the cars a lot longer. But here you can see, same conditions, same chances, wich car is the winner has the highest range.
Why would you even bother doing this?
If you rank them in order of efficiency the BMW and e-Niro come joint third just behind the Teslas. Our Niro averages 4.1m/kwh driving on eco.
Basically, a demonstration of how silly WLTP tests are. Useful for comparison only, really, not for how far you can really go.
Conclusion: they need better tests.
What is speed? 150-180km/h? Looks like driving with backward speed.
Expected more from the EV6. bigger battery and RWD vs the model Y which is AWD and has much more people/cargo capacity. Hopefully the EV6 was in normal or sport mode at least, if eco mode that is a bit disappointing. i4 is what it is. Huge battery on a RWD platform. I have an sr+ so I like the idea of that format a lot. Nice car, but when I looked at it I barely fit at 6'2. It might have the least passenger space in this entire test?
Looking again the Model Y absolutely dominated this test. Within a stones throw of the i4 range, but with a smaller battery, way more power, space, towing and AWD.
Why use WLTP? Just look up the EPA figures … not perfect but much better
Nice test. Did you have a chance to monitor the charging efficiency as well during the preparation or after the test? Official values are using recharged energy from mains not from battery, there is a significant efficiency in the middle that is worth to know and consider in your shortfall.
you missed Kia EV6 and Hyundai Iconic 5 long range awd
I can see why electric cars will not go well in Australia especially in the outback no infrastructure infact there are no electric charging stations in Australia we do have electric cars here and they are recharged st thr drivers house you could not drive to Melbourne from Sydney in an electric vehicle but there are plenty of petrol stations maybe there will be recharging station but don't hold your breath
People have no respect for their money who pay full price for an EV that is half a car.
why can't tests like these post the stats with km as well, i get that they're British but it's made for an international audience so why not include them
Crazy how the MG was the second closest to achieving it’s quoted range. Had my MG for a few months now and even though it’s the mk1 with the smaller battery I got 150 miles out of it with a little bit of battery left. Not far off the quoted 163!
Why so many excuses and explanations for the Teslas?
Winners should have been judged in order of efficiency and shortfall of their official range. That's the only thing most people want to know how far it will travel per kW/mile whenever I get asked by the public (whilst I'm taking them on journeys in my taxi) in both my BEVs over 5 years. Cheers
Which had heatpumps?
Fact is that driving my X3 30d at „E-pace“ I get 500miles + and make the stops when I want (or need to) and I’m not told by the car how fast, how long I may (or may not) drive. I can drive in a Highway, use a national or even a B-road. It’s incredible how people need to believe their options…I experienced both of these worlds (still have my 2017 MX100D) and now that besides city driving I will not go for electric as long I have other options available….but that’s the point….I don’t tell you what to drive nor anyone tells me what to drive as well.
Recently got a Model 3. It efficiency is off the charts. I drive conservatively follow all speed limit but i get an efficiency of 4-6 Miles per kWH depending on terrain.
comparing different car segment, price and size also without specifying what was the average speed…
This test is not useful, i just stating the obvious expected result imo.
i don't have a problem with my 2007 bmw 5 series. I normally travel from uk to france and back to uk without worrying of getting stuck somewhere without charging station. I don't see the point of buying electric cars and they are all overpriced!
Miles, comon, kilometers please
i wish there was someone in the USA doing similar test like yours with what is available for us in here.
You recommend the car with the worst build quality (Tesla 3). The BMW will be the best second hand purchase due to the huge drop in value.
What? No Ora Cat? 😅😅
Great, can you include ID4 and MG4 in future test?
Pretty much a waste of time for the average man. They are very expensive vehicles.
It want Solar on the top of the car now
The only thing that will die is, the driver and it's occupants when it catches fire.
I have a VW petrol estate and it’ll do 600miles before it needs a 2minute refuel….I can also carry petrol if I need too as well… Oh sorry… this is electric cars only 🤫
The i4 should have been driven on 18 wheels it would have had much better range
My car is a bog standard 1.2 16v 78hp petrol 2009 corsa mk3, on £30(just over half tank) at £1.41pl at a gulf petrol station I did 232 miles doing 50/50 A roads and motorways. This equals 7.7 pence per mile driving sensible-ish and did near 8.5 hours driving give or take 10 minutes all this was just over 5 days straight.
Can any electric car to date do 232 on one bar above half full or travel near 8.5 hrs in one go on one bar above half full, my corsa can as stated above.
The government want us in electric cars but no electric car can beat my car for range ( 232mls just over half tank, around 8.5hr driving, just over 5 days straight and fuel light had not come on at this point but, was close to coming on
