Good test, and is important to note, this was a winter test, at low temperature (I am sure all ranges will be higher on warmer temperature). The SUVs are taking advantage of the low speeds at the end to deplete the battery as they will cancel the aerodynamic effects, meaning if they would have kept driving at highway speed their last part of the battery would have been consumed faster resulting in slightly less miles.

These charger problems are why I love my Tesla (Model Y). I used to drive a Nissan Leaf (about 100 mile range on motorways) before I upgraded and my wife now drives a MG ZS EV without about 160 miles of motorway range. The number of times we'd pull into a motorway services to find the chargers either full or out of order was insane. A 4 hour trip once took 12 hours with a screaming baby in the backseat, as the chargers were all out of order and we had to find a slow charger in a local Morrison's car park. With the Tesla I put in where I want to go, it has the range to do it and if needed it just diverts via a Tesla Supercharger, preconditions the battery for optimal charging and when you get there... it just works. 150kw or 250kw charging, you actually get the speeds, there are plenty of chargers and I've never yet found one out of order. It's by far the most relaxing EV driving I've had, with absolutely no concern or anxiety. I do get that Tesla's aren't for everyone, and other cars are more reasonably priced and have features that Tesla are missing etc, but for me the Supercharger network trumps any other consideration.

Major downside: you have to own a Tesla. Mine had 7 issues and my EV6 GT will replace it next month. In the meantime (2023) Tesla have opened up Superchargers in many locations, Ionity, Instavolt and BP Pulse (150kw+) are rather good and the Kia can take 800V/350kw.

@@AlistairCunningham can't say I consider it a downside but each to their own. I've had no issues with mine, just enjoyable driving. The EV6 (GT or otherwise) looks great. It was a toss-up between an EV6 or Model Y when I ordered the Tesla but was told there was a 12 month waiting list for the EV6 at the time and I could get the Model Y in 2 months. I have no issues with non-Superchargers in principle but in practice I've just found them to be available in too few numbers, long queues on arrival and a coin toss as to whether they're operational or not. Can't say I'm too bothered about charging beyond 250kw either, although depends on your usage of course. By the time I've used the loo and got coffee at a services, the 150kw has charged it more than enough to finish my journey 👍

That would be interesting since BMW iX 2.7 mi/kWH might look bad, but in the context of the car sizes, weight and aerodynamic design patterns, these aren't really representative. It is probably comparing apples to oranges.

It's worth reiterating that miles per kWh depends on weather and driving style and city/motorway mix. So 3.2 Mat could be 4+ in the hands of a smooth operator or 5+ in summer in town and countryside. So the miles and percentage only apply to him and this particular scenario. Basically though with the 72-82% result is that manufacturers range is roughly usable battery kWh multiplied by 4.5-5 which is unrealistic unless optimal weather or pootling around town with minimal acceleration/braking.

Whilst obviously a heavy foot and harsh acceleration/braking will affect mpg in ICE its far less noticeable impact. People hook onto an EV does x range and take that as a given.

EV's are different to fuel power cars - they don't waste energy. If you're not pressing on the gas pedal hard, then it's not using excess electricity. So, just driving along, a 150bhp EV uses the same amount of energy as a 500bhp EV.

Actually a more powerful motor means it can be more efficient, as it also can take in more power as a generator when braking. EVs are super neat in this area: More power basically comes for free.

Very educational. Better than listening to the dealer who tells me what he thinks I want to hear. Think I will stick to a hybrid. Thanks!
