Electric car range test - BMW vs Porsche vs VW vs Zeekr vs Nio | Stockholm to Idre

[@lukyluke993]

Love the ID.7 and even more the GTX 🤩

[@hkad6252]

Range range range. Seriously, I have to stop after 250 km for a break for myself, not the car. Reliable charging speed is what matters, not range.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

I agree. But we wanted to prove that you can go. Further than you need without stopping.

[@jimj2683]

True, but most stopping places don't have charging...

[@novuz6537]

Also many places where I want to go don’t have charging places. So I Need Double the Range to come home without charging too

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

That sounds very remote! Where is that?

[@SS-yw7vo]

Agree. These clowns have no idea. Drive for 2 to 3 hours stop for a coffee stretch and a pee and charge up again.

[@nealewilliams1677]

Great test guys. From my perspective the value to range of the ID7 is leaves the others far behind. It would b the one I'd choose.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@nealewilliams1677 thanks 🙏. Yes, and that's my final thoughts too.

[@Alberto-xw8vx]

Do not forget the NIO can swap, taking range out of the equation...

[@jline3701]

@@Alberto-xw8vx But there have to be a swap station on your route. And there are not so many in Europe at the moment.

[@DerFelixH]

You also have to consider that the ID.7 Pro S has about 10% more range for less money than the GTX. If you dont care about AWD and acceleration its even better

[@hanpahomeautomation4101]

@@DerFelixH And also a smaller turn circle without the motor in the front. But the ID.7 Pro S Edition is not maxed like for the GTX so a maxed Pro S is more expensive than the similar GTX, I don't like that.

As an owner of the same Zeekr as tested it was very interesting to see the comparison. Thanks, great review

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Nice! Are you happy with it?

[@noah30000]

Zeekr released restyling about half a year ago. And now it’s way more better. They’ve done a great job, the performance is better, the interior is totally redesigned, sound system improved with 28 speakers. And now it’s has double air suspension, so handling is also improved. Worth mentioning Zeekr is the most popular electric car brand in Russia.

[@AngeloBonaveraArt]

Did you notice the NIO pulling out to go do an automated swap by itself while they were talking about the other cars?

Ich bin selber den Volkswagen ID7 gefahren, es ist ein sehr geiles Auto. Wie die Tester es bereits gesagt haben, der Kofferraum ist einfach nur riesig, Komfort liegt über dem des Volkswagen Phaeton und der Platzangebot kann man mit dem Audi A8 Lang vergleichen. Ich kann jedem ans Herz legen, fahrt dieses Auto über zwei - drei Tage Probe, ihr werdet es nicht bereuen.

Your content is getting better and better, really impressive. I very much liked how you integrated all other drivers and their honest opinion. Great video! I am biased, I own a BMW i5 myself (Sedan, though). I was considering both the Zeekr and the NIO, too - but the BMW still has had the best package. It feels like the “most car” overall.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

🙏

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@MikeLuke thanks man! Pur quite an effort to this one, glad you liked it. The i5 is so smooth, such a refined car. I'm surprised every time I drive it.

[@honesty_-no9he]

New version of 001 has been out a while in China and their total line-up of ZEEKR cars is amazing especially when you consider that their first car the 001 came out in 2021. • Zeekr 001 (2021-present), full-size shooting brake • Zeekr 007 (2023-present), mid-size sedan • Zeekr 009 (2023-present), full-size MPV • Zeekr X (2023-present), subcompact SUV • Zeekr 7X (2024-present), mid-size SUV • Zeekr Mix (2024-present), compact MPV

[@JurgenLahey]

Imagine the ID.7 being the normal RWD edition with the same battery and 19" wheels. It would blew all the others away in efficiency. It's the clear winner for me. BMW too expensive and no practical backseats, Porsche way over budget and unpractical, Zeekr too much consumption and no dealers (resale value?), Nio not big enough. Great video btw, good job!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@JurgenLahey good summary! 🙏

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

The thing is that the Id7 is really efficient. Impressive

[@zeedustrakok]

I actually got the BMW due to the price: great finance offers which makes it really competitive. It does need a bigger battery for the car it is. But the ID7 is the logical choice with the single motor. Lots of space, great efficiency and comfort, just not premium enough. Hence my preference for the A6 avant.

[@DFowlesID7]

I totally agree, I tested a whole suite of family EV's throughout the summer and autumn. Genuinely loved the BMW but considering the price and to spec it everything in the UK costs extra it did not even make the shortlist. The ID7 is a tad 'dull' but the idea of the test was for a family sized car efficiency test and the VW ID7 is luxurious for all the occupants, comfortable to drive and as you say in the RWD configuration with heat pump even more efficient. A clear win for me. Found it amusing to people from the land of the boxes on wheels (aka volvos) complaining about uninspiring to drive and own !

Travel Assist ID7 is the best Autopilot

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@Radio-Team it's really good!

[@murfmac9197]

I had an ID3 77kWh with travel assist and “upgraded” to a Tesla ……. Autopilot isn’t even close to Travel Assist which is superior in every single way!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Tesla AP was in the forefront 2-3 years ago...not anymore.

[@Jeroenneman]

​@@murfmac9197Hard disagree. VW's "assist" kept trying to go back to the middle of the lane. Even with a semi right next to me. Let me keep to the left of the lane without interference, or shut the hell up. Idiotic system.

[@murfmac9197]

@ turn off lane assist so it only activates on travel assist. Then just sit further across to the left and it’ll allow it, at least it always has on everyone I’ve had . However if you try and deviate even an inch with the Tesla system the whole thing disengages and the car jerks to the side. Full travel assist (not ACC with lane assist) allows movement within the lane . See this video for it working and the comparison with Tesla autopilot , and this is from a company that is heavily Tesla oriented. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGqkcmiCqqZ0gLs

[@QK..]

Nio best in class.

[@maltesigmund1843]

Why is it better than the id7?

[@marcusfleuti2672]

I prefer NIO because i is a lot cheaper, has better software, more power, better built than VW (modern platform, VW still uses a gazillion of controllers and complex communications between then which increases risks of electronic failures), NIO has the bigger battery and in future they might also bring the 150 kWh battery to Europe, Battery Swap is just GREAT (I tested it) and I think the ET5T looks much better than the ID7. I can get a fully equipped NIO for 50k. Since I usually drive the car for 4-6 years it is the much better deal than a 80k ID7. And the higher performance I enjoy a lot.

[@maltesigmund1843]

@ so in germany the nio is much more expensive 🫢

[@maltesigmund1843]

@ but when you buy it for 50k you have to pay 450€ per month so in 6 years so additional 30k there. Trade off in space is definitely not worth that. Vw really develops their cars to the limit NIO doesn’t. And 150kwh in this wheelbase? But that would change the game!

[@stigronnysuleskard5299]

​@@maltesigmund1843150kwh is already on market in China so no issue. The 150 battery is actually smaller due to semisolid state technology... but uses same batterycase.

Thanks for the long and comprehensive test. I own a ID7. I have driven my it, 77 kWh sedan, now for 5 months and 10000 km and I am happy to see it can compare itself with other even more expensive brands. I know it is boring but as you said overall the best pick for the € or krona. My longest drive was Munich to Stockholm and back no issue what so ever. It didn't feel like a BEV. BEV cars are now equal for almost every use case compared to a ICE car and even the prices for the ID7 are on par with the Passat if you have a comparable loaded in Germany.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@rainermenes5921as you say, now on par with equivalent ICE cars. Will be even more competitively priced in a couple of years.

[@Dolph681]

​​@@ItsOnlyElectric Prices are not compatible at all. Skoda Superb estate petrol is close to 20 000 pounds cheaper or shell I say more affordable here in the UK.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, but you can't compare a superb against a id7, as you can't compare I Passat against s superb (different price classes). You need to compare it against a VW Passat that's similarly equipped. Then it's the same price.

Not sure if you already do that.

I do provide a spreadsheet for all members..but I'm going to add tire size into the description.

[@Raymaster7482]

Thx for this test! The Chinese build great EVs but they still have to find out how to make them more efficient (yes I know that there is a newer version of the Zeekr 001 available but it's range is almost the same)

[@KlausSchmidt-mz5eb]

Thanks, for the review. The ID 7 is currently the most interesting EV in terms of overall package in my view. If I remember correctly the GTX comes with 19 inch winter tyres. Therefore, the range difference to the ProS should only be minimal. The main driver of range difference between the GTX (minimum 20 inch on summer tyres) and the ProS (minimum 19 inch) is the size of the tyres. With 19 inches on the ProS the de facto range difference to the GTX is about 80km, while it is only 40km if the ProS is on 20 inches. Same should apply in winter as the GTX is only offered with the 19 inches. That is the reason why on most reviews the range difference between GTX and ProS are only minimal as the test cars from VW often come with the 20 inch tyres. I ordered the ProS Tourer with 19 inches due to the range difference. It is a bit annoying that VW does not offer the GTX with 19 inches (summer tyres). Then I possibly would have gone for the GTX.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, as you say, the rims are the main differentiator here. Thanks 🙏

the bmw touring without a larger battery is a big miss for the quintessential tourer. Too bad for the poor efficiency of the Zeekr, otherwise it could be a favorite. Should be interesting to review the revised improved version, when it will arrive.

[@michaelkristiansson6309]

Really intresting test the only thing I miss is to have the Tesla model y in it. I know, booring, but I think its a good baseline in a multi-Electric car test. Big surprice whas when i used the car-configurer for each model. My configuration was long-range, black and bare minimum interior that i could live with. In Sweden the Zeekr was actually the cheepest. Zeekr - 693.000sek, VW id7 - 738.000sek, BMW 793.000sek, NIO(if you buy the battery, like in the other cars)- 825.000sek, Taycan - 1.500.000sek. Didn´t even choose the VW GTX and the Zeekr was still cheaper. And a Tesla Model Y with the same config would cost 617.000 and a WLTP of slightly the most att 600km.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

The Zeekr is really at a good price at all trim levels. Get your point with the MY, but we wanted to stay to tourers only.

[@nevco8774]

This test is among station wagons. Tesla never had one, unfortunately. It's all about Elon Musk ego even in shape design.

[@martinekstrom6303]

@@nevco8774Well. Station wagon is not a very practical design for an EV considering fitting a battery under the floor and having space in a low profile . The BMW and some others has a huge front but no practical use for loading. Space is dead. It’s an ICE car design put in an EV capacity and that is doing huge compromises, not an optimum design. The model Y has more space than these and still having way better efficiency than any of these, so the lower profile doesn’t result in better efficiency. Also; the cars in these test like the Porsche really wagons?

[@nevco8774]

@martinekstrom6303 Dude, have you had any lessons of geometry in school? Can you distinguish a curve = coupe from a boxy design = station wagon, SUV, minivan? Have you learned in school than in a boxy container you can fit more than in a sphere? Are you trying to write that Tesla Model Y is practical and there is no need for something boxy like Rivian R1S?

Now swap the battery for Nio to a 150kwh battery. Range is 1000km plus.

Bring it and shrink the buffer so more capacity can be used as net

[@FrigyesHelfferich]

Actually, in real life, on a long distance, battery is used between 15-80% ,which is 2/3 of the total capacity. It is around 300km between two charging stops. All these cars can do this. And this is the distance which is comfortable for the average driver between two toilet or coffee stops.

[@andrewmullen4003]

why does no-one use KM to KWH, instead of kwh to km?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

kWh/km is now the official way of reporting consumption..WLTP uses it.

[@Vercixx]

It's easier to mentally estimate total consumption if efficiency is expressed in consumption per output. If your needed output is 460 km and you're making 21 kwh/100km, your total consumption is 21 x 460/100 or 21 x 4.6 kWhs which is fairly easy to compute mentally (multiply by 4 which is easy to compute and add 60% so a bit more than half of your consumption/100km). If efficiency is expressed in ouput per unit of consumptuon, so 21 kwh/100km becomes 4.76 km/kwh, good luck deviding 460 by 4.76.

@abri1997 me too. Consumption is a bit too high and battery buffer could be lower.

[@Rob_Dekker]

It's interesting to see that the Chinese cars had the worst consumption. I would not have expected that.

[@shinoMusic]

​​@@Rob_Dekker thats not really true tho, the NIO had less consumption than the Porsche and the BMW. If I understood it correctly in the video the NIO just has reserved more battery as a buffer and allows 90kw/h net capacity and instead of the 100 Porsche allows. So the car allows less range than the Taycan while being more efficient.

[@Rob_Dekker]

@ 55:30 the chart says both chinese cars consumed 20+ kWh / 100 km. I didn’t write the numbers 😁

[@Poofi3_841]

True, but with swapping stations range issues are a thing of the past. 2900 stations in China already. Lots of Nio owners there never had to manually charge them for years.

[@Longsnowsm]

Efficiency, features, price that ID7 looks like the best all around car. I get it that it isn't the premium experience of the other cars. Premium cars are a category of their own really. So if you excluded the ID7 that would be a harder decision. I would probably say the BMW in the premium class of these cars because of the size, space, and all the bells and whistles. But if it was my money the ID7 Tourer would be it. I just wish we could get that car in the US. The added space of the wagon is so nice.

[@quimerdamseminat]

Thanks for this video which is both informative and exciting to watch. We're in the market for an EV in this class. What I'm missing is a broader perspective that reflects how large purchases of a family car are decided. In the real world, spouses who share budgetary and driving responsibilities on that proverbial drive to Idre should be given a voice. Can your partners do a "revenge of the sambos" version of the test? And why not give the kids a voice?

Hi, that's a good angle of it! Maybe next will be from other perspectives. God jul 🎄

NIO's EL6 or ET7 would have been a better choice for this line up, not ET5 which is a much smaller car.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

No, this is the only touring. Focusing on tourings only. 😊 But if comparing other aspects, then you are right 👍

It's a pity that the Tesla Model S wasn't included in the comparison

[@Afclogic]

Nice Video. Thx. Did you ever consider to put the fuel consumption in proportion to the specific Net Weight of the different Cars? Would make some sense in my opinion. Especially Cars with LFP Batterys may have a Disadvantage regarding Power to Weight ratio. As far i know the Zeekr 001 is using an LFP Battery Powered System, which i would prefer regarding Longevity. The higher Weight could explain a part of the higher Fuel-Consumption. Keep on doing Videos like this. I´m from Germany and looking for the next Electric Car. All presented Cars are in Selection, except Porsche. Range, overall Storage Space, Material Quality and Value echoed are the Main Criterias. Zeekr still is not present in Germany while writing, which i do understand, because Germany as a difficult Market Place caused by very high electricity Prices, which will remain for longer time on that niveau.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

That's a Interesting topic..weight is not as bg factor as we may think. Most important is air resistance and wheel size. The Zeekr does have a NMC pack, one of the main reasons for the high consumption is the big 22" wheels and wide 265 tires.

[@Afclogic]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Hey, welcome your reply. Thx. Air resistance is sure the main criteria, you´re right. Big Wheel sizes and wide Tires don´t help either. Wanna be pretty, so you have to suffer 🙂 As far as i know Zeekr is using LFP Batterys either. Maybe depending to the exact Model. Another great car that i´m considering is the Xpeng G6. Great Value and low Power Consumption. Drove it for an day, really surprised. Wish you a merry Christmas an a happy New Year 2025

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

@Afclogic merry Christmas 🎄

[@Paulruk]

Great report, we don’t have the nio or zeeker in the uk until next year but to be honest would probably go for the ID7. Good efficiency, comfortable, huge boot , looks decent and dealer network everywhere. Would’ve liked to know the prices of the cars tested or did I miss that? Anyway thanks for sharing and showing some great Swedish countryside. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎉🍻

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Glad you enjoyed it! Done full review for all cars that are more in depth including price. Merry Christmas 🎁

[@anthonyoconnell5508]

as a former taycan 4s CT owner i can see why it didnt come out on top. as kids get taller the rear seats are usless. plus as a daily your basically sitting on the ground. i went back to a cayenne s hybrid. here in ireland we dont have the Nio or Zeekr but i would really consider the Zeekr if it came here as running an EV is a no brainer compared to the ICE

[@imransaleem637]

@ItsOnlyElectric If you have to buy today a family SUV electric in sweden , will you buy tesla Y or any other ? And will you buy AWD or RWD if you still choose tesla y. I am living in Northern sweden. Extreme cold. About to buy SUV electric and looking for opinions and suggestions Anyone reading this message can comment and suggest please.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

In your case I would go for an AWD for sure. Since I own a model Y today I wouldn't go for a new Y until the facelift is available, not because it's a bad car but because I don't want to swap to the same car. So then I would probably go for the İd7 GTX tourer (not a SUV, i know), or maybe the Nio EL6 (because i love the design), the Audi Q6 Quattro or wait for the Zeekr 7X

[@osthallon]

Great video and test, well done! After watching the video I feel comfortable and happy with my choice to have ordered a BMW i5 xdrive40 Touring :)

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Cool, nice choice! When do you get it?

[@osthallon]

@@ItsOnlyElectric in 3 to 4 months.

[@andreasfahrtelektro7500]

Hi. Now the new AUDI A6 Avant e-tron is the new longrange KING! It charges quicker than the ID.7 and consume lower! In February´25 it´s my own. 😀 I am disappointed with the NIO and ZEEKR. And BMW has a battery that is too small

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Yes, the A6 is an interesting peace. Looking forward to test it.

[@deFruitberg]

A6 Avant does not consume less than the ID.7 Tourer according to the WLTP ratings. Consumption is comparable.

[@petrbrok2468]

Similar consumption. But 800v architecture so better charging speeds, better interior, and still not as pricey as Porsche. Thats why i think if they include it, Audi would be a winner ;⁠-⁠)

[@deFruitberg]

@@petrbrok2468 Better charging speed if you have a 800V charging charger, if not it will be much slower. I'm in the process of selecting either A6 or ID.7 as my next car, there really is not so much difference between both cars. I estimate 15 min over 1000 km in between both cars. Anyway, A6 will be in the showroom mid of January, and I will decide after a test drive. But I won't pick the A6 for it's "superior range", it will need to convince me being worth 15 k€ more on other elements.

[@crestas9]

Interesting to see that you all liked the Zeekr that much. It really is a nice car but it really ain’t that practical

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

It has a unique blend of design, premium feel, space and tech. It's easy to like after you try it.

[@jwickerszh]

Zeekrs are thirsty muscle cas apparently, even my Zeekr X AWD which is quite smaller has a high consumption compared to similar cars in the market.

[@lukyluke993]

Very cool comparison. Sometimes the consumption numbers for miles says kilometers. Just a small mistake 😉

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Missed that, thanks for noticing

[@pehrmalmgren]

Tycker att Id7 imponerade mest med låg förbrukning och kom fram till målet!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Speciellt för det priset . 👍

[@pehrmalmgren]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Ja precis, dessutom. Förbrukningen är ju ändå avgörande för kostnaden för laddning. Känns som att rent allmänt tänker inte folk på laddningskostnaden/kw pga att de flesta jämför med literpris på bensin och diesel och då ser men elen som billig. Men jämför man en elbil som förbrukar 19 kw/10 mil med 24 kw/10 mil över ett år så kan det bli en del pengar.

[@Alberto-xw8vx]

Top notch cars, videos and quality ❤

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@Auman_26]

It would be more interesting to drive at a higher speed (130 or more). The consumption will change significantly. I think that if you drive faster, the Porsche would outperform the others. A Porsche is not made for slow cruising 😉 Were the tire pressures checked before the trip? Does that also play a big role in fuel consumption?

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Pressure checked on all cars 👍 130, that's another kind of test..next time maybe

[@MWikman]

Thanks for a great review guys! When selecting my company car (förmånsbil) I consumed all EV tests available, tested and thought over and over again. In late March I tested the ID7 and was ready to order the GTX version (north Sweden = SNOW = AWD needs). Unfortunately delivery in November was too late for me. Instead I got the Zeekr 001 Performance in mid June. I’m very happy with it and really like the look and feel. Yes, it’s a bit thirsty, but it should be with its weight and 22” winter tires 😂 (I guess it’s one of the heaviest of the tested?). I notice it’s more thirsty when going to the mountain areas (uphill) vs going back home to the coast (downhill). Your test show similar results, relatively more thirsty going to Idre compared to the total trip. Anyway, it’s funny that consumption was an unusual topic amongst men discussing cars before the EV era. Now it’s more or less the main focus of all tests and discussions. Personally I like that the Zeekr is developed in Gothenburg and tested in beautiful Arjeplog (the winter car testing center of Europe). However, I would still pick the ID7 GTX if I would choose today and could get a timely delivery. Keep up the good work and Happy New Car Testing Year!

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thanks for your great insight and congratulations to a great car despite not getting the ID7! 😅 Gott nytt år! 🎉

[@zeedustrakok]

The Porsche is the car I want, the ID7 is the logical car. I ended up getting a BMW i5 (sedan, since the touring wasn’t available yet). Why: the interior of the VW isn’t that good, the bigger battery on the ID7 wasn’t available yet (neither was the wagon). And scarily: the actual price of the I5 and ID7 isn’t that different on a company rent. On the 19” wheels my consumption is quite good. In summer I manage around 17-18kWh/100km, in the winter it is just under 20, but haven’t done big trips in the winter yet. It could do with a bigger battery. If I were to get a new car now it would probably be a Audi A6 avant performance. The Porsche is great, but just a bit to expensive for me. The NIO has a bad interior (to me) and just like the zeker (to high a consumption) it isn’t available in my country. Instead of the Zeekr I’d rather have the Polestar 3.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thanks for sharing. The i5 tends to be efficient. Congratulations to a fine car

The consumption of the Zeekr is really disappointing. Great test.👍

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Thank you! Yes, I heard Zeekr Sweden is looking to add the choice of smaller rims and slimmer tires as a winter setup. Would really improve the consumption.

@@ItsOnlyElectricI would like to see a similar test with the Zeekr 7X in the future.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Zeekr 7X, Model Y, Xpeng G6, Nio EL6, Audi Q6 maybe?

⁠@@ItsOnlyElectricYes, good collection. But I would replace the NIO EL6 with a Mercedes EQE SUV.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Both maybe?

[@pramosfernandes]

The ID7 is impressive! Hope to see the same test with better weather conditions.

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Most bang for the buck!

[@SeeliLeck3r]

Wow, nice video and road trip here. You have put a good work with your friends. I'm a bit disappointed by the Porsche tho, but still, would love to test it out. And also the ID7 GTX 🙂 But anyway, thanks for that cool video

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

Hi man! Yes, it took a good amount of time and effort to execute. Did expect better range out of the Porsche?

[@SeeliLeck3r]

@@ItsOnlyElectric More on the efficiency side I would say

[@ItsOnlyElectric]

It was running on bigger rims than standard. But I guess the efficiency is not really top notch. Maybe that's not the priority for Porsche, but rather being sporty and involving the driver.

[@SeeliLeck3r]

@@ItsOnlyElectric Yes, agreed. I said I was disappointed, but don't get me wrong, the Taycan is still the EV I would definitely go for if I had the money for 😄

M3 RWD is very efficient! Probably make it all the way.

Lets be honest. In terms of value for money and equipment, the ID 7 GTX is the best one.

Yes
