[@ndc5544p]

Thanks for testing the efficiency of the cars Bjorn! I really think that efficiency is very important for EVs. If you have an efficient powertrain, you need less battery to cover the same distance which in turn makes the car even more efficient. Also, it means that a smaller battery charges faster at 50kW chargers, which is important on trips to places where there aren't any HPC's.

Battery Max Temp is NOT the temperature of the hottest module, it probably measures some other important component in battery pack.

Temperature distribution is more even between modules, difference is smaller than between Min-Max Batt Temp.

So it seems that the hew Hyundai/Kia platform has issue with high speeds. Another French KZbin did efficiency test (all véhicule compared to a ioniq28 and numbers recalculate to be more accurate). And for both ioniq5 and ev6 the numbers are good in city, on standard road but bad on highway. Your test confirm that also. Tesla still the best on efficiency at high speed. (at least until you test lucid and probably eqs)

Bjorn - thank you for your test. Interestingly few hours ago I test driven EV6 GT-Line RWD 239 hp with 20 in wheels (in my country all versions with 77 kWh battery come with 20 inch wheels only). So 12 C, 20 inch, AWD 229 hp, mainly Normal mode, rather gentle on pedal mixed conditions: up to 120 km/h briefly, country roads at 85 km/h, bit of the city run and it consumed 18.2 kWh/100 km. Nice car, with generally nice interior (seats bit too short for my liking, windshield top edge too low ) - but range is too low for my liking and infrastructure (or lack of it) in my country. Pitty - it was on my shortlist, but dropped off because of highway thirst. AWD is different, but RWD response to accellerator was... well, slower than expected when overtaking in normsl mode. There was slight delay in torque delivery to the wheels. Pity. Side note - isn't the battery 77 kWh vs 72 in your spreadsheet?

I agree. I drive an E Niro and none of the VAG/BMW/MB pure EVs provide any EV tech advantage except some faster charging which is meaningless to me. Both Korean E.GMP models launched so far have been too big physically for me and the fast charging is not a feature I need. The E Niro has a range of between 250 and 300 miles, way beyond my bladder, stamina and stomach tolerance AND I only need to use a public charger for about 15% of my journey miles. I am interested in trading up from the E Niro and it seems that Tesla continues to have the technical and design edge for efficiency and performance.

Question to all you Tesla owners. Do you think the new electric cars coming out of Hyundia, Kia and others will challenge Tesla and why. Hear in the uk some Tesla owners are moving from Tesla to KIA, and Hyundai etc. Why is this, my thoughts are all to do with the cabin set up. People like the two screen set up and the central control unit with some buttons and the heads up display. Do you think Tesla went to fare with the one central large tablet to control all. What’s your thoughts on this do you think Tesla should change the layout of the cabin and match what other car makers are doing with screen and control systems to keep customers and win new ones..

[@VSEVstudies]

Tesla mission is to accelerate transition to EVs for all car makers. We are moving there. Even making Superchargers available to other car brands fits this mission. Also Tesla will make some profit on this. Check the volume other manufacturers produce EVs and you'll see that Tesla is not affected. Their EVs are still more efficient and better designed and, most important, mass produced. Screen behind the steering wheel and HUD or ventilated seats. If you want to pay extra for these and get a car which has less range, worse driving assistance and will not tell where to charge - you have the choice. No discomfort for me from the first minute test-driving Model 3 due to the absence of second screen...

It's fogging up because you don't have a/c on.

AC was of course on.

Lol winter test almost like sr+ model 3

[@Vtech-bp1fj]

Quite disappointing really. Clearly a huge car, plus winter tyres and 1c make a big difference, but no better than VW group? Whatever happened to Ioniq efficiency? Obviously fast charging makes it a great long distance car, but not in UK as we have a tiny number of Ultra Rapid chargers.

[@bjornnyland]

MEB cars (ID4, Enyaq etc) were done in summer at higher temperatures. Remember that.

[@Vtech-bp1fj]

@@bjornnyland Thanks for taking time to reply. Your tests really are the best by a long way. Still disappointed though, particularly range at speed, was hoping it would beat Ioniq 5 and Enyaq, even allowing for winter. Drove it and way better than the others. However, think have made a mistake in ordering, need to try and stretch budget to Model Y perhaps somehow.

[@basfinnis]

Shame the range is a bit rubbish. Lovely looking car though.

[@danielstefanovic2604]

So basicaly the ev6 is better on most then ioniq 5 except on space.

[@lucius574]

Mach e looks a disaster because you took the test at minus 5 degrees! You should compare the cars at similar temperatures…

[@bjornnyland]

Unfortunately I can't control the weather...

[@JohnSmith-qj7hd]

I test drove a Mach e at -15c. Car had a 41% charge with 81km left. Couldn’t believe they even released that car in the Canadian market.

[@JohnHKLee]

170miles from 77.4kwh battery? Something is not right.

[@bjornnyland]

Brace yourself. Winter is coming.

[@pezomarko]

also 77 is far from 72... unlike Niro where 64 is 64

[@VagabondGFG]

Sub 300km at 120km/h is a joke.

[@bjornnyland]

Winter. Check out other cars during winter and you will see that 300 km at 120 km/h is common.

Most KZbinrs like Bjorn are materialistics. this car is betther, worser or equal to... Follower buy maybe one of the cars. We care too much of material then love, happiness, empathy,... avoid materialism while watchin youtube video like this. Who cares if Kia is better than XY, who cares if Tesla has bad car quality....
