A lot of Belgians go to the south of France on vacation, often by car. Brussels-Marseille is 1021 km, so your trips are great to show that it's easily doable. In the summer, we often do it in two days because with traffic jams it would take too long.

[@electricwhirl5175]

Have only driven Brussels -Paris and back, that was quite fast, but also expensive roads. Have been driving 2000km quite a lot Brussels-Riga, can be done in 19-25h, can be done in two days :) I think EV for this is not OK still, my diesel can go 1400km on fuel tank :)

[@mvteh]

It is doable, but there are few high powered chargers (>100 KW) between Brussels and Dijon. So best to avoid the black Saturdays with queues at chargers (and the traffic jams at toll stations).

This comes at exact the right time, I'm looking at an enyaq at work. Still some decisions to be made as i don't have any charging possibilities at home or at work (yet) so have to rely on public chargers at gas stations, parking spots etc. I live in Sweden btw.

[@ungardmaier4536]

Regarding consumption Enyaq vs ID4: The MEB cars have one "issue": if the battery is too cold (i think below 9 degrees?), the car will heat the battery up to 13 degrees. That cost some energy. That makes a comparison between different cars difficult, when it comes to different weather. For example, look at the 2 ID3 that björn tested: We have one where the weather was quite nice with 9-19 degrees and avg 14 and another one where weather was bad with 4-9 and 8.5 avg, in avg 5,5 degrees difference. Ok one of them had a slightly bigger battery, but weight has not a really big difference on the consumption, at least not the couple of kg here. If we look now at the consumption of the both ID3 we see 200 kWh for the one with the good weather and 227 for the one with the bad, so 2,7 kWh more. If we now look at ID4 and Enyaq we see from temp 4-12 avg 8 and 12-14 avg 13, in avg 5 degrees difference. From Consumption we have ID4 251 and Enyaq 231 so 2 kWh difference. So i would say, same weather same consumption, more or less

[@DG-uv3zw]

Yes, but you`re forgeting couple of things... Bjorn starts his test with warm battery! Also, he drives 100km/h+ and charges often... No need for battery heater at all in those conditions... Actually, it needs to cool down the battery more like... Air density, then yes...Colder tires/less pressure - yes...

[@ungardmaier4536]

@@DG-uv3zw Was the battery really warm at start from ID4 1000km trip? And no the battery doest really heat up you see it when he charges and don't get 125 kW. Battery is too cold, only in summer it might be that it needs cooling.

No. When you heat a fluid the particles move apart. When you cool a fluid the particles come together and 'solidify' if cooled enough.

[@jonas2674]

So obviously weight, and especially in higher speeds aerodynamics, are the main factors when it comes to efficiency. Was just wondering how much software optimisation can help with the power consumption

[@CHfondue]

Comparing consumption over the 1000km distance would favour ID3 over Enyaq and e-tron. Also Enyaq is more efficient in this sense than e-Tron. So depends what is the main criteria for efficiency, as lower KW total = less power costs.

Great review as always - I watched some of this live at the weekend. I’m really interested in knowing how much ‘worse’ things are with the iV60 in terms of time to travel 1000km, and how many kms you can get from a full charge. It’s about £7k less than the iV80 in the UK. Also I wonder if putting the heat pump on the iV60 would make it match the range of an iV80 which doesn’t have the heat pump? (in winter )

[@judebrown4103]

@iix iixorb yes, I was wondering about that too. Think the heat pump was over £1200 to add to the iV60 but can't decide if it's worth it in the UK. Also, if you set the route on a long journey does it preheat the battery, prior to reaching the charging station... Or is that something only Teslas can do?
