Tested range (percent of claimed):
Renault Zoe: 229 miles (96% of claimed)
Vauxhall Corsa-e: 174 miles (83% of claimed)
Volkswagen e-Up!: 162 miles (102% of claimed)
Peugeot e-208: 161 miles (74% of claimed)
MINI Electric: 154 miles (106% of claimed)
Honda e: 113 miles (90% of claimed)
I had no idea the Honda E is almost 200kg heavier than the Mini. Why is it so bloody heavy? Might partially explain why it's so inefficient. The Mini and e-Up have more or less the same battery size but 30-40% more range
I am actually kind of curious how do manufacturers calculate/measure the theoretical range of their cars. Do they just assume driving across a flat road, or do they also take into account things like: speeding up, driving up hills and the energy recovered from using the brakes.
Died in all caps exclamation point!!
Iβm looking forward to similar test using electric airplanes. Just skip to end in you want to know numbers :)
Interesting. A 68 miles range difference between Zoe vs. e-208.
i see a market for giant powerbanks you can rent and put in the boot or tow as a trailer for long drives
