The endurance of electric vehicles is the most important indicator for consumers. At present, the data published by European car companies are generally based on the test results of wltp, which is more accurate than the previous NEDC, while the EPA standard in the United States is closer to the real use than wltp. In order to verify the actual endurance of each electric vehicle, British auto magazine autocar and sister station whatcar designed their own road test, and completed a list of the king of endurance. Let's see who has the best endurance performance among all brands listed overseas? Whatcar automotive magazine has been testing the real fuel consumption data of various brands for many years, and has established the "truempg" fuel consumption query database. With the advent of the era of electric vehicles, whatcar has carried out the "real range" real mileage test (data error is inevitable, only for reference). This year, there are 22 test vehicles, three of which are in the top ten, but unfortunately none of them are in the top three. 1. Kona electric, 259 miles (about 417 kilometers) photo source: autocar, whatcar, the mainstream brand of Hyundai, stands out in the actual measurement, Kona Electric has the longest range, but it's not the model with the most capacity or the most expensive price. It can start with less than 35000 pounds. It has both the practicability and low cost advantages of electric vehicles. The 64kwh battery pack has a measured endurance of more than 250 miles. It can be said that Kona electric combines the three advantages of price, performance and popular compact cross-border style design, and there is a reason for the continuous increase in sales. 2., 253 miles (407km) photo source: autocar and whatcar, as the first to release luxury electric vehicles, were originally aiming to challenge Tesla. In this test, they did beat their closest competitors. This is an electric vehicle full of driving fun, with impressive acceleration ability and high expectations for the brand. With a 90kwh battery pack and dual motor drive, i-pace can achieve 253 miles of actual range, second only to Kona electric. 2. E-niro, 253 miles (407km) photo source: autocar, whatcar Kia e-niro and i-pace are tied for the second place. Although the battery capacity is much smaller than Jaguar, the range is still 253 miles. It shares the powertrain with the modern Kona electric, but a slight loss of mileage due to the larger body. The practicality, refinement and driving experience of e-niro also earned it a higher overall score. 4. Tesla Model 3239 miles (about 385 km) photo source: autocar, whatcar Tesla Model 3 was launched in the UK one year after it was launched in the United States. The test model is a relatively cheap standard range plus version, with 20 inch alloy wheel hub added to the optional performance kit. In the test, the model 3 achieved a true range of 239 miles, surpassing the more expensive and easily leading the Audi e-tron. 5. Tesla Model x, 233 miles (about 375 kilometers) photo source: autocar and whatcarmodel X are the second Tesla mass production vehicles to be listed in the UK, selling for nearly 100000 pounds, and are one of the most expensive electric vehicles in the UK. The test model is p100d, with a range of 233 miles. Although not in the top three, Tesla's super charging network is being deployed in the UK to achieve the fastest charging time. 6. Leaf e +, 217 miles (349km) photo source: autocar, whatcar's first generation of Nissan leaf is one of the first moderately priced electric vehicles in the UK, but it failed to win the championship in terms of mileage. The endurance of the second generation model has increased, mainly due to the 62kwh battery pack. The e + version has made a great leap. The power of the e + power system is greater, reaching 214bhp. Compared with the ordinary version of 40kwh battery, the real endurance has increased by 90 miles. 7. EQC, 208 miles (335 km) photo source: autocar and whatcareqc are the first mass-produced electric vehicles of Mercedes Benz, which is a high-end SUV with familiar but different styles. The 80kwh battery pack, with two motors, generates a combined torque of 402bhp and 561lb ft, which can generate more acceleration power than the two main competitors, Jaguar i-pace and e-tron, but also consume power more quickly. In daily driving, the real range is more than 200 miles, beating the Audi e-tron at the same price by 208 miles. 8. Tesla Model s 75kwh, 204 miles (328km) photo source: autocar, whatcar, the luxury electric vehicle model s unveiled in 2012, has become a benchmark product in the electric vehicle industry. Now, it can choose from different battery versions, with a measured range of 204 miles for the entry-level 75kwh. Unfortunately, the test vehicles of Tesla Model X and are old models. Otherwise, according to the latest configuration of these two models, the endurance mileage should have a chance to exceed 400 km. 9. Audi e-tron, 196 miles (about 315 km) photo source: autocar and whatcar are Audi's new generation of electric vehicle products, and also one of the most important models of the brand for many years. The e-tron is first a luxury SUV, then an electric SUV, and its shape is no different from the fuel version. But it's heavier, with a large 95kwh battery pack leading to an actual range of about 196 miles. 10. Renault Zoe r135192 miles (about 309 km) photo source: autocar, whatcar, the new generation Renault Zoe has a more powerful power assembly than the original, the appearance has not changed much, but the interior elements shared with the new Clio have greatly improved the texture. Zoe's 52kwh battery pack has 238 miles of endurance under the wltp standard, but in the actual test, the endurance performance in daily use is only 192 miles. Photo source: autocar and whatcar were listed in 2013 as one of the electric pioneer models. The early version was 94ah, with small battery capacity and a endurance of only 193km. The battery capacity of the upgraded I3 is increased to 120ah, but the body volume is almost the same, and the endurance is increased to 165 miles, ranking 12th. Thanks to the improvement of BMW's battery technology, the new I3 is still quite competitive in the compact model. From 15th to 22nd, it's because of its small body and limited battery capacity. The range is all less than 200km. Smart forfour EQ has the shortest range, about 90km, and can run 4.6km per kilowatt hour.
