"Carwow drove six long-range electric crossovers pushing their batteries past empty to see how far they could go. The winner was the Kia EV3, which was the smallest car in the test, but had one of the largest battery capacities of the group. The Tesla Model Y Long Range had the best efficiency, but it didn't have the battery capacity to win this test."
"The cars were driven at the same time, on the same road and in the same typical British weather, meaning that it rained a lot during the test. Most of the driving was done on motorways at the 70 mph speed limit, although late in the test, they did get on some country roads to avoid a blockage caused by an accident. That makes this similar to the 70 mph highway range tests that we do in the United States,"
Six long-range electric crossovers were driven until their batteries reached zero to measure real-world range beyond predicted figures. The lineup included Tesla Model Y Long Range, Skoda Enyaq Coupe, Kia EV3, Xpeng G6, BYD Sealion 7 and Leapmotor C10. Testing occurred simultaneously on the same road in rainy British weather, mostly at motorway speeds of 70 mph with late detours onto country roads. The Kia EV3 won by combining small size with a large battery capacity. The Tesla Model Y Long Range proved most efficient but lacked the battery capacity to win. Vehicles severely limit power at zero state of charge.
