      Pretty risky, though. You might want to make a 30 min charge somewhere along the way (with 50kW DC fast charge option 30min gives you an extra 100 miles, or 48 miles with standard 22kW)

      In reality, it's how you drive who defined how much is the range.
      For example, in high way it would be like 200/250km, depending of your speed like 100 or 110km/h, for instance, it's 20kwh~22kwh/100km
      Others while, in city it's 8kwh/100km, almost 500km

      @Jo Bell - "AAA" recently conducted a test and found, when an EV's heater system is in use, average EV range drops by 41% under combined mixed city/highway driving conditions. So (ie/eg) an EV that's rated to run 100 miles between charges, will now only run 59 miles between charges. Seeing how EV manufacturers/EV dealerships aren't likely going to discuss cold-weather range performance with those that purchase EVs, I can see a lot of unsuspecting EV owners becoming extremely upset if they happen to live in an area (or need to drive to an area) that experiences cold temperatures 1-6+ months out of the year.

    • @Mr.M1STER
      @Mr.M1STER 3 роки тому +4

      Good point, well made. Another point I have heard someone make is what if you are on a journey in cold weather and you get stranded somewhere with a flat battery. You will not be able to "run the engine" to keep the heat going. I get that typically someone with an electric vehicle should be planning their journeys so well that that should never happen but you know what people are like. Many folk have gotten lost in snow storms before.

      I can only give an estimate on a Hyunda KonaE 64....At zero to three degrees celsius I'll reach 390-400km range.
      At 20-22 degrees celsius I'll reach 450-460 km range (which is more than the 449 km wltp claimed range). This numbers are measurde with mostly motorway at a speed of 100km/h (which is the speed limit in the Netherlands at the moment) and a little in town. Maximum range , when you're really trying to get as far as possible, 85km/h is more than 500km in conditions when you do not need heater or airco.
      I'm driving at least every week a roundtrip of about 360 km. Never needed to go to a (fast)charger on this distance. Starting this after buying this car nearly 2 years ago.

    Had a Honda since january 2022.
    In the colder months (Jan - Mar) range was easily sub-100 and nearer 80 but as a city car (and that's what it's marketed as) that's not an issue.
    With warmer weather and holidays, we've done several 100-110 trips on A-roads with some dual carriageway/motorway driving and hilly/scenic B-roads and got as low as 9% battery on those trips before hitting a charger - a bit nervy but more confident now we've done it a few times.
    We stopped in very rural Perthshire and had a chat with someone who worked for a Honda dealer and he was impressed how far we'd come.
    Planning is key - have a spread of charging points planned and avoid hills.
    Do we like it? Hell, yes.

    I stopped at a motorway service area in southern England recently & noticed that out of 12 charging points provided, five were not working & when I returned two days later the same five were still out of order. This is an issue that the industry is going to have to tackle if EVs are going to become mainstream.

    and it takes 5 mins to give me another 600 miles range. Thats pretty much what it did when new!
    Im a vehicle detailer. I considered an EV van once... But......
    Ive recently been to a company that ended its lease early and dumped its entire EV van fleet, because they are simply not fit for purpose.
    The vans allegedly have a 200 mile range, but one you load them for a days work. (In this case building and plumbing) that additional weight drops the range from an acceptable 200 miles to just 50 miles. They couldnt do a days work without a 3 hour midday recharge.
    I also drive to and from London, from the North in the same day on a semi regular basis.. I'd have no chance doing that in an EV.

      EVs are not for every use, but for what it's worth, you actually gain time when it's your daily driver and charge from home/workplace, since you don't have to ever go to the gas station, it's just full every morning, so you can't compare charging and fuel-filling times. Also, less maintenance.

    Also, by slowing down at the ends of all the driving you'll get more range, the estimated range is based on prior driving conditions at freeway speeds. I believe manufacturers should list miles per kilowatt, not max range. Gas cars list mpg not range. So a larger battery is no different than a larger gas tank.

Whilst researching what's available I was shocked to read the range smallprint on some of them. For example, 200 mile range, but at 70mph is reduced by half!! 200 mile range is great, but the only time you'll ever want to use that is a motorway drive. 100 mile range is just not good enough for motorway driving.

    If I lived in the city it’s Honda E all day every day. Thing is lovely. Corsa is good if you don’t wanna shout your EV credentials. Up is a decent city car that is badly in need of a refresh, it’s been around for ages. Fair play to the Mini for being fun to drive, most powerful while outperforming it’s range. In the right spec it can look either EV heavy or just like a Cooper ICE car which it’s clever. e-208 is lovely inside but marmite whether you like the dials. EV range is disappointing vs quoted. Finally the Zoe which is the best car here which makes sense as it’s also the most mature platform. I think it looks smart and the interior is vastly improved. Also it’s the cheapest on finance by a mile. Long as you like it’s looks it’s easily the smart choice. That being said I’d still have the Honda if range wasn’t my primary concern.

    I really like the design of the little Renault. It's got the cute and endearing face that you'd expect from a tiny little city car, but it wears it's little diamond badge so proudly. In all, though, if the range were better, I'd rather have the Honda for all the whiz-bang gadgetry and the more retro-modern styling of the interior. Only if I had a second car with more range and a bit more comforting road presence to take on long trips on the motorway. None of that particularly matters, though, since I'm in the US and essentially none of those vehicles are available here because we're backwards and nobody buys small cars.
