Best EV Car – New Electric Car Reviews

I drove these new electric cars (and a Petrol V8) until they died

Get 20% off Vehicle Vertical using code Carwow:

Can a few of the most recent electrical automobiles on sale in 2025 go far enough on a single charge?

To find out, we have actually gathered 6 various cars and trucks, charged them all to 100% battery, and we're visiting which can travel the furthest! But not just will we see which goes the furthest, we'll also see how each car compares to its declared optimum variety on a single charge.

For this video, we have actually got our hands on a range of various cars. We have the new Tesla Model Y, the Kia EV6, and the Skoda Enyaq Coupe. We've likewise got our hands on three of the newest Chinese cars and trucks on sale in the UK – the BYD Sealion 7, the Xpeng G6, and the Leapmotor C10.

All of the automobiles we have here are the longest variety variations that are on sale today, and when taking a look at the declared variety, the Tesla needs to be winning this test …

Claimed Varies:
– Tesla Design Y: 387 miles
– Kia EV3: 375 miles
– Skoda Enyaq Coupe: 365 miles
– Xpeng G6: 354 miles
– BYD Sealion 7: 312 miles
– Leapmotor C10: 263 miles

However as we have actually discovered in previous variety tests, some electric cars can have a hard time to come near to their declared range!

So the concern is, will the Tesla hold on and take a trip the outermost? Or will one of the other automobiles snatch the win? You'll require to stick with Mat and the group to discover for yourself!

Thanks to for helping us with this video!

      For a good reason. Good luck using that full tank of diesel on a dead planet. What’s the point in having that much range when it’s just for an annual road trip anyway and otherwise never utilized? Well hey, synthetic fuels are still a possibility to keep ICE around, I’m not against ICE I’m a lifetime enthusiast, just against fossil fuels.

      So you got 36 miles to the gallon. Drove it for 15 years. Let’s imagine you did a modest 10,000 miles a year. Using current fuel costs…that would cost you over £25,000 in just fuel. An EV charged at home would only cost £3,000.

    Nearly 8 hours to Drive 330 miles. It would be interesting to see the total time taken with comfort breaks each driver had to take driving a full work shift. This would then show how much of overall time could have been used to recharge the car without eating into the journey time.

    I think it’s wrong to rank them by total range, as it depends on battery size. They should be ranked by % of claimed range or km/miles per kwh.

    That way all electric cars compete more evenly, as some electric cars have larger batteries than others.

      Was just about to post the same – you can’t rate them on how far they go when they all start with different ranges. Rank them on efficiency and getting the most miles per unit of energy, just the same as we have been doing for decades for ICE cars (mpg or km/l)

      In the EV era, range really matters most. It’s not just about efficiency per kWh because at the end of the day, drivers care about how far they can actually go on a single charge. Bigger battery = longer range, and that’s a real advantage. In EVs, the larger the capacity, the better . more flexibility, less charging anxiety, and more practicalit

    I recently drove from Nottingham to Aberdeen and back again on one and a half tanks worth of diesel in my 21 year old 1.9TD VW Caddy van. When I did stop for diesel it took me around 7 minutes or so to fill up and pay, and I had no problem finding a filling station. I bought the van new back in 2004 and while it may not have a fancy screen or touch controls, it does have climate control, cruise control, heated seats and electric windows, it also has a decent digital radio (aftermarket) wihich also accepts my ipod. It went in for it’s MOT earlier this week, it just needed a back box on the exhaust and it passed, and that’s with 252000 miles on the clock. It still drives nice because I’ve had it serviced on the button and look after it, and I reckon my old van is actually better for the envrioment than any electric car, because while a lot of folk swap their car / van every 3 to 5 years or so therefore necessitating a new vehicle to be made with the carbon emmisions that entails, no new van has had to be built for me, it might not be fancy but it does the job and I wonder how many of the electric cars featured in this video will still be driving 21 years from now, or will they even exist?
