I drove these NEW electric cars until they DIED!

Sell your car totally free with Carwow:

We've got our hands on a few of the latest and greatest electrical cars, and we're triggering on another EV range test to see just how far they will they take a trip on a single charge!

For this test, we've got our hands with the brand new Porsche Taycan Performance Battery Plus, the Tesla Design 3 Long Variety, the BMW i5 eDrive 40, the BYD Seal Style, the Polestar 2 Long Range, and the Mercedes EQE 300. The question is, how far will they travel compared to their claimed range?

Let's take a more detailed take a look at the stats. The Taycan features a 97kWh battery and is apparently helpful for a series of 421 miles. Next up we have the Polestar 2 Long Range, geared up with a 79kWh battery that can reach 406 miles. Following that comes the Design 3, which has a 75kWh battery and the capability to go 390 miles.

Next up is the Mercedes, which is packing an 89kWh battery and has the capability to reach 380 miles. The penultimate automobile is the BMW i5, with an 81kWh battery that will send it as much as 362 miles. And finally, it's the BYD, which rolls up with an 82.5 kWh battery with a claimed series of 354 miles.

So which do you believe will go the outermost? Will it be a simple win for the Porsche? There's only one method to discover … Let's begin this EV range test!

      Drag races do not show anything about a car , Yeah it can do a quarter mile in x time? Put them on a track like Nurburgring , one will figure out that speed does not mean very much at the end of the day and a person will quickly see just how good the vehicle is and its drivability and handling capabilities

      Mat is right – some of those things should be outlawed. It’s mostly just cost cutting. But surely it costs more to have an electric controk for the vent direction. Why not add a slider?!
