6 Electric SUV Driving Tests Until The Battery Runs Out, Who Is The Most In Accordance With The Travel Distance?

Polestar 4. (Doc. Polestar)

JAKARTA - In a rare trial, the UK online buying and selling site electric car (EV), Car Wow, tested the travel capability of six electric SUVs in real-world conditions and was documented to their Youtube channel.

All of the electric SUVs being tested are European specifications and all cars have been filled with 100 percent of the batteries. The result? Quite a lot of surprises from the test.

Although the travel figure claimed by manufacturers is often different from the real world results, this test provides a more accurate picture of the performance of electric vehicles in their daily conditions.

Launching InsideEvs, Monday, December 9, the electric SUVs tested were Polestar 4, Porsche Macan, Tesla Model Y, Ford Explorer, Kia EV 6, and Audi Audi Q4 E-Tron.

The results of this trial confirmed Polestar 4 of Geely as the winner. With a 94 kWh battery, Polestar 4 managed to cover the furthest distance, reaching about 333 miles (536 km) or 90 percent of the WLTP travel distance claim.

Next in the second position is the Porsche Macan. With a 95 kWh battery, the Tigers are in second place with an impressive distance of 512 km.

Then the Tesla Model Y, although it has the smallest battery (75 kWh) among the tested cars, the Model Y managed to cover a distance of almost 473 km.

Here's the full table for the test

It is also stated that there are a number of factors that affect testing from battery sizes where larger batteries generally produce longer distances. Furthermore, aerodynamic design, vehicle weight, and electric motor efficiency also play an important role. And of course environmental conditions such as temperature, topography, and driving style can affect travel distance.

This trial shows that electric vehicles, especially SUVs, have reached a significant level of progress. However, it is important to consider factors such as energy efficiency and battery size when choosing electric vehicles.

In addition, keep in mind that weather conditions, driving style, and topography can affect actual travel distances. Therefore, it is important to consider these factors when planning trips by electric vehicles.
