How far can electric cars REALLY go?? – we drive 12 until they DIE! Tesla, BYD & more | What Car?

I think I speak for all non-UK based viewers: would you please add the metric system equivalent to the miles and mph you mention during the video? A simple text overlayed on the video would suffice. Thank you!

Ah the Jeep Avenger. Awarded car of the year before there were even pre-production test units. There definitely wasn't any back-door dealings there. Pinnacle of quality

It's insane to think that just 35 years back (which, in the grand scheme of things is not that long ago), you could have bought a 2-4 bedroom house in the London suburbs within the price range of these cars!

I have a hard time comprehending how such high-budget and professionally produced piece of content can make financial sense to provide for free on the internet! 12 brand new EVs, on a closed off private track all recorded by a team of professionals and presented by two great journalists. Really good job guys, no doubt you've got one of my likes

Now I get why toyota keep saying bad stuff about EV while themself making such a bad EV. Its horrid.

Excellent. Would have loved to see the Ioniq 5 and 6 and Model Y in this too…

as James May said, it's more likly recharge anxiety not range anxiety. & i can't agree more

Insane test! Best comparison i've ever seen! Well done!

The heat pump makes a much bigger difference with short daily journeys, bringing the batter and cabin temperature up from cold, to body temperature each time. Constant driving makes less difference.

For context, the Tesla superchargers price right now ranges from 0.38p to 0.55p/kWh, much less than £0.79p/kWh.... but not just that! it shows you the price in the car, for that day, with a bar chart which shows the varying prices at different times of the day.

Well Done What Car, a very well put together video. I think you have been listening to the comments!

Well here in Ipswich South East Queensland we complain when winter temperatures are less than 10°c but our problem with batteries is when our summer temperatures exceed 35°c. In parts of western Queensland summer temperatures can exceed 45°c From what i have read batteries also hate heat. Could you please give some insight into battery performance in hot climates. Also how about a cost analysis of an electric vehicle versus a hybrid on a drive from London to Lands End and return in the shortest possible time. Thanks forvyour informative comparison.

An interesting test would be to repeat this on the same cars but with them all being 3 years old... Nice work!

I think an interesting test would be new against 5yrs old second hand cars range and depreciation and costs involved .

YouTube should just use Ai to add an auto converter for weights and measurements that would briefly appear on screen whenever needed.

That's a very good test and a lovely video. Thank you ✌️

Did you also measure how much energy the cars needed to full charge again? That is much more interesting than calculate efficiency acoording to claimed usable size of battery. VW for example works in reality with some 72 kWh instead of claimed 77 kWh according to many other test and measurements.

Model 3 is still the efficiency king ,cheers guys 👍😉💪

This was such a great test. Subbed

Is it just me or is it outrageous that on average these are 30% short of claimed range. What’s that about?
