That is the conclusion that consumer consulting organization Consumer Reports came to after conducting test runs of many electric vehicles from the US, Korea, Japan and Germany.
Consumer Reports decided to evaluate the range of all 22 electric car models they tested in the US to see if the actual number on the highway was much different from the parameters advertised by the manufacturer. . The results were quite surprising.
Many electric car models go farther than advertised - 1
Consumer Reports experts drove all electric car models until the battery was completely depleted, so they had to use a tow truck to transport the car back (Photo: Consumer Reports).
Most people still accept the fact that electric vehicles often have shorter operating ranges than advertised. However, Consumer Reports' test results show that some vehicles have a longer operating range than advertised.
Specifically, the results are divided into 3 groups: more (from 20 miles, equivalent to 32km or more), less (from 20 miles or more) or exactly equal to the advertised number (difference less than 20 miles).
In the first group, BMW and Mercedes-Benz account for the majority; Besides, there are Ford and Rivian. The specific list includes the following vehicles:
- BMW i4 M50,
- BMW iX xDrive50,
- Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD Extended Range,
- Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 4Matic,
- Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 350 4Matic,
- Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4Matic,
- Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV 450 4Matic, and
