    As stated gas mileage is never reached in real life. The thing is how close it is without driving like a very old grandma.

    Before I watched the video.
    My experience with my EV is that the WLTP range promised can be done with the car in summertime.
    Drivinmg speed : constant the max allowed speed (not speeding of coarse) in the Netherlands which is 100 km/h.
    Sometimes I even get more km than promised.
    Also , wgen I bought vthe car the dealer explained that the range in summer differs from winter , but , no surprise of coarse, this is also valif for all ice cars...using more petrol in cold than in warm wether.
    Of coarse...you need to drive correctly, using ONLY regen on the highway....no mechanocal braking...which easily can be achieved or use the ASCC to drive.
    And remember... the promised range is for not one car (WLTP) valid when you drive 130 km/h.Not for ICE and not for EV.
    I do not see more lying by EV car builders as by ICE car builders.

      After seeining the video. Rapid accelerating does NOT affect the range a lot. Even when using more power during accelerating....the time needed for accelerating will be shorter. Hard braking (using the brakepads and discs DOES effect the range a lot. Please be accurate and seperate those 2 in your videos.
      I know that a lot of people do both ...hard accelerating and hard braking...but not all.
      (For tyre life...valid for all cars...gently driving is better...not slow but avoid fast speed changing and fast going in curves.).
      Tyre pressure: This affects all cars the same...ICE and EV's.
      I wonder why so many people complain about this in EV's....when exactly the same problems are facts with ICE cars.
      As I know that someone reached 8-9 km on one liter diesel in the same car model in which I could go more than 24 km on 1 liter diesel.

      no doubt driving habits will effect range. As the battery ages it will lose the ability to store and maintain a charge affecting range.
      Did you not see the news of what happened to EVs this winter in northern us? Range goes from 300 miles to 30 miles in a snow storm. I expect to see more dangerous issues in hot places like phoenix this summer. The hole EV thing is a joke. There is no way to build the car with out burning barrels of fossil fuel. Then the EV car will never last as long as the cheapest ICE.
      If the world really CARED they would do a few very simple things with laws.
      1. set speed limits to 50mph. This would make EVs feasible.
      2. stop all non emergency air travel.
      3. stop letting people drive their 400 square foot home around the country.
      4. stop all off road vehicles.
      5. stop the construction of over sized houses.
      6. Charge power and fuel on a sliding scale. The more you use the more it costs. Let the rich pay for their over consumption.
      Each person could do the following.
      1. live near where you work and walk.
      2. live in a house that fit your actual needs. No one needs a 200 sf bed room.
      3. get rid of that ff cell phone. Life was nicer with out them.
      4. etc.....

      @@lostvisitor Why stop flying? On high altitude the air resistance is less as on ground level.
      A (modern) jet engine is more energy efficient as a ICE combustion engine (49% against 25%...a propellor-electric plane engine would reach 75% efficiency)
      Also no roll resistance in the air. For each passengerkm an airplane uses LESS energy as with driving a car when sitting alone in the car.
      You mention driving in a snowstorm in the US...taht is a bad idea for all cars (getting stuck). The most important I know about winterdriving: It's very easy in Norway...also cold in winter. (Of coarse contrary to the US the charging infra is good in Norway).
      My range is in winter (zero celsius to minus 2) ca 385km (Heating is done with a heatpump), summer/wltp is 430. Max is ca 445km at 100 km/h (62 mph).
      I've no reason to doubt which car last longer..EV or ICE.
      An EV has less moving parts, less trembling (due to the combustion engine) and a battery liftime for at least 400000 km (1000 cycli charging). Modern batteries are not tested enough yet, but the say they would last 1500 or more cycli.Which is 600000 km.I have rarely seen an ICE car (petrol) going that far.
      Diesel ...older ones...yes they can do that but not very often on the first engine.
      If you're unlucky enough to buy a car with the distrubution belt built in the engine (ford ecoboost, PSA cars) the replacing of that belt, needed every 90000 km..5 times in 450000 km , replacing brakes (discs/pads), waterpump, and clutch is , during liftime, not cheaper than replacing a battery.
      And...My energy costs for 30000 km/year on electricity are at least 3000 euro less as petrol would cost me for this distance for a same sized car.
      But ...different country, different taxes on energy....

      @@reiniernn9071 ha you think -2 is cold. I'm talking below -10 Those few degrees matter. In Canada this winter they were seeing -30
      yes plains are more efficient once at altitude. But this is the problem with the environment movement. You only look at the solution in a small box in the best situation. Flying is by far the most energy intensive method of transportation. Train is the most efficient.
      I work as a mechanic and see EVs and Hybrids regularly. I don't know where you are getting your numbers for battery life but they are so wrong. Real life shows much shorter life span. EVs go through tires twice as fast as ICE as well as breaks. The breaking system is down right scary. An Electric pump is used for break boost. It can go out with out warning and you just lost most of your breaking power. Then the part is way expensive 2000$ or more on a 10 year old car with half its range gone is not worth the money.
      Norway is much smaller than the US so trips will be shorter and slower with less stress on the batteries.
      I have seen news articles on people buying a brand new car and they damaged the battery. The new battery is almost more than a new car. I know for the older cars they are in the thousands. Replacing a 200$ water pump here fuel pump there, it's all spread out over the years. Americans have a strange love affair with their automobiles. I just did 1500$ of work on a car that is only worth 2000$ I don't see the same love for EVs
      I challenge you my friend to dig deeper, don't take what one side is telling you to believe find the truth.

      it is partially a different way of lie (ice usually do its sold range in highways at constant speed, evs are do that closer in slower driving), so the expectation is different. the second part that evs much more dependent on factors that are not considered in ice cars, like the usage of heater (ice use the waste heat of the engine, evs use an actual heater) and such. also the outside temp much more relevant, just as the added weight of anything.
      the much bigger issue is the charging networks limited existence. if an ice runs low on fuel, you are just a few km away from a station and you can refuel in minutes, for evs, it is a hunt for a charger and much longer in best case scenarios, much-much longer in worst case.
