We’ve got our hands on some of the latest and greatest electric cars, and we’re setting off on another EV range test to see just how far they will they travel on a single charge!
For this test, we’ve got our hands with the all-new Porsche Taycan Performance Battery Plus, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, the BMW i5 eDrive 40, the BYD Seal Design, 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 closer look at the stats. The Taycan comes with a 97kWh battery and is apparently good for a range of 421 miles. Next up we have the Polestar 2 Long Range, equipped with a 79kWh battery that can reach 406 miles. Following that comes the Model 3, which has a 75kWh battery and the ability to go 390 miles.
Next up is the Mercedes, which is packing an 89kWh battery and has the ability to reach 380 miles. The penultimate car is the BMW i5, with an 81kWh battery that will send it up to 362 miles. And finally, it’s the BYD, which rolls up with an 82.5kWh battery with a claimed range of 354 miles.
So which do you think will go the furthest? Will it be an easy win for the Porsche? There’s only one way to find out… Let’s kick off this EV range test! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
CLAIMED RANGE OF THE CARS IN KILOMETRES:
1. Porsche Taycan: 678km (421 miles)
2. Polestar 2 Long Range: 653km (406 miles)
3. Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 628km (390 miles)
4. Mercedes EQE: 612km (380 miles)
5. BMW i5: 583km (362 miles)
6. BYD Seal: 570km (354 miles)

£93,000 for that BMW is absolutely insane.
Yeah, a shitty German electric car at a cost of 2 houses outside the city or 1 in the city in my country. I just feel sorry for anyone who buys it in the end 😢
It is a big car ngl
They just absolutely overslept the start of ev‘s and are stuck in the early adopter phase like mercedes was like 4-6 years ago.
German car companies totally forgot to get ready in the ev space … bmw being the most stubbern 😅
Thats why they charge horrendous prices for shit performance and probably shit quality as well.
@@heinzkot360maybe they are just trying to make the people less interested in eva
2nd hand prices after 2-3 years (BMW included) will be the shock, its only worth doing as PCP/Leasing of these things. A friend of mine had his Tesla Model S for around 35 months and the instruments cluster, and a CPU controller failed, Telsa quoted it needed to be replace. It was covered under warranty but without it, Tesla said it would cost..... £2,500 including labour and full diagnostics. The parts are c£1.5k, but even a reasonable car mechanic can't do the work for legal reasons in the EU now. They said in a few years the parts would be close to c£2K plus. BMW/Merc have the highest parts prices in EU, hate to think what that would cost!. BMW is the nicest model there (possibly) but parts, insurance etc wow. I hope 10 Years warranty for £93K is included.
What a nightmare it must have been to edit all these go pro footage and find the exact timing for range checks. Editors need a raise

I still don't understand why, in rainy UK charge points are open to the elements and don't have roofs.
Because they are tight AF. 😂😂😂
Even petrol stations have roofs that barely cover the pumps so when you fuel your trousers get wet.
It's only electricity what could possibly go wrong?
Yea the chargers may be built to withstand rain but they didn’t think to account for drivers 🙄
I've done a lot of supercharging in Europe and some are covered, often with a solar array. That said, a decent charge can easily take ~20min, and there's usually facilities nearby, so you plug it in and get a cup of tea.
Pumps these days are different, I don't know about the UK, but most pumps in Europe don't "lock" anymore (I think there was some law against it, not sure), so you're forced standing there like a teapot for a couple minutes, then a bit of a roof is nice to have.
lol imagine thinking it doesn’t rain in other countries😂😂😂
My favourite series... Takes a lot of effort and planning and it's worth it...!!
"There should be a law against this sh*t"
I've been saying that for years! A driver should not Have To "find" essential buttons while driving. And airco is essential!
Yeah. Watching tv while driving is illegal but fumbling around searching for critical car features is fine.
@@TheTruthKiwi 100% agree. I can imagine this will last long. I drove one of these for the first time and fiddling around for heating controls whilst using navigation was a mess. Horrible experience.

50:00 error, BYD should be 87% of the claimed range😅
getting a bit fed up with the constant drag races, this is a refreshing change
MATT likes races in DRAG w/ Pantyhose & heels...........lol.
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
The dragraces have never been a review, theyre a show.
@@Richard-tq7xiwell thats a very surprising stat.
A number of other car reviewing channels have already done this sort of range testing.
Could we have a similar test of the cheaper EV's? Peugeot, VW, MG etc.
Motorized cabin vents are the dumbest, most unnecessarily overcomplicated change I've ever seen in a car.
So you remove ALL the interior buttons, levers, stalks, and knobs to cut costs.. but you motorize air vents...
Does that justify the lack of hard surface controls? Tell me how that makes sense.
Also this video told me how important unpowered neutral engagement is in a vehicle. A lot of these cars were so close to the charging stations but couldn't make it cuz they can't engage neutral like gas cars can.
Side note: That Taycan is still a really attractive car. By far my favorite electric car on the market right now.
Isn't it just about fan speed distribution inside the slit in the Model 3 to control the air flow?
Enjoy reaching all the way over to adjust passengers air vent. There is absolutely nothing wrong with motorized vents.
Who adjusts the passanger air vents while driving??
@@Draxi_1 Yes, but you also have to control the direction the air blows in through the screen.
@@Ejou402 Absolutely nothing wrong? Apart from taking a simple control which has worked for about 100 years and needlessly overengineering it to make it more complex, another failure point, and more difficult to use especially while driving? Madness that you think there is absolutely nothing wrong. And guess what genius you don't really need to adjust the passenger's air vent if there is no passenger...
A BMW 5 series diesel has a 67 litre fuel tank and it can average 50 mpg quite easily. That gives you a range of around 737 miles. More than double any of these electric cars. It's also around 20 grand cheaper and won't depreciate like a stone.
How big is your Bladder? I'd have to stop to pee
5 min pee stop
If you drive enough to care about this kind of range, you'll save way more on fuel.
Provided the charging infrastructure is decent, which admittedly in the UK is a bit hit and miss, the car being able to do 737 miles is not such a big deal. Firstly, the 737 miles are assuming you left home with a full tank (which is unlikely unless you're living next to a petrol station). With an EV you can top up at home and leave with 100%.
Secondly, who is driving 300 miles without making a stop? Very few people. And on those stops, you can top up an EV with electricity.
Yes it will, its a BMW they all depreciate. As an I8 and M4 owner, can confirm, I lost a lot of money

“Nick here is claustrophobic” proceeds to cram him in the boot and then add another larger man to the outside space
That was in this video.
@@oggyoggy1299 I know… that’s where the reference is from…
With Tesla’s massive efficiency lead, if they only put bigger batteries in their cars they could easily have the longest range. But Elon argues 350-400 miles real world range is more than enough. Then you need a break at a supercharger anyway. So they’d rather make the cars lighter and cheaper. 🤷🏻♂️
P.S.: I’m not hating on Tesla, in fact they seem to be striking a good balance. Just making an observation.
I have no issues with that but at least give the option of a higher battery. It is not normal that other manufacturer provide 85 to 100kW batteries and Tesla give only 75 for the LR. That's a bit like what Apple does. The issue with smaller batteries is that they are more prone to aging. Smaller batteries lose % faster than larger batteries.
If they put bigger batteries in that adds more weight which hampers efficiency and driving dynamics. Tesla has got it just right.
They already have massive quality problems with their suspension parts. They would just collapse with heavier batteries. Tesla model 3 has the lowest realiability of any car in Europe. The "efficiency" is mainly due to these sort of savings that make the cars lighter than the competition (and are ironically sold as minimalist as an explanation for e.g. why you don't get a screen in front of you). But this sort of cheap construction also means they won't last very long. They are designed like mobile phones - 3 years and you should buy a new one. That's why you can buy the old ones almost for free.
@@tobiwan001 Why are you lying?
@@m.a3914 don't criticize Tesla or Elon. It is forbidden in the cult.
that bmw sillouette at 13:38 is beautiful
All surprisingly close when it comes to range, besides the BMW
The efficiency of the Tesla is what really sets it apart from the rest of the competition.
Not a Tesla fan, bit I admit that over 20 miles on 0% battery is impressive and gives one a feeling of safety.
Trashsla.
Wasn't seeing this comment in the previous test they did where tesla only got 75% of its claimed range. But hey they are improving. Taycan wins though. 😊
@@G82WattsTesla more efficient 👍
@@G82Wattswow you actually gave a positive comment for Tesla for once! And yeah the Taycan wins the range test, and I was hoping it win too.

correct, inacceptable, meanwhile, you can't fiddle with your smartphone, but this is AS dangerous !
Physical or not, you don NOT fiddle with your center controls like this while you are in traffic. Amazing how people blame their own lack of proper safety and planning on a car.
And NO, this wouldn´t have ended any different if he had to fumble around with knobs.
no, best example why you should focus on driving the car when you're inside a roundabout instead of fiddling with your car controls (physical or not).

I work at durham services, can confirm the new chargers are ready and working, those 2 gridserve ones were absolutely shit and would break all the time, the hotel ones being ac only makes sense because overnight charging for hotel guests
Genuinely the best videos Carwow does.
Great stuff!!! These are REAL range tests in real . . . sometimes real bad conditions. My son has the RWD Polestar and the mileage and efficiency sounds right about on the mark. I have the SE AWD Ioniq 6 and it probably would get what the Polestar got based on "family" experience. Lots and lots of 300+ milers on the market now!
Goes to show how impressive Tesla actually is... Their tech is second to none. I just wish the interior wasn't crap, and was like a normal car and it would be excellent.
The interiors are decent - just overly fond of using tech when we like physical buttons. It’s a good idea in concept but hard for people to adapt to.
Bro the interior in Tesla's are better than any other car at the same price. Even Matt said when we all know he's not a fan of Tesla. Get over it
Nice to see real-world tests. The problem is that you can take two drivers on two different days and get two different effecncy numbers. The longer the run, the more the different runs will differ by.
Great video! Tanks!! :D
pls make a version w/ low budget cars :D
I love watching these videos. Watching Matt driving up the motorway in electric cars and then watching him break down. THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!
It would be cool to watch one where they do Electric vs Hybrid vs NA. Obviously, we know who would win, but it would be interesting to see the distance between them.
These EV have soo much range now it's more than enough for vast majority drivers. ICE Vechiles including Hybrids with massive amount of range is for the niche driver who do several hundred miles frequently many dozens of times per year. That's a massive amount of your life spent on the road.
finally range test
Brilliant video. Thank you and the team.
I love range tests they are so fun and it’s amazing to see the improvements in just a couple years
I just want to appreciate Matt for keeping his promise on delivering this video to us. I know how long I have asking for an Ev range test video and I must say, it was worth the wait. Thank you Matt. We do want and expect more of the type of videos. Cheers
These are my favourite Carwow Videos
Things are improving. I had an original Taycan Cross Turismo 4S and at most would get 210 miles, and in the winter no more than 190. I sold it as it wasn't good enough. 368 miles is a game changer though.
What a great video, they are one of my favorites and I'm looking forward to the next one.🎉🎉
Having to take your eyes of the road to adjust heat/air & look at screen is EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS. Old style switches can easily be adjusted WITHOUT TAKING EYES OFF THE ROAD. Eyes off the road for Split second can be life threatening. ✌️
Temp control is always in the same place on the front screen bottom right, dont need to look at the screen to change the temp or turn on/off. Muscle memory like a car with switches. Or just adjust the temp with your scroll wheel on of steering wheel. Or just tell the car to change it with your voice.
you an use chatgbt in news cars now
@@darren6028 Mr.Watson was forced to take eyes off road looking at the screen trying to figure it out while driving. Were u watching different vid ?? Or do u work for car company ??
@@davidpaul6615 Mr Watson clearly doesnt know how to use the car properly. As you said, using switches you don't need to look, but you learn where they are during ownership. Jumping into a car with switches, you would need to look for them while driving until you learn where they are. Its no different.
@@davidpaul6615you cna press one button on the steering wheel and say it's hot in here and it turns the air cooler. Or say other things like "raise the temperature" etc.

These tests are so great!! Great job 👍👍
Total real range is interesting but not as important as efficiency.
No one ever brags about the size of their petrol tank, just their miles per gallon.
I’m glad you converted and showed us their miles/kwh
It matters for EVs because charging while out sucks.
The reason range doesn't matter in petrol cars is because it takes two to three minutes to "recharge" from 1 to 100% and "recharging" stations are everywhere, available, and always working.
Except in these comments there ARE people bragging about the size of their tanks haha!

Absolutely love these electric range tests! Just one thing I've noticed is that at 24:28 Matt says that the Tesla is the first to have a 'froot' but pretty sure the BYD seal also has one (albeit smaller). That is for the aussie model though but wouldn't imagine it would change for the european market.
Honestly, 350 miles from the Tesla is not bad at all for a £50k ev, especially because it was on the highway (where evs are least efficient) and it wasnt in the most efficient driving mode
And because it's Awd while others were rear wheel drive single motor
Its the fastest car here as well right? And this 30:38
As much as Tesla gets hate, it smashed everyone else here by miles.
It costs half the price of the top 2, but almost matched their range, got way better efficiency, is way faster, and drives way more like a sports car...
Across all the time that CarWow has been testing these cars, Tesla is still miles ahead of the competition, wild...

Ha, glad to see that efficiency in the video. I think that's a dual motor too! in the summer I often do 5 miles/kwh in my model 3 RWD...it's so efficient that other EV owners think you're lying or driving really slow or something...but there the model 3 is, driving at the same speed on the same road as everyone else, getting crazy good efficiency.
That's also why you can't just look at max charging speed numbers as well, because the model 3 is getting more range on the same amount of energy.
Can you do this with supercars?
you cant afford supercars

Which of these cars would need a full lift truck if you run out of battery ? Which of these cars can be towed by another car too?
No EV can be towed with the drive wheels on the ground. Electric vehicles do not have true neutral gears, and spinning the electric motor without power would continue to generate electricity and possibly kill the control electronics.
@@aspecreviews so dont drive your EV till zero, so you can tow it for short distances
AA have free wheeling hubs if they really need to tow an EV, but most of the time they will just charge the car and drive it if out of range.
@@aspecreviewsthis is not quite correct
@@aspecreviewsthen how does regen work 😂 bro there's a tow mode on the Tesla (and the others I hope) and you can tow an electric car a few hundred meters to reach a charger no problem. If your ICE breaks down you're not going to tow it with another car for 30 miles, same with an EV.
Feel the same about the i5. I liked it at first, and then when I went to test drive I didn't like it as much and ended up getting the i4 M50 which I like more and more every day. Also, for anyone doing research. i4 M50 is doing 3.2 Kwh. But we're dealing with all wheel-drive at 536 hp, and these are non-highway stats. Also, i4 and I believe i5 also has different regen settings. 3 to be exact. I keep mine in the middle, but If i put low the car will act a lot like an ICE vehicle.

Would you consider doing the test with 3 to 4 extra passengers, to simulate a normal family trip and car usage (clicking on displays, ect. ) ?
GPS is always active in a car. The only substantial difference an accessory could make is anything A/C or heating related. Because otherwise for example the Tesla has 2 subwoofers which consume more power than the base sound system in the Mercedes (it doesn't have an electrically operated booth so I don't think it has the upgraded sound system) . The Tesla has a screen in the back which consumes power, the other cars don't have one. All those things are not controllable and don't consume a lot of power compared to the electric motors of the cars. They also need to check the tire pressure and if they put 4 people in the cars to simulate a family, they need 4×7=28 to sit in a car for an entire day. Like there are points of improvements to these tests but some things are not possible to do. And what if the person watching doesn't have a family? It's not going to match their situation you know
Love this series. Thanks!
And it’s stunning how good the Tesla is. It is one of the least expensive cars with also one of the smallest batteries in this test. And still nailed it. Imagine Tesla would upgrade those approx. 2 year old battery generation to a new one with even more KW.

Imagine having the government come check for a tv 😂
I’d rather that than my country which taxes sunlight. They literally count the windows on your house and tax you for it. Loads of our houses now have sealed off their windows facing the streets!
@@PippetWhippet I'd rather have neither. Which country is that?
Imagine not being allowed to cross the street, collect rainwater, get free medical care or buy kinder eggs 🤣
@@craigix ahh yes, the things government has fucked up. Drug *prices* and rain water (in commie states like california) specifically
@@PippetWhippet
Why do you get taxed on windows?
