mikcole, 01 Feb 2024Weight. Big batts = more weight = less efficiencyWell ... Toyota bZ4X is probably the lightest EV SUV, but the efficiency is certainly not ideal.

Incorrect WTLP for Tesla model 3, it got 18” wheels on which means the WTLP is 678km. (Which would then be a 27% range difference)

They should have given more information regarding wheel size as it affects range.

nedzad, 30 Jan 2024completely wrong for bz4xWell they did test all equally it seems. However it could be that some are better at relatively high speed compared to others. The boxy cars especially, and their drag, would likely shorten some of the gap at lower speeds.

Most longer trips would typically go at high speed, though 80 km/h would possibly be more realistic for some. At least for me that is the maximum speed in my roughly 400 km circumference, hence all of these cars would likely have a longer range in my area.

I thinks these statistics are wrong, in your site the Lucid Air Dream Edition range is 900Km

  • nedzad

completely wrong for bz4x

  • 3.4 typo

Regarding the Hyundai, the prose states 4mi/kWh while the table depicts 3.4mi/kWh. Please correct one or both. More information on the average speed for the driving loop would offer meaningful context. Expressing how this particular subset of vehicles were selected would bring clarity.

  • math wins

Hyundai Ioniq 6 476 km 18.1 kWh/100km 74 kWh -> 74/4.76 = 15.6 not 18.1

bigger bettery -> more weight -> less efficiency

If the Model 3 or i5 had a battery that big, they'd surpass the Lucid easily.
