Telsa again - Electric Jesus can no longer be believed.
The accuracy of claimed electric vehicle range varies significantly in reality – and between brands – according to a study by US consumer publication, Consumer Reports(CR).
The study of 22 electric vehicles included some of the most popular makes and models, revealing several fell short of their advertised Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) range by as much as 80 kilometres – while some bettered their official claim.
The process saw vehicles – each having been purchased anonymously by the publication – driven at a constant 113km/h until they ran out of battery charge, regardless of the distance-to-empty dash reading.
The worst offenders, according to CR, included the Tesla Model S Long Range and the Lucid Air Touring, both falling 64km short of their 653km and 618-mile ranges, respectively.
