Test: This is how far the battery charge in electric cars really goes

This is how the AUTO BILD test round works
In reality, there is rarely 100 percent of the range specified by the manufacturer.
Of the City portion amounts to 40 kilometers, 61 kilometers lead over Country roads. We drive this section at a leisurely pace, avoiding full throttle. On one 54 kilometers long section of the motorway we drive what the road traffic regulations give – inclusive 20 kilometers full throttle. Back at our gas station in Hamburg, we calculate based on the refilled fuel or electricity the Average consumption. Attention: e-cars with you higher top speed have a small one with this measurement method disadvantage. A Polestar 2, for example, runs at a top speed of 205 km / h in the top version, other electric cars are automatically limited much earlier. E-cars with a high top speed therefore tend to perform worse in this test.

Serious underperformer: The Fiat 500e has almost 100 km less range in everyday life than on the test bench.
New electric car test: the Autobahn tour
The real consumption tests go even further: The AUTO BILD test round dates back to the time of combustion – and that’s why AUTO BILD has extra for the Stromer recently another additional test mode thought up: the 130 km / h motorway tour. Reason: Motorway trips are for Batteries the greatest burden – no recuperation, high wind resistance – that’s why e-test cars now drive a motorway tour at strictly 130 km / h. It is first fully charged, then turned directly onto the long-distance route and over a distance of approx. 200 kilometers recommended speed drove. The total consumption is measured at the end of the journey – and the average is then determined.
