Only one in 25 e-cars arrives without recharging!

Following in the footsteps of the Norwegian motorists' association NAF, the ÖAMTC has now also carried out a winter range test with electric cars - not on the road, however, but on the test bench. Surprisingly, only one model made it without recharging. All tables and results can be found here at a glance.

For the current study in cooperation with the ADAC, 25 long-distance electric cars, i.e. vehicles with a WLTP range of at least 500 kilometers, were tested. In order to create exactly the same conditions, all vehicles were sent to the test bench of the ADAC test laboratory on a simulated 580-kilometre stretch of freeway between Munich and Berlin (including realistic traffic conditions, uphill and downhill gradients, etc.).
