We tested 25 electric cars on a simulated journey from Munich to Berlin at an average temperature of 0°C to assess the performance of electric vehicles in winter conditions, focusing on range, energy consumption, and recharging capabilities.
The ADAC, in collaboration with the ACL, evaluated 25 electric cars on a simulated journey from Munich to Berlin at an average temperature of 0°C. The results show significant variations between the models, with outstanding performance for some high-end cars and other more affordable models.
Without wanting to keep you in suspense, the prize goes to the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+, which managed to cover more than 580 km on a single charge. The Porsche Taycan (504 km) and the Lucid Air (518 km) also performed well. More affordable, the VW ID.7 Pro S (436 km) and the Tesla Model 3 (423 km) were noted as less expensive but equally efficient alternatives in winter conditions.
