WHICH IS THE MOST EFFICIENT EV? CONVOY ELIMINATION CONTEST ELECTRIC CARS VS A DIESEL! COST PER MILE?

EV Channels Review

This video pits several efficient EVs against each other in a convoy elimination contest to determine the most cost-effective vehicle per mile. The test simulates a typical commute, with the least efficient car eliminated each lap. The lineup included the Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh, Hyundai Kona 64kWh, MG4 Trophy 64kWh, Cupra Born 58kWh, Tesla Model 3 Standard Range LFP, and Seat Mii. Notably, the older Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh consistently performed well, a testament to its established efficiency. The MG4 was surprisingly eliminated early, attributed possibly to its lack of a heat pump. The Tesla Model 3, a benchmark for efficiency, was eliminated in the third round, with the reviewer suggesting its motorway performance might be stronger. Ultimately, the Seat Mii, driven by the presenter, won the contest with the highest efficiency. The video also provides a compelling comparison to a modern diesel Mercedes estate, concluding that even with higher electricity prices, EVs remain significantly cheaper to run, especially on home charging tariffs, for typical commuting scenarios.
