TESLA VS ELECTRIC CAR VS HYBRID REVIEW – 1000-MILE TEST! WHICH IS REALLY CHEAPEST?

EV Channels Review

This extensive 1000-mile road trip comparison pits the Kia Sportage Hybrid against the Peugeot e-3008 and the Tesla Model Y to determine the most convenient and cost-effective option for long journeys. The Kia Sportage Hybrid emerged as the clear winner in terms of convenience, requiring only two fuel stops over the entire trip, significantly less than the EVs. However, its fuel economy was surprisingly poor for a hybrid, leading to a total fuel cost of £197.29. The Tesla Model Y, despite taking longer with 10 charging stops totaling nearly 4 hours, proved to be the cheapest, costing only £130.09 for the journey, especially when utilizing Superchargers. The Peugeot e-3008, with 8 charging stops and over 5 hours of charging time, was the least convenient EV and more expensive than the Tesla at £159.63, largely due to higher charging costs outside of Tesla's network. While the Sportage excels in practicality and build quality, the Model Y offers superior boot space and a more reliable navigation system for EV charging. The Peugeot's interior and infotainment system were criticized for their quality and usability.
