VW ID4 VS TESLA MODEL 3 S X VS AUDI E-TRON VS HYUNDAI KONA VS KIA E-NIRO RANGE EFFICIENCY AND CHARGING

EV Channels Review

This video presents a comprehensive real-world comparison of several family-sized electric vehicles, focusing on efficiency and charging speed. The test, conducted under optimal conditions (warm weather, convoy driving), revealed significant variations. The Tesla Model 3 Long Range emerged as a standout for its exceptional efficiency (4.76 miles/kWh) and rapid charging, enabling it to depart for the return journey in just 7 minutes. The Hyundai Kona also impressed with its efficiency (4.7 miles/kWh), offering a theoretical range of over 300 miles. While the Audi e-tron and Tesla Model X were less efficient, they compensated with faster charging speeds. The older Tesla Model S 85 demonstrated respectable efficiency and range degradation over seven years. The VW ID.4 performed adequately but was outshone in efficiency by others. The Kia e-Niro, while efficient, was slightly less so than its Hyundai Kona counterpart. The review highlights that while some EVs excel in efficiency and others in charging speed, all tested vehicles are deemed capable family cars, with the Kona and e-Niro praised for their value.
