A recent test by the British media outlet CarWow compared the real-world range of eight affordable electric vehicles. The goal was to find out which of these cars could travel the furthest on a single charge. The test involved driving each vehicle on the same route from Oxford to Middlesbrough, using major highways like the A43, M1, and A1(M), at the maximum speed allowed (70 mph, or about 113 km/h) until their batteries were nearly empty. The test continued in a safe area to fully drain the batteries. Among the vehicles tested, the Microlino, a small electric quadricycle not classified as a standard car, performed slightly better than its official range of 114 miles (about 183 km) according to the World Light-duty Test Procedure (WLTP) standard. It managed 115 miles (about 185 km) in the test. However, it couldn't match the speed of other vehicles on the motorway due to its speed limit of 57 mph (about 92 km/h). The Fiat Grande Panda also outperformed its official WLTP range, traveling 325 km (about 202 miles) compared to its stated 320 km (about 199 miles). The Hyundai Inster came out on top, covering 341 km (about 212 miles), which was 93% of its British homologation range of 369 km (about 229 miles). Other vehicles, such as the Dacia Spring, performed below their official range figures. The Dacia Spring traveled approximately 198 km (123 miles), which is significantly less than its stated 225 km (about 140 miles) under the WLTP cycle. The BYD Dolphin Surf and Dacia Spring were noted for their energy efficiency, achieving 4.8 miles per kilowatt-hour (kWh), which is about 12.9 kWh per 100 km. The Microlino was the most efficient, achieving 7.7 miles per kWh (8.1 kWh per 100 km). In contrast, the Citroën ë-C3 had a lower efficiency of 3.3 miles per kWh (about 18.8 kWh per 100 km). In terms of cost, the Fiat Grande Panda tested started at £21,995 (about €25,600), while the Hyundai Inster, which had the best range, started at £27,395 (about €31,900). This means the Hyundai Inster costs nearly €6,300 more in the UK for just 16 additional kilometers of range on the motorway. The cheapest vehicle tested was the Leapmotor T03, priced at £15,995 (about €18,600).
