If we have an electric car in the office (which often happens nowadays), we subject it to a range test. How far does it get at a constant speed of 100 km/h and 130 km/h? We want to know. The results are sometimes shocking, but always interesting. Which car we tested made the furthest?
To start, we need to add some much-needed nuance. Just like with a fuel car, the consumption of an electric car depends on a large number of factors: your driving behaviour, the condition of the road, whether you have the air conditioning on or not, the outside temperature. In the case of our range tests, the latter was especially influential. Some cars were tested in the summer, others when the mercury was approaching freezing.
