Most manufacturers <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wltpfacts.eu\/what-is-wltp-how-will-it-work\/\">quote a WLTP range<\/a>, which is calculated from a lab test and is intended to give an idea of how far the car can go on a single charge.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, these WLTP figures can be quite far off the mark. If you\u2019re serious about EV motoring, it pays to research what real-world range figures drivers report. Thankfully, those EV loving Norwegians have put a bunch of EVs through their paces on the open-roads, giving us an idea of how they hold up against their manufacturer quoted WLTP ranges.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, Norway\u2018s automobile association (NAF) released the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nye.naf.no\/elbil\/bruke-elbil\/test-rekkevidde-sommer-2021\">results of its latest summer range test<\/a>. It tested 19 new vehicles including the Ford Mustang Mach-e, the Honda e, the BMW iX3, and the Audi e-tron GT.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tesla_still_the_top_dog\"><\/span>Tesla still the top dog<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lucky for you, I\u2019ve done the heavy lifting and put the results in a BEAUTIFUL chart (that you can play with), so you can easily see how the EVs rank against each other.

However, Ford\u2019s Mustang Mach-e Long Range is taking the fight to the American car maker, and is doing a great job of it.<\/p>\n<p>The Mach-e pulled up just 37 km short of the 2021 long range Tesla Model 3. Both these cars (along with the Model 3 from 2020) drove more than 600 km (370 miles) on a single full charge, making them part of an exclusive group of long distance electric drives.<\/p>\n<p>A standout vehicle was the BMW iX3. It\u2019s not BMW\u2019s first EV, but it\u2019s the first one that might actually entertain the masses, what with being an SUV and all. If its function and looks weren\u2019t enough to convince drivers, perhaps its range will.<\/p>\n<p>It has a WLTP quoted range of just 450 km, but in NAF\u2019s test it drove 556 km before running out of charge. That\u2019s a whopping 20% more range than quoted on the sales sheet. Perhaps BMW needs to put it through the WLTP test again.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1356174 js-lazy\" alt=\"Audi e-Tron GT is a great EV in looks and range\" width=\"1640\" height=\"1094\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5.jpeg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-280x187.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-405x270.jpeg 405w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-202x135.jpeg 202w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-796x531.jpeg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-1592x1062.jpeg 1592w\"\/><figcaption>Credit: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nye.naf.no\/elbil\/bruke-elbil\/test-rekkevidde-sommer-2021\">NAF<\/a><\/figcaption><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fshift%2F2021%2F06%2F08%2Ftesla-dominates-norways-ev-range-tests-ford-mach-e-close%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: The Audi e-Trong GT isn\u2019t just a gorgeous looking EV, it\u2019s also got great range and outdoes its WLTP figure.\" data-title=\"Share The Audi e-Trong GT isn\u2019t just a gorgeous looking EV, it\u2019s also got great range and outdoes its WLTP figure. on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share The Audi e-Trong GT isn\u2019t just a gorgeous looking EV, it\u2019s also got great range and outdoes its WLTP figure. on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>The Audi e-Trong GT isn\u2019t just a gorgeous looking EV, it\u2019s also got great range and outdoes its WLTP figure.<\/figcaption><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1356174\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5.jpeg\" alt=\"Audi e-Tron GT is a great EV in looks and range\" width=\"1640\" height=\"1094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5.jpeg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-280x187.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-405x270.jpeg 405w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-202x135.jpeg 202w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-796x531.jpeg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/Sommertest_31_wtbxn5-1592x1062.jpeg 1592w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>The Audi e-Tron GT also surpassed its WLTP figure by nearly 15%, driving 528 km \u2014 that\u2019s 60 km more than lab tests suggest.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_EV_test\"><\/span>The EV test<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NAF admits this isn\u2019t the most scientific test, but rather stands as an indication of how cars fare against WLTP quoted range figures.

It charges all cars to 100% the night before driving them. No cars are preheated, they start from cold, and all run in eco mode and use active braking regeneration.
