As a former European Automotive correspondent for Reuters, I’ve a spent a few years writing about the industry. I will penetrate the corporate hype and bluster and find out how these gigantic enterprises are really doing. I also love to drive their magnificent machines, and their more modest ones. I’ll be telling you if the technology works, too.
Electric vehicles are mainly overpriced city cars, fine for local use but hopeless if you plan a long trip on fast motorways.
Europe’s auto industry needs to acknowledge the unique qualities of electric cars, understand how the world of motoring will change, and produce EVs that fit the mold. If Europeans don’t do it, the Chinese are poised to do just that. Manufacturers’ battery capacity range claims based on official EU Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure data are often grotesque exaggerations. For instance, my recent review ofshows a WLTP claim of 384 miles of range for the battery. In real-world reality, the battery capacity was only a theoretical average of 270 miles.
Tesla says the range of the Model X is up to 350 miles, but at these high speeds, recharging was necessary about once every 160 to 170 miles.
