How far can electric cars really go?
Summertime means travel time. It’s always been like that. The crucial question is: which means of transport should you choose? If flying is too expensive and the train is too unreliable, you might consider driving.
Admittedly, it’s not a completely new idea – unless we opt for an electric car. Which is what we did. Of course, it wasn’t a vacation for us, but rather conscientious work – so that you know which electric car can do what.
Long ranges are quite expensive
20 current battery electricians had to step in to show how far the battery charge would take on the motorway at a recommended speed of 130 km/h. The temperatures during the measurements were between 16 and 28 degrees – typical German summer.
With 390 kilometers, the Mercedes EQE 500 4Matic takes third place in our range test – and has the highest base price.

The results are as varied as the cars themselves, from 141 kilometers for the city flea Renault Jump up to 433 kilometers for the luxury SUV AudiQ8 e-tron the spectrum ranges. How these results can be classified and what else was interesting besides the pure range can be seen in the picture gallery. Nice holiday preparation.
