Range tests completed on our Feb 2023 Skoda Enyaq iV 80 Sportline in the first week of June. Mode - 56mph (90kph), three adults and a heavy load with the rear 60% seats down and the load through the bay- aircon off, windows cracked open. 369 miles - topped off and then did the last 11 miles. same mode, but solo in the car no load - 430 miles (almost 700km). (book is 330/530)). Outside temps between 19 and 24C so no heating. I turned off regen except when coasting downhill so I get the least resistance off throttle. I was not using Eco mode on the car.
Usually the RWD Model has 19" wheels unless this was the Gt-Line RWD which is a good comparison. Of course, in the US, in most states on the Interstate, the top speed is 70 (although some drive much faster) and with traffic congestion around cities your average speed works out to around 65 and as such you get amazing range in warm weather under near perfect conditions. Winter range is another story. My 2022 Gt-Line AWD in warm weather at 65 sees 3.8 to 4.2 miles per kWh. The EPA estimate claims 3.2 miles per kWh. So I'm very happy with the higher numbers at reasonable highway speeds.
Wow that motorcyclist ripped by you like you were standing still at the beginning of the video. He must have been pushing 200kph. He wasn't going to get good fuel economy.... I'm sorry did I miss the battery size? The results kind of make sense relatively regardless. Thanks Chris
In ECO mode the AWD is essentially RWD as the front motor is disingaged, so cars virtually the same. The lower spec GT line or air RWD with 19' would be more efficient
@@BatteryLife I mean other than the weight of the front motor the rwd and AWD are the same car in ECO, while the RWD with 19' wheels would have been more significant difference
Driving faster than 65 mph is a total waste of energy increases power needed decreases range. Trip planning must include discipline as to speed/energy management. 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 RW SE at 65 mph in cruise control averages 3.6 miles per kw. I’ve seen videos of Ioniq owners getting just above or below 2.0 miles per. Why post about range to expect at high speed without posting 83 mph cruising speed? Many a Tesla owner complain of low range while driving at 85 mph +!!! Very dangerous.
@@BatteryLife Nice, thanks for the reply. I was curious as you have driven quite a lot at this point. Are you still planning on getting a new EV? If so, which?
I was expecting way bigger difference. Wasn’t it because EV6 RWD turns off front wheel when in eco mode? If so that makes sense it was only 10% worse because of the extra motor weight.
Congrats. Another great test! Abraço from Portugal

In warm weather I'm getting 260 miles (418km) at 70mph (113kph )from the AWD with 20inch wheels. In colder weather it's about 230 (338km).
Those wheels really sap the range

You might like to produce some stats on battery types and degradation

Thanks, 74 kWh net
Just did a trip manchester to Scarborough return on my EV6 gtline S RWD. Got 275 miles and still had 29 miles on the guessometer. Just normal driving.
speed is everything
Lol what are you on about? Good luck doing any speed above 65 on the A64. Slightly too many trucks 😂
Would you choose Ioniq 6 over EV6 for better range figures? 🤔
The 20" wheels probably don't help here.
Ioniq 6 is way better.
In ECO mode the AWD is essentially RWD as the front motor is disingaged, so cars virtually the same. The lower spec GT line or air RWD with 19' would be more efficient
I was driving the AWD with eco mode only using the rear Motor

Rather than Wh/mile most manufacturers use Miles per kWh in the UK as this is an easier calculation to work with.
Easy to work out. 1000÷Wh/mile = miles per kWh
81 mph is the killer here…slow down to 65-70 and it will do much better, IMO
20 inches wheels kill range, losing about 25 km minimum, not easy for, but Kia should just provide 19' cars too.
They always deliver the cars with the fancy big wheels, all car makers do that.
It is more about looks
@@BatteryLife BMW cheated and provided Teslabjørn with 18" wheels and a very lean extras pack with the i4 40 😅
What is the best Hatchback EV you've driven in the price range of the ID.3?
The Id.3 ;)
:) Renault Megane E-Tech is great.
Mg4 I only drove for an hour, it was ok.
@@BatteryLife Nice, thanks for the reply. I was curious as you have driven quite a lot at this point. Are you still planning on getting a new EV? If so, which?
I think it îs apply to every car maker.. At least 10%

RWD means its only powering the rear wheels. The from wheels are already turned off in RWD lol unless i read that wrong
Come on, tidy your cabin, its your job now right? Hide the big red bag out of shot..
That is camera bag. I need that while driving.
