Excellent to the point review. As an EV, it's main weak spots are efficiency and front wheel drive. My Model 3 LR has over 30% better efficiency, and that's with much more power and performance than the EV3. Aerodynamics might be the EV3's issue, but interesting to see results in summer. Nevertheless, I'd consider one.
Heard a few other UK and EU reviews complaining about the range too - wondering if this is mostly to do with winter range ? My Soul is showing low to mid-20s kWh/100km in last month or so … but the Accumulated figure, over the last 5000km is still showing 16.2kWh/100km. That includes a mix of trips to Scotland, Northern Ireland and West Cork, from Bray. Be interested to see how the EV3 does into the new year.
It be great to test it again in summer to see how it does! I thought the motorway consumption was quite high, even in the milder weather over Christmas
The car manufacturers need to be called out about the ridiculous range that they talk about. We need to know a true from and to range, from driving on a motorway at 120kph with 5 people and bags in the middle of January when the car is 3 years old, to one person driving the most economical driving in summer. Then we would be informed customers.
That's nice, but none of the many EV3 reviewers use gloves to operate the buttons and handles, and I still can't find out what kind of battery it has. I guess I'll have to wait for Sandy Munro to tear one down. And maybe they will build them in the USA someday so we'll have a choice.

I did 390km with my old E-niro... In God conditions

Not a proper gt . Gt line has heated and cooled seats plus electric memory seats
No mention of the EV5. Strange omission.
It’s an Ev3 review Nit Wit.
