Testing Shows some Electric Vehicles Fall Short in Driving Range

AUSTRALIA, AUG 6 – The Atto 3 SUV fell 111km short of its advertised range, with 77% of tested vehicles failing to meet their energy consumption claims, the Australian Automobile Association said.

  • On Thursday, the Australian Automobile Association published findings from its $14 million initiative evaluating the real-world performance of five electric car models.
  • The tests aimed to address concerns that some popular EVs are promoted with misleading battery range figures and to provide data as EV technology gains popularity.
  • Testing showed that the BYD Atto 3 SUV fell 111km short of its promised range and used 21% more power, while Tesla Model 3 and others also failed to meet lab values by 6% to 14%.
  • Michael Bradley explained that as the number of electric vehicles increases in the market, their evaluations will assist buyers in identifying which models deliver reliable battery performance.
  • These findings highlight the need for manufacturers to be more conservative with range claims to help buyers make informed decisions and reduce range anxiety among consumers.
