EV Range Test Roundup: How Far Can the Latest EVs Go?

2022 Audi e-tron

The Audi e-tron has been all over considering that 2019 and was a person of the very first EVs we assortment-tested (in Sportback form). Although it still athletics the very same dimensions battery (95 kilowatt-several hours), Audi created some components and application optimizations and elevated out there battery capacity from the 2021 model calendar year onward. As a end result, the EPA vary estimate has jumped from 204 miles to 222 miles, while the use estimate improved from 46 kilowatt-hrs for each 100 miles to 43 kWh for the exact length.
