Real-world range of electric cars (EVs): TEST 2025

Electric vehicle test by the NAF auto club

The Norwegian auto club NAF, in cooperation with the magazine Motor.no, measured the real-world range of electric vehicles until their batteries were completely depleted. This provides a fairly accurate overview of the capabilities of individual models.

🥇 Lucid Air goes the farthest, but the winner is Tesla

While the American EV Lucid Air GT covered the most kilometers on a single charge — specifically 832 km — it was significantly less than the manufacturer’s claimed range. On the other hand, the Tesla Model Y exceeded its promised range by the largest margin, covering 653 km, which is 67 km more than the official figure.
