Tesla Model X and Ford Explorer pull trailers. Which car is more fuel efficient and what are the ranges?
The All Electric Family channel tested the Tesla Model X and Ford Explorer ST for trailer towing capability.

What is the Tesla Model 3's real range in cooler temperatures and faster driving? For me, this is: [Reader]
The editors of www.elektrowoz.pl provide electric vehicle ranges in accordance with the procedure of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), because they are the closest to what electric owners get in real driving. However, the EPA lists relatively high ranges for Tesla and "too low" for the Kia e-Niro, Hyundai Kona Electric, and Porsche Taycan. The EPA result also doesn't tell us much about range in cold weather or on the highway, because the EPA tests assume driving at normal speed in good weather. In conditions other than the average ideal, additional measurements are needed from Internet users, journalists and YouTubers, on the basis of which an additional opinion can be formed. These are the values we received from our Reader, Mr. Titus. Automobile…
Fiat 500e / REVIEW - real mileage in winter and load capacity test [video x2]
Youtuber Bjorn Nayland tested the Fiat 500e. He checked the distance this pretty city car could cover on a single charge and how much trunk space it had. In a comparison of the VW e-Up, Fiat 500e and BMW i3, the Fiat has the smallest trunk, but it should offer more range than the Volkswagen. The winner of both cars was the BMW i3, located one segment higher. The Fiat 500e is a small (segment A = city cars) electric car based on the combustion engine version of the car. It is not officially available in Europe, so it can only be purchased in the US. European dealerships theoretically have software for car diagnostics, but we will only carry out more serious repairs in unauthorized workshops. > Electric…
Freeway Range: Ford Mustang Mach-E vs. VW ID.4 GTX vs. Hyundai Ioniq 5. Weakest = Hyundai
The German company Nextmove conducted road tests of energy consumption and a line of family crossovers. The experiment was to drive the freeway at "trying to keep 100/130/150 km/h" speeds. Among the three models tested, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 performed the worst, the Ford Mustang Mach-E the best, and the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX in the middle. The range of electric vehicles on the track is 150 km / h. The tests were carried out in good weather and at high temperatures, therefore, in optimal driving conditions. At other times of the year, the results may be slightly different, but the summer experiment makes a lot of sense - this is the time of year we travel the most and most of all. To "I'm trying to keep 150 km / h" cars will work: Ford ...
OPINION: Nissan Leaf 2 or Hyundai Ioniq Electric - which should you choose? [HIGH]
Fanpage EVElectricvehicles tested Hyundai Ioniq Electric with Nissan Leaf (2018). The author of the list would have chosen the Hyundai Ioniq Electric, although he liked the Leaf 2 for many reasons.

Honda e-impressions and CarPervert review The Honda e is designed for city driving. CarPervert admired the car's proportions, design and turning circle, which, according to the manufacturer, is 4,3 meters. Let's make a reservation right away that we do not fully trust the latter value: parking spaces in Spain are the smallest in Europe and their length is about 4,5 meters. If we look at the outer wheel of the car, we can see that it is about 2/3 of the parking space and about 3/4 of the length…

BMW i3 94 Ah REx - Which Range? The Environmental Protection Agency says it takes 290 kilometers to charge + refuel, but ... [VIDEO]
What is the range of the BMW i3 REx (94 Ah) without recharging? How long will the car run from the battery, and how much thanks to the additional internal combustion energy generator? We searched and this is what we found - also about the differences between the American and European versions of the car. According to the EPA, the BMW i3 REx (2017) has a range of almost 290 kilometers in diesel-electric mode, of which 156 kilometers are on battery alone. However, it is worth remembering that in the United States, the fuel tank capacity has been reduced by about 1,89 liters (from 9,1 to 7,2 liters / 1,9 gallons), which also reduces the overall range of the car by 25-30 kilometers. The limitation is purely electronic, but in the US the car will make sure we…

Volkswagen ID.3 1st Max - first impressions. It took an hour, there are benefits, but overall I'm disappointed ...
You probably remember our Reader who sold the BMW 330e because he was so disappointed with this brand that he decided to buy a Tesla Model 3 in the future. Yesterday he had the opportunity to drive a Volkswagen ID.3 and, in his opinion, the car is underdeveloped. He is very disappointed with the poor value for money. Our reader's email ended with a request to stop comparing the Volkswagen ID.3 to the Tesla Model 3 so as not to mislead you. Strong. Although ID.3 takes this position, we admit that we may have been a victim of marketing. Similar comparisons, used as if in passing, may be retained. We also regularly hear about Skoda striving for, and even surpassing, the level of Volkswagen - but in reality a car dealership ...
