In a daring test of electric car endurance, carwow sets out to push the limits of the latest models on the motorway. From the sleek Porsche Taycan to the innovative Tesla Model 3, each vehicle is put through its paces to see which one will reign supreme. Battling through severe weather warnings and uncertain charging infrastructure, the team embarks on a journey from Cherwell Valley Services, aiming to conquer the roads all the way to Scotland.
As the BYD Qin showcases its comfort and impressive Android Auto system, the BMW i5 steps up with a luxurious feel but falters in phone connectivity. Meanwhile, the Mercedes EQE 300 surprises with its infotainment system and ride comfort, despite its hefty weight. The Porsche Taycan, although offering a plush ride and spacious rear seats, faces criticism for its design choices. Practicality becomes a key factor, with the BYD Qin falling short on legroom and boot space compared to the BMW i5 and Porsche Taycan.
Challenges arise at a service station with unavailable charging points, shedding light on the critical need for improved infrastructure. As the team continues to test each car's range and efficiency, the Tesla Model 3 emerges as the most efficient contender. Surprisingly, the German cars lag behind, with the Porsche Taycan proving to be the least efficient. The Mercedes EQE 300 grapples with visibility issues and weight concerns, while the BMW i5 shines in delivering a sophisticated driving experience. Despite its unique design, the BYD Qin faces some setbacks, highlighting the importance of striking a balance between innovation and practicality in the world of electric vehicles.
