In recent years, the sales of new energy vehicles have become increasingly high, and there are more and more new energy models on the market, so how to choose and buy has also become a problem. For ordinary fuel vehicles, 100 kilometers of fuel consumption is an important indicator of car purchase, and for electric vehicles, the efficiency of batteries and generators will also affect the choice of car buyers. Although more people's attention is on battery life at present, long battery life does not mean high efficiency. Recently, the British electric vehicle media Electrofiifying ranked some mainstream electric vehicles on the UK market according to overall efficiency, charging speed and other dimensions, and the result was that Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4 two electric vehicles received the highest A++ rating.
The Tesla Model 3 receives the highest A++ rating
Efficiency is one of the most important criteria for this score, which can often be understood as the energy consumed by the vehicle in order to travel a given distance, and the media also divides different "efficiency levels" according to different energy consumption situations. In addition, a number of other relevant factors were taken into account in the selection.
Tesla Model 3
According to the media, the alphabetical rating of the evaluation system is derived from the use of a certain algorithm, which takes into account many factors, including the degree to which the car converts electricity into actual kilometers on the road, the battery charging speed, and the functions of energy-saving heat pumps, kinetic energy recovery systems and environmental temperature pre-regulation. In addition to the data, the agency has added a scoring mechanism where teams of experts have experience in actually driving, testing and reviewing electric vehicles.
BMW i4
After passing a series of objective and subjective tests, the agency rated the Tesla Model 3 and the recently launched BMW i4 as the most efficient of the current electric cars on sale in the UK, both of which received A++ ratings. Thirteen models, including mercedes-Benz EQS, Citroën Ami and e-C4, received A+ ratings, while 12 other models received A-class ratings, and the only model with the lowest E-class rating was Mercedes-Benz's EQV commercial vehicle.
"Since electricity costs less than gasoline or diesel, it's easy to overlook the efficiency of electric vehicles and think it doesn't matter. But the cost of less efficient models will soon increase," said Ginny Buckley, founder of Electrifying. "Perhaps more importantly, a more energy-efficient electric car will lead to higher endurance and spend less time charging, which means that consumers will be much more convenient to travel."
