Despite the longer range on paper, the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 was unable to match the Tesla Model 3 Long Range in a recent cold-weather range test in Norway.
Recently, winter tests conducted by the Norwegian Automobile Federation (NAF) and automotive publication Motor will test a total of 31 electric vehicles (EVs) to get data on which one can travel the farthest, in addition to testing which electric vehicles deviate the most from the specified range when driving at low temperatures.
In the temperature range of 0°C to -10°C (14°F to 32°F), the Model 3 Long Range tops the list with the longest distance of 521 km (324 miles).
The Model 3 also leads the way in terms of deviation, dropping just 15.5 percent from the WLTP rated range of 614 km, and the EQS 580 has a WLTP rating of 645 km (400 mi), but can only travel 513 km (318 mi), more than 20 percent less than optimal conditions.
Also in the car group tested was the Model Y Long Range, which finished fourth with a time of 451 km, which was also impressive, as it was only 11.05 percent less than expected and ranked second on the list.
In addition, Motor also pointed out that the results of the Model Y are particularly impressive, because the temperature of the last 16 kilometers (10 miles) of its travel is lower, and the slope is greater than that of BYD Tang, so the latter surpasses the Model Y with an 11% deviation, of course, this result is still very pleasing to us, because if you count the range reduction alone, BYD Tang is undoubtedly the least in the list.
