@Alex The Minibuses Vans Lover. x ?
The Renault ended up just around the corner from where my nan lives! Good to know that if I wanted to go visit her from London the Renault would get me there in one go.
Pretty risky, though. You might want to make a 30 min charge somewhere along the way (with 50kW DC fast charge option 30min gives you an extra 100 miles, or 48 miles with standard 22kW)
@@corentinoger Not true. When unsure if you make it, you will be better off just going 5 mph slower. The Zoe does not achieve the advertised 50kW DC charging speed. It will do an average of about 35 kW between 10 and 90%. So a lot quicker than AC22, but not twice as fast.
I'd love to see this test re-run during one of our January (or February) days when the heater, lights, windscreen wipers are all going complimented only by the coldness of the temperatures outside. How would they fair and which one would come out supreme then I wonder?
they will not test these cars for winter conditions...........there is a reason for that!!
Separate batteries for those apart from heater I guess
@@billw8476 They do test electrics for winter conditions. I’ve seen several such tests on KZhead.
@Jo Bell - "AAA" recently conducted a test and found, when an EV's heater system is in use, average EV range drops by 41% under combined mixed city/highway driving conditions. So (ie/eg) an EV that's rated to run 100 miles between charges, will now only run 59 miles between charges. Seeing how EV manufacturers/EV dealerships aren't likely going to discuss cold-weather range performance with those that purchase EVs, I can see a lot of unsuspecting EV owners becoming extremely upset if they happen to live in an area (or need to drive to an area) that experiences cold temperatures 1-6+ months out of the year.
Good point, well made. Another point I have heard someone make is what if you are on a journey in cold weather and you get stranded somewhere with a flat battery. You will not be able to "run the engine" to keep the heat going. I get that typically someone with an electric vehicle should be planning their journeys so well that that should never happen but you know what people are like. Many folk have gotten lost in snow storms before.

Today is about electric!!!!
Had a Honda since january 2022. In the colder months (Jan - Mar) range was easily sub-100 and nearer 80 but as a city car (and that's what it's marketed as) that's not an issue. With warmer weather and holidays, we've done several 100-110 trips on A-roads with some dual carriageway/motorway driving and hilly/scenic B-roads and got as low as 9% battery on those trips before hitting a charger - a bit nervy but more confident now we've done it a few times. We stopped in very rural Perthshire and had a chat with someone who worked for a Honda dealer and he was impressed how far we'd come. Planning is key - have a spread of charging points planned and avoid hills. Do we like it? Hell, yes.
I’ve got an electric van, I have found that the air temperature has a large effect on the distance. The colder it gets the less distance.
That's a known fact and they should test these in winter

no way are they going to live in the real world ....they wont even tell you how long it took to fully charge them up to get back home or how far you are likely to get if you use the car for a year now that I would really like to know.
Heated windscreen would be a killer I bet
@@electroid8119 the AC is the general battery killer. Seat heating and all else barely has an impact. In my experience tho, you get about 20% less range during winter with EVs
Zoe: At -12C, Heating set to 24C (lights, heated seats and steering wheel are powered from the 12v battery, not the 400v traction battery) the real world range is 290km at 120km/h.

I am a bit confused. 31c which is what the car Matt was driving said....that's not even 90degrees F. That's not hot at all and those cars didn't get great mileage. What about driving in an actual hot day? Like 105-108f or 42c...that's warm and a good test.
@@coreyverisario6570 In the UK anything above 70° F is a hot day.
Wow sensitive people over the pond. Yea 90 degrees for us a very nice summer day. Truthfully hitting 110 sucks. That's when it's dangerous to be outside and we wish to be somewhere else.
@@coreyverisario6570 30 degrees is way way too hot
@Ddhfacetyy agreed but cracking the window is a big help in that situation. I am not saying it's cold. Lol. It's just not as hot as they were making it sound. But since the UK apparently doesn't get that hot, then I can see why they think it's really warm. I would be happy to have the lower temps all the time. Or be more steady around 80-85.
This always been the best test drive. Pls keep oN continue doing this kind of test eheheh
Thanks for doing this. Must have been so boring to test but it's what everyone wants to know. Personally, I want a larger electric car. Whilst researching what's available I was shocked to read the range smallprint on some of them. For example, 200 mile range, but at 70mph is reduced by half!! 200 mile range is great, but the only time you'll ever want to use that is a motorway drive. 100 mile range is just not good enough for motorway driving.
I'd be interested to see this tried again in winter with heater and demister on etc. See what the difference is.
AN OVERNIGHT TEST, in the rain, with all the Lights, windscreen wipers on too!
Interesting question, but also tell me what temperature. (Or go to the video's of Tesla Bjorn ...he's done a lot of tests in different wether, speed and so on). I can only give an estimate on a Hyunda KonaE 64....At zero to three degrees celsius I'll reach 390-400km range. At 20-22 degrees celsius I'll reach 450-460 km range (which is more than the 449 km wltp claimed range). This numbers are measurde with mostly motorway at a speed of 100km/h (which is the speed limit in the Netherlands at the moment) and a little in town. Maximum range , when you're really trying to get as far as possible, 85km/h is more than 500km in conditions when you do not need heater or airco. I'm driving at least every week a roundtrip of about 360 km. Never needed to go to a (fast)charger on this distance. Starting this after buying this car nearly 2 years ago.
@@reiniernn9071 see that's the thing, I suppose you'd have to do it at multiple temperatures and see which vehicle is affected the most by it, and how much so.
@@keicarguy7908 You're right...thats why I mentioned the channel of Tesla Bjorn...A norwegian who is making a living from testing FEV's.

For me, range anxiety is not an issue. What would be a concern would be turning up at a charging point & finding it not working. I stopped at a motorway service area in southern England recently & noticed that out of 12 charging points provided, five were not working & when I returned two days later the same five were still out of order. This is an issue that the industry is going to have to tackle if EVs are going to become mainstream.

There's someone who owns a Honda E around where I live and I see it quite regularly on the road. It's probably the coolest looking EV on the market IMO - in its price-category. But seeing the range results and the asking prices, you'd have to be pretty daft to not get the Zoe. Which, to my eye, is the second best looking of this bunch. What I'd *really* want though is a new, extended range version of Citroen's e-Mehari. Ignoring the question of propulsion, that thing is/was just a cool little car. Had they only sold it with a petrol engine, I still would've wanted one.
As someone mentioned it would be nice to see this re done in winter. Also add in the fiat 500e this time

So if you run out of battery on the motorway due to being sat for hrs because of an accident how does the rac get to you to charge you back up especially if a lot of other vehicles are in the same position,then there’s the charging costs which are going to vary across the country same as fuels do now,but in a petrol/diesel car most can do round trip without refuelling so choosing where to refuel & how much you pay where as the choice will be take away if going to an hotel

The fact that you find 32°C hot is hilarious love the channel
Why don’t any of these cars have solar panel charging roofs? It may just get you out of trouble with enough charge to get to a charging point.
With solar cells on the roof you would get like 1-2kWhrs on whole a sunny day. (My estimate based on the 3.5kW system on our house and its size) So it wouldnt be worth it, coz usually ur car isnt in direct sunshine for 8hrs anyway.

Assuming the power consumption is around the same for either aircon or heating, only lights (night) and wipers (wet) will decrease range further. Unless ya feel like towing trailers.
Renault was the first of the established auto-makers to heavily invest in electric cars. As such they do have a technological lead... and mind you, German brands such as Mercedes collaborate heavily with Renault for their electric cars since themselves were left kind of behind in this area. If you are thinking of an electric car pass by Renault first.
Not really
Yeah I remember years ago seeing the Zoe and the twinzy I think it called. Looking back now they really did start the push for electric ahead of the rest.
@@robato3991 Twizzy, yes. It was more of a gimmick than really a car but they made it to refer to the people who have no driver license. However the Zoe 1st generation was indeed the first serious electric car by a European manufacturer. I would not buy it though as it had the old batteries and a modest 200km autonomy. The 2nd generation has a true 400km autonomy which had been tested by car testers and proven to exceed it - Renault tends to give the average autonomy summer-winter not the summer, i.e. the extended, one as other companies do. To be noted that Renault was already implicated into electric cars through its collaboration with Nissan for the Nissan Leaf, arguably the first big brand mass produced electric car of the modern times. The thing though with electric cars is that once a company sets its focus on them and invests in the manufacturing of batteries, the rest is easy. It is just an electric motor, nothing special about it.
Mitsubishi with the i Miev was alright. Drive one of those myself.
Renaults are inefficient
how the hell all the drivers have the same voice??!!!
Posh doesn’t vary by regions
Exactly what I was wondering. It seems like the carwow crews are just consisting of Matt, one other cameraman, one lady who does countdowns for drag races, and this second driver guy who can duplicate himself.
I bought a Zoe earlier this year and I must say it is really a good car!
But you are still riiding a Zoe
If you are a male and got a car named "Zoe" I admire your bravery.
😁😁😁😁 zoe for a man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ThompterSHunson can call it whatever tf you want, but I never met a man who give af about the name of a car
@@moseslutalo2469 "I rode his Zoe" sounds better than "I rode his John"
Great work this video is much appreciated

Mat: "I'd pay the extra 5,000£ for the mini" Under that logic I'd pay the extra 20,000£ for a big V8 motor.
Some people don't want petrol or diesel anymore
@@JariVitunLitmanen that’s not the point hahaha
No that’s not logical because if you are looking for a small electric city car anything with a V8 isn’t on your radar.
And by your logic, for an extra 2 million GBP I can buy a Bugatti. It's about comparing cars in the same class and will you be paying a premium for a slightly better car.
@@Jabber-ig3iw he said VW vs Mini he'd get the Mini but the the price difference is huge, the mini is 25% more expensive.
Also, by slowing down at the ends of all the driving you'll get more range, the estimated range is based on prior driving conditions at freeway speeds. I believe manufacturers should list miles per kilowatt, not max range. Gas cars list mpg not range. So a larger battery is no different than a larger gas tank.
Coincidence or not, I'm watching this great carwow video and then a carwow add pops up!😂😂
I've just bought a seat mii electric (same car as up) and I do about 2000 miles per week. I have a level 2 charger at home and do about 120 miles to a full charge. I travel quite a lot for work but with appointments 50-60 miles from home I can manage to return home from my first morning appointment and charge back up in about 4 hours during the middle of the day when I'm at home. I also benefit from a free 22kw charger at a supermarket nearby if I need extra range quickly.
Great comparison, really informative. Love the guy up north "I'm only doing this because it's outside my house and that car is French" 😂
Saw myself driving past you in this vid 😂
Timestamp? I saw something sporty go by, and wondered what that was...
@@santhushhh if it’s sporty it’s definitely not me 😂
@@gmcdon was it a van?
to day Gothenburg had huge trafficproblems due to winter the electric cars stopped it was so cold and the batteries were empty. in the traffic! A hell in the rush!
