In the Electrek Podcast , we discuss the most popular news in the world of sustainable transport and energy
What's Happening
In this week’s episode, we discuss updates to Tesla Robotaxi, Rivian R2 configurator going live, China taking over EU factories, and more. Today’s episode is sponsored by GM Energy . If you want to experience more resilience and control over your home energy, the GM Energy Home System adds stationary battery power for always-ready backup energy for your home, and the GM Energy PowerBank takes in energy from the grid and stores it for when you need it most.
Why This Matters for EV Owners
The Bigger Picture
This development reflects broader shifts in the European EV market as charging infrastructure expands and new models enter the market..
EV Comparison: How Do These Models Stack Up?
Among these models, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range leads in efficiency at 14.4 kWh/100km, while the Tesla Model 3 Long Range offers the longest range at 602 km WLTP.
| Model | Battery | WLTP Range | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model 3 Long Range | 75 kWh | 602 km | 14.4 kWh/100km |
| Tesla Model Y Long Range | 75 kWh | 533 km | 16.9 kWh/100km |
| Rivian R1S Large Pack | 135 kWh | 516 km | 25.6 kWh/100km |
Data sourced from EVRoutes' vehicle database covering 60+ EV models. Ranges are WLTP-rated and real-world results may vary by 10-20% based on driving conditions.
Real-World Range Considerations
EVRoutes' route calculations account for real-world conditions. In winter, expect 15-30% range reduction due to battery chemistry and cabin heating. Pro tip: Pre-conditioning the battery before DC fast charging can improve charging speeds by up to 30% in cold weather.
What to Watch Next
As the EV landscape continues to evolve, developments like this shape the transition to electric mobility across Europe..
