Electromobility is on the rise, but is often criticized.
The main reason: the range.
But current figures speak a different language.
Electric cars don't go far enough.
At least that's the statement you hear again and again when it comes to the topic of range.
And this is still crucial for many buyers.
Even if electric vehicles usually lose out compared to combustion engines, there is positive news: the range continues to increase, as the
ADAC
EcoTest shows.
In 2023, the electric cars tested by the automobile club traveled an average of 393 kilometers.
This means the range was seven kilometers higher than in 2022. In 2021, the range was still 333 kilometers.
This corresponds to an increase of 60 kilometers.

The range of electric cars is increasing: Hyundai Ioniq 6 goes the furthest
How much the range has improved can be seen when you look at the early days of electromobility.
In 2011 there was only one candidate, the Peugot iON, and it achieved a meager 95 kilometers.
Two years later, the electric vehicles only managed an average of 165 kilometers.
The Tesla Model S was the front runner with an impressive 415 kilometers.

The 500 kilometer mark has now been exceeded.
In 2023, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 managed 555 kilometers in the ADAC EcoTest, making it the front runner among the cars tested.
Seven other electric vehicles also clearly exceeded the mark.
However, no test candidate came close to the record range of 610 kilometers of the BMW iX xDrive 50 from 2022.

The range of electric cars is increasing – also because consumption is falling
One reason for the development is the ever larger batteries.
But consumption also plays an important role.
This fell from an average of 21.1 kWh/100 kilometers to 19.7 kWh/100 kilometers.
In 2021, electric cars still consumed 21.6 kWh per 100 kilometers.

Here too, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 was at the top.
On average, the Korean only consumed 15.5 kWh/100 kilometers.
The Audi Q8 e-tron Sportsback 55 consumed the most electricity in the ADAC EcoTest, with 24 kWh/100 kilometers.
For comparison, the VW e-Up holds the record with 13.7 kWh per 100 kilometers.
