1·
10 months agoI actually like their test methodology, but Edmunds testing like 2-3 variants of every Hyundai, Kia, and Porsche model really pushes all the other cars down a lot further, but I would say:
- Top 6 (600+ mph) - next level… just Ioniq 5/6, EV6, Taycan
- 7-19 (~500+ mph) - excellent… still road trip beasts
- 20-28 (~400+ mph) - decent
- 29-40 (~300+ mph) - minimum acceptable for road trips
- 41-43 (under 300 mph) - awful… never road trip these
You had a bunch of things going against you:
If you were in a longer range EV with faster charging and didn’t charge so high, charging probably would have only added an hour to your 6 hour trip in cold weather, and maybe 30-40 minutes in warmer weather, which can be offset by eating and using the restroom during those charging breaks.
