20 electric cars measured in Germany: 3rd and 10th made in China, 9th in Tesla, 1st in BMW, no weakness

The winner of the 2021 test is the electric BMW iX3 (the picture shows the model after the facelift in autumn 2021)

With more than 21 million drivers as members, the Allgemeine Deutsche Automobil-Club (ADAC) is the largest in Europe The Traffic Club) tested 39 gasoline vehicles, 26 diesel vehicles, 24 hybrid vehicles, 2 natural gas vehicles, 1 hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and 20 pure electric vehicles in 2021. Of the 112 passenger cars tested, the best performer in the test was the BMW iX3, an electric SUV. The

BMW iX3 performed best in the test, with few weaknesses. The

BMW iX3 scored a combined score of 1.7—the best score ever achieved by nearly a thousand cars tested by ADAC in the past five years. But why an SUV, and a pure electric drive SUV?

Simple, pure electric iX3 based on the "regular" X3 with internal combustion engine , it has all the advantages of its sister models: ample space, pleasant ride comfort, good driving characteristics and a high level of safety almost all infused with its lineage. In addition, its energy consumption is very low: the iX3 achieves an average energy consumption of 21.2 kWh per 100 kilometers (calculating charging losses). That's really economical for an SUV this size! —so economical that it might surprise many who criticize the SUV for being too energy-intensive.

In the actual measurement, the iX3 has a battery life of up to 400 kilometers, which makes it almost unlimited in daily use. The battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes - so fast, mainly due to the charging power of up to 150 kW. When it comes to charging, electric vehicles have seen huge improvements in recent years. The only downside: the iX3 pulls just 750kg, which isn't quite as powerful as an internal combustion engine.

Top Ten Electric Vehicles

The smaller the German score, the better: 0.6~1.5=Excellent, 1.6~2.5=Good, 2.6~3.5=Medium, 3.6~4.5=Fair, 4.6~5.5=Poor

Top Ten Electric Vehicles by German Motors It is no surprise that the duo BMW and Mercedes-Benz lead the list. However, Geely Group from China entered the top ten with two cars, the Polestar (No. 3) and the Volvo (No. 10). The warning of "fearless young people". Also performing well is another German auto giant, Volkswagen. Its three brands, , Skoda , Volkswagen and , Audi , took the 4th to 6th place, almost taking the first half of the list together with BMW and Mercedes-Benz. . The most surprising thing is that the most famous electric car brand Tesla has only one model on the list, and its longest battery life Model Y has the same level as Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Kona and Volvo XC40 The comprehensive test score is 2.1, which is the bottom of the top ten electric vehicles.

is no coincidence,

electric vehicles ranked 11-20

Among the other 10 electric vehicles, except for the Twingo of Renault , which dropped by 2 quality levels (from "good" to "acceptable") with a test score of 4.1 points, The remaining 9 models are in the same quality level as "good" with the top ten electric vehicles.

is also the worst electric car

electric Renault Twingo is not very practical

electric Renault Twingo scored 4.1 points, not only the worst of the 20 electric cars, but also among the 112 passenger cars tested in 2021 Bottom. Not only does it have a low range, it only measures 150 kilometers, so it's not suitable for use as an all-round vehicle. And limited rear space and a small boot make the stylishly designed four-seater primarily a second-car backup, such as for short intercity trips or city traffic. On the highway, its cruising range is shorter, and it cannot be CCS fast charging. Also, its security configuration is no longer up to date.

belongs to the same family as TwingoThere is only one other car in the "fair" quality category, the off-road Suzuki Jimny (JImny). This gasoline car has only two seats, but the ride comfort is poor, the fuel consumption is high, and the braking distance is as long as 44 meters (at a speed of 100 km/h), it is no longer the latest, so the final comprehensive test with 3.7 points Ranked 2nd last.
