None of the electric cars reached as far as their official WLTP range states in "El Prix", the world''s largest electric car test.
American Tesla Model 3 came furthest: 521 km. But Chinese BYT Tang lost the least range, just 11 percent compared to the car's official WLTP range.
The Norwegian Automobile Federation took 31 electric cars to the roads to find out how they perform in winter conditions. The cars competed primarily against themselves and the range their manufacturer states in their marketing.
The temperatures during the test varied from zero to minus ten degrees celsius, quite moderate winter temperatures in Norway.
In 2021, sales of new electric cars passed 80 percent of the consumer market in Norway. Range is important to many buyers. Consumer information is key, and our mission is to provide the best, most comprehensive test of EVs to give our members the insight they need before choosing an electric car. This is what we cover:
From previous tests, we know that EVs drop between 4 and 30 percent of their range in even mild winter conditions. The charging speed is also affected by colder temperatures. By testing the cars in realistic driving conditions, we gain more insight than the standardized WLTP range tests – important knowledge for anyone considering an EV.

NAF is working to establish an industry standard for how manufacturers and dealers state the range and charging speed of electric cars. A separate range for winter conditions should be included in such a standard.
Cars sold in Norway may differ from other European markets. Some cars are sold with winter edition equipment, such as heat pump, battery insulation and enabled preheating. Although preheating was not used in this test, other differences in equipment might affect the winter range.

The Tesla Model S won a cold-weather range test in Norway by a landslide, setting a new record in the process.
The electric sedan beat 28 other EVs in the test organized by Norwegian automotive media outlet Motor.no, covering 530 kilometers (329 miles) on a single charge in temperatures varying between -10° and -5° Celsius (14-23° Fahrenheit).
The Tesla lost only 16.4 percent of its claimed WLTP range rating of 634 kilometers (394 miles) and was the only vehicle in the test that managed to pass the 450-kilometer (280-mile) and 500-kilometer (310-mile) marks. The previous record was 521 kilometers (321 miles), and it was set in 2021 by a Tesla Model 3 Long Range.
Interestingly, the Tesla Model S could have gone even further but the vehicle tested could only charge to 98 percent before the start of the test due to a technical reason – all the other cars were charged to 100 percent.
Most of the vehicles tested this year saw their real-world range in cold conditions drop by 20-30 percent compared to their WLTP range ratings. For example, the Mercedes-Benz EQE''s range dropped 33.39 percent to 409 kilometers (254 miles), compared to the WLTP rating of 614 kilometers (381 miles).
Tesla Model S aside, the vehicles that saw the smallest range losses included the Maxus Euniq 6 (-10.45 percent), MG Marvel R (-16.76 percent), MG 5 (-17.63 percent), Kia EV6 GT (-17.69 percent) and Tesla Model X Plaid (-18.23 percent).
All the other vehicles had range losses of 20 percent or more, with the Toyota bZ4X seeing the biggest drop over the advertised range – 35.79 percent. It''s worth noting that some of the vehicles reached the highest elevation on the test route, where temperatures dropped to -19° Celsius (-2.2° Fahrenheit).
Motor.no tested an eclectic mix of vehicles, including several Chinese models that are on sale in Norway, like the Nio ET7, BYD Han, Hongqi E-HS9, Voyah Free, JAC e-JS4, BYD Atto 3, and more. Check the full results in the table below courtesy of Motor.no.

Few activities give the same sense of freedom as a road trip. But are electric cars suitable for long road trips? Can you realistically drive around the south of Norway for several days without using fossil fuels a single time?
We tested this for you and found out that the answer is yes, absolutely! Read on to get our best tips on how to prepare, what to look out for and pitfalls to avoid. We''ll even tell you how you can go on your very own electric car vacation on your next trip to Norway.
Norway is leading the world in adopting electric cars. In 2021, 22.1% of all cars in use in the country were electric–and that proportion is increasing fast.
The market share of electric car sales in Norway was 65% in 2021, and hit as high as 86.2% in the final month of the year. For context, this is how those figures compare to some other countries:
What makes electric cars so popular in Norway is the Norwegian fee system on car sales. New car sales are hit by heavy taxes and fees compared to many other countries. This has been the case for many decades.
When electric cars came on the market, the government decided to reduce or completely waive some of these fees, to encourage electric car adoption.
This means that at the time of writing, a new, fully electric Nissan Leaf starts at NOK 219,900, while a similar-sized fossil fuelled Ford Focus starts at NOK 395,100.
