In our real-world highway testing, we're seeing big differences in the relative performance of EVs versus gas-powered vehicles. What gives.
. And even the range from our test is ambitious, as that's using 100 percent of the battery's energy, which is all but impossible to do without stranding yourself. Also, charging speeds slow dramatically above about an 80 percent state of charge, so when you're traveling greater distances than a single charge and juicing up on the road, it's typically practical to charge only to 70 or 80 percent.
Tesla employs some of the highest adjustment factors and produces the vehicles that underperform by the widest margin, with an average shortfall of 26 percent. At highway speeds, the actual range difference between a 405-mile Tesla Model S and a 242-mile Porsche Taycan is only about 40 miles, not the 163 miles the labels would have you believe. With gas-powered cars, we don't see dramatic differences among automakers in real-world versus label fuel economy.
