Why we test EVs the way we do:
, something that's been infused into everything we do since 1956. This foundation of objective data combined with our subjective observations brings serious depth to our reviews. It allows us to move from statements like "this car feels quicker to 60 mph" to definitive conclusions about speed, cornering grip, interior noise, cargo volume, and a host of other important vehicle attributes.
Whether a car is powered solely by electrons or not doesn't affect many of our tests, which include things like stuffing carry-on-suitcase-size boxes into the back of cargo areas, measuring how much a vehicle's pillars block outward visibility, or seating height. And the fact that we weigh every car we test allows us to track precisely how much heavier EVs are than comparable gasoline-powered vehicles.
We always top off the gas tank before weighing a vehicle. But that's not necessary with EVs, since a fully charged battery pack doesn't weigh any more. For our performance testing—acceleration, braking, skidpad, top speed—we do modify the order in which we run the tests for EVs. Because the maximum power output of a battery pack decreases as the state of charge dwindles, we always do our standing-start-acceleration runs first with the battery as close to 100 percent as possible.
