Electric vehicles are not travelling as far as promised by their makers, says new Australian testing. The Australian Automobile Association (AAA) revealed fresh results from its Real-World Testing Program. All electric cars tested missed their advertised range. The Tesla Model Y SUV performed best, falling only 16km short of its claimed 466km range. On the other hand, the MG4 electric hatchback had the worst result, missing its 405km target by 124km - a 31% shortfall. Kia EV3 and Smart #1 also fell short by 67km (11%) and 53km (13%) respectively. The AAA tested these vehicles on a 93km route around Geelong, Victoria, covering urban, rural, and highway roads. Association managing director Michael Bradley said, "These results give consumers an independent indication of real-world battery range, which means they now know which cars perform as advertised and which do not." He added, "Giving consumers improved information about real-world driving range means buyers can worry less about running out of charge and make the switch to EVs with confidence." This latest round follows earlier tests where all five EV models also failed to meet their claimed range. Testing of 131 petrol and hybrid vehicles showed 76% consumed more fuel than claimed. Funded by the Australian government and launched in 2023, the AAA program has tested 140 vehicles so far out of a planned 200. The program began after a 2015 Volkswagen scandal revealed emissions cheating. These findings aim to help Indian and global consumers set realistic expectations when buying electric vehicles and prepare better for everyday driving.
