It's worth reiterating that miles per kWh depends on weather and driving style and city/motorway mix. So 3. 2 Mat could be 4+ in the hands of a smooth operator or 5+ in summer in town and countryside. So the miles and percentage only apply to him and this particular scenario. Basically though with the 72-82% result is that manufacturers range is roughly usable battery kWh multiplied by 4. 5-5 which is unrealistic unless optimal weather or pootling around town with minimal acceleration/braking.

Why don t they make them less powerful, but increase the range. Surely the gearing from the electric motors to the wheels could be changed. You don t need a family BMW SUV with over 500bhp. Who is ever going to use that?

I'm not from the UK, but electric cars are gaining popularity very fast where I'm living especially those brought in from China. Was wondering if carwow can include them in their future EV episode. Great content as usual!

So the Tesla has a 30% increased efficiency compared to the Mercedes which was built and designed for efficiency. Good job Mercedes. Hell, the Ford has better efficiency and it's a cross-SUV that looks like a slab.

Can we just appreciate the effort gone to make this video in particular. I mean it is 45 minutes long, for Christ's sake! This is so far the longest video on carwow you are watching right here.

Okay so I know it wasn t for long. But to keep things fair you shouldn t have done that. You have a review already on that car where you tell us about and let us hear the different sounds.

Why do you need to adjust the distance control on the go. Surely you just set it to what is safe and comfortable and leave it. Unfortunately, I don't have it to try out.

Mercedes think about getting you safe and let you drive at 1-2mph
Tesla have electric ports and won't let you charge it
