That site collects information from all model years with which you have the ability to screen for.
I agree with most of this analysis, and the principle, but that site is using almost 20 year old models in the average. It's not really fair to compare a modern EV to a 20 year old ICE.
…
For reference, my 2017 Civic gets like 35 mpg depending on conditions lol. Modern ICE cars are incredibly efficient.
Some results you get from 'real world Tesla Model 3 range' is in the low 200s range, with an EPA range of 303 that sounds about right. To put that in perspective you would be rather low on battery driving across my state of Massachusetts. Obviously I'm not doing that daily, but the idea that I need to wait 20 minutes at a charger (or potentially more if theres a line) on my way back from a trip that doesn't even leave the state doesn't really sound appealing. There are things that, despite not doing them daily, I expect my vehicle to be able to do without issue.
It includes my own records from when I uploaded data with subcompact cars which are also low 300 when I fill up.
It includes the 2017 Honda Civic which shows a peak at 35mph. So no, that dataset is not unfair.
The range dictates when your car has to visit a service station for energy. In this case, my ‘real world range’ had me last stopped at a station….4 months ago. This is with 12,000mi put on the car YTD.
I cant understand why people keep harping on this stuff. Ive been driving for 2 decades and getting gas or electrons outside the house is as demanding as driving to the store for groceries.
