How to compare EVs by real-world range and running cost
Updated:
Choose a common scenario first
Compare range at the same temperature, speed and battery reserve. WLTP alone does not determine winter motorway range, and the largest battery does not necessarily mean the lowest electricity cost. This table is generated on every build from the same database and range model as the calculator. It contains every published variant in the Czech vehicle catalogue. It is not our own road test or a purchase-price ranking.
Fluxtrio model estimate inputs: 0 °C, 100% battery health, a 100→0% charge window, one occupant, no additional luggage, normal driving style, and no rain, headwind or hills. Combined driving includes city and motorway travel with motorway speed 110 km/h. The separate motorway column uses 130 km/h at the same temperature. Reference figures are WLTP except for explicitly labelled unhomologated manufacturer claims.
Assumed home tariffs are 6 CZK/kWh or 0.30 EUR/kWh. These are independent examples, not an exchange-rate conversion. Costs include charging losses, as in the calculator. For public DC, an example assumption of 12 CZK/kWh or 0.60 EUR/kWh doubles these energy costs. Enter your own price and currency in the calculator.
Turn the table into a decision
The longest winter motorway result here, including labelled estimated inputs, belongs to Volkswagen ID.7 Limited Edition Plus, 86 kWh, 19", 5 mÃst, NL at 444 km; the shortest is Renault Twingo E-Tech evolution, 60 kW, 27.5 kWh, 16" at 159 km. Such a broad selection is not a direct contest between similar cars. Read preliminary and unhomologated records separately: they do not carry the same confidence as a documented production configuration.
For an 80→10% charge window, multiply the modelled range by 0.70. That is an energy adjustment within the same scenario, not another test. If the result falls short of your regular journey, consider a charging stop or a lower motorway speed. If it only just exceeds the journey, do not treat the difference as a safe margin for every weather condition. Add your actual payload and battery health before comparing cars.
Separate vehicle efficiency from electricity price. First compare consumption for the same temperature and route, then apply your home and public tariffs to both cars. An owner charging at home and a driver relying on public DC can face different bills in the same vehicle. The table excludes time fees, subscriptions and maintenance; it does not establish a financial payback period for a more expensive car.
Longer range does not automatically mean faster long-distance travel. Charging curves, available stations and battery conditions also matter. Peak charging power alone cannot predict a real 10→80% stop. We do not invent charging times for variants without documented power data. Where the vehicle detail provides an ideal lower bound, it is not a promise of stop duration.
Check the source configuration
Open the vehicle detail and check year, market, usable capacity and wheels. Trim names can differ between countries. Heat pumps and wheel sizes do not receive separate percentage bonuses in this model; consumption comes from the assigned record and corrections use shared assumptions. Published ADAC or NAF tests can help if their temperature, route and battery are understood. The page date describes recalculation; source verification dates are shown in the vehicle details.
