There is nothing more like the background of the final stress test of real-world electric vehicle performance in cold weather driving than the real Canadian winter.
Inspired by Norwegian EL Prix Winter EV range testing, the Canadian Automobile Association has created its own version slightly smaller. In the El Prix test, the vehicle is fully charged and driven until it runs out of juice to determine the delta between the campaign and the real-world scope. In the latest EL Prix winter test, the Tesla Model 3 has the longest racing car, not only missing, but also landing near the bottom. Instead, it was the Polestar 3 that topped the list, reaching 348 miles (216 kilometers) at a speed of 330 miles (205 kilometers).
But back to Canada, at sub-zero temperatures, 14 electric cars drove from Ottawa to Mont tremble. Temperatures range from -7°C (19.4°F) to -15°C (5°F).
result? Of the 14 electric vehicles, the two performed well. The rest of the results can only be described as damn.
CAA public affairs manager Murielle Pierre told reporters that the vehicles were put together in caravans of four to five electric vehicles and left Ottawa at different times, depending on the rated range, purpose It was to reach Mont Tremblant.
Not everyone did it.
As far as official resources are concerned, the official range of Natural Resources Canada (Nrcan) called NRCAN is less than the official range, which is the link between the Polestar 2 and the Chevrolet Silverado EV. Both are able to push 86% of their rated range, meaning they only lose 14%.
Polestar, 444 km (276 miles), reached 384 km (237 miles) until it can no longer move under its own strength, while the Chevrolet Silverado EV has a range of 724 km (450 miles) and reached 456 km (283 ) (283 miles (283 km) ).

Two winners are followed by the Kia EV9, losing 20% of its range. Honda preface lost 24%; Volkswagen ID.4, lost 28%; Kia Niro EV and Tesla Model 3, both lost 30%; Ford Mustang Mach E) lost 31%; Chevrolet Equinox lost 34% ;Ford F-150 lightning, lost 35%; Hyundai IONIQ 5, lost 36%; Toyota BZ4X lost 37%; Volvo XC40 charging, lost 39%.
The range calculations were adjusted to reflect that the Chevrolet Silverado EV started with 73% charge state, while the Ford F-150 Lightning started with 89% charge state.
All vehicles outside of Tesla are charged with a 350 kW charger. Tesla costs 150 kW due to compatibility requirements with non-tesla adapters.

CAA also tested how many kilometers the vehicle added with the DC fast charger connected to 15 minutes. The winner is Tesla, with 205 km (127 miles) added, followed by 199 km (124 miles) Silverado, with 131 km (81 miles) Equinox, Polestar 2, with 120 km (80 miles), ID. 4, 112 km (70 miles), and 109 km (68 miles) of F-150 lightning. The rest of the vehicles didn’t even manage to add 100 km, while the Toyota BZ4X only managed to add an embarrassing 19 km (12 miles) in this test.
Pierre said that, in addition, one EV, the Kia EV6 did not participate in the range test due to unspecified complications, but it did participate in the charge test, while another Honda preface was not included in the charge test due to errors it encountered , and the data is not available.
During the testing period, CAFU provided charging, a charge specializing in the fleet’s mobile charging solutions, with some tested vehicles being provided by Plug’N Drive, a nonprofit that promotes sustainable transport.
