Electric vehicle long-distance travel testing

Overview

Recent reports highlight the feasibility of long-distance travel using electric vehicles across Europe. A test of the Kia EV5 electric SUV during a 4,000-kilometer journey to Brittany, France, demonstrated the vehicle’s suitability for long trips, noting its comfort, cargo capacity, and low energy costs.

In a separate instance, a family from Almería completed a 6,071-kilometer trip through eight European countries using a Mercedes EQS SUV. The travelers utilized specialized applications to plan charging stops, maintaining an autonomy of 300 to 400 kilometers per charge. They reported that the trip was more cost-effective than using a combustion engine vehicle and encountered no significant issues with existing electric infrastructure.
