I get 55 to 65 in winter. 75 to 85 in summer.

“THIS IS THE BUSINESS: We drove 20 cars along a route from Oslo north to Dombås, east to Folldal and then south again. And the cars were driven until it was completely out of battery ...
Our Model S rolled its very last meter on the stretch south from Folldal, but never quite reached the Venabygdsfjellet.
When the trip meter stood at 469.8 km it was all over.
And the victory was no doubt.

The three Tesla models took three of the top four spots, while the Hyundai Kona again confirmed its impressive range - and sneaked ahead of the Tesla Model 3.
We started the trip in three degrees of heat and rain / sleet in Oslo - and the further north we came, the cooler it became. But severe winter cold never became. At its coldest, the thermometer showed minus six degrees.
The test is first and foremost an indication of how the cars deliver in relation to the WLTP range we are usually given - and these figures are shown below.
Experience shows that the WLTP tests prove to be quite good when driving in normal summer weather. You can read here about the range test we did with nine electric cars last summer .
But no one has driven 20 electric cars at the same time as we did now:
Everyone started fully charged after one night in the garage, with a cold battery, 21 degree cabin heating and low-level seat heating. The cars were run out of battery (we had the result of two salvage cars picking us up and transporting us to the nearest charging station).
Route and topography, temperature, load amount, tire size and not least the driving pattern will significantly affect the range.
We will be back in the days and weeks that provide detailed information on the car's performance - in addition to the charging tests we will be conducting in the next days.”
