"Germany's ADAC simulated a 361-mile winter highway run at ~0 C with identical conditions to evaluate real-world range and charging needs, showing all EVs fell short of their WLTP figures. The Audi A6 Avant E-tron Performance topped the group with strong efficiency and charging, regaining ~186 miles of range in a 20-minute fast charge. The Tesla Model Y showed the best consumption, but slower charging limited gains; other models varied widely in range and charging capability under winter stress. More than a dozen new electric"
"ADAC, the country's largest car club, gathered 14 family-oriented electric cars, all of which have an advertised WLTP range of at least 310 miles (500 kilometers), and ran them through a pre-recorded 361-mile (582 km) course on a test bench. It's appropriately called the Winter Stress Test. But as EV veterans know too well, the quoted range figure can't be taken at face value, especially when we're talking about winter conditions and Europe's WLTP testing procedure. That test is known for its rather optimistic"
"At any rate, the German test's goal was to reveal how many 20-minute charging stops would be needed to complete the trip, how efficient the cars would be, and whether or not it makes sense to get an EV as a family car. The Kia EV6 was among the cars in the test. It finished in the middle of the pack.

ADAC simulated a 361-mile winter highway run at roughly 0°C on a dynamometer using a recorded Munich–Berlin route to impose identical conditions across vehicles. Fourteen family-oriented EVs with advertised WLTP ranges of at least 310 miles were tested for real-world consumption and charging behavior. Every tested model fell short of its WLTP figure in these winter conditions. The Audi A6 Avant E-tron Performance achieved the best combination of efficiency and charging, regaining about 186 miles in a 20-minute fast charge. The Tesla Model Y posted the lowest consumption but slower peak charging limited its charge gains. Results varied widely across models.
