- The Kia EV3 long-range GT-Line costs about £40,000 as tested and has an official range of 367 miles.
- Skoda Elroq pricing starts from £31,500.
- Skoda’s basic ingredients are good value.
- Electric Minis offer a special collection opportunity, due to the limited range of its battery.
- Mini Aceman, in entry-level format, will require an addition of 2 plus thousand of pounds to be an adequate electric car.
- The Mini Aceman has a 38.5-kilowatt-hour battery with an official range of 192 miles.
- Mini Aceman starting is priced £31,800 and as tested cost up to £41,600
- The claimed driving range for the basic version (E) of the Mini Aceman is just 244 miles and not great.
- The Mini Aceman’s level two equipment pack increases the cost and pushes the overall price over £40,000.
- The Kia EV3 Long Range is the slowest car tested in video
- The entry-level Skoda Elroq undercuts the cheaper version of the Kia EV3, which is smaller.
- The reviewed Skoda Elroq is a 85 Edition with bigger wheels at roughly £44,700.
- The Elroq tested has a claimed range of 350 miles.
- The Kia EV3 and Skoda Elroq are more affordable than Tesla, with price tags of £30,000.
- For the Elroq as tested, a flat folding rear seat provides an enormous open cargo area.
- The video reviewers were less impressed with the Mini Aceman's predicted range, and that it died along the road.
- Kia's entry-level interior EV3 and driving position are well done and the head restraints are exceptionally comfortable.
- The power tailgate makes a great impression on reviewers.
- The Elroq is considered very nice because the steering is brilliant and very nicely weighted.
- The best selling car in the world last year was the Tesla Model Y and is considered a brilliant electrical car, range is brilliant, and it is very practical.
- Key concerns:
- Climate controls are part of the touchscreen, so hard to see/access from the driver’s seat.
- The ride is bad when driving with poor conditions like rain.
- Mini doesn’t have level 2 equipment.
- The 60:40 split fold seat isn’t accessible from the boot area.
- The video team used a Tesla supercharger to achieve good results on the Skoda Elroq.
- The Skoda Elroq has the greatest amount of passenger space and the best performing driving distance, costing nearly £38.97 in charging the vehicle for their journey, making it a winner.
- Mini, a family car, is a little disappointing since it's the lowest performer on the comparison test with approximately 170 miles of electric mileage for the trip.
- It would be worth finding a standard version of the Elroq to see how things compare to the electric cars on the list.
