Video Summary

The electric car is a Model 3 Long Range Rear Wheel Drive Highland 2025. The initial plan was to drive from Hinckley to Leuchars, a 366-mile journey, without charging. This was predicted to result in arriving with -20% charge remaining. The reviewer changed the route to a 374-mile route. He started with 96% charge, equal to 302 miles of range. He's on a 6.5-hour journey and won't be able to drive non-stop. -20% was dropping to -12% during the journey. His average power consumption was 198.8 Wh/mile. Now to reach the destination while maintaining a speed under 55 miles/hour the estimate is 5% when he will arrive.

He stops for a rest. After having driven for 3 hours and 3 minutes and using 39.2 kWh, he had travelled 185 miles. This averages 214.6 Wh/mile.
It required a charge for 17 minutes at 234 kW to reach 7% charge, however the rate dropped very fast. Total cost would be 4 £ if he would charge at home and use energy storage. The extra 3.75 kWh would take him another 30 miles.

At that moment, an efficiency of 214 Wh/mile yields approximately 350 miles of range.
The road was smooth, he maintained approximately 70 m/h but at places the traffic was a little bit heavier.
The tires were not of the standard type which had a minor effect on the efficiency.
Because it was difficult to continue the journey, he had to stop and charge and came to the place with 4%.
