Electric car adoption in Germany is on the rise, with one in five new cars being electric in 2023.

Real-world testing by Bild on 61 models at 130 km/h shows range drops significantly, especially in cold weather with up to 30% reduced battery life.

High-end electric vehicles like the BMW i4 and Mercedes EQS still achieve over 400 km range at highway speeds, while more affordable models may fall below 200 km.

ADAC's test results align with Bild's findings, suggesting consistent performance trends across different evaluations.

Driving speed and ambient temperature are critical factors affecting electric vehicle range, highlighting the need for consumers to consider these conditions when selecting a car.
