American traveled more than 1,500 km in one day in a Tesla Model 3 electric car

The Engineering Explained YouTube channel, with 3 million subscribers, posted a video in which Jason Fenske decided to check if a car could drive 1,600 km in a day.

For the test, the Tesla Model 3 was chosen in the Performance version, which can, according to the passport, drive about 500 km without recharging. As a result, the 1565 km trip took 16 hours and 30 minutes at an average speed of 95 km / h. The car ran for 14 hours 6 minutes, and Jason Fenske spent another 2 hours 24 minutes recharging.

The author of the test confirmed that the remaining battery charge would have been enough to cover the planned 1,600 km, but this was not necessary, and Jason Fenske just got to his hotel a little earlier than planned.

The calculations also showed that the trip cost $ 89, and a gasoline car with a consumption of 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers would have required at least $ 100 at American prices.

A recent study in California found that one in five electric vehicle owners reverts back to their usual combustion-powered cars, primarily due to the small number of fast charging stations and the lengthy recharging process at work or at home, which is often 8-10 hours.
