Comparison: Range (WLTP) Lotus Evija vs. competitors 2025

The range of an electric car, such as this , refers to the maximum distance it can travel on a single charge of its battery. This can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and capacity of the battery (Evija : 90 kWh), the vehicle's weight ((Evija : 1680 kg)) and aerodynamics, and the driving conditions.The WLTP range cycle (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure) is a test procedure specifically designed to measure the range and consumption of an electric vehicle. It is done in variety of driving conditions, such as urban, suburban and highway driving , as well as air conditioning and heating usage.This test aims to provide a more realistic estimate of an electric vehicle's range than the previous testing method (NEDC), which was based on a single driving cycle.The longest range you can find amongst similar vehicles has Porsche Taycan (Y1A ), which is 247km more than the Evija - 592 km. For illustration, the difference in battery capacity between the Lotus and the Porsche is -1kWh. On the other hand, the shortest range in the "medium coupe" category belongs to Mercedes-Benz AMG ONE , which is 18 km - that makes it 327km shorter than the Lotus in question.
