EV Database efficiency figures look poor

[LenEV2016]

EV Database have published their figures and they aren't the best, especially if they want to take Tesla customers

IM 5 standard average range 255miles on 75 KW battery.

Tesla model 3 standard range 275 miles on 64 KW battery

IM 5 long range 355 miles on 100kw battery

Tesla 3 long-range rwd 340 miles on a 75 KW battery

It certainly looks like the extra size and weight has harmed efficiency. Obviously other cars out there just compared it with the Tesla as it's the most obvious competitor.

Nothing different to ice cars with bigger engines being less efficient so costing more per journey.

Battery sizes are in kWh, by the way, not kW.

For reference, when we test drive the 75kWh IM5, that showed that they had got around 2.9mi/kWh in the car up to that point, which is not very good to be honest, resulting in a real-world range of about 225 miles roughly. The 100kWh battery is likely to be similar efficiency, so a real-world range of about 280-320 miles, depending on speed, weather, right foot etc.

If it was a demonstrator, I'd be suspecting that a few customers have been a bit lead footed to try out the power . The demo car I test drove was showing 3.8mi/kWh at the time of my testing.
Speaking for myself, I've never been precious about max range. I very rarely drive more than a couple of hundred miles in one trip anyway.
