EVs that deliver their claimed range (AAA real-world tested, 2026)

Curated by ev-wiki-admin · 8 vehicles

My picks for the EVs that come closest to their WLTP range claim in the AAA's real-world testing - ranked by the smallest shortfall between lab and road.

Every EV the Australian Automobile Association has run through its real-world program fell short of its lab range - but by wildly different margins. These are the models that held up best, ranked by how close the AAA's Geelong-loop result got to the WLTP claim. Figures are for the tested trim; where a newer model year now exists I've linked the current variant. Real-world range still drops further in cold, wind or sustained highway speed.
