- bdsa 3y agoIt's the "HiPhi Z": > Despite having a 74 km less advertised range than the favored Tesla Model 3, The HiPhi Z bested the world’s best-selling electric sedan by a whopping 81 km (50.3 miles) in real-world winter testing.
- garyclarke27 3y agoHiPhi Z longest range because it has a huge battery 120 Kwh - It's not very efficient using 24.32 Kwh per 100km vs 18 for Tesla Model 3 - It's also very expensive starting at €105,000 ($114,652).
- ChatGTP 3y agoIt has greater range than any Tesla available and performed better in cold weather, therefore the Tesla has been dethroned, and that's OK.
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoAnd part of the reason for the lower efficiency and the higher cost is the presence of a larger, therefore heavier, more expensive, battery. It has uses but the longest range EV these days is almost by definition going to have drawbacks for the average user. For most people improving the charging experience is the low hanging fruit, not adding more batteries.

- clouddrover 3y agoA number of those cars achieved better range in the test than the Model 3. BMW i5 BMW i5 eDrive40, Hyundai IONIQ 6, Kia EV9, Lotus Eletre, NIO EL6 (ES6), NIO ET5, XPeng G9, and the HiPhi Z all beat the Model 3. The HiPhi Z currently on offer in Europe is not worth buying because they're trying to sell it with a GB/T port and an adapter. It's a dumb idea and it doesn't work well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_2SmiEjOQY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_2SmiEjOQY
