Electric car test summer 2023:
Suddenly the petrol symbol switched to electricity. And suddenly, the Jeep Avenger made its debut on Norwegian roads at this summer’s edition of the world’s largest electric vehicle test drive.
We know that there are many people who are passionate about this model, which, perhaps more than anyone else, symbolizes the transition from traditional internal combustion engines to battery electric ones in the future. An electric jeep was a utopia just a few years ago. Now it is a reality.
And if you want to see it on Norwegian soil for the first time, all you have to do is line it up somewhere along the way we’re driving the electric car test.
Perhaps it would be better if it is a place that still stands, that is, a place where we take obligatory breaks: at the Circle K stations in Kallerud next to Gjøvik, Vinstra and Dombås.

Everyone to Dombås?
The Avenger also comes with a larger battery and more powerful motor that can be found in all electric cars from Stellantis’ large range from now on. The DS 3 with this upgrade was also included in this year’s testing.
A good Norwegian summer is expected on the day of the test. And in terms of experience, the cars achieve their WLTP numbers, and rightly so, under the circumstances. This means that the full field of 32 cars will surely make it the 34-mile drive to Dompas, before turning right up the climb towards Dover.
Here are all the cars:
Audi Q8: In terms of looks, only enthusiasts can tell it apart from the old e-tron bestseller. But the range has become much better.
Hyundai Ioniq 6 (2WD): The most controversial design in the field of testing. With best-in-class aerodynamics and rear-wheel drive, you’ll go far.

Mercedes EQS SUV 580 4MATIC: The best Mercedes-Benz luxury has to offer today.
Nine EL7: All-new large SUV with battery replacement and battery subscription option.
Have you read these cases?
Nine ET5: A clear competitor to the Tesla Model 3. Now it has its first chance to catch up with the king of the range.
Toyota bZ4X AWD: The software has been upgraded, the kilometer display has been adjusted – and it can finally be considered ready for Norway.

Xpeng G9: On paper, this has everything you could want — at a good price. Is it actually good?
Jeep Wrangler: The latest news in this field. Comes with the latest generation batteries and motor from Stellantis (Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, etc.)
Subaru Solterra: It faced the same challenges as the Toyota bZ4X twin, and the same important upgrades.
DS3: The little wizard has a bigger battery and more horses (like an Avenger), and suddenly he has a lot more competitive power.

Polestar 2: An interesting change from front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive on entry-level models, and better range overall.

Xpeng P7: A powerful – and necessary – upgrade from a model that’s been on the market for a while.
BMW i7: A luxury limousine in the classic sense, only that it is fully electric. But the appearance is debatable.

BMW iX1: The long-awaited electric version of BMW’s smallest SUV. Four-wheel drive standard.
BYD ATO 3: A newcomer in the affordable family segment, it aims to cover 10 miles more than its winter 311km.
Bid is: An authentic sedan with high comfort for long distances that should be over 50 miles.
JAC e-JS4: It had a rough start in winter testing and I could barely warm the driver and passenger at 30 miles. Take revenge now.
Kia EV6 GT: The most powerful version of the EV6 should be kept in check. If so, it will run 40 miles without any problems.

Mercedes-Benz EQB 250: He did not do well in winter testing, and was among the cars that experienced the greatest loss of range.

Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 4MATIC: Perhaps the best model in the EQE selection makes its electric vehicle test debut.

MG4: The smallest and most modern of the MG family. The range is also shown. You must pass 40 miles.
MG5: The sight of an all-electric station wagon is a rarity. With today’s weather and forecast, it will also be seen north of Dombas.
MJ Marvel: In theory, this should stop first, with an official range of 370 km. But could it come as a surprise?
Nine ET7: The elegant sedan is designed for long journeys. On paper, it should be closer to 60 miles.
Nissan Ariya 2WD: It will be interesting to see how effective this is in the summer. The official range is 533 km. Last winter I stopped at 400 km.

Tesla Model S LR: It covered a total of 530 kilometers in testing in January, which is a winter record. You should easily go at least 10 miles now.

Tesla Model X Blade: The 1,000-plus horsepower behemoth hit 444km this winter, with the loss of the usual low-end range. Plus 10 miles here too?
