ECOBEST Challenge 2024 - Electrified by VInFast Technical Results Announcement Online Conference

The ‘ECOBEST Challenge 2024 - electrified by VINFAST’ and supported by Quattroruote, is the first European independent real traffic test of mainstream EVs to reveal the real green credentials. It remains the only such test with a transparent, neutral and balanced approach. The results come from a consistent methodology of testing performed identically on all 13 cars. This methodology is inspired by the practical needs and driving behavior of most European motorists, coming from the habits in their daily commuting.

From June 26th to June 28th, the ECOBEST Challenge 2024 tested 13 electric cars from different well-known manufacturers such as Audi Q4 e-tron, BMW i5 Touring, BYD Dolphin, Fiat 600e, Honda e:Ny1, Hyundai Kona, Kia EV9, Lancia Ypsilon, Mini, Opel Corsa, Tesla Model Y, Volkswagen ID.7 and Volvo EX30.

The 2024 edition of the ECOBEST Challenge has been certified by Bureau Veritas – a global recognition of the genuine, comprehensive, consistent, and innovative methodology employed in testing electric vehicles (EVs) in real traffic conditions and assessing their real-life green credentials in an unbiased manner.

Major findings
As a consequence of this unbiased approach, the real range results show that WLTP is a bit more optimistic in comparison to driving in real traffic. None of the tested models did achieve their homologated WLTP figure. However, all the cars reached more than 73% of the minimum WLTP reference used in all the indexes. AUDI Q4 Sportback e-tron is the best with an outstanding EcoC 1 of 98.95%.
