Master the future of transportation with Brian Culp’s essential guide to electric vehicles. As the automotive industry shifts toward sustainable energy, this comprehensive resource breaks down everything from battery technology and charging infrastructure to cost-saving incentives. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a clean-tech enthusiast, gain the expert insights needed to navigate the EV revolution with confidence.
In this video I load the new AWD KGM Musso EV 100% electric Ute with 500kg of stock feed, family of 4 and some day trip gear to test the range from 100% down to 10% charge. The day didn’t go as planned as I run out of time to do more motorway speed driving but still got some valuable data.
The range for the tested component for this all-wheel-drive model indicates 324km based on a 22.1kWh/100km efficiency but I estimate a more realistic 259km based on a 27kWh/100km. Its disappointing I didn’t get to do a full end to end test, maybe in the future? I would love to do a caravan test. Anyone out there keen to provide sponsorship $$ for this or caravan loan?
