A practical experiment with a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt proves the ability of electric cars to cover long distances exceeding half a million miles with limited maintenance.
An independent study by AVILOO found that the Mercedes EQA, Hyundai IONIQ 5, and BMW i4 maintained the highest levels of battery health after covering 150,000 kilometers, while the Nissan Leaf, MINI Cooper SE, and Renault Zoe recorded the weakest results. The data confirms that a model’s average performance is not enough to assess a particular used car, making an independent inspection important before purchase.
Hyundai has revealed the exterior and interior design of the fifth-generation Tucson, which features a wider, more boxy body and a completely redesigned cabin. The company has not yet announced details of the powertrain, while expectations point to the continued availability of hybrid and plug-in hybrid options.
Hyundai has begun accepting orders for the IONIQ 3 in the United Kingdom and Europe, with an approximate starting price of £22,245 for the entry-level version. The car offers two battery options with a range of up to 308 miles according to the WLTP standard, and is expected to reach showrooms in late September 2026.
