Today we are going to compare tesla model 3, Renault Zoe, BMW i3 and Kona
Kona, a crossover made for family
model 3 is a heavy sedan but very quick :D
Renault Zoe is an MPV suitable for a whole family and pretty adaptable
The BMW i3 is a small SUV , a citycar
kona is a crossover, pretty comfy, and the van isn't really that big but ok for a family
a really long car, 4.69 meters, 5 seats comfortable and the seats in the back are comfy as well,
the battery is beatifully placed as down as possible allowing for great space for the seats, so also tall people (not me for sure) can take a seat in the car
i got to say that the van is very wide, the only one issue is that the hatch, not being so big doesn't permit placing big items in the car
4.08 meters, cosy from the outside but yet very spacious and suitable for families. It is as yet as for now one of the most wide in her genre
actually endorsed for 4 people it's really compact and proper for city
PROS and CONS
the biggest benefit of this car is the feeling of driving it that i personally have never felt so much
the Tesla brand completely focuses on the autonomy and on the entertaintment
the biggest benefit of the Renault Zoe is the recharging time, we are talking about 120 torque in AC and 50 in DC
the gratest quality are the dimensions
the biggest fault is maybe the internal design
this car has lots of faults, all little ones but the most relevant is the external painting
the fault in this car is the palstic components that deliver an alike sensation
biggest flaw is the autonomy
this is the 65kw version
it's full of accessories, for example the warming sistem, sound system, head up display, etc...
this is a super-equipped car
it has everything out of the factory,
The only accessories for this car is the Full Self Driving Capabilities, i think is the best one.
This car is the Zen Version, it's the "Middle" version
but it has almost everything, Infotainment, auto warming system, steering wheels control backlighted, Full LED Lights, Lcd display, parking sensors, etc...
like every German car the accessories needs to be payed, my favourite is the navigator
Navigator
Next question?
it's very simple, is like using Google Maps you have to write here where you want to go and if you need the car it will say to stop at a Tesla supercharger
it shows you how much fast you can charge and the nearby attractions to visit while the car is charging
like here, there is the bathroom, resturant, caffe', shopping and there is Free Wi-Fi
This navigator is based on google, it is better than the previous version and we can see the map also on the screen in front of me
this is bmw navigator, you can control it with the lever below, it has the main recharging place but it dosen't have Apple Car Play
In the city?
Like other EVs it goes very well, it has small size, Good Acceleration and good regenerative braking
The sizes aren't small but in the city it handles very well,
moreover, it consumes very little indeed
0 liters every 100 kilometers (0 Gallons every 60 Miles) LOL
In the city it has the eco mode ( B ) the regenerative braking is very Strong and now you can drive with just One pedal!
at the traffic lights no one overtakes you, it has the one pedal drive and in the city it is very small and convenient to park
on the highway?
on the highway you can easily get to 130km/h (81mi/h)
Battery range goes down a little but you can still do 400km (250miles)
on the highway all electric cars suffer the more than in the city becouse
the speed is high, costant and there is no regenerative braking
so, with a Tesla Model 3 Long Range on the highway at 130km/h (80mi/h) the range is 365km (227mi)
with a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus the range at the same speed is 300km (187mi)
On highway it behaves very well, it's comfortable, at 130km/h (80mi/h) the range is 220km (137mi)
going at 100km/h (62mi/h) you can get to over 300km (187mi)
on highway it’s really bad you need to stay under 100km/h (62mi/h) to get a decent battery range,
if you go over 110km/h (70mi/h) the range halved
comfort
like all electric cars it is fun, fast and very comfortable and even on long journeys I have never had a bad back
extremely beautiful to drive, it’s very manageable and it’s weight isn’t felt
very fast, 0-100km/h (0-60mi/h) in 3.2 seconds with 500HorsePower,
it makes you happy, guys if you never tryed Tesla Model 3 go and test drive it!
The car is very fulfilling to drive, versatile, balanced and it does not suffer from rebounds due to battery balancing
With 170 HorsePower it’s very fun to drive, it has a good grip and braking.
How do you charge it?
I charge it almost always at home with a 7kw wallbox or when I need to the DC charging place at a max speed of 75kw/h
i practically always charge it ato home, at the evening i plug it in at  AC 2kw, around 150km(94mi) every night
I can't cherge it at work so I use the superchargers that is very close to my house that charge it fully in about 30 minutes
I don't charge at home, i charge only to Free Charging spots of my city, and i charge at 11/22kw
Type 2
For daily charging
and for travels,
DC
I mainly charge it at home during the night with a WallBox (7kw)
and in the morning it's always at 100% ready to be used
Then if i need to charge faster i can do it, DC up to 50 kw using my city charging place (in Milan)
Price
Hyundai Kona start from 34000€ and get to 49500€
from 48000€ to 75000€
and this is the top one
from 17500€, every +1500€ is a next version, you can choose to buy the battery for 8200€ or to rent it.
this is the Zen version, it's around 20000€
From 36000€ up to 61000€
This is the top one, 61k €
would you buy it again?
Yes
Who? Me?
I'm Matteo Valenza, if I could, I'd buy two!
those who want to buy a car must also consider the zoe becouse is very "cheap" and is very good, i bought the new version
yes but not this model
Too expansive
Guys, this is all, the personal experiences of those people are the most important things,
