BIZARRE: Same battery size different range vw id polo takes on renault 5 - You Need To See This

• The ID. Polo used 5.5% less energy per kilometer than the Renault 5 on a highway-heavy European road trip.
• With equal 52-kWh usable batteries, calculated range was 188 miles for the Polo versus 178 for the Renault.
• The Polo spent 25 fewer minutes charging, although different charging windows prevent a direct speed comparison.

Give two very similar electric hatchbacks the same amount of electricity, and you would expect them to perform about the same on a road trip. The Volkswagen ID. Polo and Renault 5 E-Tech proved predictably similar in many ways during the Eurocharge by Schaeffler EV road trip, but one proved to be the better road-trip machine.
