EV real-world range testing finds popular models falling short by up to 23pc less than advertised
A popular Chinese-made electric vehicle has a real-world driving range of nearly one quarter less than advertised under laboratory conditions, according to testing conducted by the Australian Automobile Association (AAA). The AAA on Wednesday released results of five EVs from the latest round of its Real-World Testing Program, which found driving ranges between 5 per cent and 23 per cent less in real driving conditions than recorded in mandatory lab tests conducted by the manufacturers. The 2023 BYD Atto 3 was the worst performer with a driving range of 369km on a single charge — 23 per cent less than the 480km recorded in its lab test. The 2024 Tesla Model 3 had a real-world range of 441km, 14 per cent less than the 513km achieved in the lab. The 2022 Kia EV6 and the 2024 Tesla Model Y both had driving ranges of 8 per cent less than their lab tests — 484km for the EV6 and 490km for the Model Y. The best performer was the 2024 Smart #3, which recorded a real-world driving range of 432km, only 5 per cent below its mandatory lab test. Polling conducted by the AAA last month found 60 per cent of likely EV buyers identified range and recharging as 'the main concerns or hesitations that might prevent you from choosing an electric vehicle (not a hybrid) for your next car purchase'. 'As more EVs enter our market, our testing will help consumers understand which new market entrants measure up on battery range,' AAA managing director Michael Bradley said in a statement. 'Our program will bring confidence to Australian fleets and families looking to buy an EV.' BYD and Tesla have been contacted for comment. Speaking on Seven's Sunrise on Thursday, host Nat Barr questioned whether manufacturers should be forced to be more upfront. 'Just looking at the reasons why you get less than advertised on the battery — hot weather can change it, cold weather can change it, driving on different terrain can change it, stopping and starting can change it, braking can change it,' Barr said. 'A lot can change the amount [of power] you get from the standardised testing. Basically, everything can change it. Do you think they should maybe change what they advertise?' Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said while the technology was improving 'in regional areas it's a really big concern, and the range anxiety is a real thing'. 'So, I guess for the moment, it is a wait and see with that, particularly when you get outside of the cities it's a real danger,' she said. 'They offer the ability to drive short distances on electric power while retaining the flexibility and range of a conventional engine.' It comes after similar test results released by the AAA this week showed 25 of 30 cars consumed more fuel than advertised. The Real-World Testing Program, funded by the federal government to the tune of $14 million, has tested 114 fuel-powered cars, vans, and utes since it began in August 2023, finding that more than 77 per cent exceeded fuel consumption recorded in lab tests. One in five also exceeded noxious emissions limits from lab tests. Mr Bradley said the program had established that consumers could not always rely on a carmaker's laboratory tests as an indicator of real-world performance. The program was created following the 2015 Volkswagen scandal, when it was revealed the German auto giant had been optimising its vehicles for laboratory performance to meet emissions regulations targets. The Real-World Testing Program uses a 93km circuit in and around Geelong in Victoria. It uses strict testing protocols based on European regulations to ensure results are repeatable and to minimise the influence of human factors such as driving style and changing traffic flows. The program measures EV range by quantifying both the energy needed to drive a vehicle around the test route, and the energy needed to recharge each vehicle's fully depleted battery. It also measures each vehicle's energy consumption, which determines the cost of operating the vehicle, and which carmakers are legally obliged to report at point of sale. BYD still trails behind Tesla in the battery electric only market, with 8556 units sold in the first six months of the year across its Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal and Sealion 7 models. Tesla sold 14,146 of its Model 3 and Model Y in the same period. Including BYD's plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), the Shark 6 and the Sealion 6, the Chinese manufacturer sold 23,335 total units. The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) notes EV sales have stalled, remaining below 8 per cent of new vehicle sales in 2025, while PHEVs have experienced rapid growth with sales up 183 per cent year-to-date. 'With more than 50 models available in 2025, plug-in hybrids have emerged as an important transition technology for many Australians, particularly those in regional areas or those with limited access to charging,' FCAI chief executive Tony Weber said in a statement this week.

Glow-in-the-dark road markings to expand across NSW
Motorists in one Australian state could soon see an increase in glow-in-the-dark road markings following a successful trial that has slashed night-time accidents. In December 2024, the state government installed photoluminescent line markings along Bulli Pass, a steep and winding descent south of Sydney, to improve night-time visibility and road safety. Bulli Pass was initially selected due to a spate of near misses involving trucks and motorcycles. Six months on, Transport for NSW has confirmed to Yahoo News that additional sites are now being reviewed, following the trial's promising early results, which included a 67 per cent drop in night-time near misses. The success of the Bulli Pass trial has prompted the government to explore expanding the technology to other high-risk locations across the state. Similar to glow-in-the-dark toys and stickers, these road markings are made with a photoluminescent paint that absorbs sunlight during the day and emits a soft glow at night. This technology aims at helping drivers see lanes more clearly and navigate curves in lowlight conditions. A Transport for NSW spokesperson told Yahoo News the glow markings are designed to improve visibility in low light and poor weather, especially on roads where regular street lighting isn't practical. 'The benefit of the glow was greatest in improving visibility beyond the range of vehicle headlights — increasing the visibility of the lines on the bend to just below daylight detectability when the glow was fully charged,' they said. Community feedback has also been overwhelmingly positive, with 83 per cent of surveyed motorists backing the trial after reporting an increased sense of safety when travelling along the route. Glow-in-the-dark road markings may become one of several safety tools used to help meet the state's ambitious goal of eliminating all road deaths and serious injuries by 2050. And not only can it be used for drivers on roads, but it can also be expanded to footpaths, bike paths, helicopter landing pads, and airstrips in a bid to improve visibility and safety. While NSW's trial has gained momentum, Victoria previously tested similar technology in 2022 but did not move forward with a wider rollout. Five rural roads, including a one-kilometre stretch of Metong Road in Victoria's southeast, were illuminated under the trial, conducted by Gippsland company Tarmac Linemarking in collaboration with OmniGrip and VicRoads. Tarmac Linemarking's John Emanuelli said at the time he had been swamped by businesses and councils looking to have their paths illuminated. 'There's been a lot of interest since the trial run, it's a great product,' he said. An independent evaluation of the trial conducted for Victoria's Department of Transport and Planning concluded there were insufficient road safety benefits to justify rolling out photoluminescent line markings on more roads. Unlike NSW's trial, however, Victoria's did not include very low-speed environments such as tight curves on high-speed roads.
