Kia EV2 delivers 105% of its official range estimate in the real world, ranking #1 in class

During the Summer El Prix EV test, held by the Norwegian Automobile Federation (NAF) and Motor Magazine, the Kia EV2 standard range model with a 42.2 kWh battery drove 325 km (201 miles) on a single charge, beating its WLTP range rating of 308 km (191 miles).

Kia said the EV2 ranked “first among all compact and mid-size electric vehicles tested, confirming its class-leading real-world efficiency.”

With an average energy consumption of 12.4 kWh/100 km, the Kia EV2 outperformed most of the vehicles tested.

That's pretty good efficiency on the standard range car (12.4kWh/100km). However, note that because it only travelled 325km, it didn't quite make it up the mountain so the efficiency is slightly skewed. The long range did make it up the mountain so its efficiency of 13.63kWh/100km is more representative.
