Tesla Model 3 RWD Displays Impressive Efficiency In European Testing

The new assessment, a spinoff of Euro NCAP, notes that "this is a reason for Tesla engineers to take pride in their accomplishment."

• Green NCAP has given the Tesla Model 3 RWD a perfect five-star rating, acknowledging its excellent fuel efficiency.
• The Model 3 scored an exceptionally high result of 98% in the test, although it did not emerge as the top performer among all the vehicles evaluated in 2023.

Tesla producing some of the most fuel-efficient electric vehicles, with its Model 3 being the most economical model. When put to the test by Green NCAP in 2022, the pre-updated Model 3 yielded outstanding results. Its enhanced variant, the Highland, not only surpasses its predecessor but also secures the highest rating of five stars.

Green NCAP is carried out by the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP). It evaluates vehicles based on their toxic emissions and energy efficiency. It conducts three sets of assessments: atmospheric cleanliness, fuel efficiency, and greenhouse gas emissions.

RWD got the full marks, with a Clean Air Index of 10.0 and a Greenhouse Gas Index of 9.8. The Efficiency Index covers eight tests - four lab tests and four road tests - and the Model 3 performed exceptionally well in all of them, stretching its electric range further than many other electric vehicles.

It is stated that this object has a capacity of 60 kilowatt-hours, which is slightly higher than the recommendations of other estimates, suggesting only a 60 kW capacity but with a usable capacity of approximately 57.5 kWh.

The highway efficiency test, done at the standard European speed limit of 130 km/h, showed a remarkable result of 2.98 miles/kWh or 20.8 kWh/100 km, enabling the vehicle to cover as much as 324 km of "tempi speed driving", according to Green NCAP, which describes it as "a new record." Under mixed driving conditions, it achieved 4.37 miles/kWh or 14.2 kWh/100 km, which would translate to a theoretical maximum range of 475 km.

This car is estimated to use only 12.4 kWh of electricity per 100 kilometers covered, enabling it to travel 547 kilometers on a single full charge. In addition, it was praised for its clever thermal management system, where it successfully warmed the inside of the car's cabin, particularly the area around the front headrests, to 18°C in just three minutes, starting from a cold condition with an outside temperature of -7°C.

The model of the Echo followed in second place, placing the electric Kona afterwards, then the Model 3 in third position.
