Volkswagen has set an impressive benchmark by achieving the official range record for the longest distance traveled by an electric vehicle (EV). The Volkswagen ID 7 Pro S, a model straight off the production line, covered an astonishing 587 miles on a single charge.
This particular model boasts a WLTP range of 440 miles, meaning it surpassed expectations by an impressive 147 miles. The feat was accomplished on the renowned Nardò test track in Northern Italy, with the vehicle driven for a total of 33 hours at an average speed of 18 mph—a speed chosen to mimic typical city driving conditions.
This remarkable experiment illustrates the capabilities of modern electric vehicles and highlights how range anxiety, once a significant concern, is becoming a thing of the past. For businesses looking to integrate EVs into their fleets, this achievement demonstrates the reliability and efficiency of electric vehicles in real-world conditions.
As fleet managers consider the transition to electric, this record-setting performance by Volkswagen serves as a testament to the viability of EVs for business fleet leases. The future of fleet management is electric, and Volkswagen is leading the charge.
