Description
We race a Tesla Model 3 EV and Toyota Camry Hybrid across a long distance journey to see whether EVs are still too slow for road trips - or whether they have caught up.
Refuelling petrol cars is much faster than recharging EVs, but how do things change for long distance road trips when EV range gets much better and charging times fall?
That’s what we are here to find out with this Tesla EV vs Camry Hybrid road trip challenge, with the added detail of a fuel price comparison in the current context.
On test is the Toyota Camry SL Hybrid (claimed 1250km range from a 50L fuel tank) and Tesla Model 3 Premium Long Range RWD (claimed 750km WLTP range from a 79kWh battery). Both are sedans.
