The 2026 CAA Electric Vehicle Circuit has put long-distance electric driving to the test, revealing significant differences in charging infrastructure, real-world efficiency, and overall costs among participating models. While some EVs demonstrated strong performance over extended trips, others struggled with slower charging speeds or higher energy consumption, raising questions about reliability for road trips. The results highlight how practicality can vary even among well-regarded electric vehicles, particularly when it comes to maintaining range and minimizing downtime. Drivers considering long-distance EV travel may need to weigh these factors carefully before committing to a specific model.
