Markus Sacher, editor-in-chief of Elektroautomobil magazine, discusses practical range testing of electric vehicles (EVs) versus advertised specifications. His presentation examines real-world EV ranges affected by factors such as temperature and driving speed using a custom TAM cycle simulating typical commuting conditions. Results indicate warmer temperatures help achieve close to 96% brochure-stated WHP values while colder climates significantly reduce this due to increased energy consumption for heating and higher battery resistance. Driving at moderate highway speeds can decrease range by about one-quarter from WLTP values; high speeds or cold weather further halve available distance when performance limits are pushed during winter months. Marcus Zacher highlights sedans' advantages over SUVs on highways due to their flat design offering superior aerodynamics crucial for maximizing vehicle range during long-distance travel at high speeds typically encountered on highways—suggesting sedans could be more beneficial than SUVs concerning fuel efficiency or battery life concerns in extensive highway use scenarios.

Talk of session: Mobility and Fleet Services: The Key to Smooth Electromobility

E-mobility doesn't stop at the charging point - that's where it truly begins. Whether it's company fleets, public charging payments, or infrastructure in multi-family buildings: only smart services make electric mobility practical, efficient, and economically viable.This session explores essential questions: What role do integrated fleet solutions play for businesses? How can user convenience and regulatory compliance be balanced in charging processes? Which technologies enable both stable grid integration and seamless charging experiences? And why are partnerships increasingly shaping the success of entire business models?From real-world EV range to neighborhood charging infrastructure - this session connects vision with practice and shows how mobility and fleet services are accelerating the shift to electric mobility. Moderator: Thomas Bella, Founding and Executive Board Member, BBNM
