Quiz: 'Are You an Electric Vehicle Expert?' [feedback would be appreciated]

[IgorAntarov]

We have built a quiz to test EV knowledge and promote EV-awareness:
Are you an Electric Vehicle Expert?

Acknowledging positive feedback from a previous quiz, we've decided to make something more challenging and entertaining. I would be grateful if you let me know what you think.

Did you manage to get 10/10?
Are there any dumb questions that need to be removed?

That was decently hard, I got a 5/10

But at the same time I tend to stick with Tesla and not look into the other EVs lol

Thanks for the feedback! Can you share a couple of insights?
Did you get any valuable\interesting info from the test for you? or all this tips on the other EVs was still irrelevant for you?
Should we add more broad\technical questions, or overall it was ok?

I think the quiz was interesting, it helped me learn a bit more about the other EVs offered on the market. I didn't know that the Sono Sion existed, how fast the other EVs were, or how much range they had. They're all interesting facts for me to compare to what Tesla has to offer.

And yes, adding more technical questions about EVs would be nice

Nice intro to the site in general, evcompare.io. That's a very nice site I hadn't seen before.

Thanks, we'll see how to maintain the balance between casual a more pro-like questions.

Thank you. Our goal is to push EV-awareness fuhrer by helping to find out what EV-market could offer. There are a lot of EVs noways, and we were struggling to explain what is what to newcomers, so we decided to put all cars with all tech specs in one place.

If you liked it, you'll probably like a market overview interactive diagramm: Electric Car Market Overview
It shows everything at once. (spoiler: Tesla is dominating the market

I don’t care about the interiors of cars I will never buy. 7/10.

To be really confusing, they should have shown a CCS Type 2 connector for European models of that first car.

7 out of 10, but I guessed correctly on a few...

9/10. Have not seen chademo before as usa Tesla owner.

Electrify America. Check you local Walmart parking lot.

7/10. Never heard of the Sono before, but got that one by elimination.

Wrong on interior photo, hatch photo and the range question.

So we can conciser that a dumb question? I'm serious if something looks tiring and not fun, it's better be fixed.

Interesting perspective. For me if there was a CCS - its a hint, because there is no CCS on MS and MX in Europe.

If you can guess several times in a row, there should be a reason. I believe you know way more on EVs than you thorough

It's a tricky question. But for example in Europe it's pretty useful. Just returned from a trip to Belarus, we had to use only CHAdeMO chargers with Model S for more than 1200 miles in a row.

Thanks. I feel that we should do something with interior\hatch questions.

No, don’t take it that way. I didn’t say dumb. I was justifying my inability to get them all correct (I guess I don’t know enough about all the EVs).

It’s just that when you get into interiors, you’re asking people to know some very special specifics. All cars have interiors and I wouldn’t have known that was an EV vs. any other car. You could have put a gasmobile interior in there as a trick question and I would have missed it.

The range question caught me because I did not know if the Niro or the Soul has the best range. I guessed and got it wrong. But I learned from my guess that it is the Niro.

Keep adding questions. I could think of a few fancy ones that might trip up some people, but they’d get very technical.

7/10. I guess I haven't followed non-Tesla EVs as closely as I used to. Here in the USA, the Tesla Supercharger network is game changing; we just took a trip in our Model S from Southern California to Arizona, Colorado, South Dakota, and Wyoming. I only recommend non-Tesla EVs to people who are on a tight budget and don't need to be able to travel far. Considering that Tesla sells the majority of EVs in the US, you could add more Tesla questions to your quiz.

Maybe break it into two quizzes: EV technology and the actual cars that consumers can or will be able to drive.

6/10. I blew it on the various interior shots of the lesser cars I never looked at and never will. One of them I never heard of. Like jebinc, got a lucky guess on one!

 

[GregRF]

Thanks. I feel that we should do something with interior\hatch questions.

If the quiz is actually on EV expertise I would like to see some questions on the technology. AC vs DC charging, battery C rates, Induction vs Permanent Magnet motors, etc.

I thought it was fun, helped by getting 10 out of 10 right! (although I admit I was not certain with the i-Pace interior, but I knew it was not a Taycan and it didn't feel like Audi or Mercedes).

My view is that this is a great start. I very much like having a variety of models to remind everyone that the BEV world is growing quickly.

Although maybe a trifle 'geeky' I think it would be good to show a handful of public charging stations also. Many people are unaware of how dense European charging coverage is, so it might be nice to show a handful of country specific options.

I also think you might, resources available, make multiple examinations on different subjects.

You have been such a pioneer that you seem to gravitate towards the educational. That is a great service to all of us.

Thank you!
