Frequently asked questions
What are the Hongqi EHS7 and Toyota bZ4X like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 275 miles for the Hongqi EHS7 and 230 miles for the Toyota bZ4X - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Hongqi EHS7 goes roughly 45 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 20 minutes in the Hongqi EHS7 and 30 in the Toyota bZ4X, so the Hongqi EHS7 loses less time at each stop. That makes the Hongqi EHS7 the stronger long-distance car.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Hongqi EHS7 or the Toyota bZ4X?
The Toyota bZ4X is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 90 mm narrower than the Hongqi EHS7. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 540 mm of total clearance for the Toyota bZ4X and about 450 mm of total clearance for the Hongqi EHS7.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Hongqi EHS7 or the Toyota bZ4X?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Hongqi EHS7 and 84% for the Toyota bZ4X. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
