Take three cars, two electric and one gas, put them on a loop for 1,000 miles, and see which is done with the trip first, as well as the total fuel cost for each car. What a concept!

Races are very popular on InsideEVs, though we'd argue that a "race" like this should be much more popular than a drag race or a trip around the twisty track. Sure, more traditional races are fun and exciting to watch, and there's nothing quite like showing gas cars that EVs are better.

With that said, a practical road trip "race" – it's not really a race but rather a range, efficiency, and charging test – like the one above just published by Marques Brownlee (MKBHD), is much more useful. Prospective EV owners want to know how long a road trip will take them, what are the challenges, and will it really be much more inconvenient than a road trip in a gas car?

We've seen many long road-trip race videos before. Those that we've watched and published stories about are typically two or more EVs racing one another. However, this video is unique since it features two of the latest and most compelling entries in the electric car space: the Tesla Model S Plaid and the Ford Mustang Mach-E. It also features a gas-powered Audi Q5.

The Model S is wearing 21-inch wheels and has an EPA-estimated range of 348 miles. The Mustang Mach-E is the California Route 1 Edition, which can travel 305 miles on a single charge, according to the EPA. Brownlee says the Q5 can travel about 462 miles on a full tank of gas.
