Off the line, the ID.3 Pro hits 100 km/h in 7.35 s versus 12.34 s for the Dolphin Active 70kW. At this point, the ID.3 Pro leads by 4.99 s and sits roughly 37 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the ID.3 Pro is doing 121 km/h against 101 km/h for the Dolphin Active 70kW. The gap is 2.30 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the ID.3 Pro crosses the line in 15.50 s versus 18.84 s. The 3.35 s gap represents roughly 110 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the ID.3 Pro continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 136 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the ID.3 Pro finishes in 29.13 s versus 34.35 s, with a 5.22 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (160 vs 150 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the ID.3 Pro is capped at 160 km/h, the Dolphin Active 70kW at 150 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.82 kg/hp vs 14.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 21.36 seconds. The 4.99 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
