This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente Oh man that was much needed oh Not to self never eat currywurst before A 1 000 kilometer challenge So you know it's funny Because uh people they are so impressed When they see me drive 1 000 kilometer Challenge with a leaf like oh I can do 1 000 kilometer drive with almost 20 hours No problem and then I eat one coat it Was like yeah [Laughter] All right let's go so the bus is waiting For me we just have to deduct how many Minutes we spend here So here we have some developer or tool No logging right yeah and then this is An outside ambient temperature yeah so The dark green one is the outside Temperature so we started in the morning At around 30 degree and during this how Much was it 13 13 okay yeah and during The day it increased up to 25 26 degrees The second scale is missing because uh We now squeeze the window a little bit Yeah and as you can see here the air Conditioning started working oh Um not the first run we actually run Without it yes the very first one we ran Bothered and then here it was only the Battery Cooling and then we kept it on For some time and here the warmer it got
The more it was active and running and Here you can see the last charging stop Where we had the charging current for a Long time also the AC was working very Hard but now the AC start dropping Because the temperature drops and you See the sun is low so we need less Cooling you see it's between 1 700 watts And uh 2 300 watt pressure okay so an average Of maybe two kilowatt electric we pull To cool the battery and the compartment Here but also the window has been tinted A little bit yes and it has a infrared Right or a very protective some Filterings inside yeah yeah so uh to Save energy and also make it comfortable For the people inside so actually for The for the most part today yeah I had The sun on the side here sometimes but It wasn't it didn't feel that hot okay I Have this one to help it a little bit But it's mostly the the heat reflector But this all of this is custom so there Was a there was a guy in the live stream They asked me hey can you do a Our boss is a review but it's it almost Doesn't make any sense because every bus Is Custom Custom you can put whatever You want in here by the way here you see The the green ambient light you can also Get the RGB if you want to uh Michael You mentioned that some customers wanted Like the the Airbus style yeah so the
RGB was was changing all the time when The doors were open the time change when The sunset came up and so on so uh yeah It's fully customizable So I just prepared another chart okay This is the speed profile today oh so It's as you can see top speed 100.99 for Something in the Raw data and the zero And you see the the driving runs the Charging stops where we had zero uh this Was a traffic jam where we had to slow Down This was your toilet break and so you Can see everything in the data yeah This is it we are now at roughly the 11 Hour mark and this is the last starting Stop so now we're gonna swap drivers the The the first driver he he actually Stayed he drove four laps and now he he Has to swap because so he is out of Driving time legally so all right so We're going to swap drivers now Michael Will take over the last one he will do The finish and then I can show you here That um I estimate that we draw extra Distance this time and estimated we will Write with 25 percent if we did arrive With 25 spot on so now we're getting 283 Kilowatt we have to ride on the 283 Kilowatt wave oh yeah So uh my stomach feels okay now But I will go to the restroom and I have Roughly a 20 maybe 20 30 minute charting Stop now so I can do my stuff okay all
Right and then let's get ready I have to Put some camera stuff in here oh yeah And then you see he has to get ready Also as a driver yes input there is Actually a computer here This one counts everything And shows the resting time versus Driving time so it's and it's super Advanced it reads the canvas data so It's impossible So okay Also we need to drive around 180 more Kilometers and we found now found out That if we you know we are here we're Going to drive south one more time and Then we head north but then we go past This one and then right before the star Let's start that would be 999 points and Then we have to drive a little bit extra So this is a convenient charge so I Already calculated how many percent we Need let me show you guys over here so Uh remember that we we need to have the 20 margin so I calculate we need to Spend 52 which means that if we charge To 72 we have enough but then we have to Add another 15 to reach over to the Deadpool so if you go for around 90 or 88 then that's fine so I just have to Document once we hit 72 or 75 roughly But yeah whatever 72 75 then we count The extra time and then we deduct for it So it is the convenient charge And also you see this time around you
See that let me see there's so hard to See numbers but you see now we've been Charging for 26 minutes without any Interruption earlier today we had so Many bugs out and stuff so this is more Normal so this is why we deduct the Problems we had earlier because normally It would be like this I actually don't Know why it bugs so many times earlier So yeah 26 minutes All right we hit 90 we will count when We actually leave but it's going to be Roughly now yeah But look at this I just want to show you Guys even at 90 we're taking 222 Kilowatts Oh well okay good to go This is it the final run so I have Calculated everything here let me run Through the numbers see here we have the The four legs now we have the fifth leg Running Um And we have to drive we have done so far Until the ion the charger so the trip Made the ones the trip meter hits 172.2 That is 1 000 kilometer exactly So because I'll show that in the Odometer The odometer does not have the decimals Odometer is over there Yeah but then the this this lack since Charging has decimals we just have to Look for this one yeah 173.2 and we're
Gonna we go at 99 kilometers per student So now the so now Michael has the has the the honor of Doing the final run Yeah all right let's go for it We have to set a good time now for Electric bus for the first time So now we will just head south and then Turn around and then head north again And then I bought this This friend like having some Doritos and Then we have some Iced tea I'm not sure if this is good For the stomach but whatever I felt like It Oh we are getting close with 1000 Kilometers but I feel like I need to go To the restroom one more time it's Getting better but still yeah so Fortunately in Germany there are lots of Resting areas so we already checked a Little one Four kilometers there will be a resting Area so we stopped there and then we Just deduct how many minutes Was it the color boost or was it Something else We will never know Oh the resting area is blocked okay we Have to go for the next option but it's Not urgent yet Okay so we will stop here at the mission Dorf there was some uh yeah yeah toilet Behind my nose Okay this will do it so
Now we have to count we are now in the In the uh slow yeah so 21 or six okay Okay I'll go in here I'm not sure but They said behind McDonald's Um let's find it I think it's about so He's going to find the best parking all Right and then we just count from uh Yeah 2106. Oh that was much needed uh stop yeah for Toilet so yeah I'm glad we found this One so yes let's uh get back on the bus And then we just count How many minutes we spend yeah we had to Count exactly when we go back on the Road Uh we hit the style now so this is the Reason why I wanted to go to the Restroom because if you get stuck in Style and you have to go to the toilet I'm not sure if I want to sit by the Road here but okay so we hit the stop at 150 kilometer and then there's at 21 23. So we calculate based on all that Seems to be okay-ish Oh one lane oh Four on one Okay four lanes turned into one lane but This is not unfal it's just a roadworks Repair or something Okay But we are still slow we had to wait Until we uh yeah until until we can Cruise at 100 again then I'll do a Calculation and but they I'm surprised
That they start so early but I think They have to start early because they Know that this is going to take a while Through the night Well let's do the countdown it's a bit Late but anyway I think it's 999 Three four or something I'm not sure Which one 99 six no wait 99 a no wait I'm totally confused now 996 this is 996 Yeah 996 997 yeah Come on One thousand time 2143 which means 13 Hours and 15 minutes Whoa Yeah the clap yeah That was the first time for an electric Bus Okay let's recap we just have to get Over to the pool first Okay now we have the green light on We turn off the white light because it Was uh reflected a little bit in the Windscreen So yeah looks nice yeah nice night Collar this one unfortunately does not Have the adjustable color it's always Green Bonus material we're going to visit Giga Berlin wow it's freaking huge it's like A big airport Whoa welcome to Mecca Hallelujah Elon Musk Damn is huge Plenty of charges
We have some superchargers here an Endless destination charges okay over There we have the battery factories huge It's quite tall also it is going to be The Europe's largest here we have plenty Of uh destination charges Tesla wall Boxes so all the employee employers that Are parked over here Yep wow this is just massive to see the The the magnitude Of people working here making this Machine that machine that builds the Machine Yeah I wonder some of these people are Like If they read the signs the sign is still On the bus Yeah so people like yo what's up cool Wow all these people they are just uh oh They even made some bus stop over here Tesla T4 oh cool because the public Transportation through here is not that Good and not finished yet so they Introduced their own the bus lines they Just make their own yeah of course and They're building a train station here Right yeah so no I have to be careful Okay we're out for a little bit now so I heard that they have 11 000 people working here That's massive And there's lots of people of course Driving Tesla or electric Wow this is so weird to be the fact and
Yeah you know this is just a short side Of the of the factory it just extends Really far and then it's now it's the The shift between uh yeah some people Are leaving and some people are coming So that's why it is a bit busy uh how I'm also a little bit surprised that I Haven't been recognized yet yeah Wow And you see it's still ongoing Construction they haven't finished yet Once they finish they are planning on Employing even more another 13 000 that Would be roughly 25 000 people uh working here it's like a Small Small town in Norway Okay so I'm not sure what I'm supposed To do here uh some people say go to the Gigafactory go to the figure Factory Well it's just a big Factory and then What they're supposed to see here right Okay anyway checkpoint reached And now I guess we go back to the bus The short bus yeah I'm riding the short Bus today Walking around wow This is big okay some of the trees are Blocking it but yeah you can still see Through it wow it's it's so long Think about this they're pumping out 260 000 cars now per year and it's going to Ramp up and eventually it'll be one
Million cars per year plus the battery Factory Oh that was it the end of it and it's Still not finished yet Right so this is a Just Madness to see that all these Trucks are waiting to below that one is Already loaded but all these trucks are Waiting to load well some of them also Loaded With with Teslas and then they load up And then they just roll out Think about all this uh This you have to organize everything You know all the uh the stuff Logistics Behind it Wow I'm starting to realize now Tesla they they get orders online Someone use my referral code yeah their Record is still active by the way and Then they build the cars those are the New color yeah the ultra red whatever is Called again Yeah And then they just roll out every five Minutes look at this oh You see any panel gaps here okay and That's a double stack supercharger uh I Think can we enter it What is the purpose of this really Is it supposed to you can plug in the Car on the truck or yeah I think that's That's the whole idea
What the heck is this thing See Okay so there's a thing here And then You're supposed to Charge your car here yeah or what about On the second level [Laughter] Oh Yeah all the quick silver color oh yeah Wow all right Well it was interesting that we took This trip just to see the magnitude of Uh all the logistics behind it when you Just see the trucks on the road you Don't notice it what the heck is going On but there's there's a pumping out Cars like crazy just from one Factory Here And okay we need to test acceleration Oh Oh it takes about 300 kilometers per Hour Maybe the battery is a bit low down well It's still 10 tons so we got the food 250 kilowatts that was fine okay okay Come on hit the 100 kilometers per hour We need to be faster than uh duchia Spring Come on Okay RPM limitations oh all right Okay and then uh after you selected the Gear on the left hand side you have this Parking brake lift it up this ring
Okay Yeah it's Auto hold so you need to push The the iteration panel slightly at the Beginning And then Oh driving electric bus Oh nice see the orange pylons and then After them oh there's a fox or something Like yeah Fox small one Oh I see oh this is one fox okay yeah All right and at the end you can go left Okay make a white turn okay driving the Model X with a trailer yeah yeah okay so I have to go wide This is so weird It's like like a short roundabout it's Hard to take a wide turn and then but it Should have okay once you is it okay Yeah are you also a driving school Instructor or is it okay okay only uh Teaching the the future driver teaches About Electric Mobility so they hired me For this particular topic Oh I should try try the retarder Oh that's a box again Yeah okay and then oh and then okay we Just left another left okay so we just Take a wide turn yeah and then What it feels quite easy to drive yeah Yeah it is Nimble also and when you Touch the accelerator it goes So let's see if I drive this direction a Little bit just to get a feel I can be a bus driver yes yes Tesla
Bjorn bus TBB The building here okay so we'll do this And then so how how is it turning here Can you uh yeah okay okay so you can Turn into this okay normally we won't Have too much light here but we have Light now because we are filming right Okay Okay that's it and then Neutral All right Achievement unlocked This was the bonus bonus material oh Yeah So now we're going to recap so you see The whole test was to find out how fast This is Um remember that this is a test vehicle With restricted battery capacity if we Had roughly 190 kilowatt hour and we're Supposed to get uh 200 and how much 239 Wasn't it 215 would be the regular one Oh 215 yeah okay so you see uh I Calculated that that would uh in in Terms of kilowatt hour it will take Roughly 10 extra minutes Of extra charging for us yeah because we Could have if we had those extra how Much is that 25 kilowatt hour we could Draw even further not charging and then Since we can then we have to stay above 20 25 if we can go to let's say five Percent we can then ride on the 280 Kilowatt wave longer
And therefore charge faster and not go So much in the 200 slow charging range So Um So I I think actually best case now with The with a like a customer car instead Not a developer car we could probably Make it in roughly 13 hours Sure yeah okay my best guess 15 minutes Faster than today yeah and then we want To see now how fast are we compared to a Faucet car uh faucet bus and then based On on this um uh faucet bus we can't get 100 kilometers per hour average we Didn't have it today uh but we say best Case of roughly 95 kilometers per hour There was some power steady when you Have to cruise at an 80 kilometers per Hour and some stuff and there's some Turnaround also maybe or you know maybe Intersections at least in in some places And then also we count four times off The highway because the fossil bus Doesn't have to charge that often of Refuel that often so but it still needs To do the mandatory uh resting stuff Yeah two stops so a little bit off the Highway so we count that the five five Minutes on each time you exit and enter I'm not sure how long it takes but it Just things takes longer with the bus Versus a passenger car Yeah and then also refueling diesel the Diesel only need to refill one time uh
And it takes roughly 15 minutes Uh you have to you know and then also Pay for it somehow and then the legal Stop the resting stops for the bus uh For the fossil driver they still need to Do two times 45 minutes And this is the deal right You cannot do any work So if you refuel that is work yeah So so which means that the real yeah so Uh so you are just sitting there for 45 Minutes times two And we worked out that a fossil bus Equal size here would need 12 hours and 35 minutes So it's only 25 minutes faster And in percent that's quite low because It's a long drive here Wow and also if we had a better bus Coach bus or something yeah a really Long distance configuration so please Remember this is a city bus which is Designed for Slow distance or low distance Countryside driving or city driving and We did a long long term run with it Today So you know you know what's actually Crazy is that an electric bus like a Coach bus the one with 600 or 1 000 Kilowatt hour Can actually be faster than fossil When you think about how is it possible No no that can't be right you you your
Tesla found your EV Fanboy but think About this uh the fossil driver needs to Take 45 minutes one and a half hour or Mandatory stop and then do a I don't Know if it's fast 10 15 minute refueling But an electric car you then refuel you You charge While you're having your break but then That's the refueling thing so you skip The refueling process yeah So uh this is the best guess okay we Need to prove it one day yeah we will do Yeah so um next time we meet together I Will bring you the long distance coach And then we just make a proof of this Interesting idea you know if we want to Really do it tops Top Gear Style You have to have a race against the Faucet bus yeah but that's gonna cost us Oh Yeah maybe the investors are interested Then we'll do it I can then jump a little bit between the The electric bus and the and the fossil Buses but yeah so at least there was a Long test but it was interesting uh and It's like a proof of concept to see that Uh electric buses they are ready for the Masses I kind of knew this because I've Seen so many electric buses in in Oslo Already but also the even for the long Haul it also works great Yeah Okay but anyway
Um Michael thank you so much for the Challenge today yeah thank you for Coming here and joining me one day And uh I think it's not done so we will See about the response and if you guys a Question you can ask him uh he will Respond there and you can also check out In the description there will be some Links to uh if you want to contact Michael directly or check out the Website or something so yeah and I'm uh I'm not sponsored at any thing I'm just Making money on you guys watching the Video and getting some ad revenue and Then because I'm are generally Interested in this So either way I think that's going to be It for now I hope you guys enjoyed this Video as always thank you for watching And talk to you later Good night
Electric City Vehicles Could Make the Power Grid Greener
EVs aren’t just for commuters: New York startup Wink Motors is rolling out four neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) that can be used to shuttle people around town, avoiding congestion and pollution. Engineered to comply with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration low-speed vehicle regulations, these vehicles can run for up to 40 miles on a single charge and be charged at home in as little as two hours.
Getting around the city in an EV is easy thanks to nippy acceleration and pin-sharp handling. Plus, the absence of vibration and noise makes driving in city traffic less tiring and stressful. And a full charge at one of the many public charging points is often faster than filling up with gas.
In fact, if EVs start flooding the streets in large numbers, they could help make our power grid greener by letting people send their cars’ extra electricity back into it. This “vehicle-to-grid” technology is intriguing to utility executives like Pedro Pizarro, chief executive of Edison International, the company that provides electricity to millions of California residents and businesses.
But there are a few hurdles to clear before this happens. Pizarro says energy and auto companies need to refine the technology, which is still in early stages, so electric car owners can send their cars’ extra power to the grid on demand. They also need to figure out how to spread the demand for that extra power over 24 hours so they don’t all charge their cars when it’s 96 degrees and the system is already stressed.
