This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente Yo what's up we're now in front of the House and behind me here you see Frankenstein well it's a leaf you know The leaf I bought yes when we change Some interior we replace some modules in The battery pack so this is perfect name And Frankenstein we we just Stitch stuff Together to make it rise again but in This video we're going to test how far Can we drive this Leaf it's 2013 leaves 10 years old and it has some significant Degradation so I want to see what Happens if you drive it how far can we Drive and also what happens if we drive It until it's all empty so yeah it uses Taiwan fortunately I have a type 2 to Type 1 cable here I also ordered a Cowboy adapter which is a type 2 to type One I'll show you that later but this is Strange I charge it to 100 earlier today and now It's night so I can go check here but Yeah interesting So earlier he's going to just go in dark Mode Earlier This night or this afternoon rather it Charged the 14.5 kilowatt hour Supposedly And then over six hours or so
You've lost one kilowatt 8.1 kilowatt Hour And now when I plug in we are charging Again it was taking 2.9 kilowatt And now it takes about one kilowatt so Is that uh vampire drain or another Self-discharge I guess so because this car once you Turn it off it is off it's not like Tesla where it communicates with the Mothership and so on so Okay but okay so 14.5 kilowatt hour I think if you drive with a heater off During summer we might be able to drive Almost 100 kilometers or I'm not sure But at least when the heater is off Right now you see The car claims we can do 105. so yeah we Need to test that yeah just wait a Little bit more until the car stops Charging and then we go for it okay But this is why I call him Frankenstein Because one of the module or two cells Have been replaced in the battery and With initially we had the bright Interior but then it mixed with some Dark interior here but you see the Center console is still bright the back The belts are still white the seats are Black the seat bucket things are bright Yeah and we even replace this one the Way we changed some of the stuff today So these buttons here they are still the Old one but then the airbag and the
Steering wheel is from the new one so Yeah now we just wait a little bit more Than Can we get 14.6 kilowatt hour well I'm Not sure This makes no sense at all We are charging at one kilowatt You can see the The counter goes up But then remaining drops hmm The heck man Oh we finished charging and it dropped To 14.2 kilowatt hour Okay so I reset everything here I can Reset again yeah I just uh like this Okay we have some distance stuff here And then here we just reset this one Also counter yes Okay and now we start driving 102 Kilometers of range right we have nine Bars left here And then what I can show instead of Health if you sweep switch over to uh Which Tower is good here this one a Little bit smaller it claims that state Of health is 68. Damn why is it so red Huh Okay I'm not sure oh oh wait wait the Voltage between well this is the new the Cells we replace I think Bumped into something here no no no I wonder if this is the the new cells Okay whatever I'm not sure what this
Means but 47 in the millivolt Delta Is kind of high isn't it at fully Charged battery Yeah okay whatever this is what you have To deal with when you have an old car oh Let's go back to this green here okay Okay let's go Well we're on the move so um yeah I'm Cruising at 97 on the speedo Which is Barely nine the GPS speed what the heck Man What 89 90 No wonder why they leave people are Driving so slow Okay but I need to show you something Here if you look um maybe where's again Uh the consumption here consumption is Shown in kilowatt hour per kilometer and It's highly inaccurate it shows 0.2 it Could be 150 watt hour programmer it Could be 170 who knows man but okay but Lives by reports uh what hour consumes So we will use the reported distance Here and we will calculate the Consumption and we will also try to Check uh according to Google the Distance we drive so Okay if you have roughly 14 kilowatt Hour let's say yeah I will drive a Little while and then turn around before It's too late so we can get back to Ikea Because I want to run out of juice near IKEA I feel like for this car it's safer
Than going to cleavage and since we're Doing at night and Ikea is closed now so Um yeah let's see right now I have HVAC Off so remember guys that no fans is Better than only fans We're getting close to cleavage now or Clifton and we have done 25 kilometers Going to treatment and then if you look Here we have supposedly 9.8 kilowatt Hour left and we are spent 4.2 kilowatt Hour So I think I will drive until we have Spent around six kilowatt hour and then I will head back So Um yeah I'm not sure if if I don't turn Around here then the next turnaround Point might be too far away Um okay yeah because if you don't exit There we have to go all the way to yes Him So um Maybe I'll turn here I'll figure out Something Okay yeah just to be safe since this is A leaf 10 euro Leaf we exit here and Then we head over there towards Kong Swing oh someone is joining at the camp Power charges what's that what's that Ionic five yo what's up you're doing Some conversion there because that's 400 Volt well they could upgrade it to eight On the walls eventually okay let me head Over here and this is actually the
Stretch I normally would run out the Juice if it was nice the weather I would Normally do this in daytime but I don't Feel like doing it at night but at least Over here it's safer to do the I mean to Drive a distance because there is an Eight kilometer Loop you can drive here So We've seen a 4.5 kilowatt hour consumed Well we're heading back home now or at Least towards the city again and based On the kilowatt hour here versus the Reported distance like calculated we Have 167 watt hour per kilometer well Not too bad we still have heater off It's getting a little bit cold outside We have 13 degrees So um yeah now gum says we have 18 Kilometers of range left uh really 18 kilometers but we have 5.2 kilowatt Hour I think there is a yeah there must Be some zero buffer here so this is what We want to explore but um we are 24 Kilometers away from home so right now It looks like 23 Now 23 versus 18. Right now it looks like we might not be Able to make it but fortunately we have A little bit of downhill and especially With a small battery like in the leaf With some degradation then Appeals and downhill affects their Consumption and the battery capacity Quite a lot Oh yeah we're coasting now in neutral oh
Come on I never seen Frankenstein go so Schnell before Oh oh we're losing speed hey Man I feel like the the drivetrain Efficiency might be low on this car oh Okay we have to re-engage uh cruise Control again Put the gun drive and then Okay All right we have consumed 10.3 kilowatt Hour and 3.5 how what is numbers are Should we have a low battery warning 10 Kilometers of range left battery level Is low already after just 62 kilometers Of driving Are we gonna get back home now We are 13 kilometers away from home and We had 10 kilometers of range left oh oh Oh oh It's doing the Asian thing which is to Stop displaying range when it's too low But lives by tells me and I have still 1.9 kilowatt hour and 14 left so I just Had six kilometers of range left here in This plane then suddenly went down to Just dash dash dash uh okay maybe I'll Drive a little bit around here on the Motorway but I should leave the motorway Soon So so far we've done 75 kilometers wow Impressive wait no wait where it's Gone again Simply Amazing Okay now we are at ulven and I checked
The distance on Google versus The Distance on the display and it's Supposed to be 77 kilometers I'm going To Google and 77 now so I think we're Going to say that this car despite being 10 years old it does measure the Distance correctly Okay Um what I have to do now I have 1.7 Kilowatt hour left Let's keep driving We are now near IKEA and um we reached a Point where there is no bar left here of Juice and it's just blinking And then we are down to supposedly 9.9 Percent that are charged and 1.5 Kilowatt hour left Okay so at this stage I will drive Around here a little bit it's also good That it's late it's um yeah 137 at night Oh it's a bit bright and Where I can adjust that yeah there's a Button here That's better okay so we just drive Around here a little bit these roads and Then we enter Ikea Okay let me show you something this is Low beam High beam what the heck is this Huh I need to go to build component and then Slap Downs on laser Elite left bar oh It's going to get linear laser Elite 18 Okay yeah it would suck so much power
That the batteries Okay okay well actually it only consumes Around 120 watt extra oh okay let's turn around And then drive around some more here we Are still not done we're down to 1.2 oh Wait you know I remember I heard uh Ancient myth that according to leave spy It will not shut down at zero it will Shut down at around half kilowatt hour Left Oh you drive a little bit more and then We better get inside of Ikea And get dizzy All right so now we're driving circles Around Ikea this is a final run we are Down to 7.4 supposedly and one kilowatt Hour left and see how we spend 13.3 Kilowatt hour oh okay Yeah I need to know how many kilowatt Hour we can get out of the battery Before it dies and then here we see that Fortunately we have a fairly hot battery So um in case you need to drive far with The leaf you don't want to have too cold Battery but you can just uh fast charge It a little bit then build up heat and Then since there is no thermal Management here no active cooling then You will keep the heat in the battery For a while And that's good if in case you want to Go deep you don't want to have too cold Battery
So right now we're just driving Circle Yeah you guys are dizzy right you can Imagine how dizzy I am because I have to Do this a lot before the battery dies You get a little glimpse of what kind of Pain I have to go through Getting dizzy yeah okay we can go the Other way around eventually to Counteract the dizziness Yeah this video was brought to you by Ikea wait wait What's up Why do you think these guys enter now at Night it's it's almost two at night She man Are they gonna drive around here also or The are they going to practice driving I don't want them to be in my way when I Run out of juice Okay Say oh 0.9 okay okay yeah I need to see When the battery dies Yeah I think I haven't uh run on the juice With a leaf before I did it with audio but that's you know A more evolved Leaf it's a fat leaf Finally we get turtle mode Motor power is limited At 2.1 percent and it's been camping at Half kilowatt hour now it's 0.4 wow we Actually pulled 14.2 kilowatt hours so Far so this kilowatt hour here drops Really really slow towards the end
Which is good so it seems like the BMS Is learning about the deepness Okay so let me test here how how How slow is the car now oh oh Okay this is slow man uh let me see if We try to look here we can see on Leaf Spy also I'm trying to get the readout Let me okay it's kind of small but let's Uh line up for uh for the runway here Okay let me see Uh how many kilowatt are we getting here Well the update's a bit slow 10 kilowatt Okay so we have roughly 10 kilowatt Power limit but not speed limit well Tell kilowatt for a fairly light car Like this means that it's still quite Drivable yeah I would assume you can Cruise at least 50 maybe even 60 Kilometers per hour on the flat well Let's say 50 yeah Okay let's keep driving more Until yeah it's almost zero percent I Want to see what happens at zero percent Whoa whoa whoa whoa suddenly without Warning The car went into the neutral I have no power I don't know power that would that came Quite sudden okay so we have one percent Left And then 0.3 kilowatt hour Yeah that's when it dies okay Oh it's a position here okay oh I like This button
Roll it Oh yes we go positive Oh wait wait wait maybe even further can We go oh the steering just became really Hard I think it cut the high power button That's it Yeah Frankenstein is dead d.e.d we Managed to go 93.6 kilometers Simply amazing look at this 14.4 kilowatt hour Wow really really good I need to Calculate some stuff here consumption And then yeah what the heck do we do now We are stranded here at Ikea two at Night jaisa Oh look at this the 12 volt is being Discharged it seems like it's pulling 12.6 amps but if I turn off some lights And then turn off some stuff here yeah Then it drops Okay so we don't want to discharge the Travel too long here you see we have to Be careful in case you run out of the Juice I'm going to check something here Fire up this one let me check Now this one also reports 12 volt yeah So now with this orange well be careful Try to get Char or try to at least shut Down the car because then you're not Destroying 12 volt yeah and then wait For uh help Okay now you see the voltage runs up a Little bit now because the load is lower
Uh this is the resting voltage of the uh Consuming bit All right and as usual in the trunk I Present to you ecoflow Delta Max two Kilowatt hour battery and another two Kilowatt hour slave battery so you have Four kilowatt hour here we can use to Here to Charge up the car we have some safety Equipment in here Let's get a cracking Okay before we set up our stuff we have To make the clickbaity thumbnail so I Just have to you know the thumbnail on This video is the most important thing So I have to just act like oh How did I run out of the juice certainly Huh Okay all right let's um get cracking All right everything has been set up now So uh yeah since this is type 1 then I Can't use my regular cable charging Cables you have to use the one that Nissan provides so um we can see here That the slave batteries output in one Point almost 1.2 kilowatt and then the Mouse unit received at 1.2 and then Combines with its own power and then Outputs 2. wow 2280 oh That seems like what a 10 amp and then Okay let's see what does it look like in Leaf spy then So out of those 3.2 kilowatt We get huh that's it
We get um About 1.8 kilowatt into the battery Which means there is a whopping 400 watts of charging low okay there's a Little bit of auxiliary pull in here so Not sure how much charging loss we have But I think this shook or charging is Quite inefficient the way yeah I wonder How many people charge the leaves with Shuku you should at least try some type 2 uh seems like there's some overhead Maybe let's say if 100 200 watt goes Into I don't know just the brain being active And like that which means that if You can almost double the current then You can minimize the losses greatly Well okay so now we're joining uh just One there if we charge for just a couple Of minutes can we then drive 10 meters over to the charging station Over there Hmm We've been charged with 16 and a half Minutes now and we have 4.4 percent And supposedly receive 560 watt hour So maybe we should disconnect and see if We can move now You can see See the battery icon if it's gone Wait wait no no it's still there Oh oh oh wait wait You cannot put the Corn Drive
You can put it in the pocket Gee come on come on Frankenstein come Back come back don't leave me Foreign
Electric City Vehicles – Why Efficiency Matters
The first spec that shoppers fix on when considering an electric car or SUV is the EPA-rated range, which can tell them whether the vehicle fits their driving needs and habits, as well as local public charging availability and climate extremes. But there’s another metric that’s just as important to consider, and that is the efficiency of an EV, which measures how many miles it can drive on a single charge of electricity from the grid. That’s because the cost of fueling an EV can be more or less than the cost of filling up a conventional gasoline vehicle, depending on where you live, your electricity rates and the prices of gasoline.
Honda has long been working to make its popular brands of cars and trucks more electrified, with hybrids that date back to the original EV Plus hatchback over 20 years ago, and its CR-V hybrid and Accord plug-in models. But now it’s aiming for the big prize with its first battery electric pickup truck, scheduled to arrive in 2022, and plans for an even larger SUV.
GM’s new 2023 Lucid Air luxury sedan is an example of the growing competition in this segment, with a huge battery that delivers impressive performance and efficiency. It can hit 60 mph in 2.6 seconds and sail on for an estimated 516 miles, based on EPA testing.
