This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente [Music] [Music] Foreign GT was fast like a rocket but Um not as much as a spec and you saw That the first two launches were a Little bit slow because I used regular Sport mode but then in the two last one I had to use Sport Plus because actually It's in Sport Plus you unlock the extra Horsepowers you get 585 instead of Around 480 horsepower so but then it Seems like the distraction control it Seems to be semi-off or something or it Seems like the car was struggling to get The power down but that's why it seems Like we don't get 3.5 seconds so that Was the best try already after four Tries Um I'm not sure why we measured that Okay this is a measurement or was it the Actual or the spec but okay so 585 There's still plenty of power and you See it goes like a rocket compared to Well this is et7 yeah so compared to Many other cars um for example it's Faster than the tiger look at this beats Porous yeah it beats I4 huh BMV I4 yeah They go home man so it just goes like a Rocket and there was actually I I tried A little uh on visual launch uh or not

Launch a little uh little uh race Against an e and I4 When I was out on the motorway and it Was pretty much neck the first one I Don't know why I was faster than the I4 And then the second run it seems like The I4 was slowly gaining on me so we Were doing over 100 kilometers per hour Uh barely legal but okay okay but just a Quick test right so uh if he thinks GTA Goes like a rocket that's the point and When it comes to braking though it's not The best let me see what happened oh it Doesn't happen there man deleting The live data here yeah so not the best Breaking performance it's more like in The middle you can see here we have the Bottom here where the winter tires so Um yeah um it was a little bit Surprising because um It was again there's so many cars here I'm blind I'm blind where is that Because we have fairly fat tires but um I'm fairly fat brakes big big fat brakes But somehow not that great braking huh Is it because it's cold outside it's Because the no that these are sticky Tires man Pilot Sport 4S they're quite Sticky so all right and then last one is Noise So when it comes to noise it's it's Right in the middle here you see Actually uh neck or neck with a model y Rebel Drive I still felt like the ev6

Was quite a fairly quiet a very little Wind noise Um and so on but um okay 21 inch wheels But also 40 profiles so yeah actually Interesting the tire when you have 255 40 that is the same profile it's just That the rim is a little bit bigger but The rubber is the same as 20 inch Remember y but okay so ideally maybe you Want to go smaller but then yeah some People ask me can you actually use a Smaller Rim Yeah when I look at The Rim It seems like there is a little bit of Gap so maybe 20 inch should fit 19 I'm Not sure but 20 inch yeah okay maybe It's not maybe it's not the is it if you Use something smaller than 21 inches That's a different story but okay so at Least um yeah I also got the impression That it was fairly nice and quiet Despite having fat tires so there you Guys have it the ev86 GT it goes like a Rocket fairly comfort Pretty good the performance but of Course I didn't try it on the track Because it's a press car in general when You borrow a press car you have to sign The waiver and it depends which brand I Borrowed from but many many car brands Or manufacturers you you say you might Have to sign on that you you are not Allowed to drive it on the track and no Dogs allowed to stay with them and no Eating in the car okay I'm just kidding

Well look at anyway 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

Electric City Vehicles Cars Power

Electric City Vehicles Cars Power

One of the most frequent concerns of electric vehicle haters is that our electricity grids simply won’t be able to cope with a mass switch over to EVs. That’s absolutely absurd, however. First of all, the haters are failing to do their maths. The average UK car covers 7,400 miles per year (that’s a little higher for US cars, thanks to fewer road trips), which means each car uses around 2,114 kWh a year of electricity.

The other major factor is that electric vehicles require significantly less electricity to drive than gasoline or diesel-powered ones. Depending on the model and its charging speed, plugging in an EV can refill a battery to 80% capacity in about 15 minutes.

At the same time, there’s a lot of room for improvement in our current EV infrastructure. In New York, for example, it will take expensive upgrades to existing transmission lines to carry energy from the renewable-powered farms of western New York down to Manhattan’s high demand.

That’s why we’re supporting President Biden’s Infrastructure Act, which adds and expands a host of federal incentives that support EV manufacturing, battery technology, and the construction of residential, commercial, and public charging stations. The bill also helps to ensure that low income and disadvantaged communities are fully included in the development of a national EV charging network. This is a key way that we can help drive EV adoption, and avoid the kinds of problems that California recently faced with its strict zero-emissions auto rules.
