This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente Yo what's up we are now at the airport In Oslo and we're gonna do it guys we Have Lotus Electra here so this is a Drive event you see there are more and More uh Me I don't know what you call them Influences journalists arriving Fortunately uh for me I will get the car Alone so you know let me just quickly Tell you guys a typical drill is that They're a bit press events you many Times you arrive at some hotel or at the Airport and like over here you see you Have lots of press cars ready I'm not Sure where these guys come from but Since I live here I requested a custom I Don't want to follow the regular route Usually there's a like a route with some Twisty roads and maybe some City driving And fortunately Lotus they told me I Could just do whatever I like as long as I get over to the well hotel in around Four hours ish so it's like yes thank You so we will just do our own thing I Will go to Nielsen I will drive on the Motorway we do some tests and then we Also try to do some charging tests Because this car supposedly takes 350 Kilowatt I'm not sure if I'll be able to Go that deep but we'll see because the Dry coefficient is only 0.26 so let me
Show you now We have lots of lotus electricians this Is the one I'm gonna borrow is s yeah The other guy is supposedly they will Have to share cars with other guys but Big thumbs up to Lotus for providing me A car for me alone so I think Lotus they Understand the importance of me Reviewing the car in the way I do it so Yeah this is real carbon fiber guys We're gonna look at this more in another Video I think we need to focus on the Driving today we have charge port here On the left side with the rights under The right side with the wrong side So that's nice and then look look This is the four-seater you can also get In the five seat the four seat I cannot Fold the seats but it's more like the Executive seats Oh yeah man and just look just look at The kef speakers we don't be utmost so There's just the level of detailer just Like we saw on the pre-production this Is actually serial production car so Show here in the back Yeah they changed this one which is good Because it was freaking heavy on the on The Prototype this one seems to be more Lighter and and more like it should be In most cars and then also let me show You another thing Of course we have Soft clothes so the S1 includes lots of
Equipment this will probably be the the Best seller in Norway it's all-wheel Drive 112 kilowatt hour that's for the All of the other cars also the engineers Told me that this has 109 kilowatt hour Net capacity it has humongous rims P0 No yolk 315 35 22 inches holy macaroni And in the front 275 40 22. you see They don't play around there and then Inside voila So the price here the starting price in Norway is 1.35 million Nook so it's kind Of like a competitive fat e-tron but I would say We'll see I guess but this looks really Really impressive man nothing like I've Ever seen like you know eqs go home BMV Go home Oh flip leather steering wheel camera Mirrors And you can just do this to adjust the Camera mirror and then you do this And then you're just the other side Huh okay let's get over let's get on the Road so I need to do lots of tests here Um we have 93 battery And we have a trip meter here this is The stuff I need to know for estimating Capacity and consumption and everything They claim it's a it's supposed to be Efficient so we'll see about that yeah Let me see oh let me check something I Can of course adjust the yeah I can
Adjust the seat belt here you can see There We can see it yeah okay anyway I need to Reset some stuff and then get on the Road Okay we're now leaving the airport area And uh yeah my first impression of this Car you know it's they call it SUV right Some kind of sports SUV Expo I don't Know is it crossover SUV But I saw some stuff under the hood this Car has wait I mean Oh it's quick This is only the S voice and the r words And that's 900 horsepower don't remember The figures with this one but of course Overdrive that's what people care about Also for Norwegians Um the all the versions they control 2 250 kilograms Sound level seems okay for freaking Humongous rims and also fat rims so But also you know this car has a 48 volt System plus a 12 volt system I saw it Under the hood and I can show you maybe In another video uh and the reason for It is that the 48 volt system controls The suspension they call it the van Stabilization that was the German guy Yeah a guy named Peter I talked to him But it's like wagons double like it Stabilizes the car so I think if we go Sideways it will be okay yeah we're Going to test it on more on twisty roads
But it the crazy thing is that the 12 Volt and the 48 volt system is equipped With super capacitors also he said they Are roughly 60 amp hour uh something so You see that's only around seven like Less than 100 watt hour or or I don't Know for the 48 volt system but it's It's just to power it for Maybe 10 minutes in an emergency in case The 12 volt or the 48 volt system is not There or operational but also For the stabilization you know like if You if you have fast movements you know Like this okay I just changed like Without the blinking like a BMV driver But You need to be able to the motors need a Current instant and that's what the Super capacitor can do it can deliver in Matter of milliseconds So that was like wow they have super Capacitors here but okay it's not high Capacity but it's just for delivering Fast current so now we just have to head North towards myosin and then we'll Start doing some tests but I have to Pass through some slow stretches first Because there is some bow Stella Wow look at this Tesla style driving visualization here So this car is equipped with lighter They are not been enabled yet and also This car is supposed to have a level Three autonomous driving but oh this is
Pretty cool and you have a tiny screen Here uh for some information All right let's check the weight of the Car first Front axle oh 1360 right Oh 2 700 okay Well it's 112 kilowatt hour and some Soundproofing And we are getting close to strong Nature and oh yeah you know when I was Driving here at night doing range tests They closed one lane oh it's actually Two lanes and it was slow traffic but in The daytime of course they couldn't do That because of traffic this is good Because it means that I can do my high Speed test here except for that oh There's some traffic but listen this is The fresh asphalt laid down just a Couple of days ago Horses Somewhat rough asphalt and you can Almost not hear the difference In cars with poor soundproofing you hear Big differences like night and day So all right um yeah you see here I'm Going to go back to ayonnet and then Start my 120 test And then turn around here Yeah wow okay I like it man I like the Way the car rides and also the sound Proofing despite having fat tires okay So here by the way is the place I Normally Turn Around from from
Doll to hear Yeah let me see now how will this car Handling the roundabouts if it has some Kind of Chastity control what do they Call it again Stabilization in Deutsche Okay wow it huh you see it It does air suspension and I think That's that's the thing that the air Suspension is supposed to mitigate uh Sway Oh yeah P0 Oh wow it has this nice pull past 100 Kilometers per hour this thing is a Beast some cars they kind of lose oomph Past hundred kilometers per hour this Thing just almost feels like it goes Faster it has more and more power the Faster you go power overwhelming Oh now we get stuck behind the Region left hand on this club All right we're back at around the doll Now so I will write down this first Segment this is from the airport I will Add yeah the trip here is a little bit Clump so this one seems to be self Automatically reset for charging Actually can we use this one Uh I'm not sure but I'm gonna use uh This one let me see here we have how Much did it drive okay now I'll just use This one based on 93 we started with and We tried to estimate net capacity but Okay so let me reset and then we try 120
Tests All right we're on the move and today we Don't have too much wind I can't see me Ocean from here but okay yeah we're on The new fresh asphalt and then let me See yeah outside is 23 degrees So here we see Tesla style driving Visualization interesting way huh From Tesla did they copy because the car Claims well it was 50. now it's 100 okay Um but we do have an instrument cluster It looks like this so we see we have Some information about the region level Speed speed limits some kind of driving Information here some range numbers Battery and percentage I like that and Also we have now tour driving mode so Yeah but we also have um see we have a Small screen over here So you see we have Spotify support and When you're playing music it shows up Over here huh that's neat man money cars Uh they tend to have some kind of screen For the passenger here but it's not Utilized for anything but here you can Actually use it for something useful Nice and then okay I have to have the HVAC on 25 degrees Celsius it's acting Like a Chinese car it's been tuned for a Lot if you have it in 21 it's going to Be freezing cold in here And then how are the camera mirrors Working in the tunnel Um
Well they seem okay Yeah see on this side here Yeah it's okay even though I prefer Conventional mirrors not these ones All right result from the 120 test uh 276 watt over kilometer I guess that's not too bad Um but I have to also check for distance Error here okay let's do the 90 test Then We are on the way back now so that way It won't happen yeah the car likes to Beep at you And he has had the head of this play but Okay so that was a short Loop because I Had to prioritize going a little bit Faster and try to bring down the battery Before I do the joining test and also it Just happened to be on a Friday Afternoon so yeah I had to take an Account maybe some ladder style also I Want the doll but so far the consumption Is 218 watt upper glamor what the heck Man yeah uh Albert speed okay it's 88 Yeah that's good so um yeah let's see How you see here you can also oh man Because the press and buttons over here To open the charge port or stuff open The trunk yeah so uh very nice not it's Kind of weird we have to be in the Charger screen in order to see the trip Meter you can set charge limit here also This dry battery management thing here Is only after you park the car you can
Then I don't know what it's supposed to Do cool down the battery maybe use some Extra energy to cool down the battery But in order to preheat you have to Navigate to a fast charge and they will It will automatically do that for you as I talk to some of the looters Engineers Before we went on this trip now All right 216 watt upper Glover not too Bad okay so now we're down to 47 we need To hammer it down to at least 10 percent Right now we're just heading north we Just have to drive down the battery and One thing I like about this navigation Is that when you pan or something it Stays there it doesn't auto zoom Something like that but It has a satellite map and the satellite Map man for this location is really Weird because seems like they just Happen to have some kind of Cloudy you Don't see meals in here but if you Switch over to default then you will see Mjerson so all right so I navigated to Ionite so that it will preheat for fast Charging so I'm not sure what it will do But yeah so right now we are down to 35 So hopefully we have enough juice so we Can preheat I have no idea how long it Preheats until what percent and all that I need to find out more talk to the the Engineers tonight but okay try a little Bit more North and then head back to Ionity that's the plan
Okay let's test the sound system we have Kef speakers and Dolby Atmos it better Be good right okay I only have one song On the player because I forgot the USB Stick at home foreign To this I've been testing the sound System and it sounds incredible it's Right on top with booty Master Harman Kardon Bowers and Wilkins and the top Tier the high end Maybe this song or this this playback Device it might not be the best I've Tested it on on the Spotify Where it was really nice and clear here I feel like there might be a little bit Of losses maybe in the encoding But okay But I can tell you that the base is nice And Punchy and it goes really deep you Could almost feel the rumbling it's Under the deepest tones But you see I don't know I tried to ask Them where are the subwoofer They said there's a little bit some here Some in the back there but I feel like It's not like the loose loose undefined Base it's deep but Punchy at the same Time but it also has the clearness in The mid and high tones Uh this the music is just simply amazing To listen to it's such a pleasure I was Like wow I was blown away where how well This sound system is and also we are Driving on same asphalt not going at 90
Kilometers per hour but because we have Some good soundproofing you can actually Enjoy the music you know When I was sitting here listening to Music for a while um I was trying to Figure out whether this is better than Than Mercedes eqs and the booty Master That's how good I get I I mean how good The impression of this sound system is Man it is awesome I can try to play it For you Get an impression via the microphone Here [Music] Okay well anyway the test is almost done Let's focus on the consumption and the Charging soon also And then here we have a handle for dry Mode if you press this one you can Switch between dry modes range mode loop Change it like this then it shows range Over there it changes some Characteristics in tour mode you can Change ride height and then you put it In sport I can feel like the the side Balls are gonna see if they are Tightening up oh And then individual yeah so uh yeah just Use two more for now yeah now I feel Like the the side bolt says they loosen Up a bit And then also let me see uh how is this Again if you go to this one And then
Uh yeah okay here so if you go here and Then you can just do it like this and Then you press it then you get some Options and if you press this one you Will then have the opportunity to change Um this the spoiler position So it's set to Auto now and it's in the Huh I can see it in it's in the up but You can see it it's a little bit up yeah I don't think you can change it now it Says that want to drive faster than 30 Kilometers per hour it's automatic but It will just adjust it according to what It needs so I bet if you put it in the Sport mode it will make sure you have Enough downforce so you know what they Say uh there are some some set of rules What kind of cars do you not want to Race well you don't want to raise Something that says performance you Don't want to raise something that says GTR or something right but also another Rule is that never try to raise Something with adaptive spoiler We are heading back now and you see the Sun is above us but against our face a Little bit and then I noticed that we Have freaking Reflections we have glossy Surface here So depends on which angle you're driving But the many many times right now at Least the stuff will reflect in my face There is yeah I mean there's some places You can you can wrap like this part here
But then some of the buttons are a Little bit too shiny you can't do Anything about that so that's a slight Bummer you better not live in a place With a lot of sun All right we're done with the test so This one was actually the segment with The 90 test also so I will do my math And figure out how big the battery is We're down to three percent hopefully we Have hot enough battery I mean it's 24 Degrees outside so you shouldn't cold Get too much right let's see if we can Get 350 kilowatt Hour per hour Why we're plugged in now so let's see I Set up the camera here to record the Joining session and oh it's taking 250 Kilowatt it's so hard to see the Screen Let me see her too yeah It's taking 253 kilowatt right now not 350. Maybe because the battery is not in Optimal temperature but this is still Really good I tried to go as deep as Possible So hopefully it builds up the heat so we Get uh I don't know if you see 350 or Not but wow so seven wow 711 volt even At low state of charge you see how high It goes once it uh at highest of the Charge but 255 yeah so it's building up Something here okay let's see inside the
Car what it looks like okay inside here We only see kilometers per hour charging Speed and we see percentage not kilowatt And here we can set charge limit yeah uh We'll see maybe I'll go 100 oh okay we See volt dungeon arms here so based on This you could if you're a ninja you Could calculate how many kilowatts would Take wait wait wait how many kilowatt is This let me check outside now maybe it's Ramping up Oh 300. I don't know why I'm so excited To see this because This is the first time I tried the car a Charger car that can hit 300 kilowatts Wow oh it seems like it's heat you got The battery it's trying to get out of The coal Gates 300 kilowatt right now oh yeah Okay we maintain a little bit over 300 Kilowatt I think it take a 307 kilowatt Until around a little bit over 30 Percent and now it dropped So now we're down to 240 it's still Quite decent Yeah voltage is also going up So fairly nice the flat joining curve Oh oh what the heck happened here just a Minute ago it was taking 250 kilowatt I Almost can't see the screen look now It's charging at 44 kilowatts what the Heck Wait is it called rapid dating huh are You serious
It's charging at 44. let me look here Look here suddenly the speed plummeted Okay no okay it had a little uh a Korean Siesta oh now it goes up again okay that Was a really short one we were talking About 30 seconds dip but I also turned Off HVAC so that any cooling we diverted Towards the battery not into the cabin Okay let me show you now so now we're Back on this oh look at what the heck Man that is just insane try to swim in The show you look look at that even at 62 percent we are taking 230 kilowatt I think we have a winner here yes 800 Volt for the week wait speakers I need to test between supercharger but Then I'll be I will have two high stereo Charge Okay let's see um yeah Okay okay if we click here Enter the spoiler What the heck this animation oh yeah Look at the back look Hey focus focus the Oh yeah Oh Man Nice nice indeed Okay we're gonna test this we are now at Morton Street Camp power 150 kilowatt But 400 volt architecture how fast will We charge unfortunately we have 85 Percent Let's check out here I know that the
Charging voltage at ionity is supposed To be uh oh oh I don't know if you see What I see Uh at the 800 volt we're supposed to get Around 810 volts in the pack or at least Charging voltage here is 450. I don't Know can you see that Oh you know what I think this it works Similar to um similar as the the Korean Cars the egmp platform like Kia ev6 and Ionic five I suspect that it's using the Drivetrain to convert 400 volt into 800 Volt and it is requesting 448 volts just like the etmp cars But okay it goes kind of slow that's a Different story but oh sorry with taikan Taikan seems to use that voltage doubler So if we work like taikan then we'll be Getting or we'll be requesting around 410 405 volts Wait what okay but I think we tested Enough now I have to return the car so Um I will ask the engineers about how This works Okay so based on this test now we went From 93 to three percent uh deep enough But not 100 accurate but I estimated 104.3 kilowatt hour net capacity that's Pretty good and then uh based on the Range okay this car I estimate also on Days Are Over report wait under volt Distance by 1.2 percent uh not accurate Enough but close enough and then based On all this you see that we get a decent
Range so you know it is what it is right Some kind of performance SUV with fat Tires so based on that yes the Consumption numbers are actually uh Would say outstanding versus double Tesla but as some kind of CME Performance car with fat tires and Somewhat boxy shape yeah that is pretty Good so yeah but man I love the car it's Like I started driving it it was the Instant love for this car the way it Rides the soundproofing the the stereo System Uh the sporty ride uh just the the Steering wheel the interior You know yes the German car Manufacturers like Mercedes Audi and BMV They should be worried because this car Okay it's expensive similar to those Cars but it's also really really good so Yeah when it comes to charging you will Have to look at that in a separate video There will be more details but I'm going To compare it with again some other Batteries also for example maybe eqs Battery kind of makes sense right or fat E-tron battery something in around 110 120 kilowatt hour range so yeah I think That's going to be it for now I hope you Guys enjoy this video as always thank You for watching and talk to you later
Electric Vehicles Powering the Electric City
Tesla
Ford
GM Power Manufacturing
The introduction of new EV models across different segments of the market is driving demand for electric vehicles. In the US, Ford launched its new EV model lineup, VW introduced the ID series and Stellantis launched smaller EV-only models in China. In addition, EVs are more affordable to operate than traditional vehicles because they have lower maintenance and repair costs. This is especially true for refueling, which can be as low as $1 per fill-up when using clean electricity from a recharging station, or even free when charging at work or at home.
EVs run on electric motors powered by rechargeable batteries, freeing them from dependence on fossil fuels. They can be charged at home, at work, or when you’re at the grocery store and are often less expensive to operate than conventional cars and trucks.
Earthjustice is working to expand access to charging infrastructure. This includes a commitment from Con Edison to install 120 Level 2 ports at parking spaces and garages throughout the five boroughs, and expansion of NYC’s city-operated fast charger network. Additionally, Earthjustice is partnering with a number of community organizations—including GreenLatinos, Hip Hop Caucus, Clean Energy for America, Sierra Club, and National Religious Partnership for the Environment—to host events in communities to educate their members and supporters about how easy, economical, and amazing it is to drive electric.
We’re also working with the City of Eugene to support their EV Strategy. The EV Strategy compliments the City’s Climate Action Plan 2.0 by outlining a set of actions needed to assist in reaching Eugene’s community-wide climate recovery goals.
