This video was brought to you by Steinberg a better world planner Mr Green Camp power and Marcus Beale Yo what's up we are now in Oslo and Behind me here finally Lucid is here I've been waiting so long for it and It's here so this is the Grand Touring With the biggest party pack 112 kilowatt Hour and I'm going to do just a quick Review now my first impression so yeah I've watched some videos in U.S but this Is going to be like my initial reaction On things I might need a little bit of Help to open some stuff so uh I guess But okay let me see so I will just I Guess we'll start here well actually Let's start outside so um actually this Lucid is shorter and smaller than the Model S what is the length by the way Let's see I get the impression that It seems to happen Shorter overhands than one less and also Okay thank you and yeah so Um they say that it has good space Despite being somewhat small ish right It does not to be too big like an eqs or More or less but still quite big let me See we have some cameras here we'll look At some cameras yeah oh interestingly I Come right there right we have a camera There there's the camera everywhere You see Lucid they know thing or two about the Electric cars and they put the cardboard

On the left side with the right side not The right side with the wrong side However This is quite deep in there is that Going to be any problem with ionity or Some plugs like cam power plugs and also I'm not a fan of having the chalkboard There it should be on one of the corners This could be problematic on some of the Treatment charges with short cables Especially Yeah all right let me see how they close This Okay I haven't figured everything how do You close it by the way Yeah I'm not sure if that works okay Okay and can you can you okay close it Please can you also open the front Please So this car has motorized Frank Yeah it's just I don't know man it just Looks so gangster when you can open the Front with a motor and look here the First thing I was thinking like wait we Can fit a banana box in here Wait there is more How many banana boxes can you fit in Here this front is huge like I have Never seen a sedan have so big Frank Before well this is the way to do it Guys like eqs BMV you know i7 there is No Frank Tesla has a Frank but it's not That big it doesn't been smaller and Smaller because they put in more and

More stuff here but here wow humongous Trunk uh I guess you have to close it From the inside also right or All right uh all right so let's see and Then okay we have cameras over there uh We have let me see I'm just going to poke at stuff this is Probably something somehana Um roof rack right okay yes we have a Roof rack placeholder there look at the Interior Is this real cow leather Okay you see they don't go vegan over Here they actually use it well you also Have vegan oven okay okay okay all right So you can understand this one you have To do that in the screen let me try to Sit in here Okay we have curves oh look at this we Have a round steering wheel and stocks Delicious interesting uh placement on Them things we have the screen here you Could swipe here To open up this one so you have lots of Space in the middle Uh okay interesting we have this kind of I would call it you know the the a Similar to Volvo and stuff you know it's Like text uh textile surface but you can Have this in many different trim levels Okay here we have center console Lots of space More space here Okay it feels quite spacious

Oh you know what When you press these buttons There is this Perfect Resistance And just the sound Oh okay yeah okay but [Music] I Don't Wanna Drive okay um Yeah I'm just saying that The buttons the way they react when you When you do stuff It's uh It actually feels nice it should feel Nice because it's a freaking expensive Car but I did something here okay um I'm not sure what I did I think I Started HVAC so um Okay uh How do you turn off there okay I'll use The no that's that's the speaker okay by The way so um yeah let me see you now if I can adjust my Position a bit forward we then also need To try this one yes you see soft close That is the fastest soft floors I've Ever seen you see do I figure out how to Open it I do every you know what I Haven't watched too many too many uh Lucid videos but somehow I managed to Figure out how to open and close stuff And I guess there is a adjustment for The steering wheel here Or maybe not okay at least that one I Couldn't figure out this one is Interesting

Oh okay so Oh it extends nice And why somebody say how they open this One yeah see I can figure out more stuff How it works I have to say the seats feel nice What about Headroom oh you see we have Glass and unlike many other cars I test With glass roof the side beam kind of Gets in the way here you actually get Decent Headroom here up towards the Glass And in case you are a longer person I Will show you roughly if you are a tall Guy you will usually have it further Back And then how would that be they say okay This is really and then you're long like Morgan long Yeah you almost touch here but Dude I have to say The finish on everything here Is on a different level and okay versus Tesla yeah Versus eqs and even the i7 It looks and feels very nice I have to Say Okay I have to walk through all of This later so yes but um Where's where's the glove box by the way Uh is that is there a glove box oh it's Also done there nowadays there is no Button for globos anymore We have massage there glove box okay so We have red glow box here let me try

Something yeah okay okay it sounds nice So manual air vents to control them like This Um and then okay let me see let me go in The back wait okay like this I want to check out something here so This is the one with the biggest battery Pack uh so in the front I felt like the Seat position was good no plenty of uh Of space there but how is it in the back So this with a big battery Has uh you you filled up kind of this This uh this place here but if you go For the smaller battery this is 112 Kilowatt hour if you go for the smaller 93 kilowatt hour you would then have a Deeper well here so you can and then Because the first thing I noticed when I Saw in this one is that let me try to Show you I didn't bring the tripod I Think you sit something like this I'm Overdoing it a little bit but you can Kind of see it so it would be better Actually if we had just 10 centimeters Deeper well and that is what you get With a smaller battery pack but the seat Position will still be the same Oh okay oh it's not the best but Actually at least you have roughly two Fingers of Headroom there and Yeah the same thing here is that you see Here the beam here is not too wide so You can actually utilize the glass here And also many many cars you have this

Beam kind of you have it right where the The heads are and then your tall people Are kind of bumping into that one this One they actually managed to push it far Enough so you can utilize the glass and Then when it comes to the center console Here see if I can figure it out All right We've got a table and stuff here cup Yeah of course they have thought of Everything Ski opening What is this perfect stuff yes perfect Seat and oh yeah of course I forgot we Have controls here of course let me Check here this is an opening for Putting some of your stuff uh where is The USBC USB a that one I'm kind of Missing we have Evans there events here Adjustable seat belt it seems to tick All the right boxes we have A handle at least in the rear okay we Are missing the the coat hook we have Speakers there Wow Let me see let me see let me do the door Closing sound Okay let me see do we have like an Emergency release doesn't seem like it It seems like this is the only door Handle and you open okay All right but then wait Does this one have some kind of curtain That goes up

I can I see that there is um something There Foreign Okay yeah now I feel like this is like I7 style yeah that's pretty cool you Know it does also have a rear curtain And how do you enable that screen okay You do that on the screen okay so where Can you can you do it for me so I can Show you as I can see oh you actually do It in the back there ah of course you Have the controls for the the executive Seats in the back and then you just Control everything there Oh we have to okay okay so you can show That one and you I can show meanwhile When he's enabling it I'll show you that The back It looks freaking humongous And Let me see Yeah I'm not sure if we can do it but Okay That's a screen with lots of set things Here For some reason it goes off maybe we Have to sit here Yeah we have to sit here there's we have A pressure sensor so you have to sit Here sunshade ah Extend rear sunshade Of course you want to have that sun Block though that is nice okay okay Anyway let's move over to the battery so

The rear here has this Unique opening It is so wide look at this The first thing when I saw this was like I need to test and see with the laser What we're talking about here Can you put the ski here or something Let me see um wait what There Okay Um I need to find out No I don't why is it where's the There Huh Dude we're talking about 1.7 meter width Okay I mean you can't get a ski in there But 1.7 meter is humongous I don't have A baby stroller and stuff with Me So Eventually I'm going to borrow this car And do proper test but I need to test Something here okay we have one little Bit of 103 centimeters there okay what About in the narrowest place here then At least Then we have still 107 106 centimeters Wow okay and then here also you see we Have this opening here And that it actually becomes quite a big Well Interesting opening I wonder how I can Fit baby stroller here because it's uh It's this kind of opening

I will find out eventually but this is The biggest trunk opening thing I ever Seen Okay but the whole car also looks quite Slick and let me check something okay We're gonna close that one Um It actually has two cameras In the bucket wait it has Two bathroom cameras And then here you can fold the seats And how is this again there you just Pull it and you pull this one When you follow the seats well I mean Since we are at it let me also measure Here what kind of length are we talking About here roughly 192 centimeters This one is slightly forward then we get Roughly two meters Oh this is a big car that's for sure let Me close this one Did I did I check the door closing sound Let me do it again on this side because I tend to use the soft clothes but Okay it has that boom so you will just Have to get used to it it's not the Typical Conventional door you you get used to But yeah so um I have to say let me check something Else here We have Rubber seal there Rubber seal There

Oh is this Alcantara or flip leather We have Rubber seal there rubber seed I don't know but we need to test Soundproofing here I bet this car is Quiet just based on my impression if They make something like this this kind Of interior They should make it silent Man I can't wait to test it supposedly I'll be able to test it in a couple of Within some months I think and they're Going to let me borrow it for an Extended time Yeah okay let me see soft close And let me check something else here do We have Um headlight washers nope and Is this a radar or the lidar Lidar plus radar under here somewhere oh Here's the radar of course and Is it also heated Cool and then let me check something I'll say I I actually wiped inside of The showroom but I'm going to check the Wipers yeah seems like the nozzles are On the wiper arm So you know it seems to tick the right Boxes from the region so it's still March here in Norway and you see that we Are at the carluhon So people are walking by her and they Poke it and they look at their car and At least it's not open yet but soon they Will open it for the public and people

Will look at this car and they will Figure they will wonder is this good for Norway well I guess I'll find out I will Give you guys input on how it is so let Me check something else let me see yeah Humongous Wheels 245 35 actually it's Not that great no no this is actually Similar size as Tesla Model S yeah 245 35 21. And then do they have staggered yeah Okay yeah 265. yeah and then by the way If you want to come here and see you Will see the Drive Unit this one the Motor with inverter here it's super Compact there are some figures here And actually they use the same Drive Unit for the front and the rear you can See that the the front and the rear here Has been laid down and in the front they Have actually put it vertical and then Man you guys have to come here and kiss This one it's the Wonder box it does so Many things it's it has onboard charger It has the junction box for DC it has The guys two two-way onboard charger and In Europe you get 22 kilowatt and you Also have a vehicle degree but also Vehicle to vehicle And it also does 50 kilowatt DC Conversion to 800 volt in case you need To charge on 50 kilowatt so everything In this tiny box here Like what the heck and then here we have One of the modules they also use the

Cylindrical cells so also I can show That when I mentioned the the height for The passenger in the back uh this is the Configuration with smaller battery and You'll see that you have a deeper well For your feet so if you're concerned About that in the back then you should Go for the one with a smaller battery You still get massive range so yeah I Haven't tested Lucid yet I will actually Get to experience a short drive now but From what I've seen what I've heard and What I know uh you know the guys behind Lucid is that How they put this Um my guess is that this is going to be A quite awesome car Um eqs and the i7 they have awesome Interior but the dry train on beneath is Might not be the best you know it might Be like messy cold they implemented Something but just just for example eqs Doesn't even have heat pump they are Getting heat pump now but I think based On what I know the lucid It has like awesome efficiency And the way they Implement Hardware here Is just you know on a different level It's actually very close to how similar To how Tesla do it so I think they have Something stuff they hear that stands Out that Tesla doesn't have and then Tesla might have other stuff like Octaval I don't know if this one has

Octal but yeah what I'm saying is that I Can't wait to test this and it's Probably going to be one of the most Efficient cars I've ever test even this Size yeah so anyway Um I think that's it just a short intro And show you guys my first impression And how to say it looks and feels really Nice and it feels well built but we have To test it of course properly and see How it can handle it in Norway with a Charging with everything 1 000 kilometer Challenge but on the boxes I need to do Everything with this car so anyway I Think that's going to be it for now I Hope you guys enjoy this video as always Thank you watching and talk to you later

Tesla Ford GMPOWERING
The electric car revolution has accelerated in recent years, with a new generation of all-electric vehicles hitting the market and companies like Mercedes-Benz and Nissan setting up manufacturing facilities to churn out EVs. But the market still needs more innovation to help electric cars become a truly mainstream option for consumers, and to help cities integrate them into their transportation systems.

Today’s EVs are more than just a smart-city option; they’re also an effective way to fight climate change. This book aims to provide useful insight to policy makers, urban planners, engineering consultancies, scientists, researchers and students about how EVs can best be integrated into a city’s transportation system and how they could contribute towards a low-zero-carbon society.

There are many ways to reduce a car’s carbon footprint, including using fuel-efficient engines, reducing the number of trips and making more efficient use of the power that fuels the engine. But the most effective way to do all of that is by replacing the gas engine with a hybrid electric motor, which provides some of the benefits of an electric car without the range limitations or emissions.

PHEVs are an attractive alternative to fully electric vehicles, with lower maintenance costs and greater flexibility than pure EVs. They also save drivers money by eliminating the need to stop at a gas station when a charge is needed.

In addition to battery-powered electric vehicles, a growing number of traditional gasoline-powered vehicles are being retrofitted with plug-in hybrid engines. This helps to keep their prices affordable while still offering the regenerative braking capability of an electric car.
