This video was brought to you by AED Ro Planner cow Marcus be storm and B Componente yo what's up we're now in Front of the house and behind here see Maxus mea 9 it's an MPV mini one Whatever you call it and today I'm going To do an extended range test so yeah Maxus at least they don't have a a big Fake Grill like many Chinese car Manufacturer tend to have and this is a An expensive car it cost 750k Nook Around €70,000 so it's like the luxury car from Maxus all right but you guys have seen Mxus before uh they are a little bit Sparse uh so this is probably the most Luxurious mxus I ever seen so yeah we Have actually wireless charging pad we Have nice leather seats we have Bing Bongs we have a screen here still LS Navigation um but the party trick is in The back see here Wait Oh uh we have sliding doors Here wait what what what the heck what's Wrong with the door wait wait wait wait Oh oh we are plugged in oh and the Char Is placed there oh you See uh Volkswagen ID bus Which also has Sling doors has a charge P all the way In the back there so you can actually Charge and open the door you know this One uh I guess maybe the Chinese they Didn't copy hard enough so actually in

Order to open the back door we have to It's it's charging right now so I have To then uh take out the key and Then okay let me see UNL hopefully that Unlocks the chart Port yeah there we go Okay Alex good we have the butt Plug uh because there is no Rubber seal Here okay but at least now we should be Able to Open the okay it wants to close first Okay but you can also do this you can Also use the key fob now and then we can Open this Side Behold the Lounge the business class lounge or Should I say first okay maybe business Class look at this look at this whole The macaron change and the filter all Right we on the mo and uh the first Thing I noticed is that uh the Consumption never goes higher than 299 w Hour kilometer so that doesn't surprise Me because it's a Chinese car after all And Chinese car they tend to do this we Will see that eventually or hopefully The consumption will drop but yeah at Least it's nice and quiet in here okay Okay so far so good just have to get out Of the traffic around Arabu but yeah we have Auto steer so This is interesting uh the Auto St is Activated via the stock just like a Tesla you know you do this you know up

To uh enable it one time to enable uh Cruise control two times to enable auto Stair so yeah AB CC always be Chinese Coping ah the scale is CA kaput no It needs calibration so okay we have to Try the backup scale then at Garden one Instead okay how is M today oh oh it's Hanging oh no win wow Okay so far so Good but man this is really weird Because the rare mirror or whatever it's It's not an optical mirror thing it's Just a camera so uh you're losing that Uh like this point of view you know you Can't see this one you only see this Viewpoint uh but the other problem is That I noticed this it was it was so Weird because normally I would be Watching the road and then I watch the Mirror And okay from the camera's point of view It looks okay no problem but my eyes are Focusing far ahead or I mean it's it's On a far focusing point and then uh on An optical mirror you will also still be Focusing far so no problem but suddenly I was seeing double because my eyes were Focused far and then I had to oh I have To focus close and then I have to focus Far again and then I have to go back to Focus close so It messes up my brain man I have to Calibrate my brain for this every time I

Look at this plus that in an optical Mirror you can actually move your head Around to change the the the point of View you can't do it here so I actually Don't like this at all I think the whole Idea is that yeah when you have lots of People then you can't see there uh But I mean other Vans have ID bus has a Conventional mirror uh Why and also another thing I I point out Is that Let me see if I turn off the super Cruise super Cruise assist one thing is That it is really hard to to have a an Even uh Power uh I mean to to have a Smooth ride because I noticed that when You want a regen CU you look at the par Meter down there the region can actually Go in quite even steps uh let me show That you want to have wait it's a Bit over uh okay it's a bit over Expos But if if you want to have a minus 5% Power or minus 10% power no Problem um me show again you see you Want to have you can we can find tune The region power but it's the output That is the problem so um let me try to Uh get a feel here you see okay if I Have around 0% power uh okay if I go From region and they I have almost no Power but every time you go from no Power or region to to some power it Seems like the minimum power is uh Initially around 20% so let me show

Again here let go a little bit faster I'm slow poking here okay So if I drop my speed a bit okay here Here okay okay now we regening all right But look look look look look if I gently Press the accelerator now I get this Dunk and then oh I can feel it it seems Like around 15% power is minimum uh why Uh so this creates uneven Driving Experience I'm trying to fine tune Really I'm just having some fine Movement with my feet but I simply Cannot have a smooth ride and you might Be thinking yeah but why do you need to Adjust your pedal up and down anyway Well because the road goes in curves There's some bumps there's some ups and Downs so sometimes you need to Accelerate slightly and sometimes you Need to decelerate slightly okay let's Test this sound [Music] System it sounds nice and clear there is Some meat base here that's [Music] Good also some nice detail I feel like There's some stereo perspective Here uh kickoff by even traveler doesn't Work on this car okay that's a bummer Was weird because it's just way File okay here we have a guy with a Bright [Music] Voice are

You cuz I don't want to waste your time I'm Not and lose it f will be all right am I um I feel like the treble is a bit Over sharpen uh somewhat unpleasant to Listen to uh but still okay the detail Level seems to be fairly good but there Also lack some Base okay this song I'm going to listen To um rattling in the Doors also doesn't seem to be that easy To skip or to to skip through the song Here uh Okay yeah rattling coming from that Side [Music] Good last song now we will listen more To the base this one the song has quite Deep base but it seems like this car Cannot reproduce That Base I turn off loudness by the way Because loudness is just uh tuning up The system a little bit but I want Everything to be as flat as possible no Effect no EQ everything is flat but I Can hear on this song here you can Listen to Yourself [Music] I'm Still um it lacks the base it lacks the Punch in the base it lacks deepness in The base something maybe beneath 100 100 HZ seems to be almost

Non-existent so um yeah um if I would Rate the System I think I would give it only a Five uh I'm not convinced man it lacks So much stuff here for for such an Expensive car I expect the sound system To be you know good better than this but Listen again it lacks [Music] Base and also another thing and last Thing I'll check is that um what about Distortion what about uh clipping okay [Music] [Music] Listen okay it doesn't play that loud There might be slight Distortion some Clipping but not that bad as I heard in Some other systems but uh also there Could be Distortion from recording but Yeah um no no I mean there there are Other cars out there that cost less than This but has way better sound system you Know for example Tesla Model 3 for Example you know even the model 3 SR Plus so but also other car other brands Also so Yeah oh I notice another problem uh First of all the maximum cruising speed Here is 120 km per hour uh if you want To use cruise control uh Auto stair but Yeah even cruise control is limited to 120 only and then GPS speed is around 118 km power but look here so this is After all Psych just like mg when I

Decrease the speed you will see that Um the power goes to zero but it doesn't Go below zero this means that it's using Friction brake to slow down the Car Uh that is not Good it should use regen instead okay Talk okay Wow the leaves are turning yellow now Summer is over winter is coming brace Yourself for cold Gate High Consumption and Cars getting stuck in The snow fossil cars of course electric Cars they kick out for the Lord wow nice Weather though get a glimpse of uh some Summer before uh winter comes I mean we Are already in the second half of uh September So yeah okay I'm going to drive now over To turn on point and then stop at D That's going to be um a 230 km Loop We'll also check for distance Error all right we're going to do a Distance check so according to Google It's supposed to be uh 230 km right Around yeah maybe not exactly here but a Little bit past this Bridge okay yeah roughly here I will Measure it down there okay so 230 it's 226 six okay so this car is Under Reporting distance a little bit the only Problem now is that the consumption is Too freaking High man I don't know if This is 299 wat hour per kilometer or

305 right now but it should be right Around there so just have to drive slow A little bit now towards the end so we Get some numbers we can Use oh and this car doesn't have any Navigation you can use apple carplay but It doesn't support Android auto it Suppos Q D Link Which I tried and it didn't work uh and Also the car doesn't show me how many Percent I have left just shows me Kilometers uh but when we're charting we Can see Percent uh so I just have to guess how Far we can drive now before we have to Stop okay me see front Axle 1,320 kg oh okay it's Front Field should Be front heavy so this car can't be too Heavy wait what does it say 2680 oh okay well it's still a heavy Beast okay but wait wait it should be Not it should be slightly more front Heavy but it isn't oh this is a bit Unfortunate okay let me dve the car down To zero or I mean close to zero I don't Want to run another juice with this Thing and then here in the energy screen You see that we are now in the pure Electric dry mode no wait pure Electric oh pure electric dry mod oh Okay Okay no but I show that if we slow down A bit and region then it be in region

Power we be in region power recovery Mode uh yeah or back here again okay Cruise then pure electric Drive okay Okay okay okay there's some stuff here You can change but no battery percentage On this screen Either wait wait a minute uh uh now that I'm cruising dog slow then suddenly this Average power consumption goes down like A rock it's not supposed to drop this Fast after driving so far yeah look at That look at that okay um I'm pretty Sure that that is not based on the past 240 km it's probably a a very confusing Rolling average which is quite common on Chinese cars I tested so many Chinese Cars so I know how they behave and how They Misbehave man it requires a faking ninja To test these Chinese cars man we are Now at a uh we get some warnings low Range low power battery whatever uh it Means that the test now it's almost Useless because I cannot trust this dude Don't block the Thing here man okay but I cannot Look at this one normally in most normal Cars this one is based on the trip Meters you can take that and multiply That to get the kilowatt hour because Most cars they won't show you how many Kilowatt hour used except for Tesla and Neo uh so I cannot use this trip to Determine kilowatt hour in the battery

Uh more bugs first I tried that stall if It fail handshake I tried this one Several times it fails handshake uh you See it becomes red and not only that but Um I saw briefly 10% on the car's Display I mean on the Charger display But I'm not sure but at least here the Car now says 15% battery left okay I'm I Just keep failing on handshake here you Know I'm a ninja I'm supposed to know How to start uh Charging okay I have to give up uh I it Just kept failing on handshake now we Are at nebz and at the hyper charger This is 800 volt charger I'm going to Check something How many kilowatt can we get on 800 volt Charger this is the Chinese bug I was Talking about let me see uh 12% battery Okay and you look on the car screen if We are outside it looks like this I mean We're not sitting in the car you see That it shows you how many amps and Volts this is also very common for Chinese cars they don't show you Kilowatt they just because they assume That you are some you're some uh Asian That knows math and you can just Calculate based on what volts and amps We're now at the supercharger getting uh 267 okay whatever man I give up on that Screen okay we getting oh look at that 117 kilowatt hour per hour well is this Car doesn't show you horsepower

Hour okay anyway yeah so it seems like Uh at least B2 works it should uh soon Ramp up to 200 yeah no no sorry 119 KW Just like uh the other one uh the the Hypercharger okay now I need to test it On V3 to see if that works okay You' Seen those pictures where uh an Audi Tailgates you and you see how close it Is well you want to see how close Tesla Is when they tailgate you what the heck Man okay that's that's what they look Like we are the the freaking mirrorless Stuff here yeah I mean the Tesla is Parked behind us at the Supercharger and uh yeah we are charging Now okay I give up this display man okay See can I see anything there no no huh No h okay look here look here this Instead we have to wait for it to update So it works at V3 so that's good we Checked now uh I think in 1,000 K Challenge I have to then uh um charge Only on uh okay whatever but I have to Avoid ionity it seems like it's hand Handshake fails on I only but at least Supercharger V1 V2 V3 V4 whatever and And also uh uh other chargers it should Work uh I just noticed it says charging Is Ongoing no it's ongoing in one word it's Not charging it's on and going no man There's so many lost in translations Here uh but at least now we're getting 122 KW it picked 123 earlier so seems

Like it's jing a little bit faster than Spec even ah look at that even at 37% Yeah Okay but I think I have enough now I Actually have to go home and then I'll Finish the range test some other day

Benefits of Electric City Vehicles (EVs)

EVs get the most miles per charge when they operate in all-electric mode. Tesla’s Taycan, for example, has a 246-mile EPA-rated range in its base and GTS models. And the company’s Model 3 has a 310-mile figure.

But even short trips benefit from the lower operating costs of EVs. The cars cost less to operate than traditional gas-powered vehicles because they’re essentially plugged into the power grid when in use. Plus, they don’t produce emissions at the point of use.

Most EVs can be fueled at home using the same plug that powers your laundry dryer or electric oven (called Level 1 charging). But if you’re planning to take long road trips, consider a car with more range. And if you live in a condo or apartment, find out whether your building has access to a charging station.

EVs also have another benefit: They can help balance peak demand on the energy grid. That’s because some cars can be programmed to store energy from the grid when it’s available, then return it during peak times. This technology, known as vehicle-to-grid, is currently being developed by a number of utility companies. They’re hoping EVs can help reduce the need to build new power plants and improve reliability by taking the load off fossil fuels during periods of high energy demand. Some experts believe it could even save consumers money. But that depends on how the technology is implemented. In the meantime, drivers can help by plugging in their EVs during off-peak hours.
