This video was brought to you by AED Ro Planner cow Marcus be storb and B Componente yo what's up we're now Sitting in NE el6 this is the e7's Little brother it's around 4.8 M long But fairly wide and also fairly tall but Not that tall so it's yet another SUV And I'm going to go for a little test Drive so we have this event now we are At newon so fortunately I have a little Bit of limited time and also maybe I Realized that we might not need to drive It 1 hour like I did last time with the E uh e T5 uh touring so I'll just get an Impression of how this car rides because Okay uh what are you uh sacrificing now That you go for the El 6 versus 7 is That this one does not have air Suspension unlike the el7 but it has Some kind of smart or It was told in the presentation it will Adjust several thousand times per second Or something like that right the Suspension so it's some kind of uh Adaptive dampers or I mean or or Suspension and we will get an idea of How it rides so I'll just drive around Here for a little bit get an impression Let see Oh okay it's supposed to be really quick We have to switch mode then I can go Here let me see I'm in Comfort mode Let's go to sport mode Let's see what
Happens then 5.9 second acceleration Sport Plus 4.5 second acceleration okay Now we talking now we're cooking okay Get around Here okay I can't go too fast it's 40 on Here oh it has that nice instant uh jolt Okay I like that okay let's switch back To comfort mode no e mode Comfort there We go so um let me see now how does it Ride over bumps oh okay sorry there's a It's bugging me about uh some speed Limits maybe or I'm not sure um also Yeah there's some navigation but I'm not Going to take that one I just have to Take a a short version uh let me find a Place to turn Around I was also told that when you go Go for El6 versus 7 uh you also get the worse Noise levels or you know yeah So maybe I should test on the ring three But now you okay A little bit of speed Bumps here how does It handle speed bumps H that wasn't too Bad yeah um it seems like okay it's Still feels like an SUV but it's not as Both as maybe some other SUVs I tried so Let me see what about the torning Circle also fairly good yeah oh oh yeah Yeah okay okay okay when you go over Bumps you can feel like okay it's doing A little bit of Bolt thing yeah but not The worst I've seen But as expected and Then what about Comfort but you know I
Have to say the car feels Fairly quiet it goes over the bumps in a Nice way without bouncing too [Music] Much okay you know I should go into the Tunnel maybe Or wait if I get in the ring bro then H Okay let's see cuz I don't want this to Be a too long test drive I can of course Ed out some stuff but uh if I can just Do my test long enough and then go back That be okay you know what let's let Test it the extreme way go into the Tunnel yes that's an e es8 by the way we Saw there let's go in tunnel but there We can hear lots of noise and also we Get a little bit of a uh outside the Tunnel but there's a Ring Road with 70 Km per hour speed limits we have header Display that's good seems like they Didn't try to uh sacrifice them too much Oh interesting you know the the turn Signal here is not the one that has a Physical uh position it will it's like Tesla style um you feel you you pop it Up and then you pop hard it will stay There yeah and then to cons It ah to cons it I actually uh I take it The same direction I turn the signal on Right just like Tesla but then some cars I remember I was complaining about this In the uh Lucid that you have to do the Opposite one because then in this one if You turn left now and then you take it
The opposite way oh it actually cancel Yeah but if you take it too hard it will Suddenly blink right of course Okay so there's a little bit of noise Here is It that's not too Bad I mean even in the tunnel tunnels Are usually quite noisy because there it Echoes the this tire noise from all the Other cars also plus your own car so Usually in tunnels you can really feel The the Noise uh I haven't check the tires what Kind of tires we have Here but okay on the motorway Okay maybe since I don't have a side by Side comparison between um uh es sorry El7 and uh this one then I don't know Exactly how they are but yeah uh now we On fresh as well this on the left lane Was the rough ass and then this is Smooth ass and you can hear that the Smooth ass is quieter yeah you want to What kind of person are you do you like Rough ass or smooth ass I Prefer smooth ass but black okay um Now we go on roundabouts how this Handling roundabouts does it wag a bit Yeah steering by the way in new is Really light maybe you don't like it you Can adjust it to be to have more uh Resistance but I actually like having Light steering like this since I'm just Driving on Mo motorways and cities I
Don't do any truck driving but I guess If you want to do truck driving yes you Can set it to be firmer and we can try By the way if we switch it over to sport No Sport Plus Um does it become heavier no this is Banan by the way so you have also lots Of cool uh adjustment uh the new Software well the steering still feels As light as previously maybe a little Bit heavier okay I haven't checked all The settings but I'm going to switch it Back to Comfort and then we hammer It okay when you're in in Comfort mode When you just floor it like that there Is a slight uh delay artificial delay in The throttling so um yeah yeah actually Now on the rough ass over here I can Hear there is some there is some uh road Noise yeah but it's not bothering me so It's probably in the in the average Because okay mind you that the El7 was really Quiet uh like in the top top tier top Five top 10 something so this one okay Might have less of that but I mean less Soundproofing but it's still Pleasant It's not it's not unpleasantly loud like I experient with some other cars so That's good um handling seems to be okay Okay I okay when I do this I can feel Like it's a bit bold so it's not that Sporty uh but I'm going to check
Something in okay uh if you set this Sport since this one doesn't have um it Doesn't have air suspension you can't Lower the car typically uh yeah in el7 It will lower the car also um I still Feel like it's kind of yeah okay it's SUV you know just it is SUV so if you Want an SUV then you know that you have To it's not a sports car but it's still Comfortable I like the seat I like the Seating position um mirrors also nice uh Overview I'm going to go over here now Go back back back to uh new see if I can Find my way back I didn't follow the Regular route yeah since this is a event They set up a route for you um but Unfortunately I have to go to yes Something uh uh not urgent but Semi-urgent came up and but maybe that's Fine and I you can see by the way that The H there there a numi Halo it's Cheaper than the the head that is Turning around and to be honest I would Prefer this one because the the head the Problem with the head was that you could Hear every time the head was turning you Hear Like so if they could make that motor Dead silent that would be better but on The other hand n me I don't know I don't Know about Z but I I I find it a little Bit creepy but it is actually in a way a Brilliant device because it turns the Head towards you okay I mean it's not a
Human it's not it's not a living Creature but just that it Mimics an animal or a human a robot or a Human right by turning the head towards You gives you that visual feedback that It's listening to you and not someone Else that is quite Awesome yeah So but of course you have to decide Which one you like the most but normally I turn off voice control in every car I Test doesn't just have to be in uh Neo Also other cars also I don't want to say Hey Merced every time I just mention Yeah Mercedes or uh Volkswagen or you Know suddenly the voice command Activates even though I did not trigger The voice command sound uh directly yeah So but that's just me um maybe because I'm then mentioning the brand since I'm Doing video test and live stream but Most most other people they wouldn't be Driving around mentioning Neo right Would they or maybe they do oh know me Know me yeah they have to hey say hey Know me so but yeah that was a quick um Uh Drive um oh yeah I now now I okay There you go okay the whole turn signal Takes a little bit of time to get used To since it seems to not conso when you Want to console or see now it blink out Oh yeah yeah just like it the same Behavior as Tesla when you're blinking Left and then you press hard to Blink
Right it doesn't blink right you Actually have to double tap just like in A model 3 I have to double tap to Blink Right so you I learned that in Tesla the Muscle membr and then it's fine but what Is important is that the steering wheel Is round and the stocks they are there In a fixed Position okay anyway uh so that was a Short test drive unfortunately I have to To uh park the car out and uh go back Home but um yeah I think this was uh Wait okay I I meant to Blink there but Then it just okay um yeah just have to Get used to that now nowadays I'm uh not Used to model 3 Model y but uh that Doesn't take too much uh getting used Let's see here now if I use the 360 Camera Yeah okay so that's nice yeah 360 camera Um supposedly this is one of the first One that we use ligh or also for some For some Auto parking or whatever were Uh if I understood what they said on the On the presentation I like I like it That the car becomes Transparent yeah in the 360 camera very Few cars will do that but that's pretty Cool because then it's easier to spot You how the heck can you do that show Transparent well just some smart Software put the car in park wait let me Check something El there was a 3D here You can
Do oh oh yeah oh oh je it's nice and Smooth Also okay okay put the AP so yeah a Pretty cool car you know Neo as you know It and uh this one doesn't stand out if You have tried Neo before it's Works More or less just like the other news Nice comfortable ride Good Feeling uh Good ride uh I can't wait to test it on A proper long trip so uh yeah I think That's going to be it for now I hope you Guys enjoy this video as always always Thank you for watching and talk to you Later
Electric City Vehicles and the Power Grid
EVs run on electricity, not petroleum fuel. The electricity they use can be generated by burning fossil fuels or renewables such as wind and solar power, and it is stored in a large battery until needed to drive the vehicle.
Electric vehicles require regular maintenance to replace consumables like cabin air filters, wiper blades and tires. Depending on the brand, you may be able to do some of this yourself, but for more complex service there are benefits to choosing an automaker that offers a brick-and-mortar authorized dealer service network or, as is the case with Tesla, has a robust mobile service team.
Tesla Ford GM Power Manufacturing
The big automakers have made significant investments in developing new electric vehicles. Some have developed their own battery technology, while others, such as General Motors (GM), have partnered with established suppliers. Several car makers are working on alternative battery materials to reduce the cost of production, especially for longer range models.
For example, Tesla is experimenting with lithium-iron-phosphate batteries that are much cheaper than the nickel, cobalt and manganese used in most existing EV batteries. Its upcoming Model Y SUV will be the first to employ this new technology.
Another area of concern is how the power grid will handle a surge in demand from electric cars. Imagine a typical urban city at around 6:00 on a weeknight when everyone is arriving home. They’ll turn up the air conditioning, plug in their EVs to charge, and start turning on appliances. All of this will quickly overload the power grid.
