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 getting ready for Yet another 1000 kilometer challenge This one is slightly special versus many Other ones because this is a Neo el7 and It can battery swap and we're going to Do the regular route via Sweden but then On the way there we will budget swap Twice in World bike this time it's not Full winter so the battery shouldn't Hold it we shouldn't get blocked radar But it's going to rain cats and dogs at Least a little bit past Volbeat so yeah We'll see how that goes by the way it Doesn't matter too much this car is not That much affected by it since we can Battery shop and it goes really fast So yes we are now topping up on Camp Power to 100 and this is a fairly big Car let me just show you here It has lots of space So it could take 30 banana boxes bigger Than Tesla Model X even so it's a Spacious SUV Charging wow look at this we're at 99 We're taking 18 kilowatt huh yeah Charging like a boss So yeah the plan is to drive to speculum Wait Clemson huh really okay we'll see We'll see he claims that we okay it Doesn't tell me how many percent I have But the range here is expressed in the
Vltp it's a fixed rate so you can see That 100 will be a little bit over 510 Kilometers so that means this one is Roughly at 40 roughly higher it Estimates that we arrive at four percent I don't think so we'll see by the time We reach backyard uh but I don't think We can go all the way to ride bike so It's going to be a quite painful run Because once we are at wire back I will Just batter stop and then get the heck Out of there because we have to do this As fast as possible not as comfortable As possible so yeah it will supposedly Finish charging in two minutes I think We will start we usually start at the Round number so I'll probably start at 9 55 yes On the clumsy part with this car is that It doesn't have a regular trip meter That you can reset we have the the Kilowatt hour consumption since we start Driving the car uh and also when it Comes to distance this one I cannot Reset it even if I have my own Tesla Beyond user so uh you see if I do this Access not authorized Yeah it's kind of fun in a Chinese car You're not allowed to do that Okay so what we need to do is that we Have to look at this one 1000 and the Four and then we should uh at one Thousand and like 2084 but we also have To correct for
Um distance error so I'll find out how Much they did but it's going to be 2080 Something by the time we hit 1000 Kilometer so yeah the car is about to Finish now in one minute yeah okay let's Get ready All right we're on the Move now so um Yeah we are roughly two hours away from Uh the the ion the charger but I have Actually chosen to start manual battery Warm up because last time uh it it seems To not heat up enough Yeah and there's also this car I see That it might have something like a Three kilowatt battery heater on there Will be deactivated what the heck man Oh there's this kid talking to me Yeah so we'll see that in two hours will We Colgate or not Uh we are now passing by moss and we've Been driving for only half an hour and Now suddenly I cannot use ACC Also there were some Falls in some some Systems ACC system what the heck man There's there's a little bit of wet snow What's the temperature two degrees Celsius outside And the system oh oh yeah it works it Works yeah yeah It's raining heavily please take over no I don't want to take over you drive for Me know me [Music]
Thank you We are now at the cam power chargers in Youngstiela we have to stop here I Arrive here with three percent the Consumption was freaking high but that's A result of headwind and wet roads so Yes now we are here at the camp power Charters and oh yeah it says 150 Kilowatt oh So um you can see here you just get Inside the car I don't know why it does This all the time see now it refuses to Open and I have to manually click it to Open it but if you approach it the first Time it will open it okay See here I put the kid here as NuMe okay this is Also what happens every time every time I enter the car I have to switch to Tesla Bjorn And then it's logging in lagging logging Loading China OS it needs to switch Language yeah now we switched language And then before I drive every time I Have to go here Wait for the loading loading China OS Okay go to driving Someone Driving Maybe There okay finally Oh oh no now it's not disabled I mean Now it's disabled but usually it will be Like this I'd like to disable these two
And then I have to scroll down here and Then this one will always be on but We'll see once we get back to the car After uh we have gone to the gas station And stuff but then look here oh yeah 122 Kilowatt oh oh yeah so it actually helps To preheat the battery for two hours Before you arrive that Pro tip from Tesla Beyond yeah so now we are charging And now I have to go to um uh okay I Want to show you now if we go to market There is actually a new swap station at A new one but I could not simply get There and you're wondering why am I Charging here because I have to charge It there is no other option I could have Gone to vespi but that is way recipe was On the Norway side after driving for Just a half an hour it is way too early To stop at raspy and the problem is that The whole swap including driving there D2 or whatever it will take around 10 Minutes so it is actually better just Get right here 630 kilometers away Okay We have to charge enough now so my point Is that we could swap at Kung valve but Just taking the detour according to Google is a six minute detour and then The swap itself takes seven minutes plus The initiation before and all that so we Have to count 15 minutes Of extra to do that one so that's why I
Figured out that the best deal is Actually the charge here and also in a More real world situation normal people They will probably stop here and charge Them and then they go to one like yeah So uh well that's a car tell me uh how Many or how many kilo kilometers I will Arriving no it doesn't Okay usually when It doesn't tell me how many kilometers I've arrived it it means that I will Barely make it there yeah but actually You guys remember previously when we Were in Oslo first it claimed that I Will arrive with 40 percent At speculum and we couldn't even make it This because the estimation is really Bad but I think we have enough juice Now 51 I've done my own calculation and Figured that we probably need to spend Around 50 of the battery Um and then here we see that this is Kind of confusing Um It seems like we the vehicle limit has Been I I don't understand how everything Here works but it seems like we've been Charging for around 26 minutes so I Think this is the best deal yeah okay Anyway let's go Uh we are back on the road now and Look at this traffic man So the problem is that this is the first Of May it's a public holiday people and It's a Monday so people had some long
Extended weekend and they are now Traveling back home so we have way more Traffic than usual normally if I would Even if I would do this in the daytime On a Saturday there would be way less Traffic than this so um Yeah I asked the live stream whether we Should the dog for traffic or not it was Mixed answer some people say yes some People said nine So um but it doesn't matter because me As a dictator I will decide and I have Decided to deduct for traffic that's the Most Fair way to do it [Music] [Music] [Music] Thank you Foreign I did my math and I've worked out that We have lost 15 minutes because of Traffic Yeah including this stuff So yeah we're gonna deduct 15 minutes we Got traffic it was some style and lots Of left lane Huggers and then I heard The kid I mean no me told me that there Is one guy in front of me in the swap Station so okay let's check it out then All right we are now actually in a Tesla Model S s long range Palladium and I've Been doing a night run and I measure That the time from specular to Weinberg Is not one hour at night without traffic
And no and without any interruptions It's supposed to take 55 minutes so all The times you will see in the in the Video in the et5 video is actually Slightly incorrect yeah I don't have to Correct for it so yeah and now we went Back to the future and now we're just Going to go back to the et5 video again There's actually a car uh in front of me So I have to deduct this one 1339 When We arrive here right Okay that was three minute three minute Three minute wait time all right Tap to start wait a minute I have to I Have to place myself in the Square first Right Wait how do I how do I stop it Start okay please park your vehicle Please press the brake pedal yeah I'm Too fast for you kid now you can tap we Are parking now be aware of your Surroundings do not open any door or Take over the steering wheel you can Press the brake panel to control the Speed That kid man look at that there's an et7 Charging on the new charges nice okay so The thing is that now I will not exit The car so we started at 42 42 is the Answer I want to see how long does the Actual swap take Before we roll out again so we will see We will see This thing is doing it automatically
Wait what do you need another tournament Really huh why couldn't it do it in the First So we start at 42 all right let's see And I'm down to eight percent battery And we should get 90 by the time we get The new one oh okay there we go Oh yeah Now and I can also I forgot to tell you Guys in case you don't know I cannot Exit the car while we are doing this Otherwise the swap will fail So I have to hold my pee Vehicle parked Uh well come on I have to wait for these People there was a five minute cool this May take some time Please wait Yes kid Oh it's just a swap is about to start It's just this one this time the vehicle May shake and make noise this is normal Do not open any door shift gears or Press the brake pedal So this one is actually on man oh nice Because usually there will be this woman Over here and there is a little bit of Delay because once the car is ready she Will have to walk over in there and then Do some and press some buttons but Now I guess there is no delay okay on The control here if we look maybe I can Look on this one maybe This is again for you guys who haven't
Seen it before uh Focus come on Focus There You can show you parts of that process See the robot now comes from beneath Yeah and then races the car oh oops Raises the car And then the battery Is about to be taken out And at this point I can show you that HVAC is off so if it was really hot or Really cold you will not get any heating Or Cooling in here you cannot charge Your devices while this is going on Because they purposely turn off the 12 Volt system uh yeah I'm not sure you Maybe it would be great if you can at Least run off the 12 volt system for 5-10 minutes but I guess not but then Also Heating and Cooling cannot run on The front wall system anyway unless you Want to use some seat heaters but okay Let's go back here show you what's going On now So all the bolts bolted out and the Battery okay so now we we are without The high voltage battery Under this part here is where I think Maybe there could be some improvement Because you will see that The the new one doesn't come out Immediately Uh how many minutes are we talking about Okay I can check the counter here but um So as you can see on that one we have 42
On that counter now you will see that it Takes a while Before the new battery comes here or the The new I mean the new and degraded Battery comes here so Yeah uh there is definitely room for Improvement because they claim that this Is a five minute or something I don't Remember I measured seven minutes over In Oregon Uh Uh it could be even faster I guess oh Wait that was quick oh wait a minute Maybe they have improved in something Here with that Yeah this seems to be fast and last time Ancient Chinese secret That was wait that was quicker than last Time Not the robots are bolting in the new Battery Although or rather the swap battery Yeah and then I guess the car will be Lowered soon There Oops whoops sorry I had to look on the Mirror Yeah and then that part is done We have a new battery in here And then we just wait for the assistant To boot up and we have to wait for the Red light LED light to turn green and Then we are off So that was actually quick there was
Only a minute or maybe less than a Minute for for the the old battery to go Out and the new battery to come in I Feel like that was a lot faster than Before and also last time we came here With the 87 there was a lot of just Waiting without anything happening but This time it went way faster way Smoother so all right now we just have To wait For the system to turn on and for the The light to turn green Actually I think I cannot start the car Anyway Even if yeah Because the car is dead right now There's probably some kind of self-test Yeah this part also takes some time Let's say a minute it's probably just Checking it everything is all right so This part could also be speeded up uh I'm assuming uh I mean where's the Bottleneck here is the CPU power not High enough is it just lagging the System is it like handshake you know you Need to ask BMS BMS needs to ask the car Or something and yeah so this yeah you Guys see this in real time it's green This is the thing it's green but this One is still dark so what am I supposed To do Push the brake no nothing happens Um Well I can go now supposedly
But the car is Dead DED Hey come on come on come on we are Losing time here What the heck man Okay it was 42 when we started 48 oh that is fast oh six minutes only But the car is dead Come on hey this No the steering is heavier Wait come on what Well well well I don't know what the heck happened here Man it's still green of course Um but this car simply won't start Are you serious are you serious Um That what the light went off but there Could be other cars trying to get here But weird What the heck is going on here I mean if if I would be a noob driver Who just got this car my first electric Car and I have no idea what's going on And I know what I don't know what the Heck I'm supposed to do I guess we could just stop the car I Mean and lock it And then unlock it and then hopefully it Wakes up
The Growing Popularity of Electric City Vehicles (EVs)
The EV1 was the first major automaker to prove that electric cars could be comfortable, economical and fun to drive. Its lead-acid battery provided only a range of 80 to 100 miles, but EV1 lessees adored its torque and zippy acceleration. The EV1 also helped spark interest in green driving, with many of its early owners becoming “green advocates” by recharging their car from their home solar system (reducing net energy consumption).
Since then, automakers have introduced a growing array of electric vehicles, including plug-in hybrids and fully-electric models. In addition, manufacturers have increased production capacity and battery capacities, lowering prices while raising performance. In 2021, EVs made up just 6% of US new car sales, but their popularity is surging.
Ford, for example, has signed a deal with SK On to build lithium-iron-phosphate batteries for its electric vehicles, providing a source of supply that ensures eligibility for the current consumer tax credit. It has also partnered with a Chinese firm to build its own battery plant, in order to obtain the necessary materials more quickly and at lower cost.
Unlike traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, EVs emit no direct emissions when driven on city streets and highways. They are substantially cleaner than their fossil fuel-powered counterparts when powered by the grid, as they do not produce ozone precursors and particulate matter, or greenhouse gases. The electric vehicle is a key tool to helping achieve our climate goals, as transportation accounts for 53% of our local GHG emissions.
