This video was brought to you by Steinberg a better world planner Mr Green Camp power and Marcus Beale Yo what's up this is a Neo el7 and in This video I'm going to show you guys The interior but we have to do this in a Slightly shorter version because I had To return this car today and as you Probably see the light conditions are Not ideal so normally I will actually do These shots right before sunset or right After Sunrise ish right in the morning Hours in the shade or if we have cloudy Weather but today it just have to be Like this so uh let me show you the Front by the way So there's not much to see here they Aren't even struts to hold up the hood You just have to put this one here but I Guess for a reason because you're not Supposed to open this often at all even When you need to refill washer fluid Where do you do it This is uh don't please don't fill Washer fluid there I found out It's here right Now Here there there there There's a there's an opening here like This yeah there there you go so you're Supposed to fill washer fluid there but That's really clumsy how do you do it do You do it with the hood open

Or let me look okay wait let me try to Close the hood maybe that's better Okay with the hood closed it looks like This Uh I guess Uh is this an ideal position well we Have low washer fluid let's try to fill Up some Uh can I hit the hole Oh well I guess if you can aim from here Oh okay a little bit spillage Wow this is Clumsy If you don't pay attention you spill Over the hood like this Or men and spilling here You know the older we get the better we Get at aiming right or Okay And the charge port is on the right side With the wrong side shoot them in the Left side with the right side but at Least it's motorized and it doesn't have The butt plug Yeah Do you like that Man This is what it looks like when we have Sun they've got so big contrast between The shade and the sun okay but let me Show you here we have 12 volt Outlet Here that's good We have some hooks here for uh how is This guy wait oh okay wait oh yeah push Push push it says push

Hooks for cargo I think it's easier to Show you on this side you push it like This And then this one comes out And this is maximum five kilograms so It's for uh shopping bags yeah groceries Bags and then here it's supposed to be a Partial Shelf Um yeah you see the holes for it we have Quite sturdy hooks here and here But I still feel like some of the German Cars that have even sturdy hooks so if I Pull really harder if I strap something And push have tension on it I feel like It might break or I'm not sure but okay So but in general when you feel Everything here like this this lid here Feels heavy and sturdy and thick also Under here we have some emergency stuff Like the tow hook and wait huh oh wait So toe hook is here but Really the high visibility jacket is in The trunk Well I guess this is Chinese safety Versus European or German safety in German cars first cars this one will of Course be inside the cabin in the front In the glove box typically not all the Way in the trunk here but actually maybe There's another one no there isn't there Isn't I know there isn't here's a Subwoofer It produces okay sound but um not as Punchy and deep as I would wish it did

So yeah so that's it the trunk area and You can also lower it maybe I should Rise it yeah actually let's lower keep It low here you want to measure when It's low like this and the seats can be Required this is the lemon bar support Yeah lumbar adjustment and you see here You can recline the seat or you can take It off so you can set it upright if you Need more space in the trunk and then You can recline for a better Ride I guess that's pretty nice and then Here also look For ease of fix I I cannot I mean I Don't have time to show it today but you Do it like how was it again yeah okay It's just Velcro Like this and you have the hooks there And there so this is really good and Also it means that if it's not a plastic Box like uh Um the the Swedish cars and the German Cars then you still have nice and soft Side here while getting getting that the Flexibility of those mounting points for Easy fix And look Well okay a little bit more Soft cloth oh there's nothing like a Nice soft cloth in the morning Oh yeah it's very good for the soft Cloth is very good for squeezing but on The boxes in the car Let me measure some stuff here stuff

That usually is not measured in and Shown in the brochure whoa 137 centimeters that is nice and wide Many cars that have roughly 130 Centimeters what about seating height Oh that one is okay around 34 Centimeters Yeah are you still okay there's some of The highest one I measured is 37 Centimeters I think it was uh fat eatron But this one is okay the lower ones they Are just around 30 centimeters so that That then you sit more a breakfast so Yeah so let me show you if I sit here With this recline seat or something Actually plenty of space And now the front seat has been adjusted For myself 173 centimeters and you see I Have so much leg room here is just Incredible how much space I have And we have events there we don't have Any events on the side we can adjust the Belt here that's good we have hooked There this is um I think this is a Microphone yeah for no me yeah I uh you Can see there I disabled numi right now so she's just Wearing the headset I know me Okay yeah so what more hooks they're Nice nice I like this and we have Sunroof we can actually open the sunroof Also but look here in the back You have HVAC control right that is very

Dim and you can also control some seat Heaters Relax What is that Let me feel here Oh Oh oh Is that massage in the back Okay okay It's not that nice and hard massage like In the front seat there is something Similar to the German cars there's some Feels like air cushion but I guess it's Not air conditioning but Yeah just some gentle massage to maybe Take some stress or away when you're Sitting long so yeah so yeah that is Nice Lower waist middle okay Upper waist yeah okay and we have heat But there's no ventilation I think not Many cars has ventilation in the rear Seats and then here you can control the Music but I think yeah okay yeah energy Norway all right and then you can also Control HVAC So that's pretty cool we leave it on Auto And then here we have uh one USBC only What the heck Okay Well I guess uh they don't need too many Devices the Chinese people and then okay Let me show you here

Nice finish The stuff you touch usually Is not okay here this is hard This part could have been rubberized I For example in BMV they have similar Design door design but I remember the Ix3 this inner Sun here was also Rubberized so that so but okay A cool look on the speakers by the way But on the other hand it looks cool but The sound I found it to be not that Great at least for my taste so people Are different maybe here I'm also Missing some some Pockets many many cars I test nowadays they have pockets here For storing stuff not this one okay but Let me check something here Headroom how Is Headroom no I'm in the most recline Position oh like I've seen in many many Cars there is this big thick bar here Probably for structural rigidity that uh Compromises Headroom so practically if You have it laid back like this then you Don't have a fist you have two fingers Three fingers Maybe Of clearance uh okay if I go more Upright what's gonna happen then The thing is that You're now going the most upright Position You still have More or less the same Headroom because You see this beam here this side beam or What they actually call it is quite wide

Unlike for example Tesla I think Tesla One of the few cars where they open up The roof quite a lot so you can actually Utilize the roof space here I guess you Can get you can utilize it but if you're Sitting in the middle seat then we have A fist of clearance oh this part feel oh This glass feels warm which means that It absorbs all the Heat or most of the Heat energy so that when we're sitting Inside here you don't get the burn so That's good And then whoa whoa we have speakers There we actually have speakers here Yeah at least there's not not uh well I Mean there's enough speakers in this System and then let's throw you here This one uh how is this again I should Know yeah you can you can raise this one This one goes up like this uh and then You open it like this Uh we have oh we have a table that's the Other USBC okay that's good so like this Design you see table here You can put something here but Iron cup holders of course a pop-up yeah But you see This is the first time I fiddle around In the back here and you would say oh Bjorn I like your videos but you should Be better prepared well but I'm actually Doing this for the first time and Everything here is intuitive easy to Understand they actually put the Handler

So it's easy to take it down for example Right so I like the design sometimes I Feel like I'm in a German car the way They have designed things we have Perforated seats but they are not Ventilated this one let me talk it back There It has a little bucket but not that much Fairly flat which is I guess good or bad And in the front seat controls yeah Quite standard this one Has a nice touch to it and many German Cars They have the the I don't know what you Call this a seat extender thing right People with long legs they would love to Have this this support but in German Cars it would just extend out here and I Then have the what I call the the Breadcrumb uh collector becomes a gap Here but here it's different So I like this design is there huh Germans watch and learn way watch and Learn yeah But there is no memory button here see We have just controls here so this is a Little bit different I guess you see we Have very few buttons this is the Actually to open the door and we have Controls for Windows here Let me show you if I enter Hey let's do the door closing test What is that squeaking sound Foreign

That would drive me nuts For a car that is relatively new how Much do we have on the odometer let me Check here You go here you go to my el7 you go to Uh consumption 6500 kilometer on the kilometer but I Want to show you that if you go to Position adjustment And here we have a position so if you Just press here Drive you don't need to adjust steering Wheel everything so you can have several Of these five at least Yeah and then for a different person You're gonna have different ones so it's Quite flexible you have a passenger Adjustment here you see and this one Also turns into the queen seat Um a rear premium mode Okay oh yeah Wait huh I forgot this is the Ripper yeah this One goes all the way forward so that you Get the most space in the rear uh BMV i7 Has something similar I'm gonna see this One how far does it go Um okay it's like the poor man's BMV Mode but you still get a ton of Space in the back there but there's also Do they have a preset for it Um You can go the other way you can okay Let me see him uh this might be a little

Bit clumsy you can check this one this One you can recline it right it's going To show you quickly how you do this and Then the foot here that's the cool That's the party trick look here oh yeah Won't take up the other way of course I'm gonna take that that's the Breadcrumb uh collector I'm talking About It's a slightly different design there I Might need to close this one and then we Can take out this also Look at that oh wait wait we need to go Yeah Um we need to then go here Move move backwards it's cool that it Shows on the screen like it shadows out What it's gonna what's gonna happen once You adjust it So you have to go further back you see Here this is I think they call it the Queens uh seat or something so this car Does not have a regular glove box here Because it eats up the space but you Have you I don't know if you see it but The steering or the dashboard goes here And then it actually goes inwards there So you have plenty of space for the Passenger here so that's pretty cool huh Okay and then I guess if I you just do This it will just Do everything back Wait will it also adjust that one No well it's not done adjusting it okay

Wait it did actually not adjust that one So you have to take it up manually the Other way around There you go we'll show you what it Looks like The the footrest or whatever you should Call it so that this feature here is Quite unique for Neo I have not seen any Other car not even luxury cars not even Eqs or BMW i7 they don't have this kind Of luxury stuff like this one has okay Let me show you here We have a tray for wireless charging but Uh is nice I even use yeah no I don't I Even had my phone here for hard Acceleration and it doesn't slide Anywhere uh when you go around curves But it's a little bit small this is Samsung Galaxy S9 plus if you have a Bigger phone it could be hard to fit it In here and then I tend to you do this Because it's not too big but if it's too Big maybe you have to do yeah it Shouldn't still work right but only one Tesla for example they have two I don't Remember what about other cars yeah but Only one tray here and then a cup holes Here in good position we have some mode Buttons here to change the driven Drive Modes Um this is the taxi parking lights and We have intimate cluster here the gear Shifter is here and you know just like I Talked about earlier

If you weren't going to drive you have To push this direction This direction and then when you want to Reverse you push this direction It's actually counterintuitive that you Push there to go back and then you push There to go forward but this could be Something to do with that traditionally Mechanical gearboxes they remember if You have a stick shift you have to go This direction to go first gear and then Second gear and then third gear right And then reverse is here yeah so I Actually don't know why it is layout Like that but people have gotten used to That direction in the car industry but Okay so we have some buttons here for Different this is for a neopilot and Adjusting some stuff and then here is Typically for music and yeah volume and Stuff we have regular stocks this is a Camera you can see the flashing that's The infrared so I think wait there's Some music going on So I think the camera is here and then What you see there is the infrared light So that at night the camera will still Be able to see me and send all the Information to China yeah and here you Can see some cool information here you If you press and hold this button you Can change what you want to see we want To see some radio stuff you want to see The trip meter or you want to see uh

Yeah some other trip meter here So and then I like this one because We're gonna this is also some Chinese Thing that it shows volt and amp and Then remain in power but once you floor It you don't get 650 but I measured over 500 I think it was 520 kilowatt as Maximum once you start pulling power so Yeah we have a head-up display there Uh we have this electronic adjustable Vents you see there is no manual air Vents so you can of course go in here And you can adjust this if you like you See Um Model 3 Style Anyone yeah Okay there's lots of stuff here also I Can show you that if you go to cabin Comfort You have something called pet mode power Keep mode and camping mode Wait a minute where have I seen that Before uh In Tesla this is called Dog mode this is Called keep climate on and this is Called Camp mode in Tesla hmm but okay At least they copied it I wish other car Manufacturers would also copy Tesla and Offer similar features why not why do we Have to be so stubborn right embrace the Future add features that people want This car is just packed with settings or Features you see okay we have some stuff

Here so consumption stuff doors and Windows charge port Um actually to to adjust the steering Wheel you have to go to position Adjustment and then you go to let me see How is this again yeah here you have Seat you have side mirrors you've got The side mirrors start adjustment and Then You you use this side to adjust this Side and then you do you use this side To adjust that side I like this better Than Tesla Tesla you have to use only One control and then you have to you Have to toggle between if you want to Adjust the left or the right side Um and here for steering wheel you have To press here and then start adjustment And then you can use this side to adjust Steering wheel up and down in and out It's it's super clumsy right well yeah But if you are here for example you can Swipe and then you can do steering wheel Adjustment here as a quick quick key you See or you can also have other quick Keys here side mirror adjustment for Example now we can adjust the side Mirrors Or how about manual battery warm-up yeah Now it's active it's heating up the Battery let me see by the way Um If I go it will okay if I turn off HVAC Like this

How many amps is the battery heater Pulling Um oh Okay this is also kind of weird because Here this seems to this shows only when We are driving let's show you here the Power output there You see But when we are stationary It shows zero even if we are pulling Something here but eight that's roughly Three kilowatt yeah so it seems like the Battery heater is three kilowatt That is weak uh a car with 100 kilowatt Hour battery and possibly in the future 150 kilowatt hour battery should have at Least six or even nine kilowatt battery Heater Tesla Uh six the classic ones they have six Kilowatt BMV ix3 IX I4 they have nine Kilowatt battery heater this one only Three all right and then uh if you want To turn off the battery heater just Swipe like this and then turn off see You're gonna turn on and off header Display also Yeah now we disappear because how to Show you but it's also a toggle but it's Not only you see here you can you can Tap here to start massage and then you Can tap again to change the intensity of The massage so this is super brilliant You can customize it and you have a Whole list of other things you can add

Here but I wish they could add more Stuff because there's one thing I'm Missing is Um Cabin light so I try to look to the list I couldn't find common light so for Cabin light I have to go to light and Then open it on this one because this One will turn on not only that but also In the rear so if you're a taxi driver Many taxi drivers when they Park they Turn on all the lights in the cabin Front and rear and then if you don't Have this button then there's no way to Turn on all the rear you only turn this One and this one individually but the Back is still off so this is okay maybe Just nitpicking but yeah and then here We have this light okay nice and stylish This one rotates but it does oh it Extends oh nice on the Tesla And the Korean cars can extend very very Few cars can do this it's super useful If you have low Sun from the side And then here as you can see oh I can Show you again the controls for the Panorama roof and I think while that one Is going you can also open it yeah you See here or you can you can rent it and You oh yeah so also many cars nowadays They don't have this open possibility They can only open the glass part but This one can actually open the whole Thing so that's pretty cool and you can

I guess close them individually also you Don't have to wait for each other so That's pretty cool so you see the whole Car just feels packed and sturdy and Loaded with stuff and uh yeah and also I Should show that the infotainment here Or has so many settings for everything You want really uh you can customize for Your likings you can go to erosion uh Auto default the smart steel will hit in There Ionizer under driving you have all the Different modes you can go ahead to Custom you can customize driving mode How much acceleration you want regen Ride height suspension steering mode Climate control you know you can go to Driver assist here how you want this one Okay one thing I don't like is that you Have to choose when you press this Button here you will either activate Adaptive cruise control if you are here Or you activate Lane centering control Every time you end you use this one I'm not a fan of it because in Tesla You have the stock typical stock like You you tap it once to enter cruise Control and then you double tap it to Enter autopilot and then in other cars For example Mercedes BMV Audi there's Either a stock here or some buttons here And then also typically there you you Press a button to activate the auto Stair or there's another button to

Toggle on off whether you want Auto Stair or adapter or or just adaptive Cruise control So you do it there right and Tesla you Do it here but here in the Neo if you Want to alternate between these two then You have to do it here and also in Neo Once you have LCC your LCC activated Lane Center control activated It tries to lock on so I was driving in The rain yesterday and I wanted to Actually only use Um only use adaptive cruise control Sometimes but then since the LCC was Activated here then if I just stare a Little bit it disengaged Auto stair Temporarily but then it locked in again And then I tried to steer off the center Because the center of the lanes that was Full of water so I kept doing this and Then it stopped I stopped doing it and Then it looked back so what you have to Do you have to go in here and you have To disable it and you have to use this One so it's a little bit clumsy I prefer To have it like the other cars and then Lots and lots of features here no me uh So just show that this car is packed With with lots of features and it's Fairly well organized in the menu Structure here I love it you see uh just Like Tesla just like also a Ford Mark E You have a big screen and you can Organize the information or or the

Settings way better with images and Stuff so this is a very modern way in my Opinion to to have the the user Interface rather than to have those Menus like you have to press a button You have to press an icon and then you Enter a screen and then in that screen You have more icons and and really Clumsy user interface really uh yeah and Also some other cars they they don't Have this nice and big screen they will Have a smaller screen usually have this Size and then in the bottom they will Have physical buttons for HVAC or other Things so uh yeah uh many other cars They they they are once you have used Something like this And then you go to some other cars you Feel like some other cars they are a Little bit old-fashioned that's just my Opinion But since this car doesn't have a glove Box this actually becomes a glove box But in the es8 the big brother this box Here the center console was humongous in The el7 it is smaller it is quite deep Of course but it is smaller so That is a bit bummer because uh many People they will have documents or Important stuff manual and stuff in the Glove box and it's a bit small but fair No more because you also have this Bridge design which I like you see here There's a 12 volt Outlet there

And you have stuff you can put down here And this also oh it has a slippery Surface that's not good stuff is gonna Slide around yeah I experienced that During my test but at least it has a Little edge here to block things from Falling out of it so yeah more and more Cars they have the solution and it works Quite well Oh yeah there goes I'm with the Neo el7 I really like it the way it rides the Comfort level all the features the Layout on things it is really really Good you should really try it and see if It works out for you so I think this car Is not that popular yet in Norway or Europe maybe even but I haven't seen too Many of them so which surprises me Because to me it is a really good car And it's a really strong competitor Against fat e-tron maybe egress but That's a completely different price Range but it's a really good SUV that Has lots of space 30 balloon boxes it's It has even more space and testable legs So guys just if you're interested in SUV Check out this one and see if it works Out for you so that's gonna be it for Now I hope you guys enjoyed this video As always thank you for watching and Talk to you later

Electric City Vehicles Cars Power

Electric City Vehicles (EVs) Save Money in Eugene

EVs are powered by clean electricity (like SJCE’s standard service option GreenSource which is 99% carbon-free) and emit no tailpipe emissions. In Eugene, transportation is the biggest source of GHG emissions – an EV will significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

Purchasing an EV can help you save on maintenance, repair and fuel costs. EVs have fewer moving parts and are less likely to need replacement. In addition, EVs typically do not require engine oil or fuel pump visits, and many EVs use energy-recovering regenerative braking. EVs can also be charged at home, which may further reduce costs.

Ford and GM have already made a big commitment to EVs, and their new ZEV models have impressive single charge ranges – up to 300 miles. They are betting that once compelling EVs are available at prices that can compete with traditional gas-powered vehicles, consumer demand will shift fast.

To improve your EV’s fuel economy, drive at a reasonable speed and avoid idling – this will conserve battery power. Minimize use of air conditioning – the compressor uses a lot of energy, and you should only run it when the car is at a full stop. Lastly, be sure to check the tires regularly to ensure they are properly inflated.

If you do run out of juice, your EV will warn you and slow down to protect the battery. If you are still unable to reach a charging station, most roadside assistance services (including those offered by automakers and insurers) will tow your vehicle home or to a nearby charger if necessary.
