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 preparing for 1 000 kilometer challenge but this is a Weird starting location we are Cornwall I've been here a couple times before but I'm going to do 1 000 kilometer Challenge with audio 87 kilowatt hour E-force so I'm now on a little trip with Wifey and then I will do this night run Let me show by the way we are not Charged on aec this car actually has 22 Kilowatt on board charger look at the Speed 17 kilowatt oh into the battery this is Kind of it works now let me see if I Start the car Fire up everything We will take a slightly different route This time yeah by the way the reason why I use Aces because this car supposedly Limits the DC charging speed if your DC Is too much so that's why I want to Avoid it and we will start by actually AC charging So the plan now is to drive If you look here This car doesn't show you the root thing But if I zoom out here a little bit So you see beyond here With a little bit north of yet and then We will drive all the way to [ __ ] that Would be the turnaround point it's a Little bit over 200 kilometers from
There from here and then we will drive South and then we'll drive the regular Route but we will not turn around there We will actually turn around at ionity Here in Malmo and then we go back again And then we put 99. right around here Somewhere so yeah let's do the little Different twist it will still be a 1000 Kilometer challenge we draw the same Route and that's the whole point we can Do the 1000 kilometer challenge anywhere As long as we have roughly 110 120 Kilometers per hour zones and with a Little bit of City mix in but not Unrestricted zone so yeah now I'm just Waiting the car claims 98 this one Claims 97 uh okay whatever so we just Wait a little bit until we hit 100 and Then we're good right now the speed Dropped to 10 kilowatt hmm Maybe we are close to 100 then or 98 Something okay All right it takes forever to go 100 but Whatever we're gonna start at 22.35 in Two minutes I'll get ready reset Everything and then off we go one Percent or point five percent doesn't Really matter in this one thousand Kilometer challenge Foreign We are now at Sweeney soon I decided to Stop here we have seven percent left Next stop would be drummer start 25 Kilometers from here and I will arrive
There with minus one or two percent Battery I didn't feel like it even Though this car supposedly has whooping Five kilowatt hour below zero buffer but Yeah so I'm gonna show you You know wife and I we tried to run away From mirus by going to uh your table for The weekend and then what do we find Here freaking receptors Okay whatever but wife is not here she's Sleeping Peacefully and quietly but look I got 122 kilowatt briefly for like 30 seconds And then boom 90 kilowatt what the heck Is going on I have not DC fast charge For Two days There should not be any cool down Why is it charging so slow Okay So all right that means that actually You know what it means that we will ride On the 90 kilowatt wave until 85 percent I might as well go for 85 how Far can we drive with 85 we can go I was Thinking about going to specular we Could probably just go straight to Volleyball yeah how about that okay let Me see let me show you how clumsy this Infotainment is It's ancient technology made in Japan Was supposed to be You know modern uh back in the days but Now made in Japan it's like
Old-fashioned here I think it's here I Know it's here see how far usually you Have to swim in so far to find it Be charging no no Okay whatever go there all right Whatever Uh yeah okay whatever what happened to The Uh How do you find options here maybe Map settings rooting preference okay I'm Not sure what the heck happened there But normally when you do this and you Re-calculate uh Whatever whatever we're gonna go there Yeah I'm pretty sure we can make it There where actually can we yeah I think We can Well since we have a lot of time here I Might as well take a little walk uh you See the motorway is right there and that Shell is a nice pit stop because the Charge is quite close the only problem Is that that gas station is closed for The night they only have not Luca so Yeah that means You don't see the sign until I do this And this we'll check it out Man I just check on Google and I can confirm It visually that McDonald's is closed the S2 is just the Unmanned station now Everything is closed welcome to Norway I
Guess I'll head back to the car All right we've been joining for a while And um you know I had the heater on now And I noticed that The heater sucks well I think I Mentioned this before but it needs to be Re-mentioned the heater sucks power from The kilowatt into the battery so you see We're getting only 88 kilowatt if I turn Off heater Suddenly you see 89 kilowatt almost 90 Kilowatt This was Leaf design It was like this you see now and if I Fire up the heater again If a temporarily drop quite a lot Because the heat pump needs to pull a Lot of power Well actually maybe it doesn't do it Then now that that's kind of build up The pressure but yeah uh which means That we lose one kilowatt of potential Charging speed let me go check outside How long they've been charging but yeah 73 now 75 here Oops Yep I think we'll just go from 85 or 90 To remember we'll see I want to go Straight to Wi-Fi Oh it taught luxury before I expected Already that 81 is throttle See now we're down to 40 kilowatt we Better leave we've been charging here For almost 45 minutes oh [ __ ] let's go
We came here with one percent let me Check something here If you look at the charger What the heck is going on I did not preheat this time but I Thought it was hot enough it's charging At 40 kilowatts are you kidding me What the heck is wrong with this car Maybe it was dog slow because we went Quite deep look at this it's charging at 40 kilowatt but Is it cold getting that bad now it can't Be Charge the problem no We can always change We can change Stone and see what happens All right we changed starter wherever on That one initially let's see now oh now We're cooking okay okay uh we have to Deduct three minutes because of faulty Charger we will catch this one briefly And then it will stop I will drop Yeah it happens this is actually the Third session for today But you still get 120 okay Google let me Write down this Oh well the 120 kilowatt didn't last too Long Now we're down to 90 kilowatt again yes Well well Um but okay so um I'll show you Something interesting here you see here We're taking 90 kilowatt right no Actually 89 89 kilowatt okay and then
The same thing shows here 89 kilowatt Okay this is the charger screen of the Car And then Let me show you what happened if I fire Up the heater Auto You see here it drops Because the heat pump sucks extra power But look here this one does not report It because it's very common that the Charger screen on the I mean the screen On the car will report what you get from The charger because if you look at the Charger there it will report 89 kilowatt But this one actually reports what goes Into the battery this is bad design Um it's like Leaf design Leaf was Designed like this that when you Replicated or yeah and you fire up the Heater it will go even slower but Well-designed cars like Tesla or ionic Or pretty much almost the rest of the Car industry except for Toyota Will pull extra power from the charger And you will still be taking 89 kilowatt Right but there nah so I would expect that Nissan would learn From the mistake over all those years With Leaf but Seems like a made in Japan will always Be made in Japan Foreign There
Oh is that cooling no no that's that's Just yeah air conditioning or actually Heating so yeah Same story as before but this is why we Use supercharger but um Yeah how you can see the audio maybe now Okay this is a trick by the way the Audience wait to trigger happy to turn Off everything if you leave the car so Actually just leave the door open then It won't turn off So yeah you know what they say 90 AF you see in the Norwegian flight Ef-90 AF Okay over there let me show you guys now It's a every time it starts at 120 125 Kilowatt and then after the wire drops To 89 kilowatt yeah well well so the Next stop is going to be the turnaround Point different turnaround point this Time We have to go to Here let's see I think this one wait Is it this one I'm not sure yeah I think This one Wait is that the one no way No I'm not sure Yeah I think that's one way Yeah it is it is this one this is Somewhat confusing sometimes Burger King yeah I think it's this one Go it doesn't say ionity but it's there This this map is really shitty like what
What car was it that truck I think it Was the Korean cars uh ionic six it was Also kind of bad but at least this show I only here you don't even know this Okay I know it's there yeah that's it That's it Okay and then I bought some food finally We can restock on food over here Circle K is open Hallelujah Oh look at this I reset everything Before we started the 1000 kilometer Challenge and I made sure that Everything was zeroed out I didn't just Reset see if I don't show enough if this One I'll show you it's easier in case I Miss click something when you press and Hold you can say reset whatever right I reset all that's what I always do Because that one is default somehow This one since reset is a 310 watt upper Kilometer the next one here is exactly The same but then the connector is Higher time average speed everything is The same You see same But different I've seen this before in audio it's Really confusing I have no idea why it Is different But uh That's how it is with them Japanese or no no Asian software right That includes Korean and Chinese and Japanese software they are always buggy
We are now at Malmo getting 125 kilowatt Whoa let's see how long it lasts it's Been around 10 seconds now So we get it typically for 10 maybe 30 Seconds before it drops So I guess that's okay to get this boost Before it drops to a 90 kilowatt again There there that's it What the it happens every time that was 30 seconds of joy Yeah Well well well Wow look at this I haven't been here in A long time Um which car did I come here with I Wonder if there's some e Nero or uh Maybe some test line the old days no That Tesla I would charge a little Shipping but I remember coming here Before Uh before they got two extra charges They had the old ionic dischargers they Made drifting charges now these are the New ones yeah but other than that Yeah and here is Circle K Brings Mac memories because I think at One point I stopped coming here because There were other better charting options So but this is still a no case site I Guess this is the last exit before going From Sweden over to Denmark So yeah I can show you by the way I forgot to show you I have um uh Cybex eprium with me it
Weighs around 15 kilograms And then in the back I have The the eastvix base for uh Cybex also So this adds up to be maybe around 20 Kilograms maybe we should deduct five Minutes Because this is going to be a slow run I'm guessing maybe 11 hours yeah and we Even have aerodynamic rims look here and Stamatize doesn't Loop oh that's the Problem it's done Loop 255. what the Heck is this Bought Max maybe you know always blame Tires I for the inefficiency I don't Know man I think it's time to go to Circle K wait Can we enter it I hope so What the heck man Still this is going to take a while So it's time to have a banana Oh So this is the way to open the banana Just like the monkeys do Yeah do it like this Yeah all right I think this time wait I think we need one more challenge stop I think we're done yeah So the plan now is to go yeah I don't Know split it in half of them or maybe Falcon bite yeah So we don't go to the same I own the Charger that we always tend to go when
We do one thousand kilometer challenge So we have a little bit of variation Yeah a little bit of fun here And um to be honest We don't need 350 kilowatt charger for This car We need 120 kilowatt or maybe 90 Kilowatt also we don't even need high Power charge because I think the Definition for high profit charger is That it's more than 100 kilowatts or I Don't know 120 maybe you know All right we stay here 40 minutes at 80 Every time now it drops to uh yeah from From 89 kilowatt to around 40 kilowatt It used to go to 85 before it didn't it Okay whatever let's go now Uh Uh since start is buggy the distance and Everything here is connected like it Should but here this one is is since we Started driving or since last charge Rather so yeah it's similar to this one Since charge you see Oh well well well Foreign Bike I tried to plug in but then I Realized that 11a Is not in the list of available non-test Law I mean Tesla I can't I can't start from 11a this one Seems to be reserved for Tesla but The charge plug has been locked I cannot
Unlock it how do you unlock it There's no button here It was it was about to a person hole And it was about to lower all the way no That's not what I wanted that's not what I wanted I just want to Unlock the charge port What kind of Why do I have problems with Asian cars Man come on normally when you do this This one doesn't work because it's for Tesla This one Normally you lock it And then you unlock it Let me see Now you unlock it And it will release the charge port It's stuck I'm stuck Okay it works now I have to deduct total Of seven minutes a little numbness for My part first of all 11a cannot be used By non-teslas that I didn't know that Okay I should have checked beforehand on The app and then I was like okay 1B can Be used the problem one B is that Um you see here This is the CCS we have to use and even When you stretch it like this you see That it doesn't go that far And The audio has the charge port on the Stupid location You can say yeah the chart I I always
Claim that you should have charge port On one of the corners but all you have Is in the middle here so fortunately This spot was available and it's 3A and It can be used by non-tesla so I use This one so I lost seven minutes which I Will deduct You can disagree with me or Not no no no there was also one another Problem Um when I wanted to start When I want to start charging Um My credit card expired because There was actually a fraud attempt on my Credit card a week ago And I forgot that it was linked to this Account so I had to switch to another Credit card and that's why I lost some Time so you know credit card fraud is Not something that is linked to the car You can't play the carpet it's actually My fault that I didn't update it hey What charging stop what the heck man What is going on here why Oh let me still restart it Okay we started charging again lost Another minute Yeah we are started charging wait now we Go slower 85 kilowatt not nine anymore Okay but I had to run to the toilet it's Been way too long now we have 14 minutes And then it's total over here we lost Eight minutes now I don't know why the Car and then why it stopped it did not
Stop on the other places we charged this Is the first time charging suddenly Stopped Okay so this car under reports Distance By 1.5 which means that we have to count To 985 kilometers that would be one Thousand and then we had to drive here Um Yeah uh how much this 117 so yeah we Have to drive 999 somewhere here in Gothenburg and then we will end up at uh I think we also need to we deduct a Little bit of time for the convenient Chart because we'll drive a little bit Extra distance to go straight to the Starting point so yeah what is the time Now 9 11 okay that means 10 hours and I think we have roughly at the ten and a Half hour mark soon So can we do this within roughly 11 Hours we will see because the other the Front wheel drive earlier average only 285 watt hour per kilometer here it's Well corrected it's around 305 something I think Hmm and then it doesn't charge that fast You see we are charging at 84 kilowatt 85 kilowatt this is weird because the Tesla apps the Tesla app reports 90 Kilowatt it's been doing that since Start so I tried to disable battery Cooling battery heating everything but I Can show you here
This one reports 90 kilowatt so where's The remaining five kilowatt going huh I Don't know yeah I disable battery Heating in this screen battery Cooling In this screen I turn off HVAC still Same 85 kilowatt Yeah I think the five last kilowatt is Lost in Translation All right I will show you how I count Delays here so you see we have Bausch Delay here it's normally 120 it's Actually the car claims is 120 speed Limit but it's actually not it's 70. so That's why the guys here they're driving At 70. so we are driving roughly at half The speed we would be driving so then I Entered this at 9 18. so we just see how Long we stay in this bow Stella Uh for example if you spend six minutes Here then with the duck three minutes Yeah so that's that's how I do that on The on the on the way here it was night We were driving a little bit faster so The two minutes on the opposite Direction so this is how I normally Deduct delays or detours even This is it the countdown 9990 9991 No no five No no six Seven Eight Nine nine nine nine come on come on
Chanel There one thousand what is time time 1004. oh that means 11 hours and Five minutes oh we round it down it was Seven minutes 11 hours and five minutes Whoa We are not charging uh but what I just Missed it we had 125 kilowatts for 30 Seconds again and now we dropped to 90 Kilowatt as always but okay we arrived With almost 20 so I have decided I asked The live stream people also they they Agree I'm totally miscalculated and I Calculated that we actually charged over 10 minutes 11 minutes extra because of The extra energy and I kind of blame Myself because I don't know this route This new route uh normally if I would do Other routes I would be able to nail Down the the percent quite well so we Have decided to deduct five minutes Extra because of lubiness and that puts It at 11 hours and not 1105. Okay so 11 hours uh how was that Compared to the front wheel drive well The front wheel drive was 10 minutes Faster but it also had lower consumption Than this one but what's the low Consumption because it was front wheel Drive versus overdrive or was the Weather condition and driving condition Better well um today we had Colder Weather than before but the previous run We had wet roads 40 percent of the time
So I'm actually not sure I'm going to Try to do a range test while I'm here Around and I will see if I get the Indication that the overdrive is thirsty But I I get the impression it might be But maybe not that much maybe we're Talking about just five five to ten what Are per kilometer difference and that is Actually pretty good compared to some of The other all-wheel drive systems that Tends to be a lot more like inefficient Or a lot less efficient rather Um so yeah but um I have to highlight That okay is when I tested Um audio earlier it was like good stuff And mean the audio is still good it has Plenty of space it has good seat it has Good Comfort good dampening good Soundproofing the interior feels nice And great in general but there are two Things I want to highlight which is that The charging speed on the audio is not As advertised they advertise 130 Kilowatt okay you get 125 kilowatt maybe From the charger it pulls 130 or Something but I no no I still couldn't See it I've seen 125 kilowatt over and Over again but only for 30 seconds so I Feel like that's a little bit misleading It's like Toyota style you know Misleading marketing because people buy This car expecting to get 130 kilowatt Okay you might get 125 ish you can round It up to 130 for 30 seconds but you know
Even Tesla when you get 250 kilowatt you Can actually get it at least for maybe Like a minute and then even past that Point it goes to maybe 220 210 200 and Then 190 right but in this case here With audio it goes from 125 kilowatt to 120 kilowatt almost instantly and then 90 kilowatts quite instantly so I think Most people in the live stream here the 112 people in the live stream they Probably agree that we don't count it as 125 kilowatt it's 90 kilowatt And the other thing I want to complain About with the audio is that the user Interface Is old-fashioned You have to do many many things you have To do in the instrument cluster but Pressing the buttons here on the Steering wheel some things you have to Do in the main screen and they are split Like battery cooling is done here Battery heating is done here why you Know and also I experienced this time I Think maybe because I was a little bit Unfamiliar route that I have to try to Use navigation while I was driving which Is maybe not what you should do but I Had to do it anyway and people might do It I find it quite hard to pinch and Zoom and I try to find charges that Weren't there it would not show me ionic Charges or you know yeah I couldn't find Ion teacher I couldn't find Tesla
Charger I found some B charges like is This database from 99 1995 or how old is The database really the whole user Interface feels a bit sluggish and I try To pinch and zoom and it couldn't do it Or it worked 50 of the time and I have To zoom really forward to see charges And to just be charged So there are room for improvement the Car itself is good but the software And actually the Turning curve is also Software could probably make some Improvement or at least they should be Honest and say that this car charger is Only 90 kilowatt it's not 230. So I think that's going to 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
Tesla Ford GM Power Manufacturing
Electric vehicles are becoming more and more affordable. There are now models on the market for less than $10,000, with a range of 200 to 320 miles. Some offer a better value than a comparable gasoline car. EVs can be an excellent alternative for consumers who want to reduce their fossil fuel use and emissions, or for drivers who prefer the quiet, smooth driving experience of a plug-in vehicle.
New electric vehicles are also more reliable than their gas-powered counterparts. Electric drive systems have been tested in more challenging conditions than internal combustion engines, and manufacturers are using advanced battery technologies that can be expected to last longer.
In addition, many of the latest EV models are designed from the ground up as electric vehicles, rather than being electrified versions of existing conventional cars. This means longer ranges, more efficient vehicle designs and better value for customers.
The EV market is growing quickly. Many local businesses and organizations are stepping up to support it, including by offering EV chargers at their facilities. Many communities are investing in EV charging infrastructure, while federal initiatives are bolstering EV incentives.
Sierra Club is committing to empower its millions of members and supporters to leverage new federal investments in EV charging, with an emphasis on reaching communities that are most harmed by pollution harms. GreenLatinos, Hip Hop Caucus, and Clean Energy for America are collaborating to launch Route Zero in April – a nationwide campaign that will encourage EV adoption by providing education and tools to make it easy and affordable.
