This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente Yo what's up we're now in front of the House on behind here you see pollstar 2 Model year 2024 they call it it's a new Upgraded Pulsar 2. this is the long Range single motor which is now Redwood Drive not front wheel drive so poles are Done lots of major changes even though It looks the same on the outside the Inside has been changed quite a lot Uh one thing you will see is that the Front looks like this now so uh at least Poster claims that it doesn't give any Uh efficiency advantages just they just Want to make it look more like the other Upcoming pole Stars so all right so okay So if the air the numbers has not Changed what about other things well the Single motor used to be front wheel Drive it's now Rebel Drive and then the Power has been upped up to 220 kilowatt 300 horsepower Um the battery has been improved it was Before 78 kilowatt hour on this long Range battery it's now 82 kilowatt hour It can take 205 kilowatt charging so Yeah there's also some other changes but That's the one we're gonna care about Right now to see we have finally first Time I test the Pulsar too with the Leather seats it's um I think it was a 40 000 note option but it looks and
Feels so much nicer in the standard Seats so All right you see I charge the card 100 So we will measure the battery capacity And also the consumption and also Charging so let me start driving I have To actually pick up acai bag so I will Explain as we go We are now at chocolate doll yes my Regular starting position so if you look Here yeah as always I will count how Many kilowatt hour we have used and then Calculate the total net capacity from 100 down to zero this one has the trip Manual trip out or triple towards from Home so I guess I'll reset the trip Manual on my test segments but yeah so Let me show you now what I got in the Back here so I went to my storage we Have a temporary storage now with our Belongings before we move to the new House yeah this is the Cybex anoris tea It's yeah It's the child seat forward facing Chance it with airbag so I have another One this is actually a price to one of My uh followers my loyal supporters on How is this again yeah I randomly Selected someone who was supporting me On patreon so um it's actually a Norwegian this time who won it and he Lives near but Don so I message him that I'm here and he will show up soon So yeah I also have another one that I
Am just waiting to use now uh the the Baby needs to be 15 months old and then I don't remember the height but Isabelle It's actually old enough now and big Enough to use the Cyber so I'm gonna try That one day to see how she likes it Um while we're waiting I can mention That we also have this aerodynamic rims Hmm okay it should be good right Continental uh Premium Contact six uh About the 20 inch um uh yeah some some Volvo poster purists be like oh Beyond I Like your videos but you should use the 19-inch Wheels well sorry Mark normally When I request borrowing cars I can't Spec everything to the detail I can't Say I want these wheels I want these Rims I want that trim you know usually They just give me I want the long range Something single motor then they just Give me whatever they have right But okay another upgrade here is that Now they have silicon carbide inverters For the motor right uh they are slightly More efficient so for example Tesla has Been using it on model 3 ever since they Introduced it in 2018 so it's good that Poster also makes these upgrades to make The car more efficient So now we wait For Talia to show up Oh yeah so Tyler is here this is What a person right yes yes Um and uh yeah okay he drives the Tesla
Of course uh because he's part of the uh How does his Tesla Owners Club Norway Yeah correct is it the ball what do you Call it Studio yeah the board drama was President in the board okay yeah so you See you you're wearing the Tesla owners To Norway yes of course yeah well let's See so can you then try to put that one In the in the Tesla in the model as you See okay but less is obviously bigger Than the poster I had to fold the seat To make it fit but will it actually fit In the trunk without folding anything Oh wow Take off the departure shelf maybe yeah Let me see if I take out this one okay I Can hold it let me see What what the heck okay can it will it Close I hope so it's Just to put things in perspective how Much bigger the model S is versus the Ball star Oh Okay big drunk yeah big drunk yeah so I Have to ask you so China yeah how was This again you you were involved in Tesla underscot Norway yeah Um I become a board member in 2018 Uh first Um I got the first uh s75 in November 2017. Same month I started to become a better Member uh
And um I was kind of want to go all in when I First do something so I got in the board And then this summer I got a become a Vice president so I love working with The Tesla and helping members and Everything yeah and then Tesla Owners Club what do they do for Tesla owners in Norway then Yeah we have a lot of My company is giving a discount for I Think 55 54 Companies now I'm giving discount we Have a lawyer helping us with sorting Out some different stuff the panel gaps Stuff Batteries a few bad reviews uh yeah Different uh different stories and I Also heard that you you have a tight Communication also with Tesla yeah about Maybe software changes or other things Right yeah we have a lot of Communication with different leaders in Islam so if if there are something Special going on that we don't think is Fair we kind of giving a message about This So um that's valuable I think and Also we have this as we were Participating in this winter with the Model S plaid a big Ice Race yeah a good race yeah so uh This will be the first week first
Weekend in March again so a little bit Big this time also last time it was a Hundred cars wow so that's quite quite Big yeah so yeah so yeah that's Tesla Owners Club Norway for the win yeah well Okay so I will then continue with my Pole star So thank you so much for coming here and To support me on patreon thank you You're welcome and hope you like the the Cybex yeah that's pretty great yeah I Think it's almost fun oh yeah We're on the moon now so the first test Is to drive at 120 kilometers per hour GPS speed the car seems to have some Slack so it goes faster downhill And maybe a little bit slower uphill uh This is actually good for efficiency I Also see in the Korean cars do this Well okay so and also this is quite Awesome man oh you see I navigated from Lisa we're gonna go over there and back Again and the car estimates how many Percent we have initially when I Navigate there it will also say how many Percent we have if you go back here so Just like Tesla man this feature here Should be standard on every EV nowadays Yeah oh when it comes to Autos there oh It is a little bit uh insecure Okay okay left lane Huggers but um yeah Okay When it comes to noise levels Um the old Pulsar too wasn't that great
And I feel like they haven't upgraded Anything okay we have 20 inch wheels Yeah 19s will be better but Uh I need to do a proper measurement but At least my impression now is that on This rough Norwegian as well is that it Is more or less as noise as before in Comparison Tesla I mean why do I keep Mentioning Tesla because it's a very Popular car and also in similar segment Size wise but also price wise but Tesla They have slowly done some incremental Changes to improve the sound proofing Over time so the first Tesla was Actually noisier than the pole star but Now the latest and greatest Tesla I feel Like it's better but here Let's test it yeah let's test it before We give it the final verdict but the Ride man it's nice is Swedish design okay the car might be From another country but at least It has the nice ride as before one small Thing is that I still feel like it's a Little bit cramped in the Campion they Haven't changed anything of that I feel Like since this is a pure EB Well actually this is a PVP platform it Could open up a little bit more here but Maybe they just want to have this tight Cockpit feel like you're riding a a sub Fighter jets I'm not sure Okay result from the 120 test 220 watt Hour per kilometer it was 220 when I
Arrived and then they ticked up to 221 Because the HVAC is running while we are Stationary and it counts while Stationary but okay that is a slight Improvement over the old one but that Was the dual motor this is the single Motor but okay so now we'll do the 90 Test and you see we will drive the full Loop now all the way to roots and back Again so the car will estimate that we Will round it with 41 and then but this Is based on hammering uh I think the car Doesn't know we're gonna drive a 90 so We should arrive back here with more Than 17 percent Okay let's go then And today is 31st of August so winter is Coming soon as summer passed away so Fast but all right um now look at this We cruise at 92 on the speed though but Then the speed goes up to 95 on the Downhills Okay only 15 degrees outside even if It's um 11 o'clock so uh yeah we need to Check the weight of the car because the Front-end Drive should have been Slightly front heavy but then the rear Wheel drives will be slightly rare heavy And usually 48 52 So let's see then I think the scale Should be operational today It's around there Minnesota Okay let's see front axle
Or 1040 all right the whole car 200 ones okay okay So slight tail tail heavy And then how is music today Well we have headwind so it's blowing From the north Yeah around here at Minnesota is always A little bit windy but then further in Here we have more Bush and more trees That blocks the wind so you can see here Yeah the wow the the windsock is quite Erected That means a fairly strong wind I don't Remember how many meters per second but You saw that all the Rings were up Look we have new apps there's a Performance app we can see the g-force Well it's not very interesting now that We're doing the range test We have range assistant as you know it Well uh we have um some of the stuff is Great out there like car fireplace wait Which car have I seen that before Um you know AccuWeather there's some Game stuff what what we have about the Root plan easy Park yeah look at this so Yeah planner you can then uh navigate to A place and then I bet the replant will Pick Charting stations for you And look at this air quality wait is This based on on car sensor or I wonder if it's just based on internet Yeah data PM 2.5 and stuff like this
Weed very low okay well that's good Yeah Snoop Dogg approved okay Um lots of other pollutants here okay Good good good all is good all is good What else do we have Um Spotify SoundCloud we've all the new Thing is the YouTube YouTube yeah and Also Vivaldi browser so that one has Been out for a while so look at this It's filling up with apps now you can Also move these around you want this one Wait oh okay you cannot move around but You can you can just hold and push it Over to other squares if you want to Also The way I'm passing by harm right now And you know it's been floating a lot Lately well whoa damn I see the water levels are higher than Normal but on this side You should the Farmland over there is Flooded Oh yeah let me see okay I can see it now On the bridge coming up here see it's Like better wow yeah it seems like Muerson is around one to two meters Higher than normal and this is Yeah it's the norwegian's largest lake So that's a lot of water that is Accumulated so all the rivers that comes Here they also flooded many of them at Least so um It would take a while before all that Stuff is emptied out
We are now at the roots and the bug here Has not been fixed you see that we have Driven one hour exactly at 88 kilometers Per hour and then our speed claims to be 91. this has been a bug ever since the Car was introduced and the same bug is In the Volvo so the average speed shows Three kilometers per hour too high you Might say well okay well maybe the Distance is not correct well yeah the Car here actually on the report distance Because at this point it should be 90 Kilometers not 88 But however I was cruising at 90. so the Average speed shouldn't be higher than 91 kilometers per hour so uh yeah I'm Not sure what's up with that and then How does the car know the exact distance Anyway right if you knew the the correct Distance Why didn't it display here in The first place so I still claim that There's a bug that has not been fixed Yet Okay now we turn around And go back back And at this point the car estimates we Will be at the Circle K dull with 25 Percent okay so that was initially it Claimed 17 but that was probably based On driving at the speed limit at 110 and We are doing 90 now We are passing by Minnesota and yeah Even though it's only 15 degrees Celsius Outside it is a bit hot in here because
The sun is shining in so at first I had Eco climate on but I had to turn it off Because the car is being too stingy on The cooling you see I even have it over Here initially I had it here when the Sun was behind us and he could climate On but I just have to actually leave it There So yeah maybe the consumption is Slightly higher because of this but it Shouldn't matter too much because it's It's 15 degrees outside Right we finished the 90 test I got the Result I was in a conversation phone Conversation so I couldn't record video Yeah important conversation with a Possible uh future uh sponsor but okay Anyway now we're gonna drive once more To drive the battery low we are 22 Degrees 22 right now and you see this Time I will navigate to ionite So that the battery will preheat now we Don't care too much about consumption we Just do this to measure the battery Capacity So I just have to drive a little bit More North and then head back to uh yeah I owned it all but One thing I'm missing here is that There's no indication of the battery Temperature and there is no indication Whether the battery preheating is active Or not for example Tesla shows it quite Clearly over here somewhere
The Korean cars uh Like ev6 ionic 5 iron X6 will also have A little symbol near the battery down There where you can see that it's active Here I have no clue what's going on But we can just hope that we get the Full speed once we arrive I want to see 205 kilowatt okay and the time is almost Lit Hmm we are now at Minnesota And if you go to a range assistant there Is actually a power meter here but it Shows that we are pulling one kilowatt Which is HVAC so if you turn off HVAC And then To range assistant Uh okay this is probably an indication That the battery heater is not active Because normally if the battery heater Is active it will pull somewhere between Six and nine kilowatts Uh does it mean that the battery is hot Enough really Um because it's okay it's 17 degrees Outside And okay we have been driving not too Fast especially this last leg was just 90 test okay but let me switch on Climate again put it on outdoor And then go back to okay well I should Do this yeah my Clumsy may get back to Me okay I still want to you see it goes Up a little bit initially and then it
Stabilizes one kilowatt Okay let's go back to ionte then Well done D1 with the test so here we See the result and we have three percent Left wait wait you don't see it here Wait wait I'll go there you see three percent left Okay yeah three percent left a turtle Mode some power limit so yeah So we bail out here and plug in and then I have to calculate uh some stuff We're now plugging that ionity And uh okay I'm filming right now this Is going to be the recording for the Charting session so I have to stay away Out of the frame but let me do this it's Always a little bit hard to see the Screen and they have a look at that Almost 500 amp wow 207 kilowatt I Actually started charging with three Percent now we are at uh 12 but let's See how long we can maintain that speed But at least it doesn't drop immediately So you can maintain it for Well so far around two three minutes Wow very good yeah it's just four Kilowatt hour extra but depends on Something more to make it possible to Take this speed okay now the current Drops a little bit so it doesn't go flat 500 amp but it seems to try to maintain 200 kilowatts fairly flat I'm not sure The four kilowatt extra if that is lost Or cooling or nah we can check the code
Everywhere check it out okay If you go towards the front of the Corner let's see Do we see any Did we hear anything Nope not yet so I bet the BMS will allow The battery to heat up during the Session so that it can take that speed Well okay uh how was the range and Everything let's check it out Yeah just uh so you guys see here All right so already at this point it's Not dropping a little bit but still 192 Kilowatts I'll take it All right so today I estimated that we Have whooping 79.1 kilowatt hour that's 4.7 kilowatt hour improvement from the Old battery very nice and then the Consumption seems to also be low uh okay Well this was uh versus the all-wheel Drive a while ago actually many years Ago so on that regard I'm not sure how Good it is maybe it would have been Slightly better if you have 19-inch Wheels but when it comes to consumption Okay it seems to be slightly improved at Least the pollster claims that they have Improved the drivetrain efficiency I'm Not able to test it yet with the Overdrive since it is available to drive But uh I mean it seems okay uh my Personal opinion is that it's still Maybe I wouldn't call it thirsty but not
As efficient as the most efficient one From Meb or Tesla but still and also the Korean yeah of course but still Um yeah maybe a small Improvement there But the biggest Improvement there seems To be a bigger battery and also way Faster charging yeah So yeah other than that the car feels More or less the same so now I'm gonna Enjoy It's So Random by the way yeah this is I Don't see it there well I know it's this This one It's just 100 recyclable I have to show You this driver It's actually 100 recycled plastic okay Sustainable plastic But the taco this is a large taco salad And it's so Random how they make it at Circle K um I was like okay let me give You in on the chance because I'm so Hungry I didn't feel like burgers so Well actually maybe it's not that bad Today Yeah okay And the way up I think 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 For Urban Living
EVs are great for city driving, thanks to instant torque delivery that makes maneuvering in traffic a breeze. Plus, the lack of a loud exhaust and the absence of shifting gears make them nearly silent in operation. And since they don’t burn fuel, they don’t emit local air pollution, which is great for our urban centers.
Most shoppers focus on an EV’s EPA-rated range when shopping, but don’t forget that the vehicle’s efficiency also matters. This refers to how many miles an EV can get from a single charge, and it takes into account things like accessory usage, climate extremes, and driving style. An EV that’s more efficient can add miles of range about twice as fast as a less-efficient model.
Tesla
The Tesla Model S packs in lots of usable room, a luxurious interior, and some fantastic technology designed for city driving. Its battery-powered drivetrain offers usable, consistent real-world range and quick charging. And its B mode regenerative braking capability recharges the battery even faster.
Ford
The new Ford EVs build on the company’s Ultium platform and feature multiple sizes of battery configurations to fit different needs and budgets. And while its current lineup is still quite small, Ford’s commitment to the electric future is clear. It’s committed to expanding access to public charging, and it’s working with partners to help drivers of all types get on the road. The city’s EV Vision Plan also includes incentives for people who buy and install home charging systems.
