This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente Yo what's up we are now at sugarcane Learning school and we're going to do 1 000 kilometer challenge with a trailer ID bus as requested so I want to know Can this one match model y model y can Go 250 kilowatt but this one can list go 185 kilowatt but then maybe this one has A slightly flatter curve but what I want To know is what about consumption Because you see Uh the bus is quite boxy and the trailer Will be drafting behind the boxy bus Right so will that be an advantage it's Like um how much is this roughly let me See here About two meters yeah so you you have a Trailer that is tailgating the bus right Yeah but unfortunately uh this one That's the one I've been using in the Past third one is Marcus caput at Circle K so I have to use this one the same one I use with a eqe SUV with a kaput Well I'm not sure how broken it is but You see the the wing or whatever has Some slight damage I can zoom in uh will That affect the consumption Significantly Um I'm not sure because after all they Still have a big ass front here so this Weighs 700 kilograms so I can show that

It was wonderful to hook on the trailer First of all there was an automatic the Semi-automatic trailer hitch and just Look here look at the lights here lights There Light there but it it becomes so nice And bright and here you see that the Trailer uh I mean the the plug goes There and then this one can actually go On the trailer hook because it's Attached to the car so this is way Better than Tesla even the model y was Clumsy it was so tight but hey Done the UN okay so let me show you so Inside now the car Um should know that we have a trailer Okay we are charging to almost 100 now Yeah wow this is oh man it's so nice to Be in back in a German car Chinese cars I tested in the past like The mifa Um if other choose between nifa and this Bus fire up the line Then I'm not sure wait I need to Fold that one slightly but okay One thing I want to check out then is That if you go to for example Wait for the lag Okay Um Wait um like this Oh yeah the smooth okay we're gonna do Norway route because Sweden uh we want To avoid Sweden now and also I think

People are a little bit bored with this Swedish route so I don't want to take The detour around here but oh wait it Seems that the car think that we don't Have a trailer and it doesn't take that In account oh okay but a hair over here At schwein soon I will turn around so if I do this for example Yeah start how many percent will the car Estimate we will arrive with Um You have to click here Another click here The cars think we will arrive with 67 Percent in your wet the dreams okay but Um oh shoot I think we're gonna start Now 23 30. We've been driving for one hour and 45 Minutes and right now we're down to 18 Battery And by the way this car because it's Marcus beale's car uh why is not the Press car it's just it's not top spec so I don't even have um what's it called Again travel assist yeah I I don't have Autos there but if I had all this the Oldest they would actually work with Trailer that's the awesome part with the Meb cars but yeah so um Um yeah we can see here consumption is 391 Um you can see here that according to Car scanner now we have almost 25 Degrees Celsius so that's nice in the

Battery and then we have 12.5 kilowatt Hour left It's 12 degrees outside so yeah we will Go to uh We need 500 amp because this car can Charge like a boss so this is nice that The car estimates will run with 12 Percent at Riga And then in the back I can hear some Wind noise just like in the EQ E SUV you Know I wonder if that broken Tip whatever uh on the trailer causes Some turbulence And wind noise uh and also maybe it Makes the consumption worse so uh I'm not sure But um What else can we do there's there are no Other trailers out there I can use from Uh it's okay so we just have to go for This one We are now at ion te Riga charting up And you know when you guys make me angry I turn green you don't want to see me Green you know I said many times use Left turn signal in the roundabout and The lack of stock is bad and the yoke is Bad and you don't believe me Okay anyway I'm just kidding but okay Anyway yeah Uh here we're joining the bus and oh man It's nice to be back at ionity pumping It up look at look here It came with 12 wait I need to I need to

Hurry man this thing charges like a bus A bus Okay okay okay let me show you guys Inside oh man Um but I already calculated that the Next stop uh 192 kilometers away that's Too far away we have to then either go For ionite or wait Or V3 super router yeah or actually some Of the other ones okay we'll see but um okay yeah I'll figure out something We have to go over here first you know You guys know no regret we are avoiding Sweden because of the landslide so we Have to go over here and then I'll Figure out something a bit wait Oh yeah V2 is not gonna cut it Okay we'll see but uh man I have to Hurry I have to go I have to go to the Restroom it's already at 30 percent huh Wait how many minutes six five minutes Oh you're back on the road again that Was 19 minutes but we're getting only Around 90 kilowatt when you're unplugged So yeah the battery heated up a little Bit 40 degrees Celsius Uh but still okay nice and flat we Charge you 64 percent So yeah the next stop is gonna be wow Wait Uh-huh don't we have night mode on this Map The fox man Okay anyway yeah

Um that seems to be the best deal Um Lia but the only problem is that it Might not have any A trailer from these stalls plus that I'm not sure how fast we'll be charging We have V2 supercharger there uh which Will give me around 130 kilowatt only And then some uh some uh Circle K Chargers there uh ABB charger so uh We'll see once we get there what we need To do hopefully I don't have to hook the Trailer because that will uh make me Lose some time They do it Thank you We are now jogging at V3 supercharger Getting 100 and where how is this 182 Kilowatt wait are we getting slightly Less than ionity Hmm well I'm not gonna complain this is A very nice speed indeed I'm gonna check something here okay so This one reports 182 kilowatt This one reports 184 kilowatt Interesting the cooling has not started Yet so there must be some losses heat Loss Hmm okay okay anyway yeah so uh yeah I Didn't dare to go to uh lier we are not Leot open because the location here is Uh trailer friendly next stop is going To be ionite rindos Google that is not What

That is 94 kilometers away So wait what happened to the I set it to Night mode It's on auto what But why is it Jesus man Um firstly was set to day mode okay but We have to force it the night mode Because uh I know if I set it to Auto it Becomes demon but um does it look like It's day now ID software for the win Okay anyway Yeah so um yeah now we dropped a little Bit But that's still pretty Chanel Uh the only thing about the lia is that Just to get here we have to drive two Minutes to get oh two two and a half Minutes to get here But the main problem is that there is Nothing to do here there's a shopping Center and there's a burger McDonald's Over there but I think it's closed It should be closed by now so um yeah This is just a V3 site nothing else to Say so um I'll just sit there and wait a Bit wow I have to say this trailer is Proper big but yeah so Can I mean is it really that corner over There It creates some some wind noise If that's true And the wind noise there

Can be heard All the way here huh really Oh okay I'll just show you guys Something so this since this is not the Top spec car then We don't have those freaking 21 inch Wheels we have no matter how what Happened there Okay We have Continental 255 50 19. yeah what kind of continent Is this Q Okay so I actually feel like they are a Lot quieter than 21 inch I use On some of the other yeah the one you Know the other car the Press car yeah So I would go for a 19 inch definitely On bus not the 21 inch man And then food that I brought with me is Salad yeah I always eat salad because It's so nice and healthy and tasty Um Okay we're almost done now and see here I'm not sure if this is correct we are Supposedly pulling 4.2 kilowatt for Cooling well actually maybe it's Misreported so if you're taking 100 Kilowatts And We have four points almost five Kilowatts were cooling then we should Pull around 400 they have 104 kilowatt You put 103 kilowatt

Uh that number might be a bit before Then But anyway we're almost done charting Them but let's just see we'll show you Guys Pro tip in case you don't know this When you're charging an mbb car you want To turn off HVAC because if you turn on HVAC It might mess up things and it might Mess up the cooling and then the battery Will overheat see the battery is already Getting dangerously close to 45 degrees Celsius I don't remember the the Breakpoint for when it overheats and Start throttle in But yeah so at least now it's going very Nice and fast just have to know all These ninja tricks Thank you We are now at the ringtones Oh yeah look at that speed oh Like a bar bus yeah like a bus or but um The previous run wait can we see it here Let me see long term Since no no no last since chanting Yeah look at holy this was the last Leg but we had headwind so now we're Gonna ride on the Tailwind soon so yeah I need to figure out my next stop but Yeah 12.5 wait wait no no it's it's not That uh hot man it's just that the heat Is dumb or yeah it's around 10 11 Degrees outside so yeah let me show you A nice location oh I can oh I can feel

The wind okay but yeah Uh as usual we are the only one here But man just look look at this man uh Norway like Norway look how many Challenges we have here Hyper hyper charger huh I only think It's so Forefront when it comes to Charging infrastructure compared to even Speed and or Denmark or other places so It's it's just heaven to drive around Norway with even with a trailer no Problem But yeah so I didn't go to the restroom And do anything previous stop but now I Can finally go to the restroom here it's Okay We are now at leot open Super daughter Again Getting all 500 amp 180 kilowatt oh yeah Um okay but if we look at time here so We started at the 10 30. so we are currently at the seven Hour mark but Okay this car under reports by one Percent so we have we aren't even Halfway yet so it seems like it might Take more like 13 and a half hours oh Okay so we will most likely not be able To beat model y but at least if you can Match or beat EQ e s v that'd be great Yeah Okay so yeah another charging stop okay Let me see I'm not okay let me show you Here navigation how awesome it is you

Don't do this destination okay I own it The rig no no okay you go to search and Let me change the exposure a little bit As you see better And then you just click on this one Look at this look at this okay Look look how easy it is Start Yeah and direct the destination 85 kilometers away yeah that's a good One so This time we don't have to charge too Long we can just ride on the 180 Kilowatt wave We're back on the road again and this Time I charge you 52 and interesting Okay so in the beginning of the Challenge the car was giving me some Weird estimations but now doing the Challenge it seems like The car is learning that it has a Trailer or something And I estimate that we should arrive With somewhere between five and seven Percent and the car claims seven percent So this is impressive yeah yeah very Good for ID software So wow this is the coldest time of the Challenge that 8.5 degrees Celsius I Mean we are by the end of September Anyway but I can see that the traffic is Picking up now uh it's six in the almost Six in the morning on a Saturday So um I just had to get past Austin

Before the Stout no there's no stout Today it's Saturday morning so no style I have to worry about Wait I keep seeing more than 500 amp Wait let's go check outside did we Actually get 5009 from the charger Let's say the V3 supercharger seems to Be limited to 500 exactly but this is 505 right can we Catch it wait huh wait this one claims Foreign Hmm interesting because I think we can Trust the ayonti screen but we might not Be able to trust this screen here Uh okay whatever Oh so yeah we're finally here Yeah we are past the halfway point Exactly way past it It's getting a little bit bright now so Yeah finally I can go to the restroom Again at least open the previous stop I Didn't have any restroom stuff but here We have this one and uh you see as you Can zoom in can you see wow you can see The ants there Look at that oh sorry Foreign I'm not sure if I should go for it Jagger boost Okay okay We're back on the road that was a 19 Minute Johnny stop we charged with 60 Just to be sure and man it is so nice to Be back in a German car it's quiet here

It's comfortable it doesn't ding dong at You it has smooth But they are smooth cruise control So yeah next stop is going to be um Uh let me see it's wow it's seven Already Wait it's updating okay whatever so yeah But it's it's quite cool now And I'm anticipating that this leg might Be a bit uh A hole and maybe the car will consume a Little bit because mainly because of Drag Wow the road is also slightly damp so Yeah but whatever the car has nice and Flat charging curves so no problemo we Are driving German cars I remember that German cars there are the best Foreign This is a Powerhouse when it comes to Jordan because we have superchargers Here plenty of them We have Cobra charges here high power Charges we have mirror Charters here This is hyper hypercharger we have Eon And then there's also some AC over there So I go for supercharger because they Are cheapest but also because they Should be fast enough I'm not sure how Fast these are so but I know that it Works here 185 kilowatt no problemo So yeah oh man Um now I need to figure out we need to Split this uh we need to drive around

300. Yeah so we need to drive Well I want to go back to ionity First 91 kilometers back to ion then I'll plan The rest okay Oh man the bus It's just charges consistently fast let Me show you Um So I wanted to test this to see if there Will be any problems but you know the Bus handles this with It Stop stop there Okay stop Adria okay but Every time we get instantly this speed And also Um it doesn't overheat the battery it Has good enough cooling it will kick in The cooling uh when it's time and then It doesn't overheat it doesn't Colgate It has no problem at all pulling a big Ass trailer And this is interesting so this screen Reports 185 kilowatt This screen reports 185 kilowatt and 502 Amp but But then what about I own this screen What you have here Underneath okay But I don't know man uh whatever but yes

It's now 10 in the morning I need to Post today's video uh and I need to go Grab some food so I know that I have Roughly 15 minutes here before I need to Prepare and get ready to leave So yeah yeah oh man this is a big ass Trailer So about this one right so this is the Second to last starting stop and I Figured out that we're gonna Drive North Now A while and then drive a little bit past Here and then turn around And then come back here and we need to Drive roughly two times 106 kilometers And we will end up uh actually not here But at debonairs but it doesn't matter So yeah I'm going to do some tests also After so I'm trying to combine money Tests or videos in the same go without Having to drive too much back and forth But once I moved to yesim then it'll be Easier because then I'll be just 10 Minutes from home rather than half an Hour from home Oh it was a 21 minute Charlie stop and Now we're gonna head north Towards Tongan and then yeah so you know I noticed something here because this is A German car then every time I finish Charging I get back in the car I start driving Unlike some Chinese cars where every Time I come back to the car I have to

Turn off some stupid Bing bongs beeps So-called safety features and stuff that Resets every time that I have but here It's super smooth the way it should be No need to reset everything up But now traffic has increased it's um Yeah yeah past 10 on a Saturday morning Oh Uh well unfortunately I'm driving slow So uh they're they're not getting in my Way most of them Okay this is it the last starting stop And then time let me see what's the time Now 11 35 plus two one and a half hour It's we are already at 11 we are already At a little bit past the 13 hour mark oh I estimate it's going to be 14 and A half hour just like that I know the Fat So yeah we're charting here I'm taking Up a little bit of extra spot here but Um I think this is the best deal I don't Want to block too much space behind me There so and I see the situation that Yeah we don't have too many cars and I'm Staying here only for roughly 15 more Minutes so then out of here but I just Realized that Today man Uh there's wind no no there's Autumn Vacation Host failure so that's why There is so much traffic The office rats they're going on onto The cabin or somewhere so

Holy good thing I'm driving quite Slow Actually not effective Affecting programs they're so Even saw a car with an L they're Teaching how to drive and what did they Do they left lane hug Oh okay last pit stop before we do This a final one Okay we're on the final run and we are Now at 891 kilometers we have to go to 990. 100 more kilometers oh Traffic is building up more and more but It doesn't matter because we are just Hugging the right lane so no problemo And then hopefully I charge enough that Was a 19 minute Johnny stop and the last One wow this thing charges like a boss Oh yeah look man look look at those left Lane huggers campers man Okay let's do the countdown 9990 991 992 oh I'm blocking something sorry No no nine three 99 four Dollar line six 997 998 9999 1302. look look 1302 we can run it down To 13 that means 14 and a half hours and It's gonna take over to 1303 and is Second now it was that close

Okay and consumption was 394 watt hour per kilometer before Correction Okay bravo bravo to the white wait huh The white ID boss Okay Right we're now at nebulous charting up A little bit and I discovered an Interesting bug about the supercharger That would be covered in another video But I think I was the first one to Discover it but um anyway so yeah the ID Bus managed to match the time or the fat Eqe okay maybe the eqe that was the First one but it actually had the same Damage trailer so you can say okay at Least that one is equal but it seems Like the bus uh yeah why was it That fast then um the bus charge a Little bit faster than the equally in The beginning but then slower at the end And then the bus was a little bit more Efficient than the eqe and it seems like The increased consumption with trailer Here seems to be less than 200 watt hour Program maybe around 190 whereas some of The other like Teslas was aerodynamic They have roughly 210 220 watt hour per Kilometer increase so it does make sense That this boxy van Creates a drafting effect for the Trailer well I'm not 100 sure we should Do maybe a more control test but it Could seem like it based on the this one

Thousand kilometer challenge so yeah Interesting and also it means that this ID bus okay it might not be the fastest One to drive 1 000 kilometer challenge But at least you have plenty of space Here and uh I could go to maybe 80 and I Didn't have to charge that often but I Did did those charging stops for Speed But Yeah it's a comfortable car if I had Auto steer it would be even more Comfortable but the car overall is nice Like I shown in the beginning you know Unhooking plugging in stuff like that The tow hitch can be hidden so this car Man so the van here is good really good For trailer stuff so I think that's Gonna be it for now I hope you guys Enjoyed you enjoyed this video as always Thank you for watching and talk to you Later

Electric City Vehicles Cars Power

Electric City Vehicles Save You Money and Save You Money

The electric vehicle (EV) isn’t just a greener choice; it can also save you money on fuel. Most EVs qualify for significant tax incentives to offset the initial sticker shock. And electricity is significantly less expensive than gasoline, especially in states with higher per-kilowatt rates like California. Plus, refueling your EV costs about half as much.

Getting your EV charged is easy. Many models come with a standard 120-volt plug for charging in public locations. You can also install a home charger that uses the same 240-volt outlets you use for appliances like laundry machines and electric ovens (Level 2 charging). If you live in an apartment or condo, check with your building management to see whether there are public chargers available.

Some EVs—called battery electric vehicles or BEVs—operate exclusively on electricity, with their driving ranges listed in terms of miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe). Others, called plug-in hybrid electric vehicles or PHEVs, operate on electricity until the batteries are nearly depleted, then burn gasoline to extend the drive. (These are sometimes referred to as “blended mode” PHEVs.)

Some EVs, such as the Tesla Model 3, are available now at dealerships and online. And other manufacturers, including Volkswagen, BMW, and Toyota, are working on bringing new battery-powered models to market. Some of these are designed to comply with federal low-speed vehicle (LSV) regulations, making them street legal in urban areas where most city driving occurs. Wink Motors has unveiled four neighborhood electric vehicles that it says are purpose-built for American roads.
