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 and you know some people complain That I keep testing expensive cars Luxury cars well we have the Volkswagen The people's wagon here this is the ID3 Facelift it's a 62 or 5862 kilowatt hour Battery it's the pro variant it's not The top spec and we're going to do range Test so let me show you now what they Have changed first of all the front is Slightly different And also you know that Whatever they call it I call it like the Part of the beak looks like a bird or Something they remove that so it looks More normal now Um Wait what kind of tires do we have I Could check here it's been raining a Little bit Continental Uh what is that 215 50 90. okay Everything I mean rims what kind of Content is this I have to look on this Side maybe Eco contact six okay this Should be good oh yeah they're really Good and then Also in here voila They have changed the interior to be More soft materials and not too much Plastic Fantastic anymore no reason to Not buy this car that was a double or
Triple negation yeah And then in the back looks like this I even use this as a family car Yesterday and today I had baby seat There I had a mayor here wife was Sitting in the front it still worked Great And I even managed to put the Cybex baby Stroller in the back here yes Fairly okay trunk space but you see 12 Volt is still in the back here not in The fronts out to hook up the this is The the inverter for charging my Camcorder but okay so We have charged the car to 100 now I'm gonna show you here And then this is called car scanner it Reports 55.9 kilowatt hour okay you see 100 here and then stay the chart BMS is 96 the real estate charge oh it's Pulling a little bit now okay we should Get going yeah let's start driving And then you can show you here it shows 100 And then in case people want to know The ID software which version is it Uh you have to go here Settings Wait where is it again System information yeah here you see all The software stuff okay let's get going I don't want to be stationed at too long And you know lately I've been testing so Many Chinese cars but it's so nice to be
Back in a German car again oh because They are the best Autos in the world Because German cars they have the best Soundproofing they have the best door Closing sound they had the flat test Charging curve they have the coolest Styling They have the best prices yeah so um but Okay this car doesn't have uh Autos There because it's just a pro version Yeah But at least it doesn't slow down in the Course like at all the drivers oh man uh And it it's so nice and quiet here so This is even the poor man's car and we Are on rough Norwegian asphalt and I'm Driving on a speed limit plus very T Yeah never underestimate the power of 50 Profile tires And yes the trip from Oslo to here was Wow look at this with uphill and Headwind That is really good okay oh I kilowatt hour per hour you know like They might as well write it as Horsepower hour per hour yeah but okay Anyway Um now we're gonna reset this one So you just have to reset well I want to Reset this one first We have decimals here okay to reset There that that one here doesn't ask for Confirmation by the way the Inconsistency but this one will ask for
Confirmation okay and now we do the 90 Test Well we're on the move and we have the 293 kilometers per hour to match 90 GPS Speed Uh but what the heck I don't know if you Can see it but the windows are fogging What wait wait let me check here on the Edge if I just rub a little bit yeah Just freaking phone with the window well Okay it's been raining here earlier uh This evening Uh so I guess the the air is moist and Also semicol is 14 degrees Celsius so Nowadays it's nice and warm but um Window should still not fog are we in a Korean car or even a German car Maybe they don't have rain in Germany What I was gonna check the weight It's CA again kaput Always be kaput no I think it needs Calibration oh man okay we have to check The other scale at got the Moon instead What roadworks okay how is music oh Nice and still okay that's good for Consumption almost no wind the only Minus is only 15 degrees outside And this car seems to have the basic Sound system how good is it I'm gonna Test it with today's standards and Today's playlist [Music] Okay a nice nice mid base at least I Seem to lock some deeper Bass
And this is fairly clear but then I feel Like it's not top-notch it's lacking Some detail lacking some some Sound Stage here Yeah but it sounds okay [Music] What about this one [Music] So at least it doesn't have any Over sharpened treble What about base What about linearity let me see now [Music] Look at the base [Music] The bass sounds fairly linear I don't Think we even have a subwoofer I'm not Sure Because it sounds to me like we don't Have a subwoofer but it's still managed To reproduce some some okay bass maybe While I guess maybe it goes to around 80 To 100 Hertz [Music] But also fairly linear so I like that The bass what about travel what about This guy he seems to have a bright voice Let me see [Applause] It His bright wall sounds natural That's good okay next song Okay what about rattling this song I Tend to uh test for rattling typical
There will be some rattling in the mid Base in the doors in many cars but this Is a German car even if it's a poor Man's car Poor Man's Volkswagen Shouldn't rattle [Music] Maybe a tiny bit of rattling but not Much Yeah Volkswagen never stopped to impress me Wait let's see Okay what about this one Oh yeah I like the clarity despite that It seems to lack The deepest bass but it still managed to Reduce some bass here but I can I can Feel like it doesn't go that deep Actually okay I mean it sounds okay when You are playing at medium sound levels But one thing I One thing I rarely do is to test how Loud they can go But I feel like with this this basically This song when you try to crank up the Volume okay the mid The medium tones and the high tones they Go higher but the bass seems to struggle To keep up with the rest [Music] Okay let me skip a little bit [Music] Oh oh oh yeah and then when I go when I Try to to go louder suddenly I hear the Bass is clipping
So it seems like we hit some limitations In the amplifier or the or the speakers So yeah um that was the last song in This new series so if I would rate this System I'm not sure I think I would give it a Five only it lacks a lot of stuff I mean It still sounds clear okay it checks Money on the right boxes but it just it Just can't give me that oh yeah like Somebody else's other systems give me so But it's uh still good right for for the Price yeah We're getting close to stung you know And the consumption is 151 watt upper Kilometer the pre-facelift test I had I Think it was two years ago was it three Years ago I don't remember man was a Long time ago it had only 135 watt hour Per kilometer but it was 20 degrees Celsius outside now it's 13 degrees so It seems like uh this car is affected by What the cold weather Um But also this facelift it's supposed to Be slightly better in range but I don't Know if it's better because of Efficiency or bigger battery so we're Going to figure out at least the battery Part Okay let me see let's try the cost I'm not sure if this is going to be a Good one Because it's a bit cold outside
Well it's bare barely gaining any speed Here Plus that car scan is showing some weird Numbers I can't show you right now but Course kind of shows that it's pulling Three kilowatt huh what Oh this is so weird man I feel like it's Not gaining speed as much as this should Some of the fastest or some of the best Cars costing they will be at 120 Kilometers per hour by now so this is a Bit weird I think there was um the Record was uh score the enyoke Okay it still picks it from good speed But um See yeah and also it seems to Glide Quite well Is it here it seems like it's flattening Up but there's still a slight downhill So you can see that it can maintain Speed Come on Okay maybe over here there's also a Little bit of wind No no no no No no no no no you can still maintain it Oh oh okay okay Um I don't know what's up with that okay I'm listening to the left here we can See mirrors okay oh there's headwind Over here yeah I saw that on the weather Forecast To certainly records we need Tailwind Nice weather and one of the mab cars
With good drug coefficient which would Be Well I think the reason why uh score the Enya Coupe was the best was it was Because It's probably the The car with the best drug version okay Until id7 arrives yeah Okay okay I need to test that one Eventually eventually We turn around and then now we're Heading back to uh towards Oslo and then Based on the trip meter since we started From Oslo by the way if you look at the Distance here multiply by the Consumption we get the kilowatt hour and Then we look at how many percent we have Left or versus how many percent we Consume and that now it seems like we Have roughly 58 kilowatt hour net Capacity so for now it seems like the Car's still a charge scale is linear but We have to see by the end of the test We are finally done with the 90 test so The consumption was 154 what per Kilometer but It reported as 190 sorry 179.7 is Supposed to be 182 so this car under Reports distance which means that the Consumption Is actually lower than this All right uh what's the time now wait Wait why don't we see the clock here What okay we see the clock here okay so
Now we're going to do 120 test and um You see it's getting cold outside but at Least 120 test was slightly cold or Uh down uh than today so yeah because Here by the way the result here was Higher than previously but it was warmer So um yeah let's try another 100 test Then it should be right on par with the Previous itself right and then I think I Will also come back here and do 90 test Again once it's warmer uh possibly Tomorrow Is half an hour past one at night and Wow is it getting bright already Huh Well it seems like it Okay and a neat feature with the ID cars Is that You can see how many percent you will Arrive with oh what luxury is this man Yeah so I navigated towards okay not I Own a door because I don't want it to Preheat the battery so the consumption Doesn't go up but okay so right now the Car is just 18 of the Rival all right we Have 26 left And also you can see the battery here is Hovering at uh 21 to 24 degrees Celsius Oh nice only three degrees Celsius Delta I think we have to see what see once we Go on the 1000 kilometer challenge how Much Delta do we have here hopefully not More than 10 degrees right All right we're almost done with the
Test and we have 0.25 oh we have minus 0.1.2 percent well actually this one Shows one percent We're Gonna Roll in into the ionic Charger you have zero uh what our left Hair supposedly okay but we're gonna Regen a little bit once we uh roll in Here one close now we go property oh Yeah Zero zero that's the way to go man okay Okay oh rolling here Oh Okay Once we region we should get some stuff Back here okay let's see let's roll over To the ion the charger This is almost a zero mile test but what The heck how the heck is that dude Parked you're supposed to okay whatever Okay basically the chalkboard is on the Left side with the right side not the Right side with the wrong side so I have To go over here And then we go do the joining test Oh yeah Oh the Turning circle is so great here Oh this car is small light and Nimble Well actually I haven't checked the Weight yet okay but all right let's um Plug it in but before that I have to Record some data here let me see first I Have to do is stop climate control Okay and then we look at um since last
Charge how many kilometers are driven And here we can figure out how many Kilowatt hour we have This is right what chart vehicle now Otherwise the button may be damaged okay Okay all right all right we are zero Percent zero kilometer and the point Okay whatever let's um plug it in All right we have done charging to 100 Percent And if you want to see how fast the Charging went you have to watch the Charging video so now we have to head Towards Oslo again and check the weight Of the car and also well the temperature Is a bit thicker no it's not is it 16 Degrees Um it went up during the joining session Because I think the outlet was close to The temp sensor but okay let's check the Weight force and then I want to come Back here again later well it's three at Night now I want to come back when it's Slightly warm and I want to see if it Can get lower consumption Right this one is always working see the Pre-facelift was 1840 kilograms What about the face lift Did Volkswagen make it lighter Oh no they made it heavier Well actually I'm not sure and maybe There could be some variants in other Stuff equipment or
Yeah I'm not sure we have 60 kilograms More stuff suddenly Well well well All right it's been a couple of days we Have done 1 000 kilometer Challenge and Some serial mild tests Meanwhile we're Back at doll and you know the first few Runs I tested it was it it had rained That day but now it's been dry for many Days and also fairly hot it's still warm In the evening now so back here it's Getting late again unfortunately I Couldn't get out of the house until now But okay I want to try it again What if we do Two more runs you see it's 18 degrees This time Um let me see then if we can get lower Result and lower consumption so let's Start with a 90 tester So we just do the same drill because at 93 kilometers per hour wait maybe I want To turn down the light a little bit There we go yeah slightly better and Then we see the consumption So uh yeah you see it's almost midnight Now it's 18 degrees over here No traffic and dry roads And how is mierson tonight let me see oh Oh oh okay oh almost no wind Beautiful sunset Or I don't know if we can call it sunset But over here it's 17 degrees Celsius 17.5
For the 90 test I'll just turn around Here this is a long enough distance let Me see how yeah it's 19 kilometers wait Plus a little bit so it's almost around Around 40 kilometer Loop that's good Enough and right now over here is 141 Watt hour per kilometer hmm is this Going to be better result than the Previous 90 test we shall see Oh this time we got lower consumption Than a couple of days ago Or is it because the weather was drier Was it because the temperature is higher I'm not sure but let's try 120 then All right this time 209 watt hour per Kilometer we also have to correct for 1.3 Under reporting so this is also Better than the previous run So if you compare the pre-facelift Result with the face liver self now it Seems like the consumption is quite Similar I tried my best to try to get The 135 watt hour per kilometer I Achieved with a pre-facelift long time Ago but I simply couldn't get it that Low I think we need to have those 18 Inch Bridgestone two runs or tires maybe Then we can get it but as long as we Have 19 inch Continental Eco contact then we probably Get this result here seems like so um Volkswagen or I mean the Importer Volkswagen in Norway they claim that There is a slight increase in range here
But I just can't find what it is is it Increased efficiency or is it bigger Battery it doesn't seem like it's bigger Battery they could be maybe slightly Better aerodynamics because they change The shape of the front a little bit That's my best guess but at least when I Tested now I can't replicate the same Result maybe I need the 18 inch wheels Maybe we can then get slightly lower Than 135 watt hour per kilometer So Based on the test so far It seems like there is very little Difference between the facelift and the Pre-facelift when it comes to range and Efficiency So yeah 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
Cars Power
As electric vehicles become more popular, more people need access to charging infrastructure. That’s why Earthjustice is fighting for policies to support the development of workplace, shopping center, and residential charging stations—including EV fast charging. The new stations will help remove one of the biggest barriers to ownership for many people who can’t afford to buy a plug-in vehicle or don’t have a garage at home.
GM Power Manufacturing
With its Ultium platform, General Motors is creating multiple models of electric vehicles that are affordable and accessible. It also plans to build a $5.6 billion mega campus in Stanton, Tennessee, called BlueOval City to transform the way it produces cars and batteries. The plant will use a vertically integrated ecosystem that includes a battery factory and key suppliers.
Tesla
Tesla is rethinking how it makes its electric vehicles, including changing the way it uses expensive components like nickel, cobalt, and manganese. The company is also working to find cheaper materials and developing alternatives to its current lithium-ion batteries.
On a clear day, the wind turbines on Vaughn Moser’s hayfield join the flow of electricity from upstate New York and through the bottleneck west of Albany. A small portion of that flows down to New York City, where it runs across familiar poles in the outer boroughs and through the underground cables in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood to a new installation on the edge of the city. From there, the carbon-free power can juice up a fleet of sleek cars that are ready to leave the internal combustion engine behind.
