This video was brought to you by Marcus B elmech a planner Stone bik Camp power And B Component yo what's up we are now Sitting in the Kia EV 9 this is All-wheel drive and uh it's the what six Seat not too relevant but in this video I'm going to try to give you guys the Driving impression so yeah uh let's just Go for uh yeah it's it's on let's go I Reset the consumption numbers and then We'll just dry around it's not going to Be a too strict driving I mean Consumption test it would be more like How is it I checked by the way we have Double glaze windows in the front and in The back what about this one uh yeah but Okay it's a bit slippery here I have to Be careful and also we have a bit low Sun so maybe the the the the light Condition might not be the best but yeah That's just how it is we we have this Event now at ban in as and uh I got this Car only for around 2 hours so I already Shot some interior view and then we're Going to drive I mean do the driving Test Now ooh it is Quiet wait is the thing uh wait let me See Setup uh Vehicle driver Assistance have to check here speed Limit yeah
yeah yeah it bugs me about speed Limit just like in a corner I also Have to do this every time driver Attention warning off okay okay now this Is Better um you know this car is a little Bit uh bigger than 5 m but it still Feels nice and Nimble it doesn't feel That heavy you know that what the heck Man some stuff is beeping at me I'm not Sure what it is but Um oh I couldn't figure out how to turn Off the beeping sound but you know some Cars you feel like it's heavy I think it Was the eqs Eqs fat eqs is almost 3 tons this one is As big as an eqs fat eqs but maybe it Weighs less H but it has a 99.8 KW Battery and it's 800 volt architecture But okay let me see trying to get an Impression on how uh what it sounds like Um uh we are around here okay I'm not Sure where I should be driving um well You know let's just drive Towards should I go towards Osa there's Too much traffic there oh no I should Have gone the other way around okay Let's do a little flip Mode yeah let's go over here so this Doesn't have to be a 45 minute video I Realized that when I drove the e e T5 Touring it was a little bit too long People didn't care so okay let me see oh this car is
Quick well it has uh 300 And how much was it again um I think it Was around 3 380 something horsepower Right H but it's all about the torque Right torque wins races no how is that Again Uh horsepower wins discussions torque Wins Races okay oh that's car is in front the Smelly what the heck are you Burning okay oh it's quick yeah it's Nice okay wait wait does it have any Weird let me see if I when I hammer it I oh it has this AR offishal lag but Maybe I can switch mode um where's the Bone button no here I forgot the dry Mode is here yeah it's on the steering Wheel now sport sport has been Engaged Okay I hear some kind of Liquid slurping Around oh there I think there's some Water bottles yeah this is a press car a Press event yeah I was just wonder what The heck is that okay anyway let's bring It out of sport mode my drive Eco normal Okay and then let's try yeah it's like Uh Kia and Hundai you know they they are Quite similar Let's uh enable cruise Control Who There and then Auto Steer There and then let's check uh yeah I go
In the tun Now W this is nice and quiet in the Tunnel yeah usually uh noisy cars you Will hear it in the tunnel that is like But here nice And I feel like this is not acoustic Glass you can always do this but I want To have it open here for the light uh When we shooting Video so it's doing a good job of Auto Steer can can we do a lane change here Also I'm not okay now what there let's Um going to turn around here just a Quick uh drive just to give give you an Impression of what it feel feels like Okay and then how do you consel It uh okay I'm going always press the oh It has this Auto stair uh is active even If cruise control is not Active so let me see I can feel like It's a bit bage I mean just look at the Car know it's Humongous but I feel like for example a Tesla Model X has a more sporty ride than this One but okay let me Maybe I should drive a little bit over Here a little bit in the in the Highlands or in the uh L how is it then wow but I like it I Mean it's crazy but because it's such a Big car but it doesn't feel that big and It's nice and comfy but should try to Find some really bumpy roads here if I
Can speed buns be great yeah can we find Speed butts let's go over here not too Familiar around Here let's see can we can we just go Into one of these really small roads and Find Something but it has a round steering Wheel it has stalks plenty of Stocks oh some slippery roads o nice let Me see yeah okay now there were some Bumps over here I just want to feel how It Is okay oh speed bus perfect perfect Okay let me see now how does it handle Speed Bumps oh it just okay it tries to soften Up the Bump but I still feel like an Eqs is just you know a tiny bit more um Comfort the the the ultimate comfort in The Mercedes you still get that one but Mind you that this cost half of fat Eqs oh we have some nice snowy rolls Over here can we go offroading okay Maybe not let's uh let's go back to the Road Here yeah yeah yeah so pretty Good okay when you try to challenge it On sleeper Road it doesn't do any weird here is not a speed bump But yeah it just softens out the bump But it it Feels and sounds quite premium it's Almost unbelievable that this is a this
Is a Kia but Yeah you feel like you're driving a more Expensive uh German car maybe where Where did they come from again I'm so Lost now come from here Okay so uh yeah I wish I could go Off-roading over in the field over there And someone's going to call the bullet Ey on me so I can't do that so we have To stick with the plan since this is a Press man let's get over here so yeah um So nice with that One Mr see how does it uh handle when You yeah yeah I mean it's it's not doing Any weird I'm looking for I'm Trying to feel for some weird bounce Some of the Chinese cars they tend to Have this bounciness this one has 3.1 M Um um what do you call it wheelbase so Good Comfort because of the Wheelbase and suspense but we don't have Air suspension here so but there some Kind of multilink I'm not an expert Suspension let me see uh can I go yeah Eye pill okay I tried also you have the Flappy pills on the steering wheel and We can get a really strong region if you Like It and then now we're going to head back I think uh there's also some self Parking stuff here uh maybe I'll test That eventually but now I'm just going To get an impressional how how do we Get over on that side can
We I'm little bit lost now OS slow left Okay um oh it's over there okay okay Yeah so let me see if I regen now how is It nice strong region even though we Have 92% battery but the car has been Sitting inside yeah I didn't hook on the Car scanner by the way I could probably See I I bet if I use the ev6 profile I Could see some numbers here sorry There's something rolling in the back There probably on bottle or something I Don't know but um uh the car is yeah There's something bottle or some But the car is rattle Free it's it's fast enough fast enough For most people okay let's set on the Cruise control again and then and then Put on the auto Steer and then we Cruise it so yeah nice And uh comfy we have uh actually three Screens here we have an instrument Cluster a small screen here and a bigger Screen here these two they are touch Screen so you can you can press some Buttons here you outdo oh oh yeah okay And you have the touch screen here but Uh I feel like The the navigation here in Kia Hyundai Is a bit um out outdated yeah um it Should be more Google Maps like or more Like Tesla or maybe poar well po uses Google but um yeah but okay um uh too Much nitpicking right let's go to home Here now I get something in my face let
Me try this one yeah okay and then redu The speed There and then let's T Test the wipers Okay oh oh nice spread nice uh yeah nice Squirt wipers are quiet even though it's Uh 4° C outside it doesn't make Any Sound so um yeah man I I like it it it's Quite spacious in here you know some Cars like the fat rron it's a big car But they make the whole interior quite Cramped but here it's not that cramped Wait wait I I think I don't want to Drive too far off actually I think that Test drive is long enough I'm going to Probably just go home now uh because When it comes to charging we have 91% Battery so um we can't do too much Hammering uh well actually can be uh no I I want to I need to test it properly Later uh but I heard okay this one uh What the heck is that CL sound but Um um the ev9 Supports Only uh 210 KW it's actually slightly Slower than the ev6 which is 230 but uh The ev9 has a flat charging curve with a Bigger battery also so that would be Interesting to test eventually how flat Is it dud Dude what the heck man Dude Jesus freaking uh new lban man don't you Know about the yielding rules
What we tested the the brakes there was That was not emergency brake it was me Breaking oh the auto stair is going I Forgot to turn on the auto State all St Try to go around the the Roundabout oh man freaking no wonder why There are accidents happening when those Guys are not following the yielding Rules traffic rules but uh yeah I mean Uh we test okay I'm going to drive a Little bit more in that area near there Where we started Um but what I feel like uh maybe I'm in A little bit bad position I want to Adjust a little bit here some cars some Chinese cars doesn't allow you to adjust The steering wheel while driving Let's Test here you can adust the Ste wheel While driving why not and then once Again some cars doesn't allow you to Save uh the Position let me get over to Tesla I know There are some speed bumps over at Tesla And some actually some regular bumps Also f H Yeah yeah okay okay um can we save uh Where's the saving button here there's a Bunch of buttons here which one is oh no There okay save not available while Driving so I don't know what's up with That I I cannot save the current Position while I'm driving so I have to Put the car in
Park uh and then I can uh save the Position uh I don't get it man uh why Not why why you have to be in park okay Let's try get over here okay so I have To get in Park park and then I can press and Hold yeah saved yeah I saved the SE okay This is also interesting the start Button is here it's a bit weird but Normally you don't need to use that Start button if you have the the Fingerprint or some other means of Driving as a key yeah okay So um Can I drw around here look at those Teslas Kut oh man so many problems with Teslas why do they buy those cars huh You can buy something more premium Something faster something quieter which Is this Kia okay just just kidding but Um anyway Let's uh see if we can get out Of here but um yeah and also one thing Yeah there's gravel on the road you know G Yeah just go over here um well I want to Check for sound proofing in the wheel Ouches you hear them a little Bit yeah what I'm what I'm listening to Is that you know when you have gravel You drive on gravel road you hear the You hear rocks hitting the the wheel Arches here you could barely hear it so I get the impression that they must have Put enough sound proofing in the wheel
Archers which is important if you live In Norway because uh we have rough Regan Asphalt uh which tends to be quite noisy When they get old after 3 4 years they Get quite rough and Noisy so yeah um but I think that's Going to be it a little short test drive Let me see if I can find my way back but Um you know I just sat in here and I Started driving and everything Felt um intuitive because they haven't Done any crazy okay except for the Start button over here but it's fine you No they're not wasting too much space Some people some car manufacturers have A big ass start button in the middle or Some like that but here it's just Hidden there and you don't use it that Much they're just they just can't get Rid of the they can't let off the start Button yet unlike Tesla or Neo but but You know we have like I mention we have Round sting wheel we have stocks where They're supposed to be we have touch Scen here we have um I just everything Is where it's supposed to be on most Other cars they haven't tried to Reinvent the wheel there right or have I Forgot we also have a head of display And this is true head of display it's Not some kind of glass that comes up so I mean if this is going to be some I Mean who are we trying to compete Against here you know I'm speaking as
Kab who are we trying to beat this car Fully spec all-wheel drive cost 900,000 Nuke in Norway like what what what a BMV or a Fat rron cost more or what else uh Well maybe the maybe the xbank G9 can Kind of compete in price but that's a Chinese car if you don't want Chinese Car this is Korean you know yeah Um fat eqs is two times more but yeah oh I forgot something we should speaking of Eqs we need to test this one Sound Okay wait wait how do it stop no no no Okay Okay [Music] O okay we have Meridian sound system and I think it was in the ev6 I felt like it Was lacking a little bit of Base this One doesn't seem to lack that much Base okay next song [Music] [Applause] Nice and clear we have some 3D surround Thing [Music] [Applause] [Music] Now [Music] The base sounds deep but also quite Linear oh I okay I was going to Turn the volume down but it's slipping a
Little bit because it's not rubberized And then I and then I pressed Pause by Accident well it's um when it when it Mutes it also pauses okay okay that's Good and then next Okay [Music] Wait how do you get out of here it's a Bit Tight are you Lening cuz I don't want to waste your Time I'm Not Los they will be all right am I Missing it I think the sub roofer is in The Back but the volume control though is a I can do use this volume control but I'm Just nowadays I'm so dry on my fingers Uh so it Slips but I like the base I like the Whole balance of the Sound the base doesn't sound too Overwhelming I have to listen to some uh Rattling here do we have Rattling what about regen eye pedal oh Look look look look so if I have level Three you go slightly downhill if you Put on eye pedal Z it's St it stops there in the [Music] Hill okay let's Go no Rattling of course no rattling this is a Kia Okay let's listen to some deep
Base Oh oh I like the base it's deep Is it Punchy Though fairly Punchy but maybe I don't Know maybe I feel like it lacks a little Bit of punch but still nice and deep [Music] I'm so I think that completes the sound Test it it sounds great sounds nice and Clear but also uh it has enough punch Enough enough uh um I don't know what You call it definition in the base Also and the let me just listen to Something H I forgot to focus on this One I was just too busy maneuvering Which is bad I should I should do the Sound test while I'm just on the highway Not dealing with any traffic or anything Like that but let me just listen to this One again this guy has a has a bright Voice I don't want to waste your time I'm not And lose it they will be all right am I Missing It well Maybe maybe I'm nitpicking maybe it Lacks a little bit of detail in the in The high frequencies in the treble but At least the the treble doesn't or his His high pitch voice doesn't sound too Um unpleasant to listen to yeah but so I Would if I would give this points I Think it would be a good eight out of 10 10 good sound system man and just just
For the price of this car you like you Get head up display you get good Soundproofing double glaz windows plenty Of space this you have to look in the in The uh interior view of this car the Whole seat configuration seat solution With electric adjustable seats and all That stuff man the executive seats are They so wonderful we have airens in the Back adjustment has it's loaded it's Loaded with lots of features you would Expect in way more expensive Ive cars And it has the space and it rides well And it's comfortable uh without being Too much bolt and it doesn't have any Weird bounce and things so I I'm I'm Just blown away man Like the German car industry should be Worried the Chinese even should be Worried uh what if I would want a big Ass oh there's some traffic sh if I Would want a big ass family car this E9 Would be on my list but then of course You have to test it properly like okay I I can't say anything yet you know I have To test it in 1,000 my challenge I have To do the B test and all the other test Like headlight test I haven't checked All that but but you know just it's Kia Know I know ev6 so yeah uh in case You're just sitting there you're like Come on I need to order now I don't I'm Not sure if I can yeah but just based on That this is EMG egmp platform you know
It's Kia uh already that one is they Like a good quality stamp that this is This is good man uh it can't go That wrong wait where I'm supposed to go Now so but then of course if you're Not sure still then yeah maybe you need To wait until I go get the full test but This is the problem because Kia they Have this test event because they want Us to test the cars but uh we will be Able to get the Press cars for longer uh Borrowing like one week or something Sometime in January or sometime next Year so that's why you know we just have To get as much impression as possible Here and then we'll see and oh also Yeah one another thing um I have to Check here so we drove a little bit Around cish right little bit of Motorway But uh the consumption was 237 wat hour Per kilm I was also standing still a Little bit so that's not too crazy but Of course we need to do a proper uh test Well all right we're doing a 90 test now I checked GPS speed it's 90 Exactly now we just Cruise uh on these Roads a little bit up and down uh just To get an impression it's close is to a 90 test yeah so here you can see closer What the displays look Like and then which mode I'm in I think I'm in the regular mode uh wa can I see Which mode I'm in uh you can see dry Mode here uh sport my drive eal uh just
Normal mode yeah I don't want to go Eco Ninja mode or anything and also not Sport mode okay I finished a loop it Wasn't that long and also okay not the Strict 90 test but um I think it should Be something like 220 yeah wat hour per kilometer so Considering that it's winter and Somewhat wet some places then uh I think That's okay and also um when it comes to Net capacity so the gross capacity 99.8 KW hour uh net capacity Maybe a bit over 90 so that means that We should get a little bit over 400 km Range during winter just wild guess Based on this test so yeah anyway that's All I have with this car until I have to Return it now so that's going to be it For now I hope you guys enjoy this video As always thank you for watching and Talk to you Later
Benefits of Electric City Vehicles
Electric City Vehicles
The drivetrain in an EV has 17 moving parts, compared to hundreds in an internal combustion engine (ICE) car. That means they’re a lot simpler and less expensive to maintain. They also require significantly less fuel to move forward, accelerate, and decelerate — and their batteries are generally three times more energy efficient than ICE cars, making them even cheaper to run on a cost-per-mile basis.
In fact, EVs are so economical that they can sometimes pay for themselves in just the first few years of ownership. This is why more and more people are ditching the gas pumps and taking advantage of an electric future with vehicles like the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Bolt EV.
Many EVs use more energy to operate in stop-and-go traffic than highway driving, and adding accessories such as fans or windshield wipers can drain the battery. As a result, drivers should always check the EPA’s estimated EV range for their specific vehicle model.
As electricity demand and capacity continue to grow, a growing number of utilities see an opportunity to take advantage of another benefit of EVs: They can function as portable storage for renewable energy. With vehicle-to-grid technology, an EV’s battery can absorb surplus electricity from the grid during low demand times and return it to the grid during peak demand periods. It’s a smart way to balance out energy production and consumption, which helps keep prices lower for everyone.
