This video was brought to you by Marcus Be elmech a planner Stone B Camp power And B Component yo what's up this is Neo et5 Touring in this video I'm going to check How far I can go during winter so we Will also check the battery capacity Because I wonder you know these Batteries they they they have the Battery swap print so they are in a pool Of batteries but they're not that many More batteries than their cars So Eventually the batteries they will Degrade so I've been getting around 86 KW hour um nowadays but previously a Couple of years ago with the es8 I got 88 KW hour so they might have been some Degradation since then and what about Now okay and then yeah uh also maybe We'll test the sound system we'll see uh But this et5 touring which is a station Wagon should be more or less the same as The regular et5 except for slightly more Space so they say that from here until The B pillar is the exactly same And then in the back of course you have This box shape that is the Germans love And also Norwegians so yeah this has the Potential to be Norway favorite I love The car man I freaking love the car I've Been driving it a lot already on several Trips to alal and also yo and now we do The range test so we plugged in now Since we are going to check the battery
Capacity this is always weird man Um I need to charge it back up to 100% You see there's a an arrow there Normally you press that part or that Part to open the door so man think about This this is well at least the et5 it's Supposed to be some kind of model 3 Rival and yeah well now the Highland is Out then Le Highland has maybe a slight Chance to try to match this one but oh Oh yeah I forgot to show see we Have soft CLA do we have that in model 3 No we have massage we Have perfume huh huh uh ventilated seat Okay um pretty cool ambient light here In the back also good space in the back There nice seats this is really an Awesome car we have numi car so yeah I'm Now charging at 11 KW it will finish in 9 minutes and the weird thing about the Neo is that I use the app and I can Preheat via the app I can show you maybe The app here um I have it here okay here You have lots of cool features via the App I think you can even preheat the Battery via the app you look Here but when I Preheat here uh and I'm plugged in then It doesn't pull extra power from the Plug so that's why we we are H what the Heck are we at 99% or are we at 98% Yeah so it drained itself down to 98% so I had to replug in and now it's charging
So okay um just wait a little bit then And then I got to show the plan is that Um See normally I would start at doll I Doll is okay one thing I don't like About this map is that you have to zoom So far if it's like in Google Maps or Something else you will see start seeing Town names whatever right city names Here just know by heart that this is Ion Doll is over here normally we start here And then we drive the loop but right now There is some uh B I don't know but There are some kind of Road works here And here so we will start from here Instead it doesn't matter and then we do The test on this Dr wait huh what is This one also closed huh can we can we Click on it nine okay whatever so wait a Little bit more until we finish charging Then ah I know it's going to go from 98% To D 100% Finished okay let's check the weight of The car the regular one is 2320 1160 oh okay okay what about the back is The back Heavier oh it seems like it's around 20 Kg heavier in the back then well that's Where the extra box Is all right uh here we have plenty of Chargers I'm not going to use them yet So um yeah we spent 9 kwatt hours so This car is a little bit silly uh it
Doesn't have a proper trip meter like Most other cars you have something here Um yeah you have here some last 10 km Last this is typically Chinese stuff man That they have just this so uh what We're going to do is we'll just count How many kilowatt hour we use on each Segment and then we figure out the total Stuff so one way to reset this there is No reset button is to Unbuckle uh just open the Door lift the butt and then close the Door wait didn't do this properly on no No yeah I forgot I forgot uh yeah and Then lift the butt and then lock the Door so the the car doesn't know I'm Here and then I sit down yeah surprise Supplies okay now we reset let's Go okay how's M today Oh not too much wind they've been Getting a wind from the north yeah okay It's about to turn wind for the south Soon all right uh – 1° C Surface um not Sure I I should call this wet this is Quite typical uh for winter there's a Lot of salt smooth Fest on the surface Let me see I'm checking GPS be 119 okay I have to go slightly faster 124 and the Speedle yeah then 120 okay all that's Good look we have auto lane Change Oh look at That That's what the what the heck was that I
Was going to demonstrate something cool Here okay maybe I should have what I Have to hold a steering wheel is that it Okay I need to hold a steering Wheel what is the point of M L change if You okay uh well yeah yeah okay that's It it works kind of let's try again go Back okay okay okay then it changes Lane Yeah wow look at this beautiful Landscape so you know previously with Neo um when you use Auto St oh what the Heck was that it was oncoming schutz From the other side oh damn I got hit I Got Hit okay uh I had to expect once I'm Back but it's probably just uh snow Rock uh yeah okay Anyway um previously with Neo the Auto St would be super annoying okay now we Have nice and smooth and and uh straight Road but if there's a little bit of Twist like actually in the past before We got here the car was slow down like a Toyota driver now it's going way better More like the German cars it just goes The speed we're supposed to go Almost Doesn't slow down um uh there's however A small annoyance still which is this One is not smooth you see that it goes Up and down all the time it just Fluctuates up and down uh hopefully if They can fix that one then then we are Getting closer and closer to perfection
And the noise level are pretty good so We have nuke and hakita R five tires They're quiet but uh overall I feel like Uh this is a nice and comfortable car Also suspension has been set to be Somewhat soft so uh closer to what you Can find in for example the BMV I4 but Uh you know yeah this could possibly be A BMV I4 rival uh it cost less though Than the I4 well it depends if you go For bus or not it has similar Comfort Levels and also similar performance Actually has the I4 M50 but it has way more space I4 is Like um it's a fossil car that's been Forcefully muted into EV but this one is Based on a new platform and also this is What what they call again the N nt2 PL What the version two platform the new Platform and and design language that Looks more minimalistic than the Previous generation where is the um Es8 we almost done now and yeah um on The second thought this surface here Looks fairly dry I mean it's not 100% Dry but it's not that wet so I think I Would cut T cut categorize it as a dry Road not wet Road not sure if you guys Agree but uh the dictator has spoken It's going to be dry Road we are back at s and the distance Was 71.5 km and we spent 19.2 KW hour That becomes 269 wat hour per kilometer Oo this car is bit
Thirsty okay despite not being SUV okay Let's um see and then it wasn't that Cold also Okay let's do the 90 test Then well we're on the move again now we Have to cruise at 93 km/ hour it's still Doing the whole dance here up and down Yeah but um yeah so this time we're Going to go to rots Huga and back again So the car will estimate how many Percent you will arrive with but it's Not a very good estimation at all it Seems like it totally ignores pretty Much any conditions that it should take In Account uh it will just take okay and Then it goes like this if we just take The current vtp range which is also not Adjusted for gum or anything like that And then minus the distance to uh over There and then find out how many Kilometers that is and that would be the Destination so if you're hammering it if You're pulling a trailer it will just Disregard everything but at least it Gives you some indication what you will Arrive with as long as you drive like a Grandma Yeah okay let's test the sound System [Music] [Music] Sounds pretty good nice base maybe lacks A little bit of that punch but good mid
Base also but in the et5 I noticed that There was some kind of rattling Resonance from the trunk when they play This one seems like some frequency Trigger some some resonance so let's see If it happens here [Music] [Music] Also I can hear slight resonance Something rattling but it's not that bad Uh it's weird because this one has a Same subwoof placement just like the Regular Et5 uh but overall it sounds pretty good Good detail okay this guy has a little Bit bright voice how will he Sound are you Lening cuz I don't want to waste your Time this sounds Pleasant I don't know if you can hear But um I feel like the base is a little Bit overwhelming uh too loud for my Twist I'm I'm a base Hunter even but Just this is a bit too much for Me now let's listen to this one I'm Going to skip a little bit listen for Some uh Rattling Yeah yeah you have Rattling the whole car just rattles when The when the this type of Base goes and Then last one here this is some deep Space yeah it it sounds great but it Just that a little bit overwhelming it
Just overshadows everything else in the Music so actually what I prefer is to uh Use a slight um I use another E EQ Setting to to tone down on the base okay Enable it now now it Sounds okay now this one one just comes Okay and now it sounds better so if I Switch over for example to uh this One and then let's See AIT then it sounds better in my opinion But uh I've been listening to this Stereo a lot and I get the impression That the mid base is is nice but it's a Bit boomy there's something some Boominess here that I don't find in the Highend system like uh eqs or uh well um Ke reference system but it sounds still Pretty good yeah and uh you just have to Tune a bit but overall nice and clear And as long as you just tun it for your Taste then you can enjoy many many hours Of Music in this Car wait what the there's like a tiny Bit of rain no I'm not sure if this is Even rain uh And then suddenly I got the message uh Lighter blocked I couldn't catch it in Time but see clean Lighter what I mean I experienced this When I went to yo but that was more Mountain Place stuff here we are on the Lowland and we have block RAR huh over Here the man huh I mean how easy is
It to get the lighter blocked Really huh I have to drive manual I was Trying to get as even speed as possible Uh but you can't do that right now and I Don't think you can even go uh dumb Cruise control so and also of course Yeah I I have to drive manual now Sh okay one trick is use speed limit Mode set to 93 and now we are just cruising at 93 But if I floor it you can get out of the Speed limit so it's it's not like a hard Limit like Tesla you know that one is Like for valet and but this is Actually the limiter Yeah wait wait look look it works again Okay yes Hallelujah the lighter has been Cleansed I haven't even stopped to clean It uh and it's -2° iide maybe it's a Self cleaning liar we have wait it Happened Again light huh light up What look look at the weather it's a Freaking snowstorm outside I don't know Man it's clear sky well almost uh nice Weather but still block Radar well maybe they don't have winter In China oh and look now we can enable Pilot Again well well Well oh I C it look at this take over Now light up BL oh go shutting down down Sh oh
Okay well yeah I had it working for a Little bit for about a minute and then This time the camera is ready to catch This I guess we're back to speed limit Mode then Yeah okay we're done with the test we Used 16.6 KW hour distance is reported As 80.8 it's supposed to be around 82 km So this car under reports by 1% I need To do the corrections but uh yeah we're Down to 50% but let's check out the liar Then oh I see the problem you see here The cameras here they are cleaned by the Wiper but the lighter has no cleaning Possibility so schutz uh just gathers up There accumulates and then right lighter Is blocked uhoh uh also these cameras Are blocked now um yeah so I'll clean it I have some wiper juice here and how the Heck do Man this is great use Experience always be cleaning Liar there okay I just scratched the Lighter glass now okay now to go over The other side but there guys see the Difference huh so you have to go out and Clean the liar or maybe okay I think the Problem is that uh Neo they don't have Salt schuts Fest in uh China so I don't Know if they salt the roads or not but This stuff here Norwegians when they see This they instantly recognize this this Is quite common I mean schuts not Lighter getting
Blocked I mean it wasn't that much dirt I mean I've seen more than this okay let Me show you uh typical in the back here You will see that this this is proper Okay me just just demonstrate how much a Lot of Schmutz Is now that's proper so you know uh you Can actually get a lot more dirt in the Front here during winter so that's just Peanuts and if that little dirt is Enough to knock out the liar then maybe Tesla vision would be better okay and Every time I start a car before I drive Go here swipe down driver C alert off Distraction alert off driver s swipe Down over speed alert off and then press Mold button and then put it on standard Regen okay let's go okay we're almost Done with the test and we heading Towards cleavage we we're going to Battery swap wait no come on there we Suppos to ride with 0% hm interesting But we have 3% left so uh it seems like We right with uh 1 or 2% not 0% so then eventually we need to count How many kilowatt hour spend on yeah This segment here plus all the other Segments and then estimate the Remaining we're here at the Swap station So we have spent 38. 8 KW hour on this Section and then we have uh 2% left 11 Yeah that's 2% okay now I need to start Oops sorry Um go here and then just place it in the
Square start please park your vehicle Manually the start area of Power Swap And then press the brake T okay no not Happy I had to be inside there Okay right go Wait huh is it not I'm in I'm in I'm in I'm in the Clear wa wait a me back wait start Please park your vehicle manually into The start area of Power Swap and then Press the brake pedal um I don't know Why it doesn't work this time I I nicely Done okay now you can tap to start Park We are parking now all right be aware of Your surroundings all right kid do not Open any door or take over the steering Wait I need to be aware of my Surroundings brake panel to control the Speed but you are parking for me why do I have to be aware of the surroundings Oh okay uh I think what it means is that Uh it means is that um if I'm about to Crash into someone Then I need to break right you know That's the liability problem if the auto Parking is active now and I don't know There is an unall and we crash into a Tesla who's at fault is it the car Or is it the driver I know that is if This system was Tesla Tesla will blame The driver so hopefully Neo will uh Blame the car Right okay oh Yeah vehicle park all right all is good
I've done this many times before so I Know the drill please Wait self inspection is there a dude There now no there's no dude here Today wait what the heck connection Error between vehicle and power huh Retry preparing please wait what the Heck is that I mean I arrived with low Juice before in case uh yeah there's Something that shut down because of low Ste Char no huh what the heck they do Now I'm taking up the slot here and the Car won't connect to the swap Station what the heck man contact Service e call for huh what what What the heck man what do you do now I'm Stuck here I'm stuck he H What what is It okay it's been spinning like this for A while now uh let's go steering wheel Okay yeah right I have I've done all That stuff do not open the door for the Power up to complete okay I haven't open The door uh do not engage any gear okay I haven't done that wait to the seat Okay okay there's dude there's dude he's Gonna help me make noise it works now This is normal yeah there was a dude Open any door or press break was a dude They came out from nowhere uh there's a Probably reason why Neo hired this dude To be here and that there's an opening Hour between uh 7 and uh 22 because in
Case something happens then he stand by To fix yeah but it's okay now I don't Know what the heck happened it was a Hiccup I swapped over here many times Before with the same car yeah the dude Here asked me hey have you SWA it before Yet is this a press car yes okay now we Are swapping that's Good we're done we have 90% battery wooo Green light oh Yeah all Good then you have to be careful me my Anyone here NOP anyone here no okay Let's go all right we're back home now So yeah based on the test today I Measure that we have 85.8 KW hour that Is on part what I've seen before it Seems like it's impossible to get 88 KW Hour from the NE batteries I suspect Maybe the batteries have degraded so it Would be interesting to try let's say a Branch Banking new car in 3 years after It swapped then how many kilowatt hour Do we get H okay anyway um and then when It comes to range yeah it's still pretty Good range because we have 100 Kow hour Battery you know even for winter it's Good range but I feel like this car is a Little bit uh well I wouldn't call it Thirsty but uh it it's not as efficient As the most efficient cars out there Most efficient cars they'll be hovering Around 170 180 W hour per kilm in the 90 Test and it wasn't that cold today also
And you saw that it was fairly dry so Yeah but at least now we tried it this One versus the non touring and for me Man I love this car it's uh it's it's Sporty and still spacious and it's not a Freaking SUV because everyone in the Mother they buys SUV and crossover Nowadays but I'm not an SUV guy I'm a Touring guy or I'm a I'm a station wagon Guy so this is right down my alley so if Neo can just fix some of the software Annoyances that that that be great yeah So anyway I think 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
Electric Vehicles Power the Electricity Grid
EVs convert about 59-62 percent of the energy from the grid into turning the wheels, compared to just 17-21 percent for gasoline combustion vehicles. Using less energy makes EVs more efficient and significantly cheaper to operate.
As the number of EV models continues to increase, it is becoming easier and more convenient for people to go all-electric. Today, most EV charging happens at home because of the convenience and cost savings versus public charging, but as battery ranges continue to grow it will become even more practical for drivers to ditch their gas-burning cars for good.
New EVs are also a good fit for community members with limited access to parking at their homes, like renters. Earthjustice is working with cities to expand EV charging infrastructure in places where most people park, including shopping centers, office parking garages and workplaces, so that people who can’t charge at home can still have the opportunity to drive an electric car.
The city of Seattle, for example, is urging its residents to use electric vehicles and hopes they will make up a third of the cars on its roads by 2030. As they do, the Seattle-area will need more recharging stations, especially ones that are open to all people who want to charge their vehicles, not just those with garages. EVs can also help the electricity grid by serving as storage during times of excess renewable energy production through two-way “vehicle-to-grid” technology, reducing demand and bringing down the price for everybody in the community.
