This video was brought to you by Marcus Be elmech a planner Stone b c power and B component yo what's up behind me here Is see Neo et5 touring and this video We're going to drive to yo you know it Has the 100 KW battery and this is not An SUV so should be efficient right Should being the keyword Here and then I want to see can we Actually drive to Yo and back again or At least Drive pretty far we'll see okay The car wants me to go in okay okay I Charge the car to 100% And then okay it's going to fire up Now wait uh I just navigated to yo but I Might have to rigate again because uh The whole OS just stopped now software Update compl okay okay okay search for It so okay yellow right so see we have 100% the car claims 513 kilm it's just a Fixed rate it's not uh adjusted for Anything and then if you navigate to Yo The car will tell you that you will Arrive at 48% really um but it just does Some simple math not even Asian M it Takes 513 km minus 278 and I think that should be 234 and Then the figures at 24 34 is 48% so I Have my doubts that we'll arrive at 48% Probably right with 30% uh wild guess okay um we start on a Little bit odd time now almost 4: in the Morning but at least uh by the time we Get there and then we will have a little
Bit of daylight uh before actually some Of the worst traffic starts but actually No that should be after traffic what Whatever it's been snowing during the Night now I Might I'm not sure if the snow has Stopped already but uh hopefully we will Encounter some snowy weather we're going To see how how can this car handle a Snow will some of the radar be blocked Can neop pilot be used okay let's uh Reset everything here and then off we Go we are on the move and this is Depressive what no no what okay um it See the car is trying to detect some Lane it found something it found a lane And but it didn't it doesn't understand What the heck is going on in the left And right but it sees something in the Center here and actually LC's see is Activated what oh it struggles it Struggles uh okay this is weird because It it keeps keeps losing it but then it Takes a while and then it it re-enables It yeah so okay it's um at least it's Working better than most other cars but It would be interesting oh okay then It's then it drops again so yeah I Wonder how Tesla would do it in these Situations because Tesla is the best I'm Just kidding just trolling with you guys Okay calm down calm down guys oh Look at This we have proper winter weather now
Oh would be nice to have winter Tires on right [Music] [Applause] Now [Music] [Applause] [Music] We are now at hog and um doing a little Checkpoint here see this car doesn't Well I mean it shows you consumption but It's um a rolling average so how much Did we spend did we spend 249 watt hour Per K or did we spend spend uh 5 57 wat Hour per k um no but if you look at this One consumption since uh just same and Then we look at distance here we worked Out that uh this cars spend well Actually quite a lot but we went uphill Uh it was 231 wat hour per kilm wow wait H Corner was more efficient wasn't it so We're down to 40% no actually no but Corner had a smaller Battery uh but um uh it's almost 7:00 in The morning but I thought I could stay Awake but seems like I need to take a Nap and what better car is it to take a Nap than in Neo so I will show you You go to driving and Parking and then you swipe up here and Then you find power keep mode or Camp Mode whatever you just whatever that Works power keepy mode for example on Then you see the lights went off and
Yeah now we can uh nap I can fire up the Light again here so it's not you know I Like these trips way better than 1,000 K Challeng because it's not always a St We're not timing anything we're just Going there and then we go back so now I Can take a nap just have to pull out my Um where is it stor bik here I have a Stor B pillow it's quite compact when It's in this uh non-inflated uh State And then we just inflate it and then go To sleep a little Bit oh man I slept uh a While you can see the glass that can Turn turn uh dark or what I think I have It on the darkest now you see the Difference anyway um so when we camped Here it was was almost two over 2 hours Ago around 2 hours and 15 minutes ago Since we Camped um a calculator we use 3.2 KW Hour during the time and that means that Uh the average consumption was uh 1.4 KW During camping hm okay it's – 6° Outside and we went from 40% to 36% so Maybe as a compensation uh I can charge Up to uh 40% uh yeah so we can see how far we can Go just uh yeah but let's get over to Yu Then we are still 10 km away from Yu oh okay over here is not that much Snowy it was actually s oh okay was It was it was slippy and snower earlier Around uh floor yeah on the way here but
It is slightly slippery in the road I I Can feel now oh the car slips a little Bit we have – 6° c and yeah you would Think that uh we have good grip on the Road here well think again because it Slips a slight sideways o would be great To have winter tires on right now oh Well I can test this surface a little Bit how does the car behave on snow Oh okay let me see if I regen does it do A we no okay it regions on all four Wheels that's Good also when I try to accelerate in The cursor okay it's it's a little bit Slippery going see what happen if I try To accelerate in the curve Here okay no crazy stuff going on oh is It slippery Here yeah it is slippy I can feel it okay okay I can I can just Yeah oh you oh he go it wants to go Sideways oh it wants to go sideways okay See if I try to break hard Now yeah yeah it is a bit slippery here Yeah okay but it's just that yeah this Is the problem you know the over drive Gives you sense of false security Because it it actually accelerates quite Fast that's amazing good traction Control good uh power distribution uh But suddenly when you are in the curve You feel that you're sliding sideways uh Probably because the car is a bit Heavy I haven't checked the weight yet
Let me see so you don't want to go too Fast around the curves here um on the Race truck that's safer because then if You slide a bit sideways you just end up In the snow right or but Here and up the ditches that let me see Okay oh go go going try something but we Have oncoming cars but of course it Would be more interesting to try this if It was snowy on the road but I mean even Now it's Oh okay well it's actually better to try Downhill but that's a bit more that's a Bit scarier if it try this downhill Let's see okay okay um let me try to Just floor it a little bit now see what Happens it's not it's not going to Wiggle the tail okay that's that's the Thing um if this was r let's say Tesla Re drive it would wiggle a tail a bit Here it seems like it just grips grips Really Well that's good but let's see now but The other way what about regening okay Go let me find this one okay regen hard Oh oh nothing weird happens oh nice nice You would uh yeah yeah yeah okay let's Try again Um this curve maybe okay reading hard Nothing Happens okay It doesn't look slippery right until you Try to break Hard yeah yeah it is okay and then try
To accelerate hard Now yeah okay should we trying to hammer That uh yeah let's Go oh man this is a great winter car Yeah it is a great winter car except for That uh you have to remember the weight Yeah but uh based on the test now and Also based on earlier when it was snowy Um my impression is that it it is well Balanced it has good grip I mean I mean Acceleration wise you know uh sticks Like uh glue like that uh But just goes a little bit [Music] Sideways yeah man those winter Tires would be great Man we are now at s k yeah yo and uh Yeah so we arrived here with 31% if we Would have napped it would be 35% uh but Actually this is not a strict range test Or anything um first I thought about Plugging in but you know what you see we Have plenty of chargers Here There and Behind us here yeah wait can you see it Yeah but I will not plug in because this Is the part of the yellow test is that We want to cool down the M battery as Much as possible even the nap okay was Unintentional but everything that cools Down the battery is good we want to see If we get any crazy limp mode you know When I drove um Neo Et7 uh I think that was last year to um Alval it was- 21° C and uh towards the
End I think I had even 8% left it went Into the red limp mode uh so it would be Interesting to see if this car will do The same thing or if they fixed it so One thing we can do uh once we get Deeper now is that if you go here press Press and hold this One you get this screen and then you Shift over to this one okay here this is The one it says power remaining 286 KW That's still good once it drops below 100 KW or 50 KW then it would be Interesting and does this one have the Neo crawl which is that eventually Before the battery dies you only get 5 Kilow is it going to happen I mean is it Going to be like a Corner the Cora crawl I would call It okay well let's See yeah let's include some uh thermal Camo shots this is Fleer one oh look at Oh yeah the car is nice and warm let me See if you look in the front do you see Anything interesting here is there radar Here oh yeah yeah yeah seems like There's something that is heated right Around here right um the surface should Be cold now close to ambient temperature If you try to point towards the sign Here or something Or Um but there's something here 2° C it Reports um for example in the bumper the Camera oh okay wow the camera seems to
Have oh that one seems heated 5° 6° Celsius okay you can see closer what it Looks Like and then if I point to something That Is a zero okay right we look at that one Yeah and then we have the the front Here let's see if I get any good shot if I go closer oh that one is also heated Who that one stays at 20 wow 20° C how how much energy is Needed to keep all this stuff heated man Look at all this camera you can see in The back also so yeah man but the car Looks so nice oh look at that sexy Butt and also you can see in the back Here um also the back of camera here is Heated wow that one stays fairly War wo There's like a hot spot there let me try To get a good Reading 14 15° C And you can see that it has chipped off A Piece so that one is definitely Working see the car keeps everything Heated that's good um let me uh check on The Side yeah what about the brakes are they Now they are cold yeah they're nice and Cold okay h r five what the heck what is This huh okay anyway I think we could Good now oh yeah I almost forgot you Have to check oh no no no the car went
Into this uh you can't just Well Normally you can okay good let's open The oh let's open the doors check it out We have soft closed also I turn off uh Turn on the seat heaters and let's see Oh yeah look at that so we have nice Heating there and also in the Back on that side but cers only exist on The left and right not in the middle Seat I don't know if that Matters okay and then let's check out The front Seats yeah pretty Similar people say it looks like Skeleton um but it I mean I feel like It's a little bit poor uh there is no Elements on the side when I tested on um I think it was model X yeah Optimus Prime the the side bolsters on this one And also that part here will also be Heated and then uh you see that the we Have heated the steering wheel Also uh okay you see if you put the car In reverse and you go into the 360 Camera you see that every camera is Clear despite that we draw through snow Earlier or last night or earlier yeah Wow so this is good it seems like Neo They have thought of lots of things Maybe not everything but at least when It comes to the camera part they want to Keep all the cameras clear oh is a Bit Overexposed see better now [Music]
[Applause] [Applause] [Music] Nice [Music] We are getting close to Nest Buon and uh Oh there's a little bit of frozen rain Right now and after just a few minutes It's just tiny droplets not even that Much I I've been through way worse with A classic ionic I remember but a little Bit of uh droplets um was able to block The radar lar wait can I is it huh wait Wa wait wait clear lighter Before what what the what what was the Point of all the heating of everything In front there if the lighter is blocked By just a little bit of uh frozen Rain huh what come on come on it's Heated right so it should eventually Okay okay stop back me it should Eventually melt the lar uh I'm I'm too Lazy to stop and clear it but um Yeah okay we documented that a little It's I don't know if you guys can even See it but there is a little bit of uh Stuff on the wind screen now yeah frozen Rain so that's enough to knock out the RAR Apparently oh yeah look look look look Yes the Bing Bong is back wait wait Detecting lines wait uh how there there There there yeah now it locks on yep so It took around 5 10 minutes for the
Lighter to melt the whatever it had There so maybe the lighter is quite Sensitive for uh what can be blocked for It to operate H but man this is confusing okay so I Have 14% uh battery left we are down to 140 KW power limit I wonder how far we Can drive we should go deep yeah we Should go deep but this is uh very Confusing when I look at this the car Added a charging stop automatically I Wanted to go to floor which is over There but the car automatically adds a Stop in Brma uh and also what is weird is that It wants me to charge from 9% to 80% and then we will Drive a few kilometers over to floor and I will arrive with 76% huh what is the whole logic behind This if they're trying to copy Tesla They should try Harder or actually most other cars there Which has some some uh uh charging Planner they will charge just enough With a little bit of margin and then you Go to the next one but also I didn't Find a way to disable this uh feature I Don't want it to add charging stops Automatically for me and now it becomes A little bit confusing uh the distance To floor but I think we have to take This one add AR this one plus that one So we are 22 km away from floor and we
Have 72 km of range yeah we're good Then um another car uh tells me that I Will arrive at floor with 77% but I have 12% battery because I Skipped that last charging stop that the Car thought I would charge at for 44 Minutes um well this is very confusing So it shouldn't display it like this if It should just take whatever charger Have left and say that oh you will Arrive with 6% or whatever not uh uh Okay and then it goes away super Annoying man okay Whatever we are now in floor and we have 8% left still around 100 110 Kow power Limit and we're going to Yol it we're Going to go for Goul uh that's 12 km away can we make it There the car claims 44 km that's plenty Right okay let's go let's Go
Electric City Vehicles (EVs)
About
Tesla
Ford GM Power Manufacturing
A number of major automakers have invested in building electric vehicles for customers to purchase, lease or rent. EVs are more efficient than traditional cars and trucks, so they produce far fewer emissions. Unlike fossil fuel-powered vehicles, EVs can be recharged from a variety of sources. With the right charging infrastructure, these vehicles can be plugged in and driven to work or the store without making a stop at a gas station.
EVs are quieter than gasoline vehicles, so they can be used for transportation without disrupting the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, they require significantly less maintenance than their ICE counterparts. For instance, a battery-powered vehicle can be serviced at a brick-and-mortar authorized dealer or through a mobile service network.
One of the most important considerations when shopping for an EV is its range, which is typically listed as a combined city/highway rating in terms of kilowatt-hours per 100 miles. This estimate is based on EPA testing, but it can vary depending on your driving habits and conditions. For example, cold weather or extensive accessory use can significantly reduce an EV’s driving range.
Another factor is the state of the energy grid where you live. While Earthjustice attorneys are working hard to bring 100% clean energy, the majority of states’ electricity still comes from fossil fuels, and the national average is below the EPA’s goal of 88 mpg. However, if everyone switches to EVs that can be charged on a clean, renewable-energy powered grid, we’ll make significant progress in reducing pollution and climate change.
