Wow, I am an American, but I lived on Totteridge Drive in High Wycombe from 1966 to 1969! What a wonderful town it was back then, and when I got back to the States I was so far ahead of all the other students in my class that I got through High School in all the Honors Classes. Good memories of High Wycombe, my dad was in the US Air Force at that time. My father was a Master Crew Chief (Aircraft Mechanic) on B-52's and KC-135's, and he taught me to be a mechanic. I went into the US Airforce in 1974, at 17, and became an Aircraft Mechanic on 2 engine jets, or Fighter Jets, I was stationed at Edwards AFB in the California High Desert and then for 3 years at Spangdahlem AB in Germany. I went to Tech School of the F-4D and G models at RAF Alconbury for 6 weeks to learn how to work on F-4 Phantom II Fighters. I taught my son how to work on cars, and today he is a top salesperson for VW in California and builds his own VW Racecars.

Now - like America - it's all be turned around and driven into the dirt because of money. The education system in Britain is about keeping bankers flush with money - as everything is. It's all about student loans and tuition fees. It's an absolute disgrace but this is the way of the Tory. Sadly, even in Scotland where I live, they've gone down the same route. It's politicians with dangerously large egos and dangerously low intellect that are the cause of all of it. They're wrecking the world!

I remember when I was younger learning about how petrol engines worked and not fully understanding it but starting to piece it together as time goes by. I now feel like that again with electric vehicles becoming the next change for transportation. And watching videos like this help explain the fundamentals of how everything works is a real eye opened into the future. Having every part of the battery system laid out and explained in this video reminded me of watching engine rebuild instructions and every part explained and their function in driving the car. There are many people I see on car social media groups who turn their noses up at EV's. But if you're a car enthusiast, then you have to accept that this is going to be the new normal and if you want to be able to tinker/mod or even basically understand how your future car is going to work without relying solely on the dealership, then you need to accept EV's and begin learning about them now. In summary, thanks for making me feel like a kid again.

"A big fire that's really hard to put out" That is an understatement if ever I have heard one. A lithium fire is self oxidising so even when you try to put it out, it just keeps burning. Default way of putting out large lithium fires is to either leave them to burn out or pour concrete over them.

EV technology is still important as it's the future of motorized transport for the masses. I'm sure we'll all be driving them in the near future. I was fascinated by the electric ice cream van. Gives a slight change from fixing oily parts from a traditional car. ICE vehicles will still be available up to around 2060 at that point EVs will be prevalent and petroleum would most likely be "rationed" ( like they did with **** petrol) perhaps to a yearly usage limit or "carbon allowance" of say 5000miles. So us petrol-heads will still be able to tinker with car for a while yet.

Hydrogen is very energy intensive to make, compress and distribute. Fuelcells are very inefficient, overall it's not a viable option for cars. BEVs are about three times more efficient and there are thousands of charging points and you can charge it in your garage. There are exactly 14 hydrogen stations in the UK as of april this year.

I in fact taught at a school last year that banned children using electric pencil sharpeners. Suited me coz the noise drove me nuts - but - unsafe?

My first job, as a 16 year old kid in 1964, was as an electric golf cart mechanic. The carts had 6 6V deep cycle batteries driving an electric motor of either 1.5 or 2 hp at 36 volts. Whilst 36V would not kill you, if your hands were wet, it would give you a tickle. Once I dropped a wrench (spanner) that landed across the end terminals for the 6 batteries and it melted before I could pick it up - thankfully I did not touch it. Since power is equal to volts time amps, higher voltages require fewer amps for the same power. Fewer amps means less power lost in the cables - think ohm's law.

Excellent Information about the electric system of an e-car!

Congratulations fella . Amazing work as always

Says he sets record at Elvington in 2020. But footage says Bruntingthorpe in 2018

I hope Edd will explain the discrepency in a future video.

Well done Ed. Don't touch the terminals with no gloves - it Hertz! Have you got shock-a-lot flavour?

Love the embedded flash narrative....

So interesting and engaging, Ed. I’ve got to be honest, I’m a classic car guy so I was a bit Unexcited at this weeks ‘electric ice cream van update’. But, you made it so interesting and informative. This is the sort of video I hope teachers play at school to get the kids engaged. You’re a true talent and a brilliant man. Wishing you all the success you deserve

Classics are becoming candidates for electric. Not keen on electric myself though.

@@andyrbush I agree, Andy. Plus as a classic car owner myself, half of the pleasure and enjoyment is working on the engine and the nostalgia of the engine purring away. Soul is removed as soon as you plug it in to charge

@@haskyb9184 Modern cars are characterless and all the same. The classics have bags of character and soul and that's why I love them. A classic is supposed to break down occasionally its part of the fun. The electric and hydrogen thing is a total waste of effort. Lots of reasons why.

@@KartsAgainstHumanity The reason that we store food in the cold, and why Greta wears a hat is because life cannot live when its body is below 0C. The reason there is more life in the summers than winters is that life needs to be warmer than minimum ambient temperatures. That is the connection between climate change and CO2 concentrations. Not the other way around. But yes I heard that only 16 mega ships make as much CO2 and all the cars.

The only reason you'd get less miles from the batteries in series is the higher frictional losses. The power is the same, as you'd mentioned, and theoretically should give equal distance only faster, but higher speeds cost higher wind drag. Revolting, I know.

Well done DR Frankenchina, Absolutely brilliant Edd, congratulations and truly well deserved.

Nicely done video. Also thanks for removing all the stuff from the Sprinter just for the purpose of educating us. The Yakety Sax tune from The Benny Hill Show was the icing on the cake (or the cherry as you'd prefer).

Nice one Edd. The only thing missing was you bashing Mike over the head in time to the music as per Benny Hill of old.

You should do the aquarium car. Just put up 4 double perspex outer walls with about 4 Inches of water inside with live fish in the water. You can wear a wetsuit and scuba mask to give the impression you are underwater when you are just inside the rectangle of walls. This will reduce the weight considerably and look the same.

In the interview part, he mentioned that that was their plan but the customer or whatever said it had to be the entire car, not just a cage of water around the driver and that is why they didn't go through with it.

Best explanation I've ever heard of how EV batteries work in vehicles and how to strike a balance between power and range.
