Louis is an addict of cars with no road safety 🙂

8:55 The guy before this clip talks about how he doesn't like big suvs and cars around, and this clip of a guy with his most capable electric 4x4 😅 LOL Louis' edits

Always great watching Louis and Steve together again.

I'm loving watching this journey!! I really want to go to events like this!!

Louis I agree with you that VW should make a more retro looking electric van. I would for sure buy one if they did.

Love to see Louis and Steve together in a vlog! Feels like the old days of daily vlogging

Regarding camping with the VW Buzz. This is the short wheel base. There will be a long wheels base in the future which is probably better suited.

Woohoo! Part 2, so excited!

Wow, this Fully Charged Fair has become huge 😳😌👍!

The positive vibe is just great! I love these videos.

I cannot wait to see how this turns out!

My husband and I both drive electric vehicles… working on solar panels for the house!

Am old enough to remember bubble cars in the 60s with no reverse gear. Watching my teach having to pull it backwards to park. There was also the old blue 'invalid carriages'.

Ken who makes the best 2cv chassis is based in Selby and makes a chassis for a Dutch converter that’ll take Tesla (I believe) batteries between the chassis rails

Hi Louis, when are we going to see if your Van got fixed after your trip across America? Love the channel.

Louis I see 2.5M subscribers on the horizon. Great channel

Loving the Munro apart from the lack of a face. Great value for money.

Omg its Steve on the vlog

Nice colab Louis. Very interesting.

🎶HAPPY 40/10 Louis and Neo! 🥳🎁⚙️📿💗

A lot of great information for those of us in the market for an EV. I really like the Citroen. But so many others to choose from..................>

33 inch ox cart axle defined the roads in Europe, from what I’ve read.

Happy Birthday 🎉

louis and steve just like the old days

Do you have recommendations on where I can sell my 1957 metro Nash? I hear they are very popular over there !

40??? Congrats. I always thought you were 50/55+ 🤣 Thanks for showing us arouund. Most cars I knew already from other channels. Since I'm converting myself I'm more interested in talks about detailled solutions within the converting process...

Love this one bro

Great video friend.

Amazing!!

So fun. ❤

That thing @12:50 is just a clone of the BMW isetta, that didn’t really work back in the sixties either due to the obvious lack of space.

I love car expo ! 😍💖

nice love your family.

What do they do with all of the old lithium batteries? How do they dispose of them do you know?

Car batteries often have a second life in industry where there are used as storage, often big banks in shipping containers. EV batteries are also recycled, it’s much cheaper than mining new material. Not many batteries are available for recycling though. They are performing better than forecast.

this year xmas drive again? with upgraded veh?

I agree about the new VW van..isimilar to the modern beetle.. it has a sense of the old beetle, but no.. it's not like the old beetle.

Why not get something like a Vito and convert it into a campervan or look at what ame did in just a standard transit van

£15000 for a Microlino bubble car...& I wouldn't like to be in a front end accident in that car..

Its a tiny things isnt it but I like that, kind of reminds me of a peel p50, that I saw years ago on Top Gear.

Interesting fact. The bubble car was used to smuggle people from east Berlin to the west, during the cold war. I can't recall the name of the driver.

Barnaby was on below deck and at the end of season said he was starting a business in Electric cars. Mad he is so close

I like the older VW built way better can run forever, new VW is kinda iffy

What happened to your electric camper van you got so close before you broke down for the final time

Err "Fully Charged" is created by the tv-robot turned KZreadr Robert Llewellyn, if you like EVs and related stuff it's worth checking out

Everyone wants an original VanGo. 😆

@alisonshellum9870 yes great point , I had a subscription for a car service in my street that I used sometimes for day rent. Fun to try different cars for sure, but as I was not looking to buy a car it turned out too expensive in the end. In a year it would be cheaper for me to take a taxi or uber regularly, so I think it's a matter of goal, needs, location and subscription price for a longer period. In Denmark a 3 years lease for small petrol car starts at £ 200 a month.

Are the majority of people crossing the vast landscape daily or are they doing local commutes?

I think calling the bubble car a new concept is a little bit of a lie, as it is an electric copy paste of the Heinkel Kabine from the 50s So isn't it more of a reinvention than something new ?

It's a 200 mile range really not what it should be.

The biggest issue is still the amount batteries (and materials needed for it) that need to be made and the woeful inadequate charging network we need...for which we also still need way more copper than we have even delved on average. I really like EV's for most of the drives people do. But I still don't see it happening in the pace people are thinking it will. Just in copper wire for charging network alone we need like 2x of the yearly production.....those are not numbers that are realistic.

lol VW buzz Relatively affordable lol love the joke. If that's affordable I have a few Bridges I'd like to sell you. It'll be so much better when economies of scale push down EV prices to reasonable levels. I have a Megane EV and even that was a bit much really but I just didn't like all the issues the cheaper MG4 was/is having.

iD Buzz = £50-60k

This guy absolutely looks like a guy who’s parents had a 2CV 😅

I'm surprised this channel is still around....

Im sorry but men that are 6 feet tall and a little more mass will not want to buy one of them micro cars.. its no good for posture or the way your needs are up .. haha

The guy that talked about Oslo doesn’t know what the f he’s talking about😭

VW ID is a complete joke and will never be a camper van - makes so much more sense to convert a tesla cybertruck!

Food for Louis is better then this new channel 😑

I like the designs but you seem to want to convert ALL of the most unsafe vehicles to electric!🤔

If you Already here then you are reading this comment thank you

Where are they going to dispose the batteries once they die? I’d say a high percentage of ev’s are still charged off fossil fuel. Electric vehicles aren’t the answer

@stevesmith7037

Жыл бұрын

Battery recycling and repurposing is a quickly growing industry, Fully Charged has videos on battery recycling if you’re curious. The great thing about EVs is that they get cleaner as the grid gets cleaner. Fossil fuel emissions don’t just start at the tailpipe. What people don’t take into account about petrol is the production emissions/environmental impacts as well as the massive transport involved in distribution.

I was watching an interesting video the other day where someone used an old Nissan leaf battery as a domestic storage battery. It had degraded so was no use for a car, but still had plenty of capacity to use as a solar domestic battery. Actually tempted to look into this myself.

I get we are in a transition phase , but just read about Sodium-ion batteries that are a relatively new Battery Technologies in 2023 that uses sodium ions instead of lithium ions to store and convert energy. They offer a low cost, high safety, and a long cycle life. Should be much more sustainable to source and make.

Who cares of your opinion, really ?
