Also, most of the US power grid uses natural gas which also burns cleaner than coal, for example (although still not perfect). So to put it simply, it's much cleaner to have one central power location that burns fuel much more efficiently than having thousands of mini power plants each producing pollution as they drive around. And before it's brought up, yes, the research has also shown that EVs are in fact still cleaner overall even when taking manufacturing and production into account.

I can tell Marquez is a tech guy. He sees the tech in cars, not necessarily the feel.

One thing that sucks about today's EVs is they are relatively slow to charge; too slow for truly luxurious long distance travel. Around here the most common place I see big luxurious Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Maybach cars (almost all 4 door sedans) is cruising at high speeds down our 4+ lane divided highways. It is close to a 500 mile, 7.5 hour drive, at the speed limit, between the two big cities they tend to travel between. I'm sure an EV Bentley, Rolls, or Maybach would make an awesome short distance daily driver (just like they do for us plebeians), but I don't believe they would be very good for those fast, long distance cruises. I notice Bentley has stated that by 2030 they will have an all electric line. I'm sure in a few years from now charging will be fast enough for high speed traveling Bentley EVs to make sense, but IMO not yet...

These buyers domt care about extra EV costs, they dont have to worry about range or charging - they have drivers to manage these things - and more than anything the silence is a huge selling point, Rolls have been renowned for their total quiet for decades.

These cars need to be ready at any time, and in Pakistan at least, still no sign of ev in the government, or a Range Rover for that matter. Time is far more important for company execs and government officials than some insulation.

Where hybrids really shine is in stop and go rush hour traffic. A neighbor had a 2006 Toyota Highlander Limited with the V6 and I have a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited with the same V6. Back when we both were driving them daily (I still am) we compared our fuel economy numerous times. On the highway he got about 22mpg and hybrid version gets about 25mpg. It is better, but not that much. In rush hour stop and go traffic though, the difference is incredible; and the worse the traffic is, the bigger the difference. In reality bad rush hour traffic his V6 version often got as little as 10mpg according to his trip computer (confirmed using the gas pump). On those same days my hybrid would get as much as 47mpg (US gallons too). The worse the traffic and the slower the drive is, the more time my hybrid will spend with the engine off and the more time using the electric motors.

Would you review the Fiat 500E? I am so curious to hear your thoughts on it and feel like it would be something completely different for the channel 😅 Test drove it in Europe - was fascinating.

You gave a better review than Bentley rep in the showroom! Just ordered one for 2024 summer!

The asymmetric locations of the charge port and gas door would drive me crazy! WHY?!?!

ugh this car is so sexy - can't decide whether i want to drive it or be driven around in it

Idk if anyone noticed, but the minute he closes the door on the Bentley when he’s inside it the background noise is completely eliminated

Ngl each time he got out of that car that sky looked really beautiful

I’m guessing that they don’t make it electric because it would need a super massive battery. 20 miles from an 18kWh battery is absurd… You would need a 270kWh battery to have a 300 mile range on that car. That’s almost 3 Model S or 4 Model 3 long range worth of batteries.

@@BennnWJK to replace them completely, sure… But most of the vehicles on the road could be perfectly replaced by current tech EVs. And for most people it would even be a better user experience. Also, I’m pretty sure there’s something very wrong with this particular car in the electric drivetrain. 1.1 mile per kWh is absurdly low. Even the Rivian R1T (with much worse aerodynamics and weight) does over 2 miles per kWh… And Hummer EV, which the least efficient EV on the market, is still 50% more efficient than the Bentley 🤔

Mercedes EQS can comfortably hit 300+ miles of range with just over 100kwh battery pack. Hyundai IONIQ 6 is also not far behind even though it has a 77kwh battery. Not sure wether you are living in the current world??

Bentleys may actually eventually switch to being full electric for sound and luxury reasons but I don't think the tech is there yet. The downsides of an electric vehicle is a huge risk for a coach design car company. Failing parts? It's probably not owned long enough for them to wear out. Charge time? Availability of Compatible Quick chargers? That seems like a risk when reputation and prestige is all that keeps people buying these things. Volkswagen Group will get there but I'm betting the coach built stuff will be the very last.

They will release their first EV in 2025. By 2026 they will only produce Hybrids and EVs and by 2030 they transition to only producing EVs.

Would love to see some shots of the car driving.

My family had this choice. We chose the v8 s model, as my family didn't want to deal with the plug in factor. Great car all around! Let me know if you want to review the v8 version :)

I am one of many Bentley drivers/ Buyers who watch your channel. If this car were 100% Electric I would be online configuring my order while continuing to watch the rest of this video. As you know, given Rimacs somewhat recent acquisition of Bugatti and Porsche stake in ownership, we know that the entire VW brand (from Bugatti, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche, Audi to VW) all will benefit from Rimacs Electrification. Also, given Rolls Royce announcement to go all electric, Bentley is now under huge pressure to keep people like myself from switching over to the dark side in search for an all electric nice car. By the way, I drive a Bentley and this is one of the only channels I love watching. Keep up the great Job, you are creating a legacy for many that will come after you. Cant wait for your video of the fully Electric version of this car hopefully next year model.

Sound is a lot better. Would like to know the mic you are using, as I been wanting to use a phone for my recording.

This video shows that Marques has reach into places people could only dream of because I never heard anything about Bentley attempting to make a hybrid. I want to see how the one percent live and not just they cars the drive. I think Marques has enough fame to get on Jeff Bezos yacht

The irony of a more expensive car with buttons vs. a Tesla. It’s sad, honestly.

This man went from Nokia and blackberries to flying Spur and Reds

I love that it has buttons

Honestly, I think the real solution in the future will be similar set ups like the karma revero GT. Cars will have an EV drivetrain and a battery but have a small engine that acts as a generator/range extender. Ik Mazda is exploring this type of solution with a small rotary engine/motor. This enables the manufacturer to use a smaller battery, making the whole process much more scalable and sustainable because they’ll be able to use less lithium/battery material (ie. the part of an EV that’s the most expensive) per unit/car. Gas tank sizes will be like 5-10 gallons. Just think ab it….
