  Almost made me cry this bs the world is their and always be there ev's will not change a thing. If we really want to save the environment we need to consume less. And yes volvo is doing it because if legislation as there ar penalties for every ice care made. So lets not kid our selfs. But overall a nice care the only volvo i would consider. Sadly the back space is a bit cramped.

  Hi and thanks for the great video.Very specific and clear for the real world driving and charging.

I m interested for the basic models (cheapest) of the following: Jeep Avenger 56 kWh(€38500), Nissan Ariya 63kwh(€40500) and Hyundai Kona 64kwh(€42500). Which one would you recommend? Thanks

  I still cannot fathom why one-pedal driving was not made a selectable option. Other brands sometimes have flappy paddles on the back of the steering wheel to allow for different degrees of regen, with the strongest being one-pedal driving. I love that feature on my car and think I would miss it. Otherwise, I think that the Cupra Born is very compelling.

  @@TheFutureisElectric sorry for my ignorance but honestly, I don't really understand whether charging from 30% t0 80% would be considered a charge cycle or not?

  Many thanks for the video! I saw one other reviewer recommend AC charging over DC charging - do you have any thoughts on this? Also, I heard lower kw charging is healthier for the battery - assuming you have the 20-30 hour window a week you don't drive at all - why wouldn't it be best to use the basic cable?

• 
  @TheFutureisElectric18 күн бұрын

  Regarding AC vs DC charging, I’ve seen studies and arguments on both sides of the table. However most early studies where based on the Nissan leaf, which lacked any form of battery cooling, meaning during charging the battery used to get very hot, which thus resulted in faster degradation. Nowadays nearly all models have cooling, meaning the battery does not get very hot, neither in the dc charging process. Regarding charging on slower socket, if you have the time no problem. The problem can come if the wiring inside the socket is not up to scratch and maintained, as that is a receipt for over heating in the plug

  Luke, I have a question to the charging cycles comment you made in this video. True, you do not need to charge your EV every day, so the charge cycle takes longer to reach. So why do they offer the same 8 year warranty on PHEVs? I own the new Peugeot 308 PHEV and charge every day. With that logic, I should reach the end of the charge cycles much sooner than a normal EV. But yet again, all manufactures ask the users to charge the car every day. This is so confusing lol. What's your opinion on this?

• 
  @TheFutureisElectric18 күн бұрын

  Very valid points. Keep in mind a charge cycle is 0-100%, if you charge to 50-100 and then again 50-100 then you’ve got your 1 cycle in 2 charging sessions. No two batteries will perform the same, even from the same manufacturer, it’s a chemical process which takes place in its lifetime, and while averages exist, it’s hard to forecast exactly. About the warranties, on the EVs side, the 8 years I believe is very conservative. In fact legislation in the US is already in the works to push EV battery warranties to 15 years. I believe they have kept it a 8 years more from an accounting perspective, for the brands to have closure on the cars lifetime value to them, once warranty responsibility expires. I think 8 year warranty on the PHEV battery is a further stamp of approval on the battery longevity, which as you are saying will reach the charge cycles far quicker

  I have my bedroom and living room air cons wired to connect to both the house supply and EV separated with automatic transfer switches. During the day, the living room air con runs on my house supply which is mostly solar, switching to EV supply at 5.30 pm. At 10 pm I turn off the living room air, an ATS switches the living room air con (now on standby) to grid supply and my EV powers the bedroom air con for the rest of the night. Plugging the EV charger in the morning recharges the EV battery from my solar panels. It works well and saves me drawing around 12 kWh per night from the grid. I had to do it this way as the BYD Seal is only rated for 2.3 kW long term and both my air cons are 18000 BTU units rated at 2kW max so I cannot run both from the EV at the same time. In summary I can run an 18000 BTU air con from sunset to sunrise for free....

  Skoda is a VW AG product, they wont upgrade anything on a hardware level. Having DC charging has nothing to do with vehicle to grid and their cars you buy now do not support it nor will they update their old cars to enable it in the future. Wireless charging also is nothing VW ever claimed the car will be able to do. Never buy a car for what it could offer in the future, buy it for what it offers at the moment you buy it.

  I have one of these on a long term rental of 2 months. It's a surprisingly great car, even better than the ID4 I had before. The infotainment and app still sucks like all VAG cars, but the rest of it is great. Even on the single motor version it's snappy and responsive. The brakes feel a bit weak especially since this thing can reach 165km/h (the software limit) without noticing. On single phase it seems to get limited to 3kw (on 16A European plug), while the ID4 reached 4kw. Comfort wise, it has a huge boot but the seats are just slightly more uncomfortable than the ID4's or even VW ICE cars. I've decided not to keep it primarily because of the bad infotainment and app platform.

  Thanks for this. Great to hear that Malta is the perfect temperature for EVs! FYI the increase in reported range when going downhill is probably a poor measure of the amout of energy that has been recovered through regen, because it reflects not just the change in the amount of energy contained in the battery, but more significantly also the lower rate at which that energy is consumed (the average consumption is what is used to calculate remaining range). The change in the percentage charge of the battery would be better measure of the amount of energy actually recovered through regen
