2016 Chevrolet Volt Review
Cars.com:
the redesign chevrolet volt plug-in
hatchback has some impressive new
capabilities but is that enough to get
people passed cheap gas prices and low
sales popularity for hybrids and plug-in
cars the redesign has much more
conventional styling than the first
generation volt which was a very boxy
car it seems like the obvious result of
a wind tunnel exercise much more
car-like curvier all around that
actually conceals the fact that this car
is a little bit bigger than its
predecessor few inches longer close to
an inch wider the Volt is still an
electric car with an engine generator
that runs as a backup redesigned
hardware with this generation improves
all of its fundamentals
so now you get an epa-estimated 53 miles
of range much better than the last folks
38 miles rate and once that engine
generator has to kick in the epa
estimated 42 miles per gallon verses 37
before and when you do have to fill up
with gas it takes regular gas now the
first generation required premium none
of this seems to have sacrificed
drivability very much like its
predecessor that evolt rides and handles
pretty well with plenty of torque from
its electric motors for quick
acceleration around town editors were a
little bit split over breaks however
some found little improvement over the
prior generations will artificial
brick-like brake pedal other editors
that they're actually had been
significant improvement in this redesign
we all agreed at the end of the day
though that are particular test car has
a bad case of squeaky brakes a much more
cohesive interior to this car versus the
first generation vote which kinda had a
boxy futuristic seeming dashboard lots
of flowing shapes here very pleasing to
look at I gotta say controls for the
center stack now physical controls again
real buttons and knobs versions that
hard to use capacitive touch buttons
before now visibility not super great
hasn't really improved a great deal vs
the first generation of the bolt also
not an easy car to see out of a very
squat windshield your big eight pillars
that really fan out as you get down to
where the side mirrors are big pillars
if you look over your shoulder and the
rear window used to be a split design
now it's a single window in theory that
should be improved but still a very
small window and it doesn't have a wife
or even though the Volt is hatchback and
the window is rate such that you get a
lot of rain there during a storm
there is a fifth seat now it's a middle
seat in the back that used to
just be a two-position backseat it's
there i wouldn't use it its tiny the
bolt is still eligible for federal tax
incentive which knocks the starting
price effectively all the way down to
the mid-twenties if you qualify thanks
to a price that's nearly twelve hundred
dollars cheaper than the outgoing bolt
still gas is cheap right now and people
are not buying fuel efficient cars like
this
so how much should you pay attention to
the Volt well depends how much all this
new technology matters to you and how
much you want to create a hedge against
a future rise in those gas prices

2017 Chevy Volt or Tesla Model 3? Review of Volt.
The 8-Bit Guy:
Most of my viewers are aware that I love technology
and I've been driving a 2013 Chevy Volt for
quite some time. And I've been watching the
information coming out about the Tesla model
3, which appears to be a really cool car.
I think I'll go out and buy one. Oh, wait
a minute. That's not a Tesla, that's a second
generation Volt. So, yeah, after test driving
the new Volt I really decided there was no
real good reason to wait 2 to 3 years in order
to buy a Tesla Model 3. And, you know, when
I look online, on youtube for example, there
really just aren't any good reviews of the
Chevy Volt. And you know, my go to channel
for watching Ev related stuff is, of course,
Robert Llewellyn's Fully Charged show. I'll
put a link to it down in the description.
And since he lives in the U.K. he can't really
review a Volt so I just decided to take it
upon myself to do a proper review of this
car. A lot of people think that the Volt "is
just a hybrid like the Prius, Right?". It's
not. "It shares a lot of similar technology,
so it must be the same, right?" Well, you
know what? Mila Kunis shares 96% of her DNA
with a Chimpanzee, but which one would you
rather take home
with you? Other people think "it's just an
electric car that can only drive 53 miles
before stranding you!" Wrong! The Volt is
one of the few cars that can run either on
electric or gasoline. Now, since I've owned
an EV for several years, I'm well aware of
the three big questions that people always
ask. And those are: How fast, how far, and
how much? In the words of Chelsea Sexton.
How far, how fast, how much. These are the
three questions we're getting, please put
it in the advertising, it's not rocket science.
So I'm going to start by tackling those 3
questions. I'm going to start with number
one: HOW FAST? Now, where can I go to do a
proper test of this car? Oh, I know, how about
the drag strip? All right, I am in line. And
a little nervous, I've never done anything
like this before. It's kind of hot in here
because they say you can't have your air conditioning
on and I need the windows up because it's
so freaking noisy outside. So for the first
time I wanted to go full out, all electric
mode. Well, at least I know I'm not the slowest
car at the track.In my first time to run down
the track, I wasn’t even sure if I was supposed
to go, so you’ll notice I actually let off
the accelerator temporarily, which undoubtedly
hurt my time. I guess my screw up didn’t
matter because the scoring system wasn’t
even working this time so I couldn’t even
see my time. Well, here's something I don't
do every day. So I got in line again, and
this time I ended up by myself. I’m still
doing EV mode this time. I had to roll down
my window down and it messed up my camera,
which I didn’t have time to fix. I got my
ticket, and here’s the result.So the 3rd
time, I put the car into hold mode, which
means it will run on gasoline, to see if there
is any difference. And I ended up with a souped
up pickup truck next to me this time. For
some reason my interior camera wasn’t recording,
so I don’t have that angle to show. I noticed
right away the car was slower off the line
in this mode. And the results here confirm
that. So this is reaction time, and yeah..
I suck. But I can’t be too hard on myself
being this was my first time. Also this time
has no effect on the rest of these numbers
I’m about to show you. This is how long
it took to get to 60 feet. You can see EV
mode was much faster. But what is more interesting
is comparing this to other cars. For example,
look at the different Tesla Model S. You can
see that the Volt fits right in here, actually
being faster off the line than a base model
Tesla. And this is how long it took to get
to 330 feet, again EV mode being faster. And
this was the speed the car was traveling when
it reached 330 feet. This shows how long it
took to complete the 1/8 mile strip. Again,
EV mode being faster. And finally, the speed
I was traveling when I hit the end. Now what’s
interesting here is that gas mode was actually
faster here. Indiciating that when in gas
mode there may more power in the upper speeds,
even though takeoff power is less.OK, so definitively
answer how fast this car is, well it's plenty
fast. In fact, it's quicker off the line than
most cars except for legitimate performance
cars. So, I don't think there's going to be
any problem with how fast it is. OK, so to
answer the question of how far it can go.
Well, when I tell people that it can go 53
miles, sometimes they reply and go "is that
all?" And you know, I think a lot of people
just don't have a good conception of how far
a mile is, much less 53 of them. I think a
lot of people just fill up their tanks, run
it
until it goes empty and fill it up again and
they don't really pay attention to how far
they've driven. So I've devised a little trip
to help you better understand exactly how
far this car can go in electric mode. I live
in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. Now to
give you an idea of how large this metro area
is, here's the state of Connecticut overlaid.
So DF/W is essentially the same size as the
entire state. and by sheer coincidence, if
you were to start at the far end of loop 820
and drive to the far side of 635 it is exactly
53 miles. For my trip, I'm going to start
in downtown Fort Worth, sometimes referred
to locally as Cowtown. I'm taking a stroll
through the Watergardens. This is an amazing
place, I recommend people visit. And for those
nerds following my channel, you might recognize
this from the Cult sci-fi classic Logan's
Run which was filmed around here. And I'll
take a short walk back to my car, which I
have at a public charting station at a Walgreens.
The reason for this is that I wanted to start
my journey with a full charge. As you can
see on the dash, it's fully charged. And if
you look here, you'll see it reset our trip
meter to zero miles and zero kilowatthours
used. Arlight, so we just left downtown Fort
Worth and I'm headed towards Dallas. Now,
I'm going to try to do the speed limit. Which,
we're going 70 miles per hour right now, I
don't even know... oh look, the speed limit
is 60! I guess I had better slow down. Because,
you
know, I want to be realistic with this trip.
And you know, electric vehicles are kind of
opposite of gasoline vehicles. They actually
perform better in city traffic at lower speeds,
as far as efficiency goes. So if we're doing
a range test, driving out here on the highway
is going to put it to a pretty realistic test.
Because, if it will go this far on the highway,
you know it will go that much further in the
city. So we left Fort Worth and headed towards
Dallas. All right, we're about half way between
Fort Worth and Dallas and I'm going to take
a little detour here. Just right off the freeway,
I want to show you another little important
landmark of Dallas/Fort Worth. I'm going to
stop by the Dallas Cowboys stadium. At this
point, you can see I have travelled 16.1 miles
and the car is telling me I can still travel
another 43 miles on battery power. So here
we are at the AT&T or the cowboys stadium.
I'm not a big sports fan, but I've been told
that this is the best place to come during
tornado season because there's no chance of
a touchdown here. Unfortunately, it looks
like we're going to get stuck in some traffic,
which is not normal for a Sunday. So, we were
stuck in the traffic jam for about 10 minutes,
which didn't really hurt our range test since
EVs are actually more efficient in this sort
of traffic. So after a long drive, we were
finally approaching downtown Dallas. All right,
so we have arrived in downtown Dallas. Now,
we have travelled 36.1 miles and we have been
on the road for an hour and ten minutes. And,
we have used just a little over half of the
range of the battery and it's still saying
I have 19 miles left. Now, there are some
charging stations in this area, but I've decided
not to use them because that would kind of
defeat the whole purpose behind what we're
trying to do here. We're trying to see how
far it goes until it runs out. So I'm not
going to charge up. So I decided to get out
and walk to another interesting landmark just
down the street. This is the Kennedy memorial.
This is the location of the assasination of
John F. Kennedy back in November of 1963.
The shot came out of one of these windows.
This little X in the street is the actual
location of Kennedy's car when he was shot.
Then we left Dallas and headed back to Fort
Worth. We made it about this far before the
car ran out of battery power and seamlessly
switched to gasoline mode. OK, so we just
switched over to gasoline power. it was seamless,
just driving down the road, didn't have to
do anything. We did travel 49.1 miles on electric.
It is kind of hot outside today. We've been
running the air conditioner pretty hard, so
that probably did eat a few miles of the range
off. And so to really answer the question
how far it can go. Well, if you drive in gas
mode, it can go as far as you want it to go,
and you'll get a whopping 42 miles per gallon
while using gas, so on to the next big question.So,
Chevrolet lists the base model starting at
$33,220. But looking at my window sticker,
you'll see I have a base model with a few
upgrades and mine cost $36,735 Of course,
I didn't pay anywhere near that much for this
car. In fact I wouldn't even be able to afford
the car if I had to pay that much for it.
You see, I started off with a generous discount
since my father is a retired GM employee.
Then I got another $500 off because I had
a competing lease on a Nissan Leaf that my
wife was driving. And then I get $7,500 off
of my taxes from the federal government. So
I just loaned myself $7,500 from my savings
account, which I will get back at the end
of the year when I do my taxes. And so the
amount I actually paid for the car puts it
right in the same ballpark as a Prius. And
according to Chevrolet's website, you can
lease one for $299 per month with no money
down. So why anyone would buy a Prius instead
of this, I have no idea. Another extremely
common question that I get is is how long
does it take the car to charge? Now, that's
a perfectly valid question but it's also extremely
annoying because there's no one specific answer.
There's so many
different variables that account for how fast
it takes to charge. For the Volt it charges
is 4.5 hours from a commercial charging station,
or a 240V station in your garage. Now keep
in mind that's 4 and a half hours assuming
the battery has to charge from empty. But
let's be honest, with 53 miles of range, it's
probably pretty rare that you will be charging
a completely empty battery. More realistically
most people will probably be around half full
at the end of the day when plugging in, which
means more like 2 hours to charge. Now if
you decide to charge from the included 120V
charging cable, that plugs into any standard
outlet it can range from 13 hours on a 12
amp socket to as much as 18 hours on an 8-amp,
again assuming you are starting with an empty
battery. Now,
unfortunately, the Volt does not support DC
fast charging. If you take a look at some
commercial stations, you'll notice they will
have a regular 240 volt connector that works
in pretty much any electric vehicle. But some
will have this larger connector, notice the
extra prongs! Using this, you'll count the
charge time in minutes rather than hours.
But like I said, the Volt doesn't support
it. And, you know, I think I know why. I believe
the thinking at General Motors is that it
is, after all, a Plug-in Hybrid.It has a gasoline
engine so it's not like you're going to be
stranded. You don't absolutely need to have
the fast charge feature. And to be honest,
you need a reason to run the gas engine every
now and then because if you don't the car
will actually force you to burn a little bit
of gas to keep it from going stale. In fact,
the only reason fast charging is
even a topic of discussion on this car can
be attributed to the fact it has such a large
battery compared to other plug-in hybrids.
Only one other hybrid has more EV range than
the Volt. I mean, nobody even talks about
having fast charging on any of these other
hybrids because the range isn't long enough
to matter. Oh, and one more thing. Officially
speaking, this charger that comes with
the car is only supposed to support 120 Volts.
However, many people online have found that
this particular charger that comes with the
2016 and 2017 Volt, is actually capable of
running at 240V just by putting an adapter
on this cable and plugging it into a 240V
socket. At which point, you can charge twice
as fast although still not quite as fast as
a full fledged level 2 charger. However,
General Motors does not officially acknowledge
this and there's no guarantee all of the chargers
are the same, so I would try that at your
own risk. Now , My car is a base model So
there are a lot of features like adaptive
cruise control, for example, that I can't
show you because I just don't have them. But
it does have LED headlights, which you pretty
much have to experience to really appreciate,
and of course it helps save on some battery
power as compared to traditional halogen lights.
Also the interior lights are LED and there's
also little LED accent lights in places such
as the door handles. In fact, it looks really
cool at night. It's as close as you'll ever
get to being in a space ship. It has a lighted
charge port that flashes along with the indicator
on the dash to let you know the state of charge.
1 blink is 1 quarter full, 2 blinks is half
full, then 3
quarters, 4 blinks is almost done, and a solid
light means it is fully charged.The center
console does support Apple CarPlay so you
can plug your iPhone into it and certain apps
that support the feature will appear on the
display. The most helpful one is maps, of
course. I didn't even bother to buy satellite
navigation in this vehicle. And you can see
why. Of course, I'm a cheapskate so I wouldn't
have paid for it anyway. Now over time, more
and more apps are going to support this. Of
course, it can play MP3's from a USB stick,
but that's nothing new, my old Volt would
do that. But, what's interesting is what it
lacks - which is a CD player. Not that I'm
going to miss it anymore
than I would miss having a tape deck in my
car.The main instrument display is really
cool. Down here on the left, it shows an estimate
of your EV range remaining. Along with a bar
graph here giving a visual representation.
Over here, this shows your energy usage on
battery power. So when I punch it hard, you
can see the power move up, and when I regenerate
power, you can see it go down. Also the very
top shows you exactly how many kilowatts you
are using in realtime. This is very similar
to the meter you might have on the side of
your house. Now, of course, on the other side
you have your fuel tank graph, and the number
of miles you can travel on fuel if you desire
to
switch over to gas. And of course, the engine
has its own little power reading as well,
which only moves in one direction, showing
the power output. It will also show all kinds
of different information, even bizarre stuff
like coolant temperature. And if you change
stations on your radio, using the steering
wheel controls, it will show that. If you
change the volume, it will show that. And
there's a whole menu of customizable features.
The little climate control knob is cool. Of
course, it has heated seats and a heated steering
wheel, which will help save you range in the
winter if it means you can avoid running the
cabin heater which really sucks a lot of battery
power. The smartphone app lets you do some
cool stuff like start your air-conditioning,
check your available battery range, and many
other cool things. It will even let you locate
your car on a map, like your own personal
lojack. I also had my friend Rob, who's very
tall try out the front seat to see if it would
fit well for him. OK, so I'm 6 foot 5 and
for a car this size, this is really cavernous.
I'm actually very comfortable. No knees hitting
the steering wheel. This would be an easy
car for me to drive. And I was able to get
this entire basket full of stuff into the
hatchback with no problems. So I had been
waiting for Elon Musk to reveal the Tesla
Model III. Now, Elon says its going to be
revolutionary since it is a great looking,
great performing electric car with long range
capability and will sell for $35,000. It sounds
great. I wouldn't mind having one. But its
at least 2 or 3 years away before I would
be able to get one. Yet, the truth of the
matter is, the 2017 Volt is available today
and already fills all of those check boxes.
Now, I'm not saying the Volt is better than
the Model III. In fact, we won't really be
able to make that determination until the
Model III comes to market. But what I am saying
is that if you are waiting 2 to 3 years to
buy a car that just fits those particular
check boxes, wait no longer. Go buy a Volt!
Say GOODBYE to the Chevy Volt
Teslanomics with Ben Sullins:
- Now next I have something which is,
I don't know I have mixed
feelings about this.
GM, General Motors here in the U.S.
they are killing off the Volt which is
the plug in hybrid electric vehicle.
The P.H.E.V. as you will see it called,
which I believe gets maybe 20-30,
maybe a little more than that miles
purely on the battery then
it switches over to gas.
They are also killing the Cruz
which is a small sedan and the Impala.
So they are just getting rid of these.
Now we have already seen Ford to this,
Ford recently cut I think
almost all of their sedans
with the exception of maybe the mustang
and are just focusing on trucks and suvs
as well as they are planning on coming out
with some electric vehicles is
what they have been talking about.
So we will see kind of how that goes.
Now this was a part of a
15% layoff that GM did.
So, I believe that's close to
15,000 people or over 14,000 people.
Now this is despite them
doing relatively well
and beating last quarters
Wall Street expectation.
So interesting, now they
are saying that they
expect car sales to slump in 2019
and we have been hearing this a lot
until you look at Telsa sales and you see
them skyrocketing, so
you know you have that.
Now it's also a part of the GM strategy to
prioritize investment
into self driving cars
and EV's which means
they are cutting the plug
in hybrid electric vehicle
the Volt but keeping
the Chevy Bolt which is
the fully electric one
that does go 248 miles I think on a charge
and costs right around $35,000 depending
on your options and those kind of things.
So that's actually a really legit car,
electric car that's out there.
I know it hasn't really sold that much
the styling isn't for everyone but
I reviewed it and I mean
it seemed great to me.
It wasn't a Tesla by
any stretch of the means
but it was a great option,
it was like if you were
looking at another car and
that one it definitely works.
So as a part of this they are going
to be closing five plants,
five facilities as a part of what
they are calling the restructuring.
Now Senator Sherrod Brown
of Ohio publicly blasted GM
for it's plan to close down
the Lordstown Ohio plant.
Of course the President
of the United States
tweeted as he does often saying
that he is very disappointed
in GM and their CEO Mary Barra
for closing these plants,
you know lots of rhetoric going on.
Then he goes on to talk
about we are now looking
at cutting all GM subsidies,
which include electric cars
which by the way they get a lot of other
subsidies as well in case
you guys didn't know that
in terms of tax breaks
and things like that.
And so this was interesting but it also
kind of opens a door and this
is where I think it becomes,
is interesting for Tesla because
they could buy one of these facilities.
I mean imagine what kind of
Cinderella story that would be.
This is what happened with the Nummi plant
which is previously what the current plant
in Freemont California was called
which was I believe a joint
venture between Toyota and GM
and during the great recession that
we had in 2008-2009 is when
they had the opportunity to buy
it for literally dirt cheap.
I believe prior to that Tesla
was looking at a factory
in Texas so this five
plants, I believe four plants
and one other facility are closing
but a huge amount of them are
going to be available here
so if I were Tesla I would
be seriously looking at this
as an opportunity, because this
could make a huge difference
in their profitability as well as the
acceleration of some of their vehicles.
(jokingly coughs) *ahem* roadster
and so I am curious to see what happens,
I am curious if you guys or
anyone you know is affected
by this please leave a
comment, hit me up on Twitter.
I would love to hear that
story because it is sad,
I mean losing jobs here
because of strategic moves
by a big company is one of the
plagues of corporate America
and the society and the system of commerce
we have built in the United States.
It even goes back to Reagan laying off the
FAA flight instructors or
air traffic controllers
so its one of those things where it sucks
but hopefully some of
this can be rebounded
and pivoted into newer
technologies that are helping
us move towards a more
sustainable way of living
that's kind of my thoughts on it
leave me a comment let me know
what you guys think down below
Chevrolet Volt Concept
Cars.com:
I'm Patrick Olsen for cars.com we're
here at the Detroit Auto Show at the GM
booth
looking at the Chevy Volt GM's new
electric car concept we talk to GM
representative Tony Posawatz about
the car
Tony can you walk through this car is
different from hybrids another of your
car's
I'd like to say it's an electric
vehicle the Chevy Volt
drives completely and entirely using
GM's Eflix electric propulsion system
so its electric vehicle that only
requires
an engine generator turn on to create
more electricity
so its electric vehicle with
battery-powered that can go
forty miles for most customers that's
what they drive
forty or less they would use no gas when
you go beyond your forty miles
we create electricity on board by by
utilizing an engine generator set
burning a little bit of fuel to create
more electricity
so you can go about 640 miles how does
the plugin work
a plugin ports are located here it's a
110 volt 15 amp
so no special equipment is required and you what you have to do then
is wait about six hours overnight what will
the difference be in cost to consumers
electricity costs off-peak rates a lot
less than fuel probably about one-fifth
the cost the fuel
what's different about the interior this
car than other cars that you guys have

Chevy Volt 2017 Review: An Electric Car With A Gas Assistant
MrMobile [Michael Fisher]:
รmission Zรฉro: Chevrolet Volt
maCommunautรฉ:
Opel Ampera/ chevrolet volt - Consumo real en Drive Mode - Retener.
HCTA:
Good Morning! Welcome to my channel!
Today, let's make a journey: in (hold mode)
with the chevrolet volt,
How much can we spend in the hold mode?
and how much
Can we save? Come on, we started.
we started the car
Let's look: What we have now on the screen.
Now we have a battery 33 km
yes, 33 km.
gas tank for the generator
273km and in total we have 306 km.
we memorize these figures.
here we are watching,
we have used 1.13 liter and 1.5kw ..
Very well.
let's make the journey
I take the picture,
Very well.
we start, let's
change the drive mode,
and let's change to retain
A) Yes
This option is usually done when you make a
long trip.
Okay let's go...
we are also going to see,
pressing this button, we will be able to see the
Energy!
where will we go and where from the
battery or generator
right now he is consuming battery
and goes to the electric motor
the important belt
OK,
right now we drive
at 35 km 40km / hour, through the town and what
which is seen now, as
Battery consumption
look, the flow!
I release the accelerator now and it holds me back
the wheels are loading.
the wheels themselves, are loading the
drums
now there will be a descent of the mountain
Right now I'm accelerating,
and look, the engine has started
now we are on a descent,
then now the wheels themselves,
they are loading
the battery. we are not consuming
Now nothing
and if I put,
in mode (L)
the automatic change lever, for back
it holds me back, much more and it stops me with the
own electric motor.
and so we can load, faster in
the car and the car stops almost alone
Now just press the pedal a little
Brake
and now the car stops. You can drive with the (L) activated, no problem, you can also drive.
but, brakes more the engine
electric, brakes much more.
Look, right now we have the flow of
energy coming out of the battery
and going to the electric motor. Once, that
I have accelerated a little bit stronger
started to run the generator engine
now it generates electricity for the electric motor
Look! the flow that is
coming out from the generator
to the electric motor. the battery has
off
Now we are using 100% the
generator, is consuming a little
of gasoline, to produce electricity and
Directly pass electricity to the electric motor.
Look, now it's consuming the
two
now I'm releasing the brake,
I'm releasing the accelerator I'm going 80km,
I'm going to activate the CRUISE CONTROL
Activate 90 km / hour
and it's the stretch of
90-95 km
95
and now we are going down
of the little mountain
the generator engine is acting
producing electricity for the engine
electric
that propel the car
Now look! There is a descent, from a very long distance.
now using the battery power
is using the
battery power, still.
now we drive in electric.
Awesome!
we look at consumption now.
the east route, which I've done in about 5min-10min.
that we have driven now.
We have used 15% of electricity is the green part.
And 45% of gasoline is this blue ball.
this from here, look.
and there look,
here
the consumption in used liters, since I started, I think it was: 1.15 or 1.30? and now 1,63
I have spent, nothing: 400 grams.
Now there is a descent, look.
let's change, to see the flow of energy.
watch! as the wheels are charging the battery. why
There is a super downhill.
Very well, as you see here, we continue
consuming, now we lower the speed.
I go 65 km. we continue in the, retain mode,
as you see here battery is hidden.
And gas tank - it's in front of the
drums .
let's go now at 50 km / hour
we do not accelerate anything and what is
doing is holding with the wheels.
They are loading right now, you see?
energy flow, where it goes!
It's happening from the wheel and it charges the battery. Now I'm going to brake and it's - charging.
Okay, I accelerate now and the flow of
battery power, goes directly to the
electric motor, is picking up energy
of the battery.
I drive at 40 km / hour,
I do not need a lot of power
and the generator engine is not acting,
right now, he's using the battery
battery power
very well
Well, we have reached our destination.
we'll see.
the total consumption of what we have spent?
and how much energy have we used here?
I have used here 12% of battery power and 47-48% of gasoline
to produce electricity with
the generator.
in electrical I have made 2.6 kw
used and here it puts the gasoline liters 1,75L
I used to do this
Journey, but remember!
I am going to write here a line of consumption, of how much it was before making the trip.
that was a liter and 30 when we have
since it started 1.15 and until now 1.75
We have spent: 450-600 grams
of gasoline to do these 15
kilometers of travel.
This is the consumption if we had done 100% in gasoline cars.
we do not always fix here,
we do not look here, the one that we really have to look at is this one above that is
real is this from here this is used trip.
1.75-1.15 = 600 gr. It is correct.
550 grams of gasoline for 15 km
combining with the two in:
(hold mode) look here, the button
we press the button: (normal)
yes, go down to (normal)
Look changes directly to the battery,
and we have done
the trip with (hold mode)
when the (hold mode) is activated, both things work,
need little power: the battery is activated.
when you need more power it
activate an icon here
motor-generator, and energy flow
Have you seen?
Very well. they have seen that we have done
a trip of 15 km
in (hold mode)
we have used the gasolide so that,
the generator produces electricity and we have also used,
battery, we have made 15 kilometers
and we have spent, I think it has been: 0,5L
of gasoline, if we fix in principle we have started
the path marking 1.13 -1.15 and when we have reached the end of the trip.
Mark the computer: 1, 75 L
1.75-1.15 = 0.60 L
600 gr. of gas .
if we do calculations in mode
hold when you're going to do 100km of travel
The cost will be: 15km = 0.6L. To reach the 100km is: 15km x 6 times
6 times X 0.6 l = 3.6 L- 4 L
3.6 L at 100km. !!!!!!
driving with the east system
(hold mode) take a long trip
then make up, the car will save
long-distance roads-yes. on long way if there is savings. For a short distance trip.
example: I have done, I, from work
to my house and house to work in ida 15km and 15km in return.
total 30 km, per day. I'm always doing this trip 100% electric, since
electricity is much cheaper and
more economical than gasoline.
If I travel on gasoline, I will spend 1.5L-2L of gasoline
return
1.5L
to go to work a day
3 -3.5 €
a day I think it's 3.5 L
gasoline costs € 1.25 or € 1.50 a liter depending on the country. gasoline consumption = 3-3.5 €
up to date.
but if you are going to charge your car at home, the price of 1 kw is much cheaper than gasoline ..
electricity from electricity consumption
here for example: it depends on the country, but I think the 1kw light bill costs?
10 cents or 12 cents depending on each country, and in some cases at night is cheaper than during the day.
but anyway, if you pay for 1kw = 10 cents
and for travel you will need 3 kw of return and 3kw of total return 6kw, as much ..
6kw X 0.12 € = 0.72 € total 72 cents a day. Much cheaper to take a trip.
50-72 cents trip on electricity is better, than spending 2.2-3 euros on gas
there is the saving, depending on the price!
oil price? oil has gone up
through the clouds, today. Today, I see!
more alternatives, move to the electric car.
always, if anyone can.
Electric with little consumption! or a hybrid! or an electric with extended autonomy like this.
in this case, it has a generator,
to take a long distance trip
it compensates a lot, (HOLD MODE)
There is also an option to change the electric (normal mode), but it only has
battery range autonomy of 50 km, which I can combine and
make a long trips of 500
km -550 km with (hold mode)
I consume some gasoline to produce
this electricity that he needs car
to go further, this is why it is called:
electric car with extended autonomy
that extends autonomy for more km.
Today, is what, I, wanted to show.
show this video and so you see!
It compensates! And it's cheaper! I
I am very happy with the car.
I've been driving the car for six
months and I am very happy and saving, quite a lot.
Example: apart from the taxes paid: 30 euros a year from taxes, so
here in Sweden, for example.
30 euros a year, tax payment on this car, I'm
saving a lot of gas!
On my trip, I do not use gas at all.
I have simply done this
video so that you see that in (hold mode)
you can save a lot of gas in case you have
to travel a long way
to many kilometers!
But for people who work near your home, 20-30 km makes up for going
directly on electric and if I had
option to load in work too!
Charge at work better yet!
I can go 100% electric and save
lots of money in gasoline and avoids
this oil. And in the future, hopefully
possibilities of lowering a lot
prices of electric cars. will be more
accessible to people and
With more autonomy, welcome these cars will be.
the world wants it go to
electrical and see you in the next video
There will be much more. Many thanks!
