Yes, it's possible to drive in GTE mode without ever charging, but I have no experience with fuel consumption in this situation. I guess that the consumption would be near to a 2.0 TSI Passat, which has less weight and complexity comparing to the GTE.
Yes, it's possible: Press the GTE button after starting the car, then the petrol engine is working most of the time, and the battery level maintains 50 %, so e-boost is available too.
Hey guys, what happens when I start the car in the winter and I drive in E mode but then when going out of town I turn hybrid and the engine kicks in at speed for example 100km/h. Isnt the engine cold and doesnt it hurt it to start and rev to 3000rpm straight away ?
When it's cold and you switch to Hybrid mode, then the clutch keeps open and the engine idles half a minute. After warming up, the clutch closes and the engine begins working, so you have no problem. Additionally the GTE engine has special parts which are more robust than a standard 1.4 TSI engine. When it's cold, I would recommend to start the engine at begin (if you drive more than 20 km), because the electric heating reduces the battery range enormous. In Hybrid mode, the heat of the engine is used for warming up the car.
Nice video! Can you please explain me how A/C works after cold start with e-mode? Is the heating or cooling with A/C faster than heating or cooling with A/C after regular cold start on petrol? How much km is shorter autonomy with e-mode when you turn on A/C and drove all the time? Thanks in advance!
For cooling there is an electric compressor with 1.5 kW max. power (consumption). For heating there is an electric heating unit with 5 kW max. power, which is used only when the petrol engine is cold / off. The A/C takes about 5 minutes to warm up / cool down the cabin, no matter whether you start electric or on petrol. If A/C is on, the electric range can decrease by 30-50 % in the winter and 10-20 % in the summer (depending on driving speed etc.).
I have same car same year. I dont understand why alleays when I start the car he is charging batery for some time never mind how much I have level of batery, if you understand. Why is that? Offcourse I put it in Hybrid mode
@@marcobrancorsini2479 It's not about the speed limit. It's about the fact that driving an electric car triggers a fear and a range anxiety to all drivers, making them drive like a 76 yrs old man. All I wish is that all electric car drivers to drive like they did 5 years ago, when they had petrol or diesel.
@@TheSweetVillain Oh don't you worry. This is a hybrid and I found the perfect way to recharge the battery while I'm going more than fast enough. I'm either at 40% throttle and 160km/h recharging the damn thing or at like 200 fucking flooring the shit out of it lmao
To be honest the quietness of electric cars is a myth..all you hear is the wind noise and rolling wheel noise, even with modern 2.0tdi you no longer hear engine working, nevermind petrol units, all you hear is just the wind noise, and road surface. So I wouldn't be able to tell you drive electric or quiet TDI. They only advantage is obviously no co2 emission, and reliability. But then your reach is poor in electrics.
With full tank (55 L) more than 900 km plus electric range of 30-40 km (often more, if you reserve the electric power for the slowest parts of the route).
No, I don't, unless the battery is full, then charging isn't possible. Is the car breaking while in B mode? Is the state of charge increasing slowly while driving in charge mode?
@@ColorcircleLive Thanks for the answer. The battery was not full. While in B-mode (or when breaking) the graphics in the bigger screen (Energy flow view) is showing the flow back to the battery, but the number under Consumption menu is just showing --. I haven't tried the Charge mode. I will do that next time.
Nice video! I am planing to buy this car, but still not sure what fuel consumption i will get for driving to work and back ~120 km of a speed 70-80 max?
It mainly depends on your driving style. My overland consumption is 5...6 Liters/100km in hybrid mode (save battery, no highway). The slower, the less. Assuming that the battery is charged every day (7 kWh => 35...45 km e-mode, used for the slowest parts of the route), the resulting fuel consumption declines to 4 Liters/100km or less.
@@dragospahontu The overall consumption of the last 6 years is 3,4 Liter/100km plus 7,7 kWh/100km. The average fuel consumption in "battery save mode" is 5,7 Liter/100km. Average speed is 70 km/h (much country road), maximum speed mostly 130 km/h.
Not sure why this video has so many dislikes. It shows everything clearly etc. Good job! Although, I do have a question. How does the constant switching on and off of the engine affect its reliability? In a sense, the engine is cold, you drive in electric and require power. Engine wakes up from cold and supplies the power, isn't this bad for the engine? Same with turbo, does it circulate the oil in E mode?
My car isn't old enough (3.5 years) to say that the engine is reliable, but I haven't heared yet that the GTE's petrol engine is less reliable than other VW engines. But I've heared that the GTE's 1.4 TSI has some constructive modifications which makes it more robust. Additionally, the first time you switch to hybrid or GTE mode, the engine idles half a minute for warming up, before the clutch closes, so it doesn't supply power immediately. The only thing you should avoid is a kick-down with the cold engine, because it revs up immediately, even in E mode.
wenn ich bedenke wie man früher Gleise gebaut hat, ich denke das Industrie 4.0 genauso werden wird, Job werden nicht vernichte, sie werden sich nur radikal ändern
Oh wie toll 😊 arbeite in ein Sägewerk und da sind auch sehr viele Bachstelzen finde es immer lustig wie schnell sie laufen können und mit ihrem Schwanz Wippen
Wir haben seit 5 Jahren Grauschnäpperr im Garten die immer im selben Nest brüten. Dieses Jahr sind sie noch nicht wieder da. Aber wie ich gelesen haben kommen sie oft erst Ende Mai bis Anfang Juni von Afrika zurück.
ganz ganz süß. Wir können froh sein, dass es noch Vögel gibt, doch allerdings sind die Vögel immer stärker bedroht und wir müßen alles daran setzen, den dramatischen Artenschwund zu stoppen!
