#55 Road trip with Hyundai Kona part 1 

Its just a great car ;)

@@paulvadeanu246 haha sure.

+Tech Guy Charlie Yes, I included that part :)

He's thinking: "I wish I could take a holiday in Norway" and "I wish I could afford a new EV like that Kona".

The average “ICE driver” doesn’t watch these videos.

@@Henriburger1 Sadly. That's probably true

I might not be average, :-), but I am an ICE driver and what I'm thinking is: where does all the money come from? My car is worth less than a replacement leaf battery - how am I going to justify even the cheapest EV? The savings don't add up and your chances of ending up with a vehicle whose value drops to 0 (e.g. battery becomes obsolete or impossibly expensive to replace) make savings seem very uncertain. I am also thinking that I wish Honda would make a really good electric Jazz because I love that car.

@@timmurphy5541 They're making Urban EV. And you're doing yourself a disservice by thinking that way, ICE cars fail more often and the battery on the current cars we have will last. With time, the $/kWh will drop (at the moment it's around $100 per kwh so a 35 kwh leaf battery will cost you $3500 to replace and you're good to go).

Anyone know the music track? Edit: Found it: Yule by Ian Post artlist.io/song/5010/yule

@@MacGuyver85 I searched for the album too but did not find it....😀

Alain Van Driessche Bjørn goes large...

I wish one day he would stop at a roadside restaurant and order a meal typical of a restaurant offering and deswcribe it. I like the guy as I find him to be entertaining.

Glad it wasn't only me!

Øøøøøøøø 😂😂😜

Prom, did you ever figure out if this is true?

Cables lock into the car until the car is unlocked. Even if someone were to manage to stop the charging session, the cable cannot be removed until the car itself is unlocked. Many chargers need the app and or payment/RFID card to be tapped before the session can be stopped using the stop button too.

I drove one in my winter coat yesterday (in Toronto) and buckling in seemed easy enough.

I have the feeling "winter mode" was off.

+Yves Smolders Of course.

Chargers (unlike batteries) like being cold. I mean, don't they?

Only to an extent, nothing electronic really likes the cold. Cold temperatures change the resistance of many metals, which often leads electronics to think there's a fault. Plus the heat generating nature of a charger means condensation and frosting are also possible at below freezing temperatures.

+Aleksandr Vysockij It was already plugged in and charging.
