Another watershed moment for Fully Charged. This is the series I’ll share with friends and family. This is the series that will be used by enthusiasts to make ‘normal’ people aware of the possibilities. Well done FC. Top vid and top production quality too.
Yes - great! Actual information. Makes a great change from Roberts waffling,endless super-optimistic positive spin, telling us everything is great and super simple and nothing to worry about and just go and buy one... WELL DONE Maddie.....!!
Yeah, this is the stuff we’re crying out for & it’s so well done and fun, that I cannot see how it won’t be instrumental in getting many more bums in EV seats. Hooray for Fullycharged!
@@reggiebuffat my wallet chose the VW e-Golf 😉. VW was cutting the price by so much, it was a no brainer. Not the best EV, but it was available, unlike Hyundai and Kia, and affordable, some 150€ a month less than those.
@@Kevin-vg5uw yes. Because the VW Golf VIII was about to be released and the ID.3 too, VW decided to lower the price by almost 10.000€! for the e-Golf. Hyundai Kona EV ~500€/mnd VW e-Golf ~350€/mnd Specs wise, the Golf is really behind mist others. But it is more than enough for me.
If i had to buy an EV. It would likely be a new Kona / e-Niro or a second hand Tesla Model S 70/85/90D of the first gen with unlimited free supercharging though. Or the ID.3. i expect that to be an awesome car. Or the Taycan? 🤔
After 5 years in an EV its really difficult to offer advice to anyone without getting overly complicated or tecnical. Getting Maddie to do this series is perfect. Good presenter with no prior experience is exactly what joe public need. Going to bet that this series is going to get the largest number of views in the next year on the channel. Well done.
Firstly congratulations on a great episode and presenter. I just want to add a few things for inexperienced viewers to clarify details which are maybe slightly misrepresented in this show, possibly because this show might have been filmed a slight while ago. The new 2020 Renault Zoe now comes with DC charging which gives it the same charging possibilities as other EVs. Also the Tesla Maddie looked at is the shorter range version - there is also a longer range version which can do over 300 miles on a charge (if longer range is your top priority). Also as Maddie here perceives, the Hyundai Kona and the Kia Niro have the same batteries and drivetrain, which is why they feel so similar to drive. The Kona has slightly better range because it is a slightly smaller car. Excellent show guys.
It’s also worth adding that, in terms of rapid charging (50kW+), currently Tesla has the huge advantage of their SuperCharger network which runs at up to 140kW, and their next-gen Superchargers (v3) which have just started getting installed (Bobby Llewelyn did a short segment a couple weeks ago when the first ones opened in London) can go up to 250kW, depending on the model as well - Model 3 Long Range and Performance can take full advantage of those charging speeds. That, of course, is on top of all the rest of the CCS charging networks. So Tesla Model 3s are slightly more expensive than the Konas and the Niros, but they come with several other benefits, even if you don’t care about the looks. The EV charging network will be expanding rapidly in the next couple of years, I believe, both in terms of rapid chargers for long-distance travel (at motorway rest areas mainly) and fast chargers within cities. L.E.: IONITY, one of the largest rapid charging networks in Europe, a joint venture of VW Group (incl. Porsche and Audi), BMW, Daimler and Ford, have just announced they're transitioning from a fixed €8 per charging session to a new universal rate across its European network of €0.79 / kWh -- so they only charge per amount of energy delivered. Problem is, the Tesla Supercharger network is anywhere between 3 times and 5 times cheaper than that (in the UK, Ionity's €0.79 / kWh means about £0.67, while Tesla charges £0.24 / kWh at their Superchargers), and many EVs with poor kWh / mile numbers -- looking at you, Audi e-tron, and Porsche Taycan -- will cost more to drive the same distance than a petrol car, which is simply ridiculous, and further emphasise the advantage Tesla has in the market.
@@tavi_chocochip I also would like to know more about those that regularly use Fast Charging like the Super Charger Network. I know that won't be good on your battery in the long run.
bobbiesmulders True. However most of the discussion in the video is UK-specific, so while we will probably get a rapid networking similar to Fastned in the next few years, at the moment there isn’t one. And about the e-tron: 1. it can charge at a high rate for a large part of its SOC “range” because Audi gave it a huge battery buffer, which mostly sits unused and causes a terrible efficiency number; the Model 3, for example, charges at a much higher miles/minute rate due to its better efficiency; and 2. it’s in a completely different price range to the cars discussed in the video.
Ahmad Haruman Rapid charging is not particularly bad for the battery as long as the battery is well conditioned - meaning it’s kept at the ideal temperature during charging. Try to google Tesloop, it’s a company that’s running a “shuttle” service with Tesla Models S and X between LA and Las Vegas and they’re constantly supercharging, and yet their cars have record mileage and their battery degradation is similar to the average. What will damage a battery faster than normal is deep charge (going to 100% frequently and/or keeping it there for extended periods of time) and deep discharge (going very close to 0% state-of-charge). EV drivers typically stay within 10-80% or even a bit lower at the high end, and only go higher when road tripping with insufficient rapid chargers available.
Fantastic, just bloody fantastic. Such a brilliant idea for a series. Really looking forward to the next episodes too. Maddie is gold. So easy to see why she is an award winning presenter.
Award-winning eh? What did she get an award for? I agree she's doing a great job here - perfectly pitched. I've thought before she must do a lot of kids TV or something as she's been a bit gushy and overexcitable for my taste, but none of that here. If this gets wide distribution it could be a big deal for EV adoption in the UK. Getting beyond the early adopters that Robert appealed to.
@@Wookey. Yeah I hope it helps with the momentum for EVs in the UK. You guys in the UK seem so far ahead of the curve compared to us in Australia. Adapting this type of series for other markets where the government is much less progressive (insert picture of leaders with head in the sand while the country burns) could also do a great job of stirring some more interest. BTW, according to Wikipedia Maddie "was awarded the Best Presenter BAFTA at the Children's BAFTAs 2017.".
It's possible that Maddie might be the most wholesome, happy person who has ever existed. It's like she has an aura of cups of tea & teddy bears. She was actually embarrassed to admit she had a nice warm, cosy bottom form the heated seats. So adorable, probably leaves a wake of rainbows behind her.
Thinking about buying an electric car for the first time here. My mind was also blown away by the different types of chargers out there until this video.
Maddie is a gem! This series should not only do well, but it should be successful at helping folks to learn about EVs and decide on vehicles to consider. Good move. Good production values, too!
I didn’t think the fully charged show could get any better, as its always highly informative and entertaining in equal measure. I was wrong. These episodes are really well done and very helpful. Many thanks.
Whoever at Fully Charged came up with the idea for this series of videos........ Take a bow. Possibly the most useful - and promising - yet. Genuinely useful, beautifully presented and truly relevant. This is spot on and will do the ‘cause’ a power of good. Well done to all involved. Like the EV’s, Fully Charged just gets better and better.
This is one of the best videos in ages! Maddie is so warm, informative and engaging. Her excitement reminds me when I first start driving EVs. Wonderful start to the series!
@@sharpendesign6604 You do realise there are more than 6 EVs out there? The carwow video whilst useful as a guide is aiming at a different audience, is also somewhat flawed in many places. For instance they don't state if the I-Pace has had the recent H264 update applied, giving further range or if the eTron is taking advantage of changes to battery availability. A lack of knowledge of each car tested sadly.
@@aquissuk an update for further range wouldn't get the ipace to get anywhere near where that tesla got in that video. To compare those cars more in depth have a look at for example the Jalopnik's video comparing tesla model 3 VS Chevy bolt VS bmw i3. That video showed how far along those cars are in build quality and tech. I'm no fanboy or anything but looking at the specs, tech, safety, looks and experience given, tesla is just far ahead in the race. Tbh i was wondering if audi and mercedes would be able to just easily beat tesla with their overhyped EVs (eQC & e-tron) but looking at both sales and specs it doesn't get anywhere near it. I just hope these car makers actually go serious into this race as soon as possible otherwise they will die out because tesla is building up its infrastructure worldwide and will soon enough be able to be unbeatable.
When I ordered my Zoe I "did the maths". Specifying a Clio to match the standard spec of the Zoe I was looking at, the PCP per month cost was only £30 a month more, including battery lease. Yes thats more,... But NOT by a huge margin. Factoring in fuel costs, tax and such, the Zoe ended up £60 cheaper a month. It was a no brainer.
@captain pugwash That will take around 14h to do in a Zoe. According to the very scientific way of Bjorn Nyland :p The Zoe/Clio are not cars for long distance. I have done it once in a small peugeot and i can't recomand it. If you do a lot of miles buy something more decent.
@captain pugwash That is all to blame on infrastructure. The UK government should deal with that or comapgnies should make a better network like Tesla does and Fastned/Ionity etc on mainland Europe. Here it's not a problem at all even with a Zoe i can just drive and see my mom who lives 250km away. It will come. I have red that petrol stations are also closing in the UK.
@captain pugwash if I wanted a Dacia I'd buy a Dacia. With the greatest respect, Dacia uses Renault parts from 8-10 years ago. If I wanted a car where remote central locking is an optional extra, I'd buy a Dacia. Android auto/Apple carplay, surround parking sensors, electric windows on all sides, power mirrors, speed limiter and cruise control, automatic climate control, auto lights and auto wipers... All standard tech on my Zoe. It's much more of a car than a standard Dacia. If I wanted a car from last decade yes I'd save some money buying one. If you're going to start comparing apples to oranges, I'd save much more money by simply not buying a car at all. I'll rent a horse! You could do the "Yes but" all day long - I'm telling you what I did and what it cost me. It is beyond any doubt that I'm saving money compared to the cost of closest equivalent ICE vehicle. Bringing up a vehicle that isn't equivalent is just a "Ya boo sucks" argument, and one that isn't particularly convincing.
Maddie - great video. I’m 68 and bought a Tesla X in Oct 2017. I’ve never looked back (don’t need to as the reversing camera does that.) My experience is go for at least 200+ mile range. Good luck.
Excellent presentation. Very up beat and spunky, easy and precisely informative. I imagine this is exactly what a lot of future, potential would be buyers who are still undecided and a bit apprehensive, need. Ive only discovered miss Maddie through fully charged and ... you guys need to hire her for more stuff. Make her a regular.
I know I'll get a lot of hate for saying this, but I don't really care much about cars, I'm only really here for Maddie and nothing else, because she is my fav TV presenter ever and she can make anything interesting! This was actually really enjoyable, I look forward to more episodes
No hate, she's a great presenter and if it sparks an interest in the subject all the better. My daughters a big Maddie fan too so if she sees the video there could be an interesting talk as I have been forced into getting a new diesel due to my companies outdated company car policy.
For those that aren't parents of young kids, Maddie presents a kids TV program on BBC called 'Do You Know?' Where she doesn't explain how elecricity and car brakes work, amongst other things.
But that's what makes the video so authentic, taking a non car person through the journey, which is most people these days, I think it was brilliantly done.
@@wermagst Well she's trying to explain. but when explaining the concept of a transformer it is described as making the electricity 'bigger' or something equally wrong. and the 'helpful' graphic for the hydrolic brake system makes it look open ended and not really like how a brake system actually works. and thinking about it, they had the refridgeration cycle backwards aswell. other than that fairly accurate and occasionally interesting even to the dads.
Thank you for the information about her being a performer. I assumed as much. If you like her then protect her from this propaganda. Educate yourself. You might be better able to learn what she is being denied by this gigs employment. She is a real person. These are not her words.
@@Macrike cars have had bumpers shaped like women and women have been selling cars women have been at the podium dressed scantily awaiting the winners of races bicycles even to much current contempt and review and revision. The electrification of cars is a bizarre development because it is being done in the name of progress when anything that enables cars to continue to be used is regress. Anybody with a clue understands the car's are malignant. The world Henry Ford engineered Mobility for does not exist. The original cars did not go faster than bicycles are allowed to go even now in even Europe. Even Electric bicycles everywhere in the world can now go faster on even a straightaway for as far as you could possibly want to go which is faster not just then people go in today is cars in cities of course you're very familiar with that fact as is everybody or anybody who's participating here should be I think assume to know that congestion prevent scars from being used in a way that allows you to get to work or wherever you're going faster than an electric bicycle or even sure a motorcycle. However what you can get away with on an electric unicycle especially or just an electric bicycle exceeds all expectations you have to try it to believe it and you will never go back and does not require a license plate so that unless you are physically pulled you're not going to be identified. I understand that some countries may already require license plates on even human AKA analog bicycles. My comments will have a United States Centric perspective. In the United States the public is starting to wake up about killing machines AKA cars. The reality of being a leader that although the public ultimately has to understand the truth-o-meter AKA true leader lots of laughs has the burden of accepting it long before. Those who defend cars do not do so with Integrity or honesty. As you are probably aware there are criminally corporately organized groups now that are trying to revive the fetishistic past treasonous that are dying the myths that are dying and they are actually enjoying substantial success. Historically the issue being one of compatibility. More recently we talked about complete streets. The issue however is that cars can be simulated going forward. What in the past has been ranked speculation subject to forced psych evaluation excetera controversy thankfully by the work of a heroic whistleblower criminalized to the ends of time is now science. Clued forecast the performance of the choices we now make in our future world with precision.
@@Macrike yet despite this position in being able to understand how poorly cars are currently operating for us and of course some facts about the million fatalities from violent assault being the price we pay for the profits that car makers and joy annually. Despite such facts like tens of thousands of Americans being killed per quarter of the year, where of course in a 3 month. Or say 100 days you're talking about a five-figure fatality count just for this country that is mine. It's possible that we have seen the 100 day. Then I've had a six-figure body count if you add up all the death including the non sudden masks as less than extremely homicidally violent Kellogg's killings. The research is pressing forward about what the cost of Ordinary People operating cars, literally using cars oh, and I apologize if this sentence seems to be overwritten to you but this sentence May survive for additional years maybe a decade or more and I have to expect there will be people whose reaction is the opposite to yours and when I say something like people are getting in cars and they're getting in the car alone and the car is operating on gasoline and other words it's like five figure cash new price and yet the fuel tank is like a $5 item and because only $5 is being spent on the fuel tank it's literally when you're feeling the tank you're literally like wasting thousands of dollars in fuel that causes cancer to the people that live near the gas station or work near the gas station and the fuel that you're putting in there is kind of expensive to be just a fad berating like that and I'm in a city in which before a military like operation of bringing in a bunch of you know insanely gold gas stations that have in terms of their air conditioning they have the company buying air conditioners for like $50,000 each that are like not anywhere near what they need even though many of them are installed on their gas stations and so they put up Craigslist ads to sell these brand new never used air conditioners for $1,000 even though they bought them for $50,000 because they keep on building more gas stations and the last thing we need in the United States of course is more gas stations but they're able to put many gas stations out of business because they make these gas stations essentially brothel Pinot Gris and sugar and open fire is essentially open fires that are air-conditioned and if you want to have air conditioning or refrigeration and fire it's kind of like having an air-conditioned no glass blowing art is in office space you know how much rent can you charge a glass blower he's bringing in huge tanks of combustible gases and he's got ovens running that are not insulated ovens and he's putting out a huge amount of combustion by products what's good vented outside of course meaning of your condition Dairy refrigerated air is being pumped out by him and so you know your air conditioner is supposed to run a couple hours a day and keep the place nice and comfortable but actually it's running continuously 24 hours a day and it's hot as hell in there well if you are selling gasoline what you do is you say oops I didn't put a big enough air conditioner in and you put a bigger one in and some of these gas stations no longer have the super bright lights like a new car dealership might but they still have an energy budget that does not need to be
Well you like your car Wong sir fantasizing about you know buying a house for half the price that you can get a new car and not half the ride in a dangerous way on the roads and your little $400 bicycle since you can have your you know $40,000 car and not have an intermediary stop like a $14,000 bicycle that will make operating the car see mature may God bring the car seemed like some sort of a penalty for driving drunk or something you know you no longer allowed to ride your top of the line electric bicycle for five years you're going to have to sit inside a car you're going to have to sit down you're going to have to have your legs out at a right angle from the rest of your body right not comfortable position to spend much time in you're going to have to use your hands maybe both hands both arms you're going to have to use the least one foot you're going to have to stare at what's happening in front of you and you're definitely statistically going to run over some innocent person and kill them and so this is the punishment because you were caught driving a car drunk and you normally only drive you know I'm on the rare occasion that you have to pick up some furniture or something but you got caught driving drunk and so you're not going to be allowed to use your bicycle anymore sir we're going to require that you operate a car and so you have this fantasy will you can force me to use a car but you can't force me to go to the gas station. This concerns old pack OPEC. So while our do this while our girls were over there killing their presents for them they recruited some of us and said hey we got cash here's a suitcase of cash you're not going to be here for much longer when you go back to America why don't you go to the bank with a suitcase of cash and say if they'll give you five or $10 for every dollar you have in the suitcase you're going to build a gas station which will be so pleasant so cold in the summer so much are being pumped through there that they can have few no bonfire is going on in there they can be roasting weenies you know they can have all kinds of hot food without any nutrition label to make us feel bad if we dare buying we won't know what we're eating we can fill up a cup maybe like a gallon cup of basically just corn syrup and maybe some nicotine you know maybe it's 50-50 like half-and-half except it's not cream and milk it's nicotine and corn syrup and it's going to be fluffed up or Frozen it's going to be somehow you know we're going to be able to drink it until when we get back in that car it's not going to be like alcohol it's not going to be like heroin it's not going to be like crack cocaine it's going to be better are you kidding me we're going to be so addicted to going to that gas station that we're going to completely forget that we sold one of our children into a life of prostitution debauchery or just pure evil that we literally sold our new baby for its rib meat because somebody there's this fast food restaurant that has a super deluxe menu item where it's made out of Hino human baby rib meat you know sauteed with onions and garlic so we were able to sell her baby to get that electric car now we have forgotten about that because we can buy the half caffeine have corn syrup refreshment on the way to work. well you electric car Wong sir fantasizing about me no
The word “emotion” should appear in the decision matrix of choosing an electric car. What a happy coincidence for this to come out the same day that I put a down payment on my first car (Škoda Citigo iV a.k.a. the bohemian twin of the VW e-Up).
No more so than for any other car. I'm excited about getting my e-Soul, but would be just as excited if it were a gasoline powered variant. That's because I'm excited about the car as a whole, not its drivetrain per se. Then again, I'm not a religious EV zealot.
You're right on the 'gamifying' of the drive experience. "Can I go without braking at all, just one-pedal and regen?" and related "how many miles can I get per kilowatt-hour?" And LOL - "I can drive... to France".
I love the gamification of driving for economy. I have been doing this for years now, plugging into the obd 2 port with a fuel economy computer in ice cars. I love that my Bolt EV displays all this information without any modification. I have had my EV car since May of 19, and can honestly say that it's the best car I've ever owned as a petrol head my whole life.
Here in the USA, my wife and I are proud owners of two Nissan Leafs, both SV trims but one of them is a PLUS model which adds a bigger battery with more zip. For getting into EV driving we found these cars were so easy to adapt to everyday driving and we use the EPedal mode(accelerator pedal only) to drive around on our trips out. Regen, Regen! We have a fond love of both Leafs that are very comfortable inside and my wife's has a few more options than mine but they are still very similar. The lower price is what we found the most attractive along with the ranges, 150 mi and the PLUS has a 230 mi range. These ranges fit our driving styles perfectly around town and I don't miss the gas station at all. Some of the hidden gems for EV vehicles are basically no maintenance, the quietest ride, instant heat when needed(no warm-up), premium parking at times with charger locations, garage stays cool in the summer and basically only tires to buy. They are worth checking out!
You actually should look at efficiency instead of range, the Tesla Model 3 really kills it there. As that is how many miles you get pr. kw charged, and it also indicates how much it would lose over time and in cold weather.
What a authentic and informative video, I hope this goes viral in a sense, it will change or at the very least make people think better about ev and thier prices in general. Very well put together👍👏
I know that you are an innocent child and you don't actually mean with most people would say you have said. The cost of batteries has coming down much faster than the prices of electric cars. That is the opposite of what the free enterprise system is supposed to ensure. The free enterprise system does things like provides plain old telephone phone service to everybody which is in today's world under ground charging continuously. You don't have to have dangerous tracks that people can die if they step on. You don't have to have batteries. You don't have to have vehicles that cost more than a used car headed to the landfill. You can have Mobility second to none if you get rid of these euge insane batteries. You don't have to capture countries to tax people the line the pockets of sociopaths who proposed this as a solution. They have the money to bribe people into complicity. Whether it's Vimeo or some other site yet founded that actually allows the truth to be told your support or will follow it you I consider the possibility are not as evil as you here appear to be.
@@marsBeBelinda Google translate messed up a few words in your message, which was dumb anyways, you full of conspiracy theories etc, forget that and focus on your own stuff, then maybe one day you will have the power to make a difference if that's what you want
Loved the expression and the way you gave your confessional, of being an evil ICEV user :) ...... Your are just what this channel needs to take it to the next level... Good luck finding something that fills your needs....
Loved the first episode. The only issue at the moment with choosing an electric car model is depending on where you live, you may or may not be able to find demo cars in your local dealership, and even once you have decided what you want and place your order, you may end up on a waiting list for 6-9 months before you can get your car.
Love Maddie!!! Great episode, everyone should be buying EV's and never buy another gasoline/petrol car again! Tesla Mod3 is the best car for the money and simply, the best car.
Except here in France the Model 3 long range in red (to beat the Kona’s range) is 18k euro more than the top spec Kona, add autopilot is another 6.3k euro. I’m sorry, but it’s not worth that much extra, you could buy a whole another car for that money!
@@guitarbackingtracks4386 Good points. Although I'm a fan of Tesla, I think whichever EV works best for the person, they should buy one as I don't even own a Tesla, I own a Chevy EV and love it. Avec amour!
@@guitarbackingtracks4386 One point, Autopilot comes as standard it's FSD that has to be added on which unless your willing to wait for that to actually work or really want the current features, it isn't that necessary. It is the more expensive car but "performance" cars usually are more. Same as a 3 series is more than the regular Kona, by more than double, though the Kona EV is double the ICE price in the UK (different spec might account for that to a degree)
Yes because The Tesla model 3 is so affordable starting from £42,500 I am glad you love but it is out of the range of a large amount of people. Which is why for a number of years yet petrol cars are still going to be on the road As the secondhand market is huge and for a first car spending £4,000 you can come out with something fairly decent.
That was an excellent video, very informative and lets face facts Maddie is an excellent presenter and very easy on the eye, a refreshing change from most EV reviewers. I am in the process myself of looking at going over to an EV and have found some car dealers very willing to help and others that altthough the manufacturer produces EV's the dealers quite frankly are not interested, why, I do not know, they just show a lack of interest and knowledge of the vehicle, in some of those dealerships I know more about their product than they do, disapointing to say the least. Anyway I look forward to watching the other EV videos with Maddie.
A keen interest in EVs brought me here, but it’s due to Maddie that I’m staying for the journey ... her warmth and enthusiasm shine through and I look forward to sharing in and learning from her EV experiences
Wow, I genuinely felt excited to be "along for the ride" here. Thanks heaps Maddie and the rest of the team for bringing this series out. Can't wait to see the next ep.
Great start. One thing that needs to be covered is those potential customers who have no chance of a home charger (flat-dwellers, town-dwellers with no drive or garage and so on) and those who have no regular place of work or a place that has no chargers. (Yes, I know this channel has covered these points, but if this mini-series is aimed at newcomers, it should mention it.)
@@electricsnut I think it does, If a product is shit it's reputation will lead people to stop buying it. Renault brought EV's to the massess first. Tesla are gaining ground years later.
Thee Adjudicator LOL if you think Renault lead the EV industry, you are living in a bubble, no one can match Tesla’s range / performance and supercharger network in one package. Tesla are who made EVs more than an ugly car no one wants to drive.
Great start to what looks like being a very informative series. Maddie is like a breath of fresh air (just what you get with BEV!) and a good addition to the Fully Charged team. I'm really looking forward to the next episode.
12:35 When people still believe that a Model 3 starts at £80.000 it's no surprise that they won't even consider that EV's are an affordable option for them today. I think almost every family in my neighbourhood could afford an EV today but they don't even know about it.
Robert Uhm no. The only thing the Kona has is the 3k lower price. But you safe 3k by giving up updates, better safety, better charging, better upgradeability, better acceleration, better efficiency, better looks, better software, better self driving possibilities
I like how relatable this series is; Maddie being a perfect audience surrogate. I expect most of the viewers are in the same boat - liking the idea of owning an electric car but having not made the leap yet.
Well said David Calder. This video is the Goldilocks of clips the presentation is delightful and the content crafted. This video deserves to be shared far and wide, to family and to Friends.
If anyone is considering a purchase, there is no other logical option but to choose a Tesla Model 3. 8 years warranty for battery and motors and obviously the battery technology (strange these points weren't considered on the comparison), alone, double the value of the Tesla. And for how much more? Besides that? 10+ years experience, wireless updates, sentry mode, driving aids, software, etc, etc, etc. Any other option just doesn't make sense IMHO... The fact that BMW and Mercedes chose to buy 60 Teslas for their electric taxi joint venture should be enough for anybody.
Hmmmm, from your view I’m sure that you are correct. But I only drive 100 miles a week and the Skoda Citicar is on sale for £18,000, so that’s £22,000 less than the Model 3. I could literally have two Skodas and for the price of the Tesla, and some change. So there are many options for people, depending what they need in life.
@@Muppetkeeper FYI, the Tesla Model 3 is rated as the second safest car on the road, just behind the Tesla Model S and with the Model X in 3rd place. IMO there's no compromise worth the money where safety is concerned, especially compared to a Skoda. Plus the Tesla Model 3 is simply THE BEST EV on the road to date, and with Full Self Driving coming soon to an over-the-air-update near you, it's years ahead of the competition. But as they say, you get what you pay for ;?)
It's good, but it's not perfect - if it were, Tesla wouldn't need to bring out the Model Y, etc :p For myself, I'm - probably - just about to buy a PHEV. I did look at the Tesla (looked very very hard, and tried to make the math work for me), but the majority of my journeys will be short range (
It should be mandatory for anyone looking to replace their car to watch this series to see how most people could own an EV. I dont currently but when it comes time to replace my car I will be getting an EV for sure. Looking forward to the next episode's. And enjoy all the content on the channel. Well done.
You do understand that the United States to have commenting enabled for children Superstar is a federal violation days perpetrated the law has been in effect for many days by the time this episode was published and yet were able to comment? Our children not actually being protected in America as we have been told? Why are these comments still here it's not minutes later or hours later its day's comments need to be disabled we can't wait till Monday where is the tag team where is the SWAT team to get these comments off this channel children are watching children might be reading this prop procar pop propaganda is what the law was written to prevent being a president to children with the public supposedly chiming in with anyting like that is utterly false. This is an advertisement for cars being marketed to underage children like eight and nine year old boys and girls.

Excellent. And great for answering those 'stupid' questions that everybody wants to ask but were too embarrassed to ask because they don't want to look like a newbie.
What's really nice about this presenting is that Maddie is learning at the same time as many of the audience are. It might be a little too obvious/basic for some, but this is a beginners guide.
DarkStryder360 I believe that Tesla is the best value in terms of cost per mile. This is a interesting review that simply throws fundamental physics out the window. It’s good there are so many choices, and sadly many will learn the hard way.
I really appreciate this comparison of EVs and showing all the options out there. Really looking forward to Fully Charged Live USA! And I am biased as a Model 3 owner, but if you can afford it, there’s kinda no choice over a Tesla.
I can’t afford a Tesla. I’m waiting to get my third Zoe (2020 model), and there are plenty of choices, especially when cost is an important factor. To be honest, if I had the money I’d get at least a model 3...
This is the video that bridges the gap to the next generation. Maddie is fantastic on the series "Do you know?" and is a great addition to fully charged :-)
When you consider charging on the road, Tesla's price per mile at Supercharger stations is unbeatable. Ionity just dramatically raised their price and is no longer a good value - "The Ionity network will be open to Tesla owners. Hajesch said Ionity would charge 79 euro cents per kilowatt hour for customers who don't have a contract with a mobility service provider for a different rate. That replaces the previous price of 8 euros ($8.80) " $59 per charge is absurd.
It does seem a bit suspicious that as soon as VW, Porsche, Audi, and Mercedes release credible electric vehicles, the charging network owned by those automakers raise the price just enough to make a Tesla on parity with a diesel car for "filling the tank".
@@davidsommen1324 But it is. The 0.79 Euro/kWh price doesn't apply if you have an MSP contract, which is only available through Ionity charter manufacturers. Namely, VW Group, Daimler, and BMW insideevs.com/news/393549/bjoern-nyland-ionity-prices/
@@Markle2k notif tesla owners eager to pay fourxxx euros an hour can't cut ahead of plan members. That would not stand. Congestion auction pricing is essential. Expect vans filled with titanate to deliver full tanks at curb thru megawatt fat schlang if not and those robots will be in line at ion during peak times to run interference duh. Correct?
That may be the case but it is also your worst enemy if the electric car is force a helping you with your daily life helping your Mobility you don't want to call her if that's what it's all about in the future like a year away are you kidding me any year you could ban all cars in your city and import infrastructure vastly Superior for far less debt. This fact believe it or not is inarguable. I don't think that's going to stop you from dismissing it but don't get me wrong about that. But you know I have hope. Surprise me.

Remember to check out the teslas too. Maddie apparently filtered out at 40k so the long range was not displayed. Also, it has autopilot and should have Full Self Driving (Yes, it should drive itself after receiving an update like your iPhone) by next year

I'm really surprised you didn't test drive the Tesla. Every video I've seen where they've compared the Kona to the Tesla has said it is a night and day experience. Tesla often sends out free over the air updates to improve performance and range...and video games/Netflix to keep you entertained while charging. No other EV comes close. I looked at several before getting a Tesla too...the test drive is what sold me.
One important topic that needs to be covered is that of Insurance. I got a list of quotes, using a diesel burner as a reference point: Diesel Golf £247 (£500 excess) E-Golf £299 (£500 excess) Kia Niro £356 Kia E-Niro £435 (Didn't check the excess, but let's assume £500) Tesla Model 3 Long Range £614 (£850 excess) This is something that needs attention. Why are electric vehicles more expensive to insure? It's probably worth an episode in it's own right.
Please can Maddie make it to FullyCharged USA this year??? She’s so down to earth and approachable. She would just be a great addition to the crew! See you guys there!
Oh god, I'm now realising that choosing for someone who doesn't understands EVs is VERY difficult! Choosing on the basis of range is totally wrong, especially if sometimes you have to do long trips, is much more important to evaluate fast charging capabilities, and relative efficiency, not range because when you go over 600km it becomes irrelevant! Choosing a Kona over a Model 3 SR+ based on range, is totally wrong, because the Tesla has the supercharger network, the integrated route planner, is more efficient, and especially it can charge at over 140kw, while the kona only tops out at 70kw
Alexjkz Maddie said that she rarely does long trips and will be getting a home charger, so your view that the Tesla supercharger are important isn’t valid for her at all. The only way EV’s are going to win is if people who understand them stop pushing their requirements onto other people.
Biggest mistake if she chooses a Kona over the Model 3 SR for the extra 10 miles range. The Model 3 SR is in a different league: superchanging at 170kw vs 75kw , superchargers network, autopilot, its faster, sexier, much better software with more features, ...
colorrage In the UK the Kona is £35k and the Tesla is £42k. Considering our median wage is about £30k per year, that extra £7k is very significant. Tesla’s are much better value in the US than they are over here, which is why the are a lot fewer of them.
This is brilliant! I am I the same situation, I’ve got 6 months left on my ICE car and I’m going to hand it back. I’d love an EV, but know very little about them. this series couldn’t have happened at a better time! Thank you!
Top marks for this series of videos, and you've only released episode 1! As someone who aquired a 'self charging' hybrid in June 2019 and has been looking into full EVs ever since (looking ahead to my next car already), I'm finding this episode extremeley helpful. Thanks.
You're welcome but enjoy being able to read my response to your comment now because the choice of this child popular famous presenter Dooms our ability to exchange facts and indicates that they're not really about what they claim to be about any more than Elon Musk and bringing his monstrosity is to Market with silent moderation being essential for that to occur. If we had have a law if there had been say a democrat in the White House during Elon musk's reign of initial Terror we would see cities composed of actual wonderful complete conversion Mobility Vehicles Etc all of the cars would be gone from Manhattan all of the cars will be gone from Chicago all the cars would be gone from San Diego and Santa Monica etc etc. There is no question about this hindsight candy and is in this case on my part 20/20 not candy but can be or no either candy candy candy candy I like that do you want a future that is candy like in terms of everybody getting to where they're going painlessly without having to spend almost anything like free Transit you know you can't provide free electric car is everybody it can we agree upon that I think we can but you can provide something vastly Superior to what happens when you allow any kind of cars to be operated in the side of such cities and by such cities I mean most of the population of most countries they want they prefer they need clearly the superior alternative which is to say hey the electric cars the gas car if they all got to go they're not built for this environment you can't just wave the warranty requirements of every other product that is marketed and sold and used in these communities cars you got to apply them and when you apply
Well I thought it had failed to record much of what I just said because you know I had a momentary good LTE connection there so actually why did have that connection so actually that is what I just said it captured the last word and I can't see
Continuing my reply to you on here this RU-vid it with the interjecting reply noted But continuing from the prior comment the application of civilization the laws that we have in terms of warranties that are implied for the fitness of what is being marketed to the general public do not apply to cars. It's not just offshore your deep ocean bottom exploitation that endangers the entire oceans all the life and that there's no insurance for etcetera. It is the cars in general that are unquestionably unfit for the purpose that they are unquestionably universally being bought and used for. The only defense that car is can possibly have is that having a ten box for gasoline and you know a small amount of metal that can be efficiently formed as Henry Ford was able to demonstrate into a vehicle so that you can keep it in your garage for like say 10 15 20 years before you all go anywhere and it maybe just started up once a week that is really something special. The problem with that is that now we have liquid nitrogen and wild liquid nitrogen is not the best fuel to use if you want to keep it in the tank for 10 years before you go anywhere with it before you do anything with all that potential energy that you got there in that tank without any pollution what's the weather having been generated from the production of it or the use of it well you'll 10 years I'm not even sure 10 years maybe 20 years because with a small solar panel you can continue to condense the nitrogen as well as a heat leaks into the tank the tank is still cheap of course and frankly in the summer you're going to want then. Just leak the the nitrogen but you're going to have a use for the nitrogen gas as it comes out of the tank you're going to have a use for the nitrogen as it warms up because it's going to be like delivered to your house much colder and so as it warms up in your emergency escape Jeep in the garage for 20 years 30 or 50 or is it a time as it warms up in there it'll just flush into a different larger tank for your house that powers the turbines that pump the heat into or out of your house and does all the other work that you need to do but in a while it's still very very cold it's got to get warmed up right got to get warmed up some more so I might as well be standing by on board your car in case you need to get out of there and buy get out of there I mean you know the 0 to 200 miles per hour like 2 or 3 seconds if you have the straight away to get that done so that there is no natural disaster note tsunami earthquake no nuclear missile that you can't outrun. That list thing cost almost nothing. That actually is important believe it or not that it doesn't cost anything to have super torque that makes electric motors the Wimpy obsolete nonsensical copper hogging monstrosity is that they are.
@@glenf4115 Hi Glen. Yes I've seen Robert's and others. That's why I used the term and put it in quotes. I can see where Toyota are coming from and also why some people are ranting at it.
She really glossed over the lease costs. On a direct ICE vs EV comparison, unless you do a VERY high mileage (over 25k miles per year), EVs are way more expensive. On a minimum 5k miles per year lease, the same car works out £170 per month more after ALL costs. Using the new Peugeot 208 EV as an example, drive.google.com/file/d/1va3fz80IAzFW0kFzDRTRvK3bJalySdyj/view?usp=sharing
I can’t lease an EV, max mileage is 15k and I exceed that. Leasing a Kona for three years up to 15k miles £700 a month. Seven Hundred Pounds. Leasing for low mileages is actually less nuts than high.
M Hadi hey, that’s a recent quote from Drive Electric. Just a headline price so no idea what’s included.... I mean. Argue if you like but that’s the number I was given and it’s unaffordable. I wish it was different.
But you possibly could lease a Renault Zoe with a similar range cheaper. I have a very low budget so I have gone for bank finance used Zoe with a battery lease. It suits my needs, so you need to do your research also be realistic on the range you need. One 300 mile trip once a years doesn't mean you need a 250mile range car for everyday use.
Full marks for braving this issue. So many EV choices in 2020. Choice is good, but can be overwhelming for those new to electric vehicles. You were less than transparent over specific leasing costs, but did show purchase prices. I know leasing looks expensive, particularly as the savings are only apparent over time eg fuel, road tax, service, but we might as well know! The horses for courses approach is a great way of viewing the multiple EV choices. I' d also say that many two-car families keep an ICE vehicle along with their EV. It's a good way of adapting to the change from petrol/diesel. Thanks and good luck with the series!
So in America the ABC Network had a crime TV show that gotten viewers from showing a little bit of skin from week to week they would hire a very pretty lady to apt on the show and they would show their boobs or their ass and they did that for the men as well and they got lots of you or I think you might be aware of this history or assume if you're not aware of it you're appreciative of it. Regardless there is a reality here that I think is being ignored
What is the reality that is being so ignored you say? Well in that series they would sometimes have a can of Coca-Cola or I can of Pepsi. This is some time ago but that didn't stop them from changing which can God broadcast but you know like with I wanted Michael Jackson they made him use the computers to put a towel to cover his private parts and one of his music videos you remember that? So when you see that website and you see that advertisement clearly and you say well that's just random there are just lucky and you might be correct because this is after all Amateur hour Well for now it is oh, but what about the future the next episode they're going to like contact the different advertising say we filmed the scene with each of your ads have a little auction you know who who wants to be shown with this huge third of the screen or whatever is right on the top and dreaming there about artificial intelligence in marketing for dummies right you did see that ad I know that you did we all saw the same at or did we Maybe not maybe in other markets they had a different Advertiser maybe this is something that RU-vid offers Channel creators you can upload one version except what except that they want to be the ones that put the ads right? And they charge a premium for people who are being told there aren't going to be ads on the shows that are on here correct? I mean Sony has produced the game called Detroit becomes human and Sony is likely to make a significant amount of money from people who play it and upload their videos and then going to split with the channel content creators being of course the creator of the content themselves and being there for otherwise aggrieved but for the fact that people don't go to movies anymore so the only way to get paid to produce content is the produced it in game format and then have RU-vid show people who don't have 16GB of ram Etc on their home computer watch RU-vid Watch other people engaging and learning and instead of paying for something for more you know what sane to be doing they're just watching ads and doing things like buying another car and dooming all of us to perhaps a fiery if sudden death?

Good for you! I've been driving an EV for 7 years and I haven't been to a gas station in 7 years. I'd rather go back to dial-up internet (ouch) than to a gasoline car.
So you never used bulletin board systems as what you're saying that's why you don't miss having the ability to connect directly to somebody else without anybody eavesdropping and everything that occurs between the two of you?
Because they would have to give specific examples. And as soon as you do that, you have negative-ninnies jumping in claiming that the examples aren't suited to their particular needs. This is where a spreadsheet is necessary. You have to make people provide their own figures so that they have ownership in the result by owning the input.
Great video and look forward to the rest. On a side note why do people who are not interested in EVs watch these videos then feel the need to post derogatory comments.
This series helped me address a few concerns I had about buying my first EV while still living in an apartmentt. Now I've been driving electric for almost a year! Thanks for the fresh look, it really helped.
I'm extremely dubious of the Carwow range tests... iirc they drive a 'fixed course' for about 10 miles, then extrapolate range based on how much the GOM drops... for the few reviews / shows I watched, the numbers they were coming up with didn't match the 'real world' numbers actual drivers were getting. Iirc they also didn't control for external factors (temperature, etc).
@@logicalChimp if you watch that video, they basically take 6 (I think ;?) EVs and take them all out for a drive across the English countryside, and then as each car reaches its limit, they exit the motorway, head towards a charging station, and then just drive around in circles until the vehicles finally run out of juice. After that they compare the actual miles to the numbers each manufacturer claims. The Tesla did come out on top, but the range was only 78% of what Tesla claims, and although all the other cars had similar or worse numbers percentage-wise, I have to say it was the worst I've seen a Long-range Tesla do, they are usually much closer to the company's numbers (but it was cold and other factors may have played a part).
We are familiar with Maddie through my toddler, and she brings the same easy going presenting style to this. My other half is not a car or an EV person, but I think she will really appreciate this series (as do I) and it will help our transition to the world of EV. Thanks Maddie and Fully Charged.
No? The Tesla is 3rd with 210 miles? On the other website she was on there was different stated ranges. Tesla got 254 miles, but the Kona got 279 miles range. Tesla Fanboy.
@@PStar42 What do you mean? Robert Llewellyn owned a Tesla Model S and now owns a Tesla Model 3! The channel has never been "Tesla Adverse", Tesla isn't the only good electric car.

Absolutely not. Seems like another Tesla fanboy to me.
@@jay-uo2bi Okay, maybe the Kona has got a bit better range than the base model 3. I just noticed that 210 miles was waaay off and wanted to correct that. And perhaps I am a bit of a fan boy but that is with a few good reasons.

Dominic Holder 1st confess I didnt watch the whole post...and she stated she was on a limited budget and was only going to use it in city... but since she expand that ofc a model 3 should consider it....But Im not going to debate all the good and bad points it has, like its high insurance cost and its AP deaths with an apparent "cult drone" ,who only talks about its good points...

Hybrid is certainly the way to go for now. If your not confident on range for the price. Anything is better than nothing. Give it a few more years and electric will be on par or cheaper than ICE.
I own a 2017 Volt, and I love being able to drive almost exclusively on electricity. It's funny though, because now I absolutely hate it when it switches to fuel. I've only had the Volt for a few months, but I really want a full EV now!
18 months ago we got a second hand golf gte, there's some good deals about as a lot are coming off lease. Based on 20k km per year (+/- 80 km on week days and just short hopps at the weekend) we drive +/- 40% on electricity. Even in the winter we have to fill the 40 litre tank only once very 900 km. In the summer its every 1150km. Driving it is brilliant. On pure electric it just goes off the mark. If you really want to shift you press the GTE button and it takes off like the proverbial off a proverbial. Mentally it just feels good when you take your foot off the accelerator and the energy isn't being pee-ed away. You have no range anxiety because you have a 40 litre tank. I agree with prerunnerwannabe - you actually feel fed up when you see the rev countre click in and its running on petrol. Hope this real life experience story helps.
If you can afford a pure EV with the range you need a PHEV makes no sense. Hybrids are the worst of all worlds - all the complexity of the ICE, often lesser performance.
@@matthewseymour8972 I just can't quite afford a full EV at the moment. In my mind a VW GTE songs perfect. Pure electric for my commute to work and petrol for everything else. But I do get your point though.
