Thanks for the review. A couple points. 1. Generally a higher battery temp will increase the charging rate as lithium ion batteries want to be around 25C for optimal charging. 2. Several EVs are able to take HVAC Power above the Battery charging power so that warming the car will not adversely affect your charging rate. You could test that on the vehicle by watching the charger rate then turning on the HVAC which will draw about 5kw while heating I presume. 3. Charging near the high end like 80% will generally be slower. Would be better if you could plan to start charging at about 10% if you want to see optimal rate. I have had a Chevy Bolt EV for a couple years.
I saw through app ABRP that the bestest is when you drive between 100 and 103km/h... You have to drive for 30 minutes prior your arrive at 80km/h to cool the batteries, during the summer
Honestly 90kph is about right for most british roads, will only be at 110 on the motorways when trying to get somewhere quickly and 130 is already WELL into speeding fine territoryfor UK motorways X3 Glad to see it holding up so well in efficiency. I would definitely recommend going from 15%-70% on fast chargers, rather than 25-80, due to the charging speed being SO MUCH faster below 30%. Also it's better for the battery to do 15-70 (and is the optimal cycle for smartphones and laptops too!) :)
One numerical tidbit, looking at 90kph vs 130kph is 44% faster. Then looking at 128wpkm vs 185wpkm is 44% higher so that is pretty good. Yes it's just down to charging time. I looked up the e-Up can do 20mim 0-80% with a 50kW charger and those Ionity stations are capable of at least 150kW at 400v so they will not limit you. I think that you will see better charging speeds if battery warn, which high speed should get you and you get initial charge state like 5-10% though I know that may make you nervous. Again thank you for your videos, feel very real.
thanks for this video. it was very important to mo, because this is how i drive my cars to work (90-100 kmh) and im thinking about small electric car like that.
At home charging speed normally doesn’t matter if you plug in when you come home from work and set what time you wish to departure. But at for longer trips it’s all about charging speed 50kW is minimum 250kW or more is the dealbreaker.
What was the air temperature? This matters in 2 ways: colder air is more dense, and so aero drag goes up (significantly) in colder air. And the cabin heater also has to work harder, the colder it is. The seat heaters are not going to make a noticeable difference.
Hi, the lane assist on the e-up will steer the car on to the curve or just signal with a beep or something when going outside the lane? I am waiting for my e-up, hope to get the car next week :). Thanks!
It does steer the car back in the lane, it's actually a bit "aggressive" when driving in the city, I usually turn it off because it's a bit annoying to me
Ich bin ca 750km gefahren zwischen Tacho 95-110 mit einem Verbrauch von 13,3kwh laut Bordcomputer und Real habe ich 14,6kwh auf 100km gebraucht. Ich bin nachts gefahren hatte aber gute Temperaturen zwischen 15-20 Grad
I find the filming a bit chaotic. And the testing is not done in the same conditions. At the 130km/h test the climate system is turned of, where it is on with the first 2 tests.
At 15:23 in this video you show the charging rate falling from 17kW above 70%. The charging time from 70% to 80% is painful, so for your long trip to Prague would it be possible to charge to only 70% and still reach the next charger?
Hi, how many km you can do at 90km/h in the winter, with heat, lights, radio and phone? Thanks a lot. Thinking of this for my wife, 53km/day to go to work.
So if i understand correctly, in the First Test With average speed of 90kmh, you had a consumption of 13.5 kwh per 100km. At the Charging station ohne kwh 79 cents. So you paid 10,66€ FOR 100kmh ??? I Hope That ist Not the case cause this Would be Double the cost of my petrol vw up.
E-cars still have a lot to go before becoming a better option compared to internal combustion-powered cars. But they are getting better and better. If this car had twice the range and half the price, I'd buy it.
There have been electric cars that charge much faster and have much better range since 2012. What you're saying is that good electric cars need to get cheaper, and cheap electric cars need to get good, and that's slowly becoming a reality. Electric cars will soon reach price parity when it comes to purchase, and are already cheaper when considering running costs and maintenance
