“Plug in hybrids”…the regular hybrids are fantastic.
-
I think you’re supposed to plug it in at home but then again this IS a show and isn’t always supposed to be trusted kinda like how Top Gear was
-
Yes they are unfortunately they still have the maintenance hell you get with regular ice on top

@@oumuamua1963that doesn’t bother me, I’m used to it.

Matt Watson bout to get into trouble by bmw aswell now lol

First was Mazda and now BMW

@DodgeCharger2011Ik lol, would be funny

That would be funny

Ihr Kanal ist für mich wie eine Oase des Komforts und des Interesses. Danke, dass Sie Ihr Talent mit uns teilen.❓⛄️🍑

Get a normal hybrid, not a plug in.
-
Or just use the plug-in hybrid like a normal human being. The benefit of it is you can use it just like a regular ICE vehicle. Charge it only when you get home on your own plug.
This race created a non-existent problem.

The payment difficulties are a part of the charging process. It’s unfair that the petrol car had to wait until the charge started, it’s not like the time it took to pay for the fuel was subtracted from the race either.

Charging a hybrid on public charger? It takes me 4 seconds to plug my ev in at home and 4 seconds to plug it out in the morning.
That means I spend around 16-24 seconds a week to always have a full “tank”.For those few occasions I travel more than 50km/day I need 15 minutes to charge.
But hey, I live in Sweden where we have electricity in our homes and actual fast chargers (that work) on the road.But hey.. whatever floats your boat Matt! 🙂
-
And when you do go past the 50km you can just keep going on a regular hybrid getting nice mileage

“Oh look, for my usage this test is irrelevan, I charge at home, surely everyone can do the same” said the mindless drone…
-
it’s going to be most people’s usage. The complaining about charging time is usually disingenuous, because over the lifetime of the vehicle, if you’re doing things correctly (ex, charging at home, at work, or both), you’re actually SAVING time with an EV because you’re not going out of your way to take your car somewhere else (however many minutes that takes*), to stick a nozzle in it for a few minutes, and then bring it back to your house (*).
EVs aren’t road trippers, sure. But they’re a better daily driver for anyone that has a driveway or a garage to put it in while it charges overnight. Hell, I’ve seen people charge their cars from street parking and just run a wire over the sidewalk. Even doing that you’re wasting less time than going to a gas station somewhere else.

Are you traveling with home?
-
@luiz6028 ‘with home’ they obviously won’t be ‘from home and back to home within the range of the battery‘ then even at 50km range some 75+% of journeys would be yes. For an EV with a 300 mile range then 99% of journeys would be yes.

Charging speed discrepancy is a classic example of how AC vs. DC charging impacts efficiency in electric vehicle usage. Looks like the i5 is really maximizing its 205 kW capabilities!
-
It was indeed less than ten
-
Regular hybrid is halfway home before the others charged.
-
Petrol?
What did you do? Drain the 12V starter battery? 😂 -
EV charging is so damn complicated when it doesn’t need to be. You need to have an app and then an account when it should be, remove the plug, plug it into your car, pay, and it starts charging. It’s so complicated and stupid. This is why mild and normal hybrids are superior to EVs and plug in hybrids.
-
The fact they all have their own proprietary apps as well.
Apps should be optional if you want to have additional benefits, but for regular charging, it should be a simple card authorisation then just press charge. No apps
I see people all the time just give up with electric car chargers outside -
Tesla solved this. No app. Just plug it in, and your VIN is already paired to a credit card that will automatically withdraw based on the amount you charged.
Rest of the automakers are now catching up to this. Expect in the next 5 years rest of the EVs to have this. Arguably then EV charging will be less complicated than filling up a gas car.
-
@kamilb8232 you need an app to even use the vehicle and you need the app to set up the auto pay charging. Still need an app. It’s still stupid.

I used a Tesla charger to fill up my VW id4 yesterday and it was the easiest charger I’ve ever used. I don’t even miss my diesel car anymore. -
All public chargers now have to accept contactless. You don’t need any app or anything else other than if you’re wanting a better rate.

I spend 5 seconds a day charging my tesla. Way, way less time than I did filling up a gas car. Plus, it costs me about $3 to add 300 miles of range. And I don’t have to go anywhere other than my garage to charge.
-
Me laughing at the petrol stations all the way to Spain when people are loading ev’s.
-
Charging at a super charger is 2x as expensive
-
The title of this video makes zero sense in this context… the whole point of the hybrid is that he didn’t even HAVE to charge it, because there’s a gas motor… and when you charge it in your garage each night, you don’t need to use the gas motor for your daily commute… 🤦🏻♂️
-
Why would you ever charge a hybrid at a public station? You don’t get that much mileage – enough to charge from a 110 outlet at home – and the engine charges the battery too…
-
Full EV’s are my favorite because they have the most power and torque, don’t need any engine maintenance, and have a smooth driving experience all the time, not just for the first 30 to 40 miles.
-
EVs are fine for small countries. However, in the US of A, EVs are only good for city use. Do not even think of trying a road trip in one.
-
The trouble with videos like this is that it is fixed in the old paradigm of people having to charge at special locations just like people have to fill up with fuel at petrol stations. The reality of owning an EV is you charge it at home. It takes 30 seconds of your time. Seeing the poor schmucks having to go and fill up their car with petrol while claiming it civilised feels like im looking back at the Victorian era.
-
Why didn’t the race start at the petrol station, the EVs should drive to the chargers, complete nonsense.
