Hell yeah

What Toyota did with the prius in the 90's and BMW in 2012 with the i3.

@@robertsaca3512 Prius run directly on fuel not like this car which is always run on battery

Chevrolet Volt in 2011

@@TariqSajidBMW i3 Range Extender (REx) since 2012. I believe they pioneered the concept.

According to the verification on the Japanese KZfaq channel, it had traveled 810KM. I think the maximum speed and climate differ depending on the country, so I don't think the results will be the same in all countries.

@@dauny08 damn that's pretty good.

typical mazda rear seat tbh, rear seat only for babies

It is just a compact SUV, what can you expect? If you have two six footers in front, the rear seats are great for three persons with no legs!

whats up with losers like you spamming comment sections with EV bullshit.

some people do not want to support lithium slavery at the start of the supply chain

To be fair the inefficient fuel consumption is expected in a sports/sporty car and it was somewhat competitive with its competition. As for the oil consumption it really isn't that bad. I own a rx8 and I never have to add oil to it in between my oil changes 3-5k miles. As for reliability it comes down to build quality and maintenance. Stay on top of it and don't do stupid stuff to the car and it lasts fine. My first engine lasted 166k miles before it started to lose compression and I bought another brand new from Mazda. Currently at 222k miles on everything but the engine with no issues and the engine has 56k miles with not problems. Don't buy into every stereotype u hear. Yes they have their problems but they aren't terrible engines.

that is what I say in the video ;-)

@@EdenMotorGroup At first you call it a 'hybrid' which most people consider to be dual power instead of an EV with a range extender.

I came up with the term in the video OGLEV. the reason I used hybrid at the start is that’s still technically what it’s called even if it’s factually incorrect

I disagree. This vehicle stands in a unique class of its own. You’re supposed to judiciously rely on electricity home / work charging to run the MX-30 R-EV. No daily home charge capability? Forget it. That’s its modus operandi. If you cannot adapt to that specific mode of operation or need a vehicle for long distances every single day, this is NOT for you. It’s not really a PHEV and shouldn’t be described as one. This car has a very unique operational skill set - and if you cannot adapt to using the preferred modus operandi - you don’t buy one. This is a thinking person’s EV with Rotary Range Extender (Battery Recharge Generator) capability. Any true NERD would also recognise what this is - and make a beeline for it. For regular commuting, that Rotary Range Extender will be barely used - especially if you don’t have a heavy foot all the time. It’s handy for the odd long distance journey - but not for long distances every single day. This would suit my lifestyle perfectly. And yes, I want one - and guess what? I’ve been driving a Prius for the last 10+ years. This is the perfect introduction to EV’s with a backup APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) to avoid the dreaded RANGE ANXIETY. You’ll never be stranded if you run out of charge. Thank you for a great unpretentious video - I think you’ve sold it to anyone intelligent enough to appreciate what this amazing and unique vehicle really is. p.s. This is a COUPE - hence the slightly reduced rear passenger space - which NO coupe lover would ever complain about.

Its a BMW i3 but actually good looking.

​@@datathunderstorm correct me if im wrong. So the rotary engine makes it accelerate faster than normal EV? The gas + rotary engine size stores and convert more energy than of a same size battery?
