Volvo C40 EV: KL to Penang without charging, can reach? - AutoBuzz
Рет қаралды 32,924
Күн бұрынIs it possible to drive an EV from KL to Penang in a single charge? We really want to know, so we took the fully-electric Volvo C40 a did a test. To make it more interesting, we created an EV Challenge. GC drove directly to Penang without stopping to charge, while Eu Jin stopped to recharge. Which method is faster? Did GC make it in a single charge? Who will arrive first? Watch to find out!

Eu Jin would have made it to Rasa Sayang easily if he only charged for 10mins at a 180kw charger. That would have cost 40 ringgit. He can then top up the battery at the destination charger in the hotel car park. People need to understand how to charge efficiently with EV on long journeys. If he had charged it for 10mins and 40rm at Simpang Pulai then his EV trip to Penang would have been just as quick and far cheaper than any other comparable 400bhp ICE car to do the same journey.

For the current EV tech, it seems like the owner needs to do some math for travelling, ppl were too comfortable with ICE car in which they can just get a full tank & walla, you're ready for long distance travelling .
@izhamsham843 10 ай бұрын
Quite sure they agreed to the almost full charging as a requirement for the challenge, just like one took the new bridge & the traffic jams while another took the old bridge with less traffic. If it was only to see who would arrive the fastest, they'd take the exact same journey to be absolutely fair. Hence the requisite almost full charging before taking off to slightly level the playing field.

Not wise for Eu Jin to charge over 80% using DC charger at Shell Recharge as it's charged slower and not worth the value.
@BalramNair 10 ай бұрын
RM120 ICE full tank, get to Penang without stopping (no toilet break also) with about 1 and 1/2 bar left. Speed was about 130-140km/h on average. EV is still expensive, only when the charging expenses lower i will switch, till then i stick to good ol ICE. 😊
@noorfarisasyiq 10 ай бұрын
If you drive long distance a lot ICE is still the way to go. EV's value comes in when driving in town. You probably wont ever need to pay for charging other than your home electricity bill 😁
@hachuah 10 ай бұрын
They charged at the most expensive charger in Malaysia, and they also charged to 90%+... who does that?? Looks like they're trying to get the highest charging price record.
@yeohpp2425 10 ай бұрын
It’s a very bad idea to charge 400V platform EV at Shell Recharge. Worse they charge to 90+% 😅 Better option is Charge at Tapah R&R or Ipoh which is 40-60% cheaper than Shell Recharge at Spg Pulai. Shell recharge is best for 800V EV platform such as Porsche/Kia/Huyndai… or join their membership for better rate.

An ICE car usually needs only 1/2 to 3/4 tank of fuel to reach Penang. And that's with 110+++km/h speeds. Guess no EVs for me yet..
@yeohpp2425 10 ай бұрын
In fact the range is depending on which EV. Driving at 110-130km/h some EV can reach Penang with 20-30% battery juice left.

@@yeohpp2425 Agree with you. There are already tech for batteries with 2-3x capacity but have to wait till it gets to production cars. Range anxiety is still a thing for EVs. But my take on this is the current fast charging cost v petrol.

Right away at 3:03 your friend catches you on video flooring it into the far fast lane around those caravan trucks. So what happens is you had negative 15 km left when you told Google to navigate because that's how you drive. So when Volvo says it gets 450 km that means normal people driving it normally and not trying to throw the range test by punching it and flooring it all over the place. 👍

Great video! However I have to say charging users based on time is ridiculous. Not to mention it's expensive. It should have been charged per kwh instead. I wonder whose "brilliant" idea it was to introduce time based charging🤦🏻♂️
