.............................................................
Volkswagen’s new all-electric hatchback is here… And Mat’s taking it for a range test!
On the face of it, the ID.3 looks and sounds pretty impressive. Not only does it have a cool futuristic look, but you can get it with a 201hp electric motor, and up to 77kWh of battery capacity. That will do an impressive range of 342 miles, but it's the 260-mile-range model with a 58kWh battery that Mat's putting to the test here.
But could the stats be deceiving? Well, Mat’s putting this all-new EV to the test to see just how far he can go on a single charge! Not only that, but he’ll be sharing an all-new exclusive with you - finding out what happens when the battery’s fully depleted!
Do you think the ID.3 could be a suitable replacement for the petrol-powered Golf? It’s time to find out!

@@manaspradhan8041 Until we get fast chargers that can refill a battery in about 15 minutes, people are going to plan their journeys in the morning. If you had a busy day and your motorway journey home was 60 miles and your fuel showed 65, you would undoubtedly top up, but it is not so easy with an electric vehicle. A local delivery firm is using electric vans and every evening they limp in with all the warning lights on, even after cutting their run short. An accident on the bypass leading to the depot that caused a 30 minute delay would leave 30 vehicles stranded on the bypass, particularly if it happened in darkness or extreme weather conditions. Hopefully improved batteries, along with large numbers of fast charging points will be the way of the future, but at the moment the national grid could not meet the demand, A London bus garage looked at running an electric fleet. The electricity supply would take 7 years to complete at a cost of more than 20 million pounds. To convert all London busses to electric would require more electricity than the output of a nuclear power station. Prior to the high voltage national grid, London underground had 3 power stations. Battersea, Lots road and Greenwich. These are all now decommissioned.

@steave435 2 жыл бұрын

@@wilsjane Those cars would get home with more battery than expected due to creeping along at low speed instead of high inefficient speeds. Since you start each day with a full charge, and considering how easy it is for employers to set up EV chargers in their employee parking, the situation you're describing wouldn't even come up for the vast majority of people who just commuting to work, and if it does, the Tesla supercharger network is about to open up to non-teslas too, so that combined with all the other options means it actually *is* easy to recharge. Professionally driven vehicles that need to keep running all day is a different beast, but there's no reason to get a ICE car for your own personal needs anymore, as long as you can charge at home. If you can't do that, then yeah, it could be annoying though.

@BoatLoadsofDope 2 жыл бұрын

@@steave435 It's all about "what if's" and "when's" with you EV fanatics. ICE's will not die for a damn long time. They'll have to solve the massive infrastructure problem, as well as make chargers available to everyone. Not to mention super chargers needs tons of expensive infrastructure work to be capable of supplying the tons of electricity needed for those kind of chargers. Hence why the rollout of super chargers are very slow. Most people don't want to setup camp at a local grocery for 4 hours to fully charge their vehicles if they don't have Tesla's network available, nor a place to charge at home. Most people live in apartments, most people don't have private parking, most CEO's are not gonna get chargers for their employees, maybe themselves, not their employees. I don't see electric cars succed truly before we get affordable Solid state battery driven EV's. At that point Lithium driven EV's resale value will plummet to scrap prices.

When it is -15 celsius range 270-290 km. When it is +20 celsius range is 350-400 km. If you drive always 100 km/h range is 20 % lower. You can buy these in used also very reasonable prize too. Fastest charging speed has been so far 128 kw when the battery was warm and about 7 %. They tell that 100 kw is max but like I said 128 kw can be possible in good conditions.

The ID3 definitely has potential. As far as i can work out, the buggy technology is a classic example of how new technology is often full of bugs that are often fixed in later models, which is something I can live with. But what I don't like is high tech for the sake of high tech and touch sensitive buttons that don't work half the time. In my humble opinion, steering wheel controls need tangible buttons that work 100% of the time. It might be old fashioned and "clunky" but at least they're reliable. Fannying around with touch sensitive buttons and unreliable technology can be about as dangerous and distracting as using your mobile phone at the wheel.

They keep putting in dangerous touch screens with the excuse that "Oh, voice assist is available so you don't need to use it"... yeah, that works well then...

@C.I... 3 жыл бұрын

In addition, the shitty voice control in no way excuses their causing existing car functionality to become dangerous to use! I feel like a lot of people are unaware of how much they will endanger other road users in adapting to use controls that one has to look at to adjust. For instance, in a car with physical heater controls, one can adjust the heat, direction and intensity of air into the cabin and lose 0 awareness of the road ahead - it's muscle memory and does not require looking at the controls. Doing the same on a touch screen is another story: Let's assume that each button press on the touch screen takes 1 second (including both looking and pressing). Adjusting the same 3 controls in this way at 60mph will mean a combined 78 meters of nearly blind driving. For context, this is farther than the total distance (reaction + braking) required to stop at this speed (highway code). And that's generously assuming that none of these are behind a secondary menu, or are in different ones, and that you're only pressing each control once! It honestly blows my mind that it is still legal to operate a touch screen while driving.

I have them in my A6 and they are fine. You get used to them as you do manual controls. When I switch back I get the problem the other way now

@cemerson 3 жыл бұрын

You might well 'get used to them' but they still take your attention away from the road when you use them, because there's no tactile feedback, no idea about where on the screen your finger is without looking, and you have to look at the screen to find out.

Or they should, at least, make a tablet board that isn't completely flat so that you have guides without needing to look. Or better, they should use the type of knobs you fin on some Imacs keyboards, where the purpose of the button and what's written on it change depending of how you use it. With such a system, you could control all parameters of the car with 8 to 9 buttons.
