Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy it :-D

Thanks for watching!

Thanks mate!

Thank you! 👍

Thanks for watching! You'll probably enjoy our parking explained and 4WD controls videos as well :-D all in the playlist in the description.

Glad you like them!

Ha ha. Was just easier to use one brand so it all looks the same.

@@CarExpertAus Lol, the video was amazing! especially the analogy about the 330e and the taking off part, it was brilliant

Thanks mate!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Not a bad idea as well on the maintenance front.

Ha ha.

Thanks! Going well so far - we’ve scored well with a happy baby!

Much appreciated!

Thank you!

Ha ha. True.

But diesel is better for daily driving

Ha ha, thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! Yes will do this when I do a review of my Model 3.

Thanks! Yes hoping to get our hands on one soon.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Cheers!

Good thinking!

Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Good thinking! WIll try and do something on this.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Ha ha, thank you.

Thanks! And agreed - I’m hoping we see a bigger uptake of hydrogen technology.

Yes that's right. The more expensive they are, the closer they are to their ICE competitors.

Thanks! Yeah it's a great car, just shame about the waiting list. Even on the second hand market they're super expensive.

@@CarExpertAus Yeah $48500 at the moment for it brand new, it's certainly up there. What got me on to that car was your previous review of it actually.

I've owned a hybrid RAV4 now since October last year, and absolutely love it!! Averaging just over 5 litres/100km (AWD version).

Thanks for watching and great comment!

Thank you!

Ha ha, me too. And yes, great idea on the gearbox comparison.

Thanks! Yes I did want another hybrid in there but thought it’d be overkill alongside the 330e.

Yes you're right - on both fronts. The Nevera is amazing!

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed!

Good thinking!

Yep would like to have a drive of the new Toyota Mirai once we can get our hands on one in Australia.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells work similarly to a Hybrid EV: Essentially, instead of having a massive, heavy, Li-Ion battery on board, or a huge engine and fuel tank, you replace the engine with a fuel cell, and the battery with a gas cylinder filled with highly compressed hydrogen (which theoretically has an extremely high energy density as a fuel, but the process of actually creating the fuel is very costly and inefficient, again shifting the energy problem elsewhere to fossil fuels in the grid.) The hydrogen is then sent from the tank through a hydrogen fuel cell when needed, which acts like the "engine" of the car. It comes into contact with oxygen and chemically combines with it creating useful energy, and as a byproduct, pure water. The energy is then sent to an electric motor and the car drives like an EV. They usually also have small batteries on board to regenerate energy during braking and to power the electric motor to improve efficiency. The water produced is simply dumped onto the road through an "exhaust" as it is nothing more than pure H2O. The easiest way to think of a Hydrogen car is to think of it as a Closed-Circuit Hybrid, with a lot of the same pro's and con's. The key difference being a Hydrogen tank instead of Petrol, and a Hydrogen Fuel Cell instead of an engine. The principle of operation is the same. When the tank is empty, simply stop and fuel up like you would with Petrol. As for Pro's and Con's: Hydrogen is difficult and expensive to work with. It is not readily available like other fuels, nor is it easy/cheap to refine. It also adds to the complexity and cost of the design and therefore higher purchase price and maintenance costs. In theory, Hydrogen could be used in an internal combustion engine, however the design would be similar to a 4 stroke engine, and needlessly complex when a Fuel Cell / EV hybrid is a simpler solution. Hydrogen is also theoretically better than batteries due to its much greater energy density, however a Pure EV is a much simpler design again. Personally I feel Hydrogen vehicles are a good idea, about 30 years ago. In this day and age, I feel the technology is too late to make a difference. - Are they better than internal combustion vehicles? If we had the infrastructure in place like we do for other fuels, costs were similar, and the extra complexity in maintenance was negated, then yes, they are better. Investing in this tech would have been a smart idea during the oil crisis when batteries were awful. - Are they better than electric vehicles? Only while battery technology is expensive, inefficient (low range), and slow to charge, otherwise no. It won't be long until those problems are overcome and we've already seen huge strides in this field. I see Hydrogen Fuel Cells as a Hybrid vehicle, and frankly I see Hybrids are a stop-gap measure between Internal Combustion and Full Electric vehicles - which once they are available to the masses in a cheap, efficient, environmentally friendly manner are simply the best design. I hope this helps. TL;DR: Hydrogen Fuel Cells work like a Petrol Hybrid EV, but are more complex, expensive, and 30 years too late. Full electric is the way cars will go in future, but for now consider everything but Hydrogen.

Thanks for watching! Will try and get our hands on one.

Yes - most of them have a hold mode that uses the ICE to charge the battery system. It can also add a degree of charge with regeneration when slowing down.

Good thinking!

Dct is my favorite

Ha ha, not sure if that's a complement!

@@CarExpertAus it is!

It works in a similar way to the DPF. The big difference is that the burn temperature in a petrol vehicle is around half that of the DPF. So it means it can achieve a particulate burn in a wider range of conditions in comparison to a vehicle with a DPF.

@@CarExpertAus with a diesel (Volvo in my case) the car needed to run uninterrupted for example on a freeway for the DPF to regenerate. Are you saying that PPF does not have that requirement? Would it regenerate at lower temperatures and shorter runs? I thought a PPF would operate in the same way as diesel - jump on a freeway, set cruise control on and drive for 20 mins.

There are more parts in a hybrid over a non-hybrid. But it'll be less net weight than a PHEV due to a smaller battery.

Will try and track one down!

Good thinking!

Torque - how hard you hit the wall Power - how fast you hit it

Amazing review

Yeah same I want Toyota Highlander review aswell

Yes! Just waiting to get our hands on one.

I'd stick to a diesel for economy and reliability

Eventually they will tax electric cars causing their running cost to equal a normal car. They don't last as long as a normal car. I have a car from 1925 and it has it's original engine. I don't think you battery will last that long. My advice stick with diesel with push rod engines no cams.
