I try to find out how efficiently the world's first electric station-wagon can be driven. Is it possible to drive it with less than 14 kWh/100 km?

The video is very pixelated, otherwise very informative, and very fair appraisal of the MG5 estate. This is the most affordable EV in UK. and now has decent range.

yes pixilated screen on fast speed video is anoying.

It is pixelated because blurring every licence plate would be quite time-consuming ;)

Hi Helmuth. Enjoy your videos, however I try I don't achieve your results, any chance of you trying the suzuki ignis with the cvt, this transmission seems to be quite sophisticated for a budget car with an excellent ratio spread. Regards Alan.

Hi Alan, I will register my interest for the Ignis with the dealer. best regards Helmuth

Nice video.I have been driving electric cars for over 30 years.I am so old that I even used Pb batteries.For 15 years now its litium. There is a lot of "trues" in ev society that is not true for us who drives ev daily for many years. As you say, regenerating does not save energy in open road drives. I checked that many years ago, so now I have no regenerating at all in my ev.It mostly useless. Another issue that you dont mention, is that the weight of the car is not realy important .When I changed from Pb batteries to litium my car lost about 400 kg in weight.I was so excited and thought that the efficiency would increase with the lower weight. There where no change att all. At a distance for 50 km the consumption still was about 55-60 Ah. I was very dissapointed but fact is fact.The most important way, as you also say, to save energy is to never disturb the kinetic energy , let the car roll as much as possible.

I recently did Bristol to Southampton and back on a single charge. With sm very steep hills on the way. For both ways average consumption without air-con 4.4m/kwh. Not that bad I would say..

Is it better to drive on KERS 1 instead of 3? I thought having 3 charged the battery more?

@ecodriver1746 2 жыл бұрын

Where's the energy for charging coming from? The car is losing speed! And as you never regenerate what you had invested before it's always a loss of energy. Coasting as much as possible is the most efficient way of driving an EV. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8yXqq-qnNiRlXU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htqSn9NlysnTmZc.html

@@ecodriver1746 I watched the videos, and more of yours. Amazing videos really! I ordered my first ever electric car a couple of weeks ago (MG5 LR Luxury) and I am hyped beyond belief! So correct me if I am wrong, so regenerating (KERS) is only good to use if you HAVE to stop? Hence if I coast when I can and use KERS to stop my car (instead of ordinary braking), I am most efficient?

@ecodriver1746 2 жыл бұрын

No, even if you use the pedal to brake the car the electric motor is used. Only once the power to brake the car exceeds the regenerative capacity of the motor the mechanical brakes are used.

Für BEV gilt Tempo 130 auf der Autobahn, nicht 100. Das ist dir sicher bekannt.

@ecodriver1746 2 жыл бұрын

Nein wirklich... :) Klar, ich sage das normalerweise auch immer dazu und erkläre, warum ich mich trotzdem auf 100-105 kmh beschränke. Diesmal habe ich es rausgeschnitten, da die Hintergrundgeräusche (Wind) so laut waren, dass es sehr schlecht geklungen hat (ich habe das auf der Autobahn gesprochen). Auf dem englischen Kanal empfinde ich das jetzt nicht als essenziell, auf dem deutschsprachigen sehr wohl, wo die Chance dass einer der Zuseher mal hier fährt doch wesentlich grösser ist. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpOHiq2c35rXZpc.html
