Maybe they didnt work lmao

I wouldn't say most. I see maybe a quarter.

My exact thought. Kinda defeats the purpose of owning an EV. Haha

Can't wait to the see the finished electric hummer Jerryyyyy

I was wondering about that too. But they would only save on one charging time and it had to be a perfect stop to maximize that. If they arrived with half battery then they're only charging up half.

Since most people will rarely use their vehicles for such long range drives these tests do little to define real world scenarios especially for the person needing a dependable commuter car. Over 80% of EV owners charge almost exclusively at home. The reality is that most EV's used for commuter applications WILL RARELY EVER NEED TO USE A PUBLIC CHARGER. The kind of testing we need is a real world "convenience factor" test just for the commuter application. This would be a 6 month "commuter use" test of 225 miles round trip per day (this is obviously much longer than a typical commute but because there will always be some fossil fool who claims they need that much range per day to get to work). The EV's would of course be charged at home and have a full tank every morning before leaving their driveway. Also, the EV's would never need to stop at a public charging facility since the average long range versions are now good for roughly 300 or more miles per charge (412 miles per charge for the Tesla LR Model "S"). The ICE vehicles on the other hand will have to schedule at least two gas station stops every week. That sort of daily mileage with an ICE vehicle also means a scheduled oil change every 6 weeks (at least four oil changes in 6 months for the nearly 30,000 miles driven). So roughly 9 hours used to gas up (20 min per week x 26 weeks) and at least six hours wasted for the 4 oil changes (driving to and from a garage then sitting in its customer lounge waiting for the oil change or other routine maintenance). So to compare based on convenience the EV requires only 2 seconds of your day, one second to plug it in before going to bed and one second to unplug it before leaving in the morning (about 6 minutes of your life to maintain the EV over 6 months). A full tank every morning, warmed and defrosted before opening the garage door (try that with an ICE vehicle). THE EV REQUIRES NOTHING ELSE. However, by comparison the ICE vehicle will likely require its owner to be inconvenienced nearly 15 hours every 6 months. The disparity only grows with time. Thats 30 hours every year for the ICE vehicle. The average mpg for an ICE vehicle is 25 mpg so after 30,000 miles you're looking at a likely fuel bill of roughly $3600. Most non-performance EV's average 4 miles per kWh so that's 7,500 kWh at $0.11 per kWh or roughly $825 for the six months. For an ultra reliable commuter vehicle with the LOWEST COST TO OWN BY FAR, the EV wins hands down every time.

@@laneblount9888 I own an Hybrid Volvo XC40, and it would 100% have the same outcome as the Audi. Since when the battery is dead, it just uses the normal engine. The downside possible is that the hybrid might have needed to stop for gas one additional time since the tank normally is not as big, but otherwise it would not be different.

I agree. I would love to see something like this with conventional and plug-in hybrids and maybe some other types of EVs, such as a tiny econobox and a larger SUV or truck.

In Europe it's all CCS at this point (Teslas can use other chargers, but not reverse, due to billing process).

But honestly, considering how young the industry still is, it's already very well standardized. The only thing that's "missing" is for Tesla to switch to CCS in North America, which will hopefully happen sooner than later.

Well he actually partnered with Top Gear recently so there's that.

That was done to break up the monotony of the drive. 1000 miles in 1 day and 1 continuous trip is well within the bounds of single day trips some people take. But for production he split theirs up. But in the theoretical real world single day 1000 miles the overnight charging is not an advantage offered.

10 min at a max. Filling up at a gas station does not take a long time, contrary to what people who haven’t filled up a gas tank in a hot min would tell you lmao.

I think people are missing the point of the test. To see if an EV could do what people "normally" consider a "normal" road trip because it's about range anxiety. OF COURSE, if you own an EV, you're going to consider the charging but you're already bought into the whole EV concept. He's trying to convince ICE owners.

Surprised a company as far reaching and capable as Ford doesn't better execute to make sure their first EV customers have an experience worth recommending to friends. Surely some inexpensive, off the shelf IoT devices could report if stations are down. Heck, pay the minimum wage employees at local Ford dealers to drop in on the stations several times a day to update their status. It wouldn't cost much to provide more accurate data to Ford drivers and it would make for a much better experience.

The problem is the amount of power needed to charge these cars. If you had one station only for charging no gas but same layout. 10-20 charging stations. If ten cars showed up to charge all at once. Or if a few got there early. The first cars to plug in would get charged normally, once the rest plug in the amount of power output to the chargers would decrease and or fluctuate between cars. So not all would get and equal chwrge. The load could not manage equal power output to all. So some maybe full charge in 45-1:30 or whatever. The last person would be there for hours. Plus all EV chargers use energy created by fossil fuel which makes me laugh. But biggest problem will be energy storage. Plus fast charging and all this raising the amps and all that into the cars battery will degrade it much faster than a steady flow charge for an hour or whatever. I was just at a IEEE green tech conference. The other problem is we literally can’t make the energy/power needed to charge every vehicle in America if they all became electric tomorrow. Tbh I feel the same people now yelling at oil companies and fossil fuels will be yelled at in 40 years due to batteries and their contents not decomposing and filling pits with hazardous waste. Lotta battery acid will go into the ocean and soil. That 30 minutes is a good goal but long term is very harmful to the battery packs. Or the 200 miles in 15 minutes for elons new packs is good but long term it will shorten the life of the battery.
