The Ford e-Transit Has Serious Competition - Farizon SuperVAN (part 1)

The first part of the Farizon SuperVAN review, the electric van you need in your life.
********
Electric vans are steadily becoming more prominent in our cities but those on offer now aren't dedicated EV vans, they're nearly all just standard vans with batteries shoved inside. The Farizon SuperVAN is about to change all that. Built on a dedicated skateboard chassis, that can also be a range extender EV too if needed, the SuperVAN takes advantage of all the benefits of EV architecture to be basically anything you want it to be. Join us as we take a closer look at the EV van that is going to take Europe by storm in 2024. In part one, we take a look at the static model.

So awesome. Finally, someone sees the light. Would like to see a van that can be lived in. So no need to for a house. Definitely lots of solar panels on the roof and probably even on the sides and even the hood. Everything runs on solar power. That is the future, but would like it today.

@InsideChinaAuto 8 ай бұрын

Agreed. Would be cool to have solar panels that fold down the side and can be held up when it's parked to capture the sun. #vanlife just got more fun

@johnsexton3841 8 ай бұрын

@@InsideChinaAuto With panels becoming more and more flexible, I think the next step would be to have the panel integrated into the awning. As for making a real difference in the range, not something I think will have a large effect

@AutomaticVII 8 ай бұрын

I think electric architecture is a good fit for camper vans. Electric drive will make them feel less sluggish and being able to call on the large drive battery might mean a better suite of appliances compared to normal where you might be constrained to smaller leisure batteries or lower wattage systems.

@InsideChinaAuto 8 ай бұрын

Exactly. A really good fit for this purpose, especially with solar maximised.

@p1mento 8 ай бұрын

here is where the problem lies.... you run out of battery in the middle of nowhere, what do you need to get rescued??? a diesel generator to charge the battteries unless your car in going to be towed...,yes i know you have solar panels but if you re stuck in a forrest where there is no sunlight, what if there is a blizzard for a week... you run out of gas... take 2 jerrican and you're have 10litres of fuel! when was the last time you saw a campervan with batteries on the rack? there are two cars... one of them run out of gas.... you take a hose and put fuel from the car the has more gas to the car that have no gas... two cars run out of battery.. how are you going to charge the car that have no battery??? EV's are great for amazon vans! @@InsideChinaAuto

@p1mento People will always use a vehicle for the conditions they can use it in. If they need solar, they won't park in trees. If they're going to run out of energy, they won't let it get so low. If it snows, they'll walk somewhere and maybe should have planned better. Diesel also runs out when it runs out.

Commercial vehicles are more ripe for disruption than cars. Some of the switchgear in a Transit is at least 40 years old. Vans in Europe and Pickups in the US have been cash cows and always had cheap old underpinnings. The Chinese will disrupt yet more markets and the competition, other than Tesla, are doing next to nothing to compete.

I realise car manufacturers don't want to scare people, but I have been disappointed that the proper design revolution that EV's ought to be offering hasn't really materialised. Where are the Andre Citroëns or Alec Issigonises of the new technology? This, at least is a sign that some people are beginning to think outside the box van.

@InsideChinaAuto 8 ай бұрын

You're not wrong. I remember a Cadillac concept around the time of the Cien, maybe 2002, that showcased what a skateboard chassis would enable, such as a view right to the front of the vehicle. Not seen anything do much like that yet, though the Canoo vans have got some of that.

If you are going to charge your EV inside your garage, then install a smoke alarm over your car that is interconnected to the other smoke alarms in your house. That way, when the battery goes into thermal runaway whilst charging - and don't delude yourself that "that will never happen to me" - at least you will be woken up so you dont burn to death in your sleep. And despite what Musk says, it happens to LFP batteries, too.

Your braking and accelerator has been by-wire for decades already, you have no issues with that? Why should steer-by-wire be a problem?

@currentfaves65 3 ай бұрын

@@swecreations Toyota alone has recalled 2.3 million vehicles for by-wire accelerator problems that resulted in some fatalities. Not sure why those people could not just pop the transmission out of gear. But at least there is a way out. There is no way out if drive by wire steering fails. There are no drive by wire braking systems in the U.S. except on some high end electric cars. If you know of any, please tell me what they are. Unfortunately, many new cars are using by wire parking brakes. See Scotty Kilmers comments on that one. So my problem with by wire systems is my perception of a higher rate of failure. We have cars in the U.S. that are 100 years old and still have the original mechanical steering with zero failures. So, what is the advantage of drive by wire steering? Why would I leave proven technology ?
