The electric i. Am about to read the audio and mobility show. Is it still a mobility revolution when it doesnt look like one rev checks out who shows itto wait in 2800. 00 the normal enough to get buyers to go electric the talking about its electric cars in general. The more cars i drive the more i get used to that im still not convinced that this is the future but is the future already here are british troops on the race track changing electric street cars rev reportedly adorning takes up b. M. W. I 3 out to 10 states for me lately pedigree. In the 1st 30 minutes is a solo is more than the force employing sure it is germany facing a revolution on the autobahn nobody is literally only comes with one. Thank you. But would it be safer and better to have speed limits on the autobahn find out in the latest edition of. On todays episode were testing. 208. 1008 both. Say lets go. We took the smaller model for a spin 1st with a new key to await the shows try to stay away from the popular reno zoe and it seems to be working. Demand has been stronger than expected. The name already suggests eat 208 its an electric car the electric motor has a power output of 100 watts 126 horsepower and 216. Now 3 different driving. And sport and if you put in more 2 can make. An 8 point one seconds which is pretty neat. As with most electric cars the. Top speed is electronically capped at 150 Kilometers Per Hour order to help preserve the cars. I the 50 kilo what battery will give you 340 kilometers a frame. Which is pretty ok considering that the car is. There will usually be driven in cities or on cities so thats ok. Talking about the battery give you 160000 kilometers or 80. And if this is something wrong with it during that time they will replace it. I. Looking at the exterior its hard to tell that this is the electric version of the 2 away seeing that it differs only slightly from its Combustion Engine sibling. Moving inside theres a 3 d. Virtual cockpit as well as the latest in infotainment systems. The battery self the way. The car the trunk is just the same as the regular 28 with gasoline and diesel engines 265 to 960 meters were just pretty nice. So of course every once in a while youll have to charge your car. If you do this at home with a regular socket it will take more than 24 hours. If youre lucky and you have. It will take you around 5 hours which is ok. And then theyll be good in the morning and if youre really lucky and you have a job either at home all close to your working ok then i will fill up the car from 0 to 80 percent in just. The minutes. The driving experience and the date is pretty pleasant. Its pretty compact so its fun driving into curves rather fast and with good talk being direct. You can also speed out of cross pretty fast. Features 2 different driving modes. Or b. And b. If you remove your foot from the gas. Recuperate and almost brake braking the regular car only at the end you will have to put your foot on that one because the car will not stop completely and it will just go 7 kilometers an hour which is like walking speed. So that was the wait. Lets take a look at its s. U. V. Counterpart the peugeot the 2008. 2008 is based on the same plan its 10 centimeters higher than the 2 of. The interiors of the 2 models are more or less the same. If you open up the trunk of the e. 2008 youll find 434 to 1467 leaders which is way more than that he has to offer but with both of these you will always find that back inside and you will need that because inside the charging cable which will provide you with current. And therefore you will always have this in your trunk. Thanks. To 208. 00 and they also have the same drive train which leaves you with almost the same driving impressions you see a little higher end. And you have a little more comfort id say. Just like the 2 await the 2008 feet your is the latest Driver System systems to help keep you safe such as lane Departure Warning active brake assist traffic signs recognition. Cruise control with stop option. Quite a few now and ive always liked their interior especially the steering gear because its so small compared to gearing wheels and all the cars. Offers an optional Premium Sound system with 10 speakers and with these electric models as quiet as they are you can sit back and really enjoy the music. So my final verdict both pretty neat. If i had to choose one. Simply because im not that much into s. U. V. S talking about electric cars in general. The more i drive the more i get used to that im still not convinced this is the future especially not the standalone future its still so much work to be done this specially if you look at the range of the car and charging times in the future. Numbers then this could be a pretty good alternative. Nuku show each will raise as a starting price of just under 30000. 00 euros but in germany higher incentives for electric vehicles knock off around 9000. 00 for a final price of just under 21000. 00 euros. Moving up to the larger each 2008 s. U. V. Will set you back around 4500. 00 euros more. If you want more random check out are you.

Going to feel. Like. Its the 1st time that im driving an electric car and theyre supposed to be very boring but sustainable but i would like to find out how much fun can they believe to be completely. Completely 1st of all i have to admit i really like the color of the car because it fits my jacket. Secondly its kind of small which i like and then if you check the tires still really small and thin i wonder how the grip is on the street. Theres only one way to find out by taking it to the track. But. The group of the tires is not bad it feels really good. You know its actually fun to drive through the like of. That shake the exhilaration. Group. In the 1st 30 meters exhilarates more than the porsche im pretty sure you know this car is something for a city something you know luxury city car i could not imagine being this on the formula you truck or Something Like that well actually the i 3 is the standard safety car and also i mean what its no match for the racing cars though which topped out at 240 kilometers power. Against mark or its head out motors ford and b. M. W. Since disappointment over 3 years ago hes been trying to make the comic this electric power train even more powerful on and off the track. You know whats your. People im not. Just. To be able man these are. Extreme. Crimes to come up in the best insight. Because it just. Look like im going to. Be by on speed im going to put in your life would be. Im too pretty for me and with hope on both of us we. To the. Great stake your. Even after successful race weekend theres no time out for against my b. M. W. Headquarters in munich you need Something Else head of electric power Train Research and development.

Engineering starting with the columns that transmit the current that generates Magnetic Fields which are converted into mechanical energy the brain of an electric power train inverter supplies electricity on demand but their frequency and voltage continuously adapted to driving situation a better inverter means more power from the energy stored in the battery. This in minutes almost going in got the idea that this is appropriate. Because on the new pick things you know home i like to. Use is one pickle feeling as ive been from gaskin lived for. This i mean a kid with them for 2 can logon to me to make them what he thought that one of. Them was so soft is going to fall in the. In the. What if you could be property of could all go through. In that case lets go green and try out some recuperation. Its really good to get the guests in this car because it speeds up at 1st but the recuperation i dont like at all i think gives me the feeling that im just breaking down immediately and for me this is. Something that im enjoying to b. M. W.

And pass this little it had to just have its charms. Its a fun tool to have one day for a few hours but i could not imagine driving it ever on every basis because you know just to idea but i have to charge it somewhere like really freaks me on here i dont know if it kind of lost and i wonder if i still get home im kind of worried about it though like i was driving this car for like 3 hours now and i still only have 35 percent of my energy bedroom left. And thats the spine dozens of b. M. W. Experts investing a huge technical effort into probably over the years they have mission to enhance the efficiency of electric motors. This was a view of you on their. Highs today. And about the. End effect. The good of your business. Well you can move them high so. Theres a. Ration doesnt really do it for me to be honest i was driving today like from what you contender so no surprise that i have to take a pit stop after just 200 kilometers. No im really lucky today i found this charging station could take me quite a while blood so i mean charging at least. It takes around 15 minutes at the fast charging station to get 80 percent thats a serious slowdown for me with my hectic daily routine business when you current. Determined to close its rhythms on me but i find myself enjoying just chilled out and sustainable electric more and more. I want out of the way. There are a lot of pomp and man germany is literally the only developed country where cars like this can go as high as they can. On the building them in the u. K. When accomplished over there anyway thats what were going to find out Something Like germany and what i like and im so offsets with spain. As a german you grow up knowing that it is better for racing for cars with my younger brother so might that basically forcing everyone off the street who is not doing 200 kilometers an hour. And the german car industry makes you believe that driving as fast as you can is the way to go. And weve got the Perfect Growth rate to do it all of the love and so even ill go by. The 1st real job on was opened in 1932 between born and cologne it had a speed limit of 120 Kilometers Per Hour. That the nazis took poa and claimed they had built the 1st one and. They insisted on calling it. The nazis also got rid of all the speed limits the only time they came back was what separates a pretty its a 70 quarter in the old prices and it was at that 100 kilometers an hour and the government even wanted to keep it the federal slaves. Into song. I just 100 to get. Home watch a person drive this car if theres 100 kilometers limitations everywhere. The sad reality is you cant go flat out everywhere on the german altar well were supposed to driving very fast and were stuck in a traffic jam and thats also reality off the glorious. Yes we do have traffic jams and construction sites as well in germany even worse about a 3rd of the german autobahn has speed limits and its recommended that you drive 130 kilometers on the other parts recommended you cant get fined if you drive faster but why 130. Because the 970 alone more than 20000 people died on germanys roads which got the conversation going about speed limits. And 977 a large scale comparative study concluded a speed limit reduces creches by 9 to 11 percent and deaths by 20 to 23 percent. A specific speed limit was a no fly with the german public and the hugely influential Automobile Club idiocy even campaigned against it so we ended up with a recommended speed limit of 130. 00 to find out how bad high speed crashes really are im taking an accident researcher for spending my ridiculously or. The power jack it. Could pop on has been reviewing Car Accidents for over 15 years for german insurers the people that pay for all those pressures because when they have to speed right now you would automatically lose your driving license hes joking of course. But for someone who researches accidents for a living well. You are yeah thats more like it you are. Right. He laughed speed hes german after all but lets get serious again what does crashing higher speeds actually mean. Prominent in the formula for Kinetic Energy velocity has a quadratic effect that means that an increase of just 10 k. M. s h. Creates proportionally a much higher amount of energy. So even driving just a little bit faster greatly increases the risk of life changing injuries or worse studies estimate that every extra kilometer per hour pushes the number of crashes up by 4 percent but it is also true that there are other countries that have a speed limit in place and people die from on the planet just look at the Czech Republic the United States and italy for example but the u. K. And denmark also have speed limits and fewer deaths. The problem is that these statistics are fairly comparable because of so many variables. Types of vehicles and visibility. One thing is for sure germanys kind of street does not want to general speed limit it pushes the sales pitch also been tested like a drug to all you people outside germany who want to drive mind lonely fast cars and still feel safe. Feel safe until you dont. The weakling can drive a 250 came age i think he means me even for good drivers things can go sideways very fast z. Clear things change must come. And so i think we need a speed limit that most people would accept and i think that would be 150 kilometers an hour that were still hours to get from a to b. As fast as possible most people dont go faster than that anyway on the growing concern for the environment and the shift to electric might get germany to a speed limit a little bit faster maybe even quicker than the us changes its gotten laws i mean electric is cool and everything but you cant go flat out for long without nuking the battery. Just a. Little im such a fan of me i mean the acceleration. To listen to that doesnt say. But driving at speeds are unfit for the situation is a major reason why people die on the job to be honest driving force one to kilometers an hour in a Straight Line gets really boring after some time so if you want to have the time of your life and go fast do it on the racetrack like my colleague ronnie did over here all it.
