Now not many purely electric, luxurious se, so theyre on the market right now. And this is the newest one, the audi q a eat drawn. But can it be the mercy to seek us as to be and the like . We will find out right now. Welcome to read the entry level audi q 80 tron is powered by a 250. 00 kilowatt mode. While the s q, a sport that version we tested, gets plenty of grunge from its 370 kilowatt mode in general, driving impression in the q a age on a is really smooth. And i mean, audi cannot afford to do mistakes in this car because they say is the flagship model. So you have to be smooth, but it also has to be quite sporty since that were driving the s version that also features a lot of power. And you will want to feel that when youre driving in curves, you want it to accelerate. You really do it and you want to have a very nice handling and the core features all of this the what i especially like is the fact that it is very silent on the interior. Of course, i can only compare with what i remember about the q s s u. V was not any more silent, neither was the land rovers range. All the while i do have to admit though, is that the 2 s s u, v and the Land Rover Range Rover felt a little more spacious right here and you feel comfortable that its not like you would myspace. But it could be a little more spacious. The, this body aspect of the ask you 8 is on deniva, especially if you put the pedal to the metal. It will make the dash from 0 to a 100 kilometers an hour in. Busy an off seconds, and that feels really good and it can go up to a top speed of 210 kilometers an hour, which is also quite good for a purely electric cost. The, the Exterior Design of the q 8, now blends much more harmoniously into the ality model family with a new honeycomb grill. And when it comes to charging ports, convenience is king. Right here, the side you will find the charging part. Hes simply press the bottom that full selling electrically, and then you can plug it in foss, charging no problem whatsoever, but for luxurious cause, you need even more. And thats why on this side, there is another charging for, again, opened it to electrically as well. But you have to say this one is not maple 5 charging, so its mainly for your wall books at home. But you can choose the side, and that is a luxurious feature, i think is pretty nice. Or of course what you also need for the maximum feeling of the luxury of these self leveling badges that will stop in our, on demand or no matter how you stop the car. The comparing the design of the cars, i have to say the roundish falls of the e q. S s u v. Were not exactly appealing to me and the land rover with its flat surfaces. Not exactly there, but this car is very nice. I like it. The only thing i would wish for is the black package, because that one is available for all versions and that would mean that what is silver right here. And also the grill will be in a black finish, which would look way more aggressive waste body of the quality inside the s q h cabin remains unchanged without ease, characteristic use of high quality materials. Of course, a lot of controls do work mainly via the touch screen. And the touch pad requires a bit more forced to use, but at least this prevents accidental invoice. The car also has a range of off market features youd expect, including leather upholstery and heated front and rear seats for us, a decent amount of food space. Sure you want to do a road trip in the audience also adjusted the version line up. So the q at each one is only available in 3 different versions. The advanced line, which i like the name suggest, is the entry level version, the s line and the one were driving here. The ask you a to so the sporty version. The thing i dont like at all of these digital mirror because you will look outside, then you will find that small things. You will look down, you will find the picture. And the picture also looks different than what youre used to in the regular mirror. But dont worry, the digital side humorous, i always optional. So even if you get to ask you. Busy you will always find the regular mirrors. Now lets take a look at what drives the motor of the queue, and lets talk about the battery for a 2nd. There are 2 different versions, 95 kilowatt hours, and that is the small one. And 100. 14 kilowatt hours, but all they did not simply put in bigger batteries. They also worked on cell chemistry and made the cell. Its 20 percent more dense, so they take less space for the same amount of energy the. Those arent the only changes though. Audi also worked on the aerodynamics and whats especially interesting is the on the body because down they put little plates along with all the measures and that helps direct the flow of air. That way they reduce the drag coefficient and that helps driving longer distances. The, with all the aspects of that and all the tweak with the new q a. Each on coming from its predecessor, they increase the range of the call by between 32 and 44 percent, which is a huge amount of the in addition to the sport back version. We tested the q 80 tron is also available as a classic s u v with a steeper sloping, were the we q 8. Each one is a very luxurious call in the interior. You can tell that everything is high quality when you drive it is fee is really smooth. Its a very nice ride. All in all the s q 80 try and looks better as in some ways more capable than the mercedes to s s, u, v, or Land Rover Range Rover. Although it loses out to them in terms of range and space. But when it comes to pricing, its likely to leave the competition far behind the even by french standards. Belyeu is a special vacation destination, and its now a laboratory of innovation for going carbon neutral. Incorporating the wind sun and the car industry, tourism and individual mobility. Here off the coast of brittany, an array of forward thinking individuals are experimenting with Sustainable Energy generation. But the transmission is not all smooth sailing. One to a matic visual change could be wind farms effecting the seascape made famous by impression is painter. Cloud monee, in 1886, the needles are iconic. And imagine having those turbines behind you in the sea level. Are we sustainable . I dont cause accidents like internal. What does that have to do with quote monique to hes long gone and wont be painting those pictures again, it is just correct and the value wont go down just because of a few turbine. So i dont think a 70 cent a negative to say about 3 or whatever. We have a magnet innocent, you keep a homepage, but our guess is wouldnt like it if there are a sudden the Wind Turbines in the way, once you put the islands for sustainable ventures into electron mobility actually began 20 years ago. Little wonder that french car makers i know pick the spot to set up a Pilot Project via its mobilized subsidiary. A smart energy cycle was installed in the vacation village, customize to the surroundings. Let me quote with this is a micro grids based on 4 pillars as far as the solar panels convert the sunlight into electricity. Yeah. The solar energy is conserved by 2nd plus batteries, discarded units taken from the cars that still have sufficient capacity for stationary storage. Off at they know here, so now a solar energy is most if its not used in real time, these batteries make it possible to store solar power to be fed into the grid for when its actually need it to the problem and do homework any, no human you all know the system also includes prototypes of e cars that can be charged up by directionally replacing with this as a rental. Zoe, with a modified charge or the suitcase they never seen. You dont have what you understand. Its enables stored Electrical Energy and it needs to be faded back into the grid, on demand under him, dont the whole value of his though, of course, on the move on from somebody. But theres also a sophisticated Computer Program involved. It controls the facilities various components in a way that ensures maximum efficiency when it comes to the Solar Energy Available for the requirements of the picture, risk vacation village. So you can go to something, you can set up a micro grid like this, anywhere, even with Major Industrial complexes, there are no limits. What were doing here on value can be replicated at various places around the city. If you do those, you know, doesnt get the micro grants are sounds, solution for an island covered in Cultural Heritage says theres up on the he probably points out. Some of the belly is best known landmarks. The subject of several books written by the local historian, music giving you the needle rocks of paul control formed by the sea in the 6th to exclude them and they spent on bill you. He painted around 40 pictures and on the 39. 00 to be precisely the place where they need new goals. So ill say no to the big lighthouse is our mountain, the volume. Its 70 meters tall. So which is enough to the see the turbines are 184200 meters tall . No, we dont want that. All sounds on all of that. But most islanders do accept a micro created like my nose, local business man, deal me as among those impressed with the benefits sound. So it sounds like its an interesting project also because it raises awareness of a question. We should all be asking ourselves, uh, where does my energy come from . Now, it does me is the spokesman of a movement whose adherents are convinced that reducing Energy Consumption is the most sustainable option out there. Most of the cars in his mental fleet color of course electric, but he sees far more scope for change. Which way we dont protect the planet by driving e, cause we need to restrict our consumption. But theres nothing, especially our Energy Consumption to so many some put in, we can say in the future, ill replace the fossil or Nuclear Energy ive used by consuming the equivalent in Sustainable Energy. See the dentist. When you say that doesnt work validates even though you through the now here we need to increase the proportion of renewables for while at the same time. Cutting consumption does not say that balance is through the now showing you what im doing is we have 2nd semester. Its an approach that the mayor of the islands Biggest Community lapel link agrees with thanks to him. The police are now also going electric. Most of the vehicles used by the local authorities at the replaced with the varieties that correspond to its a better fit for our image and the best. And that usually the time that doesnt have to be produced in utah, our efforts are focused on saving energy wherever we cant really think with anything else that the mayor previously had the islands, clinics, fleets of vehicles turn to electric to they insure at home care for the 5000. 00 residents across and 87 square kilometer area. But thats all old news for the director of the hospital. They dont mass that value has always been a laboratory for all kinds of innovations to the islands characteristics. Mean we have to be a step ahead on that. Also, were already making substantial use of drones for transferring blood supplies. For example, i see we see on to prove that that and we dont use environmentally harmful ship transportation on scale to, to purchase on the tourist sector now also feature sustainable options instead of taking the big energy guzzling diesel, ferries, visitors have the alternative of soft transportation on sale boats the level and finally the before we talk about bio gas, were focusing on an energy thats free and is available 70 or 80 percent of the time we finish putting you. We have to reduce our consumption, especially in transportation, was wondering this issue and we can do that simply by using sale power seat of own and see only what journalist sylvan villeneuve is also committed to the site to lower Energy Consumption. She only drives an e car when she has is heavy cargo to get from a to be for her saving. Energy is a way of life fit. The keyboard is shown to the its a cultural revolution. Consuming more learning to consume less with science, having a poor quality of life. Very warm. Yeah. So the concept that will be indispensable in the future. So do you mind disposable . There are also some highly imaginative ways of saving energy on beller the artist that this workshop creat looking self to is all fashioned from Raw Materials that the owner is no longer want it to like i collect all kinds of scrap and trash and use my imagination to turn what i find to do something new, come up at all. Unfortunately not to imagine. Now going on here one more here, like i do, might be to the environment by recycling waste. Normally its extremely costly on 1000000000 contain, which will be the waste is put in containers taken by boat to the mainland and disposed of milk. And we create a different cycle by which the islands trash is recycled. And we appreciate the opportunity to hold into a way you can use us. And well see the island has a range of different initiatives fighting for sustainability in their own way. What they all agree on is the most harmful factor for the island best. And that it was sold to me to having limited resources means we have to be particularly careful with tourism when it comes to lowering consumption up to is theres far too much energy being used during the summer to suppress. Im moving for the so me i see on the to continue to listen to a need to assess and its a hill here in the summer, all the cars and all the people coming to the island and stuff it hold the cheapest. Im worried about the, the farmers and fishermen used to be the backbone is the economy. He pays only the show how the plan, everything was turned on its head to the bottom of the vehicle and now tourism is dictating things to see what thats wrong. And then also the to everythings gotten too expensive. Lets go to the appreciate the we like assume that the mass as of tourist to arrive and the peak vacation period are huge strain and our resources to wait on the 20. This is also were thinking of extending the seasons so that the stream of tourist isnt concentrated on july and august. And this is where this i know project could prove invaluable. The resulting dramatic drop in energy cost means that loss beans can now afford to feed her bungalows after the summer. Pulmonology this is on said were going to extend our receives and when they say to walk through this year, well be closing on september 18th, next year. Well try to stay open a lot longer and the pre tax desk who sits any say to, you know, since you all set with the system now up and running, weve seen our energy bill cut in half the year of last season. All just in another sign of progress, you can already tour the islands many sites of cultural interest with the help of the solar power sourced from the microgrids. Here where history and old traditions meet modern developments, there are Creative Ideas galore for ensuring a sustainable future. The a sound, but it is a legendary legacy of clothing on a and the needle rocks of pour control. And of course that history is used for tourist type anything. But the Main Attraction of value is an island youll be coming and exciting Pilot Projects. Going to, weve got it all here. So when the sun sorta employer, well i bought, i bought 12, it could become a lovely laboratory. Excuse me, kind of experimental avant garde for Energy Generation on 1000000000 pull. Youve shown Danielle Jane austin, im sure youre on the shoals as it hands towards a new age of energy use the aptly named belly, little, or beautiful island. Both to remarkably diverse approach, which with visionary ideas and not short on controversy. But where would we be energy wise, if we didnt have the occasional bit of friction, of the sustainable variety. Of course the, if you want more red, check out our youtube channel.

Vintage classics and future tech are just some of the exciting content waiting for subscribed to us at youtube slash dw risk. And youll always be up to speed the. Youre right in a d i y health claim racer from bosnia herzegovina. Well, and jump in with veteran and his out to a customized vw jetta. Its like a child to me. A Family Member veteran is in the item that will racing driver with a preference 1st, hilly terrain. Time to get an up close and personal list. Got his jetta. Are you ready . The the just think lee, bump you right for our interested report sir. Is the result of some of meticulous work. We visit better and at his workshop in twos, let in northeastern voice mail. The the car mechanic spent 3 years tinkering away on his pride and joy. Its like a child to make a Family Member drop. The veteran has plenty of other cars to work on, but his true passion on calling is for dw based racing cars. His jetta is above me and hell get real kits with all manner of extra features. It comes with 4 injectors for the exhaust is 4 into one and these are racing camshaft the cartridge. Okay, so the also on board is a fire extinguishing system safety 1st be specially and motor sports if theres a fire, it activates and puts out the flames. Well, there are also 4 more nozzles inside the car, alongside the electrical system. And thats the safety system. Thats veterans. Love of best cars began when he was just allowed. His father was a successful racing driver. And what was then . You just love you, but his undying love for vw came a bite because of a different model. So when he, when ive loved the gulf, mark one since i was a kid, friend of mine had one gti d. Done the so thats when the loved again, let me. So i like to design you and us, and we lose you. I decided that when i grew up, i buy myself a gulf mark one and make my own racing car and they come in to this day. Its remains the same as rush through raptor style and this jetta has great visibility. The building kind of plus it has the features that make it easy to turn into a race car like the veteran bought his prize jetta in sarajevo and hasnt looked back since his only regret is for lack of development in recent years. But i mean, its not that big of seen, but we do have the occasional meet right to you. And i talked to gina. So it was, you know, the situation with sponsors isnt great. Probably a minute. The problem is it increasing interest in racing . Its popularity is limited to the comes on our people prefer watching soccer or basketball, whatnot associated with our french football cushion washed by the need for speed test drive type, which means taking veterans jetta back out onto the track on an old air field. The more upfront the driving conditions as ever as the sun goes down the the most racist we do, the start isnt that important . That you not, as its mostly appeal, it 1st escaped. Comanche said that you know, that you sort of start as really good, intense itd be a bit, you know, week or 2 to be put on the straits. You make up the time you lost at the start lobby. Oh yeah. So its not that crucial really. So were going to live in a very specific as for the jetta performance, the the car is what it is. The track is terrible. The surfaces no good. But weve been able to do a few labs to show you the car and that magic feeling ultimately the object of defies the terrain to deliver the magic. And veteran is proud of his sip top little racer. Ill try to get a gray car produced out of love and thats what matters. So you know, these i chose the jet is because we couldnt find a better basis than the gulf mark one. See . I looked at just that were glad to have our super jetta, which weve really rolling to love just to stay true for automotive love stories and more on the next episode of the the waters scarcity is also becoming a problem in germany. New sources are needed to secure a water supply we need to find them for the communities and businesses out depending on engineers and other experience. The quest for new sources the its 2016. Thats a good bunch of the queen customer wants to see if jem and 8 was for me. The last few years have been quite a ride, getting fairly in touch with them. And ive already done the homework when it comes to databases. And of course, i always look right in the eyes for kids, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of 900. 00 on the referred not to be in the news, the reports and never comes.
