Hello Robert. I have driven diesels and petrol cars all my life as i commute a fair bit. Your personality made me interested in your YT channel and your episode on the Kia Optima Hybrid made me order one, no joke. Trading in my Q5 diesel in a week or two. Fully Charged: changing one person at a time :-)
This is wonderful!
I'm genuinely looking at changing my diesel c-class for an ioniq when my finance agreement ends.
@Simon this seems to be a good decision to me, especially since you move away from a fridge shaped tank to something more reasonably designed as a street car. I am aiming for a small CNG vehicle next since I want to avoid the mess involved with building and recycling batteries and simply because it is cheaper and at the european energy mix almost clean as an ev.
until you realise that a lot of the smog in Delhi etc. comes from (millions?) of small vehicles (tuk tuks) running on CNG... Combusted CNG produces lots of NOx.
Well, if you have poor mixture control, yes. It responds well to the same emissions controls that work well and cheaply on gasoline engines, though. (Still, it's not as good as not running an engine at all.)
that monitoring of the micro grid looks amazing , this is a great example for the future of energy supply.
The cherry on top of a fantastic morning; thanks Bobby!
As always, the amazing production quality of this show makes it even more worthwhile than it already was due to its relevant and interesting content. Keep up the great work!
Robert,
This is so amazing!!! Thank you so much for your had work and insight.
most impressive part of all this was the visual demonstration at the end
yes, that is a very fancy software simulation with particle flow animation and interactive drop a battery into the mix and the energy flow changes. Well done software team.
It's amazing what can be done if there is the will and the brains. The centre of Berlin would not immediately spring to mind as being able to be a provider of green energy. I look forward to your further episodes on EUREF
the simulation was one of the coolest things I have ever seen!
I am studying Electrical power engineering in RWTH Aachen, Germany. If you people ever plan to pay a visit there, please do let me know. I would really like to meet you guys :D
These episodes are getting better and better. Also very frequently new episodes! :) Keep 'm comping. Great work!
Just brilliant. It's so good to see these forward thinking people designing, installing and using such systems. I'm so excited for the day that my house and car can be self-sufficient. Thanks Robert and Fully Charged for continuing to bring us these episodes, they're so good. :o)
Nice cinematography.
The EUFER example table should be available online for anyone to look at and play with!
that tabletop simulation is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!!
mind = blown
So simple and clever, cool stuff. I watched that documentary of Robert's journey with renewables in his hometown on the iplayer, That's really great, when it showed that big tank thing at the start, it reminded me of that.
Thanks for another fine video Goalposthead!! Much appreciated.
Brilliant let's have this in uk and everywhere now now now I want it now 😀
A great informative episode as usual Robert.
I love that you can see everything on the computer
Another great episode. I like to see these sorts of experimental energy districts - a lot can be learned from them running a real grid instead of a computer simulation.
Wonderful services! Thanks for info!
Who ever programmed this demonstration is a genius! It is amazing! :-)
Exciting.
// Well produced, content and videography!
I didnt even know that this existed in my country. Thanks to you Robert!
Grüße aus Deutschland :)
That interactive table in the Schnieder Electric office is absolutely amazing. It makes it so clear how these microgrids can hang together to better support each other. Now if only we had a government who "got it" and invested in these things /politicsrantover
Wow so cool thank you for showing us...
Nice setup they have there, thanks for the show :-)
wow that table energy simulation UI is amazing.
I just started watching your Channel today n watched lots of ur videos today only
N i LOVED it
I don't usually comment....its because u r doing great n u r awesome
PLZ KEEP ON MAKING MORE VIDEOS
Thank you, really happy to hear that. Very glad you're enjoying them. There's loads more to come so keep watching, and maybe subscribe. Thanks
subscribing was the first thing i did rite aft i watched ur "Tesla Model 3 | Fully Charged" (my 1st from channel) video..
n
at 0:38 ur expression were hilarious liked it
That was very interesting to watch, and pretty inspiring too. Do people live in that neighbourhood or is it all workplaces ? It looked like a pretty attractive place to stroll around. Can't wait for part II of this episode. Keep it coming Robert. You've convinced me too. Next car for me will be an EV for sure - looking at Hyundai Ioniq, Nissan Leaf and Kia Niro in my price range. Can't wait to go all electric.
as you are in germany right now will you look at the e.Go life?
a nice small electric car for 15.000€
It is amazing the technology that allows it. Micro smart grid seem to be the way of the future, avoiding transmission losses across the grid
LOVE THAT TABLE
Hi Robert. Great series. interesting seeing this episode on EUREF just after seeing your tv program on Temple Guiting. Looks like it needs to be a new build or regeneration location without being AONB, Listed, legacy infrastructure, etc etc. How about approaching Cherwell District Council to persuade them to create a EUREF style micro smart grid system at their new Graven Hill (Bicester) development of 1900 self build homes. plus school, community facilities, shops and industrial area all on an ex MOD base. all new infrastructure going in now so hopefully it will be built to facilitate new and future technologies starting with micro generation and storage locally, the hill is windy enough for a BIG turbine or two... locals wont like it though. As its Council owned through their own development company (Graven Hill Development company) NOT a Commercial developer it would possibly be one of the easiest locations to achieve this if its possible anywhere in the UK. It would make a great program or series. After watching your show Im Now looking at electric vehicle for my next car, I hope there is a VW EPolo out later in the year when the model is refreshed.
Excellent thanks.
Hi Robert another great production have you heard of The plug 'n drive vehicle discovery center, in Ontario Canada? This is the place where they have the highest EV incentives in the world, and they have made a place where potential new EV owners can come with out the hassle of a dealership, no strings attached. I would love a video on them..:-)
I jst love fully charge because there Hv never bin a boring episode
Great to see this happening, I sincerely wish Australia would pick up their game on renewables, but we need the coal eating dinosaurs to leave parliament first I think...
Mr Grizzly you need the battery technology to Improve vastly in capacity and lower costs to gain vast introduction. The biggest problem right now is high costs of storage. Once it economically make sense it will have mass roll out and cheap coal uses reduces.
Dan Iomegan Yes. It seems money often trumps common sense. Let's rally behind the latter.
Dan Iomegan ya know... Australia can always mine coal and move to renewables at the same time
Are you going to Aachen for the e.go life and the Streetscooter? Would be amazing. :)
nice to see the old companies investing in new energy solutions
a lovely video
I'm eagerly waiting for your review on the new BMW 530e iPerformance
Thanks Robert. Now, how about setting up the same kind of things in the U.K? What help is available from government or other sources? What obstacles are there to stop similar systems from being introduced around the planet?
I saw on one of your programs. You did a feature about the world's fastest electric car. In it the car was charged just by parking on a charging plate. Is there any more tech on this as it sounds like a brilliant idea.
Quick question, I've not really understood the concept of car to home, as in using the car as a mobile battery. I get the idea of an emergency backup in a power cut or natural disaster but how does it help in day to day use? My worry would be parking my car up with 70% soc and coming back to it expecting a full charge and only having 30% left 🤔 How's it actually work?
Sadly our orange president has sold out to big oil. We EV driving / alternative energy loving Americans are trying to keep the sustainable energy movement moving forward regardless of recent policy shifts by our government.
MAGA.
don't worry the states don't need a federal mandate to continue cleaning up the air.. Mr Orange isn't as powerful as all that.
Swamp? You mean like Gary Cohn, Rex Tillerson, Steven Mnuchin, Andrew Liveris, Steve Bannon etc?
He didn't sell out, he's just an idiot
Take an econ class then you learn that Free market works only when common good is protected and priced. In fact Only role of government in economy should be to determine these cost and protect common goods. fossil fuel cost to environment is not paid. In fact fossil fuels are heavily subsidized. If government is not doing its job (which is the case here) then there is no free market and therefor your argument of market making the best choices is invalid. I really hope we had a real free market, but we dont.
I like these stories when you have a whole system of living that have the whole area or city living mostly with renewable energy.
On small correction (sort of). The electric bus at Südkreuz station that he mentioned is not the one shown in this video. Actually there are multiple full size electrical busses operated as a normal bus line by our local transport company.
The bus shown in the video is a prototype of an autonomous mini bus from a Canadian company operated by our national railway company. it's only going around the EUREF campus but they are planning to extend the service to Südkreuz station in the future. But first they need to get it approved for public roads. It's a great experience but yet needs a lot more development before it could get really useful. I hope there's coming a video about it to (of course it's electric).
One last thought about the campus. It's nice to see what the future could be like, but the claim that they reached the 2050 pollution target today seams a bit funny when you walk around there and see all those dirty fossile fuel cars parked there. The campus may have reached the targets, but the people working there don't.
trust the germans to do it better than the rest of us.. ive got to say the visualisation of how energy is used and will be used is by far the best ive seen.. if only there could be a 90 second video of it, the masses would understand energy solutions far better......
So this is pretty much futurist utopia. This should be required for new developments everywhere.
I live in Berlin!!!!! Do you do meet ups?
Clickbait Turk Armenian Genocide Denier nah not really my thing. But there are plenty of good bars in Kreuzberg!
Robert,
please ask production to turn the background
music down because the voices( yours and who ever you are talking to )
are competing with the music to be heard(and that includes any reverberation from your surroundings).
I'm deaf and its hard enough to hear what is said( and please don't suggest captions because they are crap)
the videos are wonderful and inspiring as ever( apart from the sound issue)
i have a colleague that works for schneider.... he recently had to update his company vehicle.... he could spend up to 35 thousand pounds... !!.. interestingly enough though, not one EV/hybrid on the vehicle list they supply or incentive to move from Diesel which he was interested in doing.... seems these large companies are very quick at advertising what they CAN do..... but there missing a great advertising slogan when nearly all of their sales team and engineers turn up in 'Dirty Diesels' here in the UK.... especially when there business model is to promote/sell energy saving products... !
I was kinda distracted by the cool tabletop touchscreen demo.
7:20 Microsoft Surface table?!
Great episode, awesome idea! One thing though, mr Robert- let the guy speak. The fact that he speaks a bit slower than you doesn't mean you have to finish sentences for him ;)
The future looks bright, in some places at least (here someone from Spain 😓)
Lovely policy on solar we have.
Those controllers are the future. Wow.
Is this another repeat?
No, this has never been released before, even accidentally by me. All the episodes about the EUREF are newly minted.
fullychargedshow thanks Robert, love your channel. I genuinely look forward to your latest episodes.
id be in heaven working there
A good place for when the zombie apocalypse hits
2:54 "If people are chain smoking"
I think they are saying "change small things"
I could be too tired.
A bit of both, thanks.
Hello
bye
Why do I always get Hyundai pollution car Ads before a Fully Charged Video?
Is that the one where they're telling us about the tuning they're doing, to get their gasguzzler to "meet the needs of the future consumer", at which point I feel compelled to shout at the telly, "the future needs will be EVs, you 'tards!"?
I get either trading apps or food delivery apps for some reason. And I get that money saving app (the one that rounds up your transactions and puts that to savings) in front of Trasport Evolved videos.
furriephillips Yes that one :D
I keep getting Ford truck Ads.
I get i3 adds on Facebook. And hydrogen add, for some reason.
Go Germany, go! Fully charge yourselves yo! :-D
why do trump and garage berate wind power
AMMMM too early ;)
HELL YES!
Quick, someone bring Trump in and let him play with the neat shapes at the micro smart grid demo smart surface stand, maybe he'll change his stance on renewable energy!
This is all a seems a bit ott. Why is this better than ensuring the national grid takes this approach?
It's a concept. The idea is you want to move the energy as few as possible and use it locally as much as possible. Think a bit bigger and each town can be its own micro-grid. In reality each house will become its own micro-grid inside the town micro-grid inside the country wide grid. It reduces the investments (and thus cost) of the main grid, increases efficiency and allows better use of renewables.
Each house will have its own storage, generate its own power and charge its own car(s) while also shifting demand (heating/cooling, washing etc.). At the same time it will interact with the town grid.
Thing is there is a lot of technology to be developed to do this intelligently. For example it makes a lot of sense for the town grid to have some knowledge of the stored power inside each sub micro-grid and an idea of future demand so it can manage its own resources predictably and more efficiently. Same goes for the main grid.
The future doesn't spring up like a mushroom, we need to nurture and grow it.
My house already does most of this in that it only draws from the grid if there isn't enough solar and sends energy to the grid after putting surplus energy into a heat store. I plan on adding an EV and battery in the future which will also be managed within my micro-grid/house.
However, I don't want someone else to dictate when I wash my clothes or charge my car. A "smart" grid where micro/grids can import/export energy is a good idea but it needs to operate as a marketplace rather than under central command.
The technology is already available, the issue is applying it at scale and economically. In this country the problem is bureaucracy.
It just seems like micro grids like this need a whole section on policy ideas on a national scale that would enable a future like this. I have a PV and an EV but it is not an intelligent marriage. I know there is a company that has built an intelligent adapter now (the same lot that built immersun) that will divert excess of to the car. It's good as a small example but not good at scaling up.
Well most of the problems you see now is that everybody is dragging their feet to switch to implement actual power prices at the consumer level. Once that is there the market should do its job. So then the choice will be yours to run your washing machine when you want. It'll just be more expensive to do so if power is pricey at the point.
I think that's the whole point; establishing the technology to be able to support this infrastructure. Developing standards for the industry etc. No better way to do that than actually implement every facet of what it should be (PV, wind, biomass, EVs, heating, cooling etc.)
seeing how progressive theses eu countries are it really makes me feel like I live in a third world country in America
Thought this was great, more........???
10:03 Cringe . . . Cringe . . . CRINGE!
Stellar video as always.
