  • We take a road trip to compare some of the leading family crossover electric vehicles. These are some of the best and most popular EVs
    Kia EV6 Dual Motor with heat pump
    Hyundai Ioniq 5
    Ford Mustang Mach E long range
    Volkswagen ID.4 77kwh rwd Launch Edition
    Tesla Model 3 dual motor long range (in substitute for Model Y)
    First how do they compare for energy usage on the same journey at the same speed on the same day. How much battery do each use. We start them all with 90%
    Then which can recharge the fastest to do the return journey.
    Then which can recharge what it’s used and get to 90% the quickest…
    Well you’re about to find out…
    Note that the Ford has now improved charging above 80% with the latest software update.
    Thanks for watching!

    Ioniq 5 and EV6 winter charging lifehack: don't run the cabin heat until the charging speed picks up, at which point you SHOULD run the cabin heat until charging is complete. This stops the heat pump from scavenging battery heat from a too-cold pack. But once it DOES start charging quickly, DO turn on the cabin heat as that will start the heat-scavenging from the battery and help stop it from over-heating.
    Bjorn Nyland suggests that a more permanent fix would be a software update from Hyundai/Kia that would instruct the car run the PTC heater for the cabin when fast-charging when the pack is cool, and then switching to the heat pump when all the modules in the pack hit 25 degrees or higher.
    Conversely, in hot weather don't run the A/C in the cabin when fast-charging so that the cooling system is fully available to the battery pack to keep it cool and stop it from overheating. Unless you're desperate for a cool cabin and willing to live with slower charging in exchange, of course.
    Generally speaking in the winter you'll arrive at the charging station with a warm cabin, and in the summer you'll arrive at the chargepoint with a cool cabin, so living without HVAC briefly is probably not a hardship in most circumstances.

    Cheers from the States. Tests like these are SO helpful. I've decided on an ID4 and these videos do a lot to confirm that it's a solid choice for me. I don't road trip much and normally only travel around 50mi per week so comfort, boot size, and purchase price weigh more heavily for me.

But I found if you play with tire pressure you can “tune” it. Tesla recommends 42 PSI COLD or about 2.9 bars. That’s on the HIGH side for passenger vehicles, so I will lower them to 38 PSI/2.7 bar for city use. On long road trips where I want MAX efficiency I pump them up to 44 PSI/3.0 bar. I wish could post a photo of my B Trip Card that has tracked my info since new my LIFETIME data is 12,402 miles, 3,186 kWH at 257 Wh/mi or 19,960 km, 3,186 kWH at 160 Wh/mi.

    another point form what I notice form Bjorn Nyland's channel, both the E-GMP cars Kia and Hyundai scavenge heat from the battery, they do not warm up while driving with climate control on (quite the opposite), Tesla's newer heat pump Model 3 suffers the same fate but has the advantage to pre-warm batteries for programmed charger most efficient charging speed. I hope Kia / Hyundia do the same on the next software upgrade and not scavenge so much heat from the battery.

    A heat pump is just a refrigerator - its a compressor device that moves heat from a cold place to a warmer place. The warmer place is the cabin, the colder place is the outside and you consume a bit of electricity to move that heat between the cold and warm sides. Some people prefer to think of it as a refrigerator running in reverse and heating up the interior of the cabinet. But its the same thing.

    • @stephenwensley9328

      The difference is Tesla use theirs to heat the battery pack to preheat it to optimal temperature for charging based on the navigation data. The Kia heat pump appears to do little more than add weight. Shame really. Good charging speed is all about optimal battery temperature on arrival, in the 30° region for most cars - for a lot of cars you can monitor that with an app & OBDII scanner

The Kia is probably only using the heatpump to increase the efficiency of cabin heating.

      @@15bit62 Kia has had a heat pump for at least 2 -3 years before tesla for heating the cabin.
      None of this is new and has been used in industry.... increasing complexity though greatly increases costs when it does need repair. Kia also has a heat exchanger that takes heat from the components and battery and can also be reversed.
      However, this in industry is nothing new and everything Tesla has done has been done before. All sourced physical components such as the battery came from other companies and the vast majority developed by them.
      The new battery size is simply a new size of battery with not much increase in energy density. The only thing that happens naturally with larger cells is greater output and greater capacity which is normal for that size of cell.
      It is not a genius of Tesla. Tesla is only using the economics of scale and that is mostly done and calculated by the workers of tesla not Elon Musk.
      Elon himself does not have the capability to think that was after thinking he would put hyperloop on rail in one speech and not realizing that it would not work. Anyone with basic understanding of HVAC knows hold vacuums in such large tubes is asking for trouble if it even holds and even more issues attempting to hold the vacuum.

    Very interesting thanks to all for a good vid. One suggestion, rather than 'back to 90%", since the battery capacities are different, can you also prorate to "time to add 100 miles' or similar? Because time to get back to 90% is obviously adding different miles. I appreciate this is done effectively on the first test, eg 'mileage to get back' but would be interesting to see how many miles they added in say 30 minutes.

    The heat pump works in the same way as the fridge chiller. It absorbs heat from one side and transfers it to the other using a compressed gas that turns to liquid (and back again).
    It’s more efficient than a PTC heater, up to about 5 times more efficient, so 1kw of power can deliver up to about 5kw of heat either into the battery or passenger compartment. A PTC heater only delivers 1kw of heat for every 1kw of power.

I reckon I could do exactly the same trip times in a Tesla as I do in my petrol car as my stops for toilet and/or food would be sufficient to charge enough.

    You guys seem to have had a lot of fun there. Nice material!
    I drive the same Tesla M3 with E5D LG battery for almost a year now and my record charging speed was 255kW for a split of a second at 2% state of charge this summer. I wonder if the M3 you got there was “navigating to supercharger”? I assume not as I get about 10kW more charging power at 37% (15:46). So, maybe the driver (Chris?) was just focusing on “showing” low consumption on the first leg with the sacrifice of “slow” charging afterwards. Also, on the return leg, the car would normally consume a lot less (assuming no wind/landscape influence) because it will pool the heat from the battery to heat up/maintain temperature in the cabin. Do not underestimate that, it can be easily between 1-2kWh/100Km 😉
    Cheers and thumbs up from an EV/data geek!

    Great video. I'm not familiar with the cost of charging in the UK so it would have been interesting to compare the cost of the trip. Here in New Zealand there is a charge per minute AND a charge per kwh (and Tesla Superchargers start to charge you after 10 mins of sitting connected without charging). These amounts vary between different capacity chargers as well so it becomes a multivariable equation to work out which EV is more economical, in what circumstances and to what percentage to charge...

  • @ianclare5721

    So a quick couple of questions on charging. Is it better to charge from say 10% to full at home on a 7kW charger or to just put the car on charge every night to keep topped up?
    2nd question do rapid chargers cause damage to the battery if used on a regular basis?
    Looking at getting our 1st EV my wife prefers the ID.4 I prefer the Audi Q4 e-tron.....as it's a lease car through her work....ID.4 it is. Currently running a Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 tdi 150 DSG, but finding it a bit thirsty around town.

    • @RSEV
      @RSEV  2 года назад +1

      I just plug in and top up overnight once or twice a week unless covering bigger miles the next day. It doesn’t really matter if plug in each night or not, but you don’t need to run low and then recharge.
      Most also best if charge to 90% daily and not 100% unless about your use it (LFP batteries excluded like the latest tesla model 3 sr)
      Very frequent rapid charging can cause increased battery degradation but doesn’t really matter. Plenty of EVs rapid charge multiple times a day if being used commercially like airport taxis etc. after hundreds of thousands of miles they may have lost a few more miles than a car that hasn’t.
      They’re jsut cars at the end of the day and less to worry about than combustion. Get yourself out of that kodiaq and into a Skoda Enyak!
