- Got my hands on a Kia Soul which is ironic in itself. Then discovered the EV Air Con Con and could not believe my eyes so had to pull over and film the thing as no one would believe me. Then discovered that for the same price as this Milk Float you can buy some seriously brilliant proper cars #electriccar #electricvehicle #evcars #kiasoul #futuremyarse #evscam #evcars
If Kia did an 'R Type' car it could be legitimately an R Soul

Nice comment 😄

Probably get more range if the beepers were turned off.
Dunno why, that just cracked me up…. just had a sip of coke, and out it sprayed, oh dear.
At least the 1970’s Lada’s had a heater which you weren’t afraid to use.
and a great heated rear window to keep your hands warm whilst pushing it 🙂
I look forward to people trying to push thier evs
@@0skar9193 I wouldn't mess with them if they could push it.
😂@@Ben_Vol10
I had a Lada and you could toast bread on the heater, and get 40 mpg!
So here we are. No heater, no fan, no demist, no wipers, no aircon, no lights, no luggage and no passengers.
Not if you drive it in Normal mode
Tony just lacks real longterm experience with an EV.
I did over 250’000km with EVs since 2015 and never used eco mode ever - you loose that instant acceleration and it’s painful to drive.
You loose all the good features and it’s only for newbies that are not used to have a feather foot in the accelerator.
If Tony would use it in normal mode and set the aircon to 20 degrees on the spend lowest setting he would only use 250wh.
That’s the equivalent of about 1 mile of range lost per hour for a warm cabin and no fogged up windows.
In conjunction with the heated steering wheel and the heater seats it’s perfect.
I happily take on any of those anti EV reviewers in a range test.
Tony can drive on eco and I drive in normal mode.
I bet £1000 that I get further than Tony without freezing my balls off.
@ian... top comment.
And no sense of comprehension by this reviewer!
@@badchefi great comment, as a LOT of ICE owners,
haven't got a clue about how EVs function,
I own a Mini Cooper Electric , with a range of 145 miles,
and recently did, London to Lands End and back in it,
(that's about a 600 mile round trip)
most of this journey was done at night,
so the lights, wipers and heater were being used
and I didn't drive under or over the speed limit either,
it required charging stops totalling about 50 mins,
during each 300 mile drive, which isn't much hassle at all,
(obviously, charging up at Lands End, Gridserve,
didn't add to my journey time,)
for an EV that most uneducated ICE owners would class as,
"just a local?? runaround??? EV"
As I live in London, I hardly need to go more than 50 miles from my home,
which means, I don't often drive over 100 miles in one day,
I can charge up locally, at my nearest FREE EV charging point,
that is in the car park, of my local supermarket, 500 meters from my home,
so about 95% of my driving gets done with FREE charging.
he hasn't got a clue how to drive an EV, LOL.
40K Pounds? Damn, that's about $50k here in the states, which puts you in luxury brand territory. I'd rather buy a brand new Lexus ES 350 with the V6 engine for the same price.
What a horrendous “car” that is. The nightclub analogy was spot on😂
My petrol and diesel cars all best part of 20 years old all have great heaters and the air con still works perfectly on them all. Of course I keep them well maintained. Great video as always 😊😊😊
And if they were EV's they would have had to have battery replacements every 8 years or so.
RUclips pushed me a space heater ad whilst watching this.
Obviously 2 + 2 =4, they assumed me seeing your breath whilst driving inside that car, left me feeling cold.
The power of suggestion.👍
There is nothing that I hate more than a car that tells the driver how to drive it. It's like having a built-in backseat driver, but in the front seat. But hey, it's "for your safety." Said everyone wanting to take away your autonomy.
Tony doesn’t read the instructions and doesn’t know that all the beeps can be turned off.
Tony is one of many that make up stories on RUclips for financial gain.
Yes, they can be disabled- for now. Those beeps need to be turned off every time you get in and start the car; a tremendous (and unnecessary) annoyance.
@@Rex_Racer with our EVs we can access the computer via a dongle and turn off the annoying beeps for good.
Our first EV hasn’t been beeping since 2016😂

Oh dear....and now China has banned the export of the raw materials to obtain a strangle hold of EV manufacturers worldwide.
Somewhere along the line someone has what the rest of the world wants....be it oil or EV batteries.
And it is oil that moves the raw materials around the globe anyway....many many miles involved in worldwide shipping.
The carbon foot print of EV's is huge before the car even leaves the assembly line.
Overpriced. Expensive to insure. Costly to repair. Low resale value....if not downright directly headed for the scrap yards.

Put the fan on and the electric rear window heater and it will probably go to a minus number 😂
The battery would probably drop off the car if the temperature was 0'c or lower.
🤣 negative miles. You have to reverse up the motorway, it's dangerous but don't worry, you're saving the planet lol
You can lose more range lowering the window and causing more drag at speed. It would be interesting to see if the car can sense that in the range estimator.
But when the car does adjust the forecast range ( quite accurately) this idiot says " it has lost its range at the press of a button". It is giving the driver a forecast!

ICE vehicles are great, the electric runs on and recharges as you drive, by an invention called an alternator! The 12v system on BEVs is recharged by, you know, the battery you need for range, brilliant.
so the 12v is kept topped up by the petrol or battery - both of which drive the car too. Whats the difference?

Is the supplied charging cable long and sturdy enough to, you know,? 😮
Not even BOBFOC.
Something else to consider, the longer the fan is on, the more range it loses. Why we don't simply up production and use the carbon neutral fuel that works in every ICE engine is beyond me. If global warming was accelerated by co2 emissions, this would have an instant effect and can be produced for the same price at the pump that we are currently paying. It doesn't need any new infrastructure or any environment destroying mining for expensive limited minerals that unexpectedly catch fire.
Kia Soul Destroyer…
You should have gone and asked those other Milk Float drivers 'What the hell are you doing here?'...
It's not the fan taking the juice, it's the heating element. I love my diesel van, not an EV fan.

😂 Add to that the million pound insurance costs. I used to own a Kia Soul. A 1.6 diesel automatic, what a lovely little car. It was like a go kart, but as for ev's stick 'em I'm not interested.
I love my heated seats, heated steering wheel, heated windscreen, air-conditioning and heater and powerful fan in my Volvo. I use it all everyday especially in this weather and I will resist buying an electric vehicle no matter how much the government rips me off.
I love all of those things on my Model 3 as well and it has the same impact on range and efficiency - except I can ask the car to be ready for me to leave in -5C with with a warm cabin, seats, steeering wheel etc , all while still inside a locked garage, and still with 100% charge ready to go.
@@TB-up4xi So how far can you go on a full tank in your Model 3?

@@Evcarnage they’re vital information to get out there to the buying public. Getting the truth out there.
Bloke at work has been given an electric van. It's got 140 miles range. He has to make a trip to one of the depts which is 140 mile round trip, so he travels in eco with nothing on because if he can't charge at the depot (the charger keeps breaking) he can't get home. Talk about range anxiety. His arse is permanently nipping 😂
My wife has a Kia Soul EV, and I think it’s great. We call it the milk float as well. A bit chilly? Try pressing the “Heat” button, it works well even in Eco mode. It out-accelerates both of my ICE cars (LR & Subaru), even in Eco mode - and to be honest I never have to drive it in any other mode. And I’m no eco warrior, I just drive like any other normal driver. Only 160 mile range? I’ve driven it over 250 miles on a single charge - it does get a bit less in winter - it’s using some battery power for that heater. Can only charge to 80%? Total tosh, maybe true if you only ever use rapid public chargers, but for the vast majority of drivers that’s not the case. It’s about 6 months since our car has had to visit one. Pings all the time? My LR & Subaru do more of that than the Soul - all drive me mad at times, but it’s an issue with all modern cars, not EVs specifically. I’ll give you one thing - it’s not the greatest looking car in the world, but there are worse out there.
I know being controversial gets you more clicks, but try and inject a bit of reality into your “reporting” 😂
A lot of these people are really only on it for the gravy train clicks. They've never had one, they just roll with preconceived ideas of what they are like, bolstered by others kicking the same can.
We've got an Enyaq milk float - heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, it's always warm before you get in it, and with the money we've saved on fuel we've booked a holiday to Greece - That's work a 30min stops at service station a few times a year.

Have you thought about asking the milkfloaters at the charging station about their experience? Pros and cons. Does it meet their needs and expectations? Why they choose a model, and if there is something they'd rather have instead? If they love it I'd really like to know why. If they hate it, it would break the facade of wide spread adoption.

As Harry (of EVO) says, the first thing he does is turn off all the acronym driver assist.
@@adventtrooper All new models under new regulations turn the bloody things back on every time the ignition is started. JLR have come up with assist profiles you can switch to from the steering wheel, but you still have to select the custom profile every time.

@@system11ytIt's completely annoying. Harry was thoroughly fed up with it as he has to drive through his farm to get to the road and it's constantly nagging him. Every time he turns on a modern car he has to spend time turning off all the driver aids as they're convinced he's speeding, crashing into obstacles and driving off the road.
Chuckled at Jeremy Clarkson bit, but when the beeping never stopped, that literally felt like one of Clarkson's reviews with some sort of ''feature'' pestering him all the time while doing the review. Nicely done!
Love the comparison to a pulling a bird 😂😂😂😂😂🍻
I love going past EVs on the motorway in my Range Rover who are mostly driving in lanes 1 or 2 and going way less than 70mph just to try to get to their destination without having to recharge.
Aircon where the temperature setting is just a suggestion. 😂
This week I have covered 550 mostly motorway miles in a diesel Citroen C3 Picasso. Most of that distance was covered with 4 adults on board and the boot and a roof box full of their luggage and some level of heating on for the whole trip. This has been done on a single tank of diesel and I still have around 50 miles left in the tank. The refuelling will take around 5 minutes and give me another 600+ miles of range. Frankly, until an EV can offer me this level of hassle-free motoring, I am not interested.
That constant beeping would drive me nuts.....imagine that on a 200 mile drive..you'd have no hair left by the time you reached your destination..!!.
Crazy! I'm so happy to own a 2006 Lexus GS300 and a 1970 Rover P5b saloon. No tax, no worries, just power and comfort.
You made the fatal mistake of not testing it in Sunny Seville in perfect conditions.
There’s is no way in hell you would lose 10% of range just from having the fans on 100% on an ICE…
When my decade old battery was starting to fail, the fan was limited to low, so there's some load on the system; ICE heat is just redirected from exterior loss to the interior but an EV has to provide power from the range. Setting to 27'C may not help as a heat pump (I assume it is that type of heater but it's not stated in the online brochure) is inefficient for large temperature changes in a short time; I would like to see the range if the car was pre-heated while charging to (for me) a comfortable 21'C and then the temperature maintained.
You don't in an EV either turning just the fans on in my Model 3 uses basically nothing. Turning the aircon on cruising on the freeway at 70mph makes the consumption go from 200 to 215-20 Wh/mi or a 7.5 to 10% range loss / higher consumption.
My 2015 Audi Q7 diesel 4.2 TDI used 8L/100 highway cruising aircon off and 9L/100 aircon on - thats a 12% reduction in range and efficiency.
The alternator is always running with an ICE, so really no range will be lost using anything electrical as the generator is always active and a part of the constant mechanics 👍
You don't think that the laws of physics apply to ICE's?
The A/C on my car drops the mpg more than that.
Loosing half a mile for every "beep".. 😂
Our long-range milk float came with a built-in generator, best feature is using the battery to pre warm the thing on a cold morning, then use the generator to drive to work!
You make entertaining videos my friend, but please get a clip on mic or two. It will improve the sound significantly. Love the guy in the background trying to charge his milk float!
The worst thing with those beeping driving aids is you can turn em off. But have to do that every single time you start the car!.and before long due to 'EU' rules you won't be able to!.
My 21 year old Kia Sportage 2.5 diesel will return 37 mpg and has a range of just under 600 miles on a full tank.
like surfing if you piss in the seat you will keep warm 😂
I literally sold my PHEV with a huge loss because of the constant beeping. I drive a naturally aspirated V8 now. It makes nice noises only :D
Do they do a Kia r soul ?
Probably the best RUclips channel in the world Tony thanks
‘You see a bird in the nightclub.’ 70s language from a person stuck in the 70s.
and his favourite car is probably,
a 1970 Ford Capri, with a jacked up rear end and sidepipes,
half painted with "red oxide primmer" LOL.
@@organickevinlondon and a puddle of oil on the floor under the engine…
@@ObiePaddles NO, he puts his cat's shit tray under its engine, hoping that deters the local Robins, from making a nest where it's air filter should be, "like they did last year", LOL, I also bet that, "EV carnage????" has got, 1970s box sets of, wholly politically incorrect "so called comedy????" Betamax videos too, YOU know the score, "Love Thy Neighbour and The Benny Hill Show" come to my mind too, whereas the "random manic insanity" of Monty Pythons Flying Circus and Spike Milligan, floated my boat,
me, I'm 60 and "not STUCK" in either,
the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, or 2000s, "as like most 60 years olds???", I go to all night raves and "kinda blend in with dudes, up to 40 years younger than me, no problem whatsoever", as a Human Being, "I have risked my life TWICE in London, to successfully save 2 peoples lives" once in 1986 and again in 1996, to me, ANYONE that ad libs positively to my "random? manic?? insane???" You Tube comments, is well worth, having a beer or two with, LOL, your "one liner" about "the puddle of oil,
under that apparent Ford Capri's engine"
totally cracked me up, big time,
"THANKS FOR THAT".
It gets to 40°c + in my home state in Australia, do we have keep the air-conditioner off all the time to get anywhere?
Hell-on Man, Geoff only gave you 10/10, he's a skinflint, i give you 11/10!
Should be the Kia soulless bleeping freezer.
Numb fingers, frozen feet, Numb Bum & and frosty breath sounds a joy. ….sorry I’ll stick with my lovely warm toasty petrol car Thanks. 😂 I will never buy one.
EV’s have a place, they help w. Energy security, are great as a second car to do all the local run about duties…. we gotta start somewhere, however pushing us to exclusively EV’s is just nuts. A mix is okay. Choice is important. The technology is so far away, however those that want them, well fine, they can buy em. Those of us happy with our combustion should be able to keep on trucking. apologies spelling grammar.
Fair play you crack me up I enjoy watching your vids I have to laugh I also think owning an ev is going to be a nightmare to live with, don’t forget to turn your ac fan switch off before you go for your coffee you will have no power left 😂😂😂
As soon as you said you were Cornish I subscribed. I live on a boat in Cornwall and drive a Suzuki Carry 1.3. Perfect for Cornish lanes and pretty easy for my partner to fix most problems. Downside is the rust but I think it adds character. Love EV videos - don't know why - probably because I can't quite believe anyone would buy one. But each to their own.
The range is the sum of a maths equation, it’s nice to see someone bemused that changing the values changes the answer.
At our work we have a Renault ev van and the heater rubbish
It clearly demonstrates how much energy is taken up by air con systems in petrol /diesel cars.Your mpg will go up if you turn off the air con.An electric car teachers you this.
Next door has a towel across his 208ev dashboard to absorb the moisture and get another 12 miles of range😂
My 2002 Focus ZX3 has LOADS of wonderful heat, without any range penalty. Milk floats need a small diesel generator onboard for recharging, air conditioning, and heater, and well anything using power besides the drive motors.🤣
There it is.The stupidest thing ill read today.
