Watched this on the TV during the week and forgot to comment. Another excellent video Chris, very professional, love the music. Keep up the good work 👏
Nice drive. Beating up the battery pack, again! Poor e-Golf battery pack. No sweaty palms this time because you are a pro at squeezing e-Golf range. Are you sure you want an ID.3? So many slow drivers in Germany. 🤨
So, this EV would be a great for shorter commuting or ideal for city driving unless you drive at 90 kmh or less on the highway? Thanks for sharing your experience. Cheers.
Thanks for the video! I'm considering getting a 2019 35.8kwh golf. Just need to make sure that it will do my daily work commute of 135km round trip on one charge, it's mostly motorway (Ireland) so will be averaging 110kmph, what do you think roughly my max distance is at 110/120kmph.
Yes used. 60.000 km on the clock. But that range of 180 km is not great right? I can’t charge at home. And also not at work. I drive 240 km a week. On internet i found that the car cost €5,50 per 100 km to charge public. Per month it’s not so cheap i think
The famous German lane discipline where everyone moves over to let you past. In England half of them would block you either because they ‘need’ to be in the fast lane 5 miles ahead or they object to you driving too fast 😆
Thank you so much for your video! Exactly what I was looking for..the range at higher speeds.. I usually drive 110km/day (90% at highway) at around 100km/h avg speed.. so I believe it will be a good choice buying it as a 2nd hand vehicle, don't you agree? (I was initially thinking on a 2018/2019 BMW i3, but I think that its eventual body repair costs in an eventual small crash would be significant due to its glass fiber composition, which is putting me away from it). Cheers
@@brunofernandes6518 i’ve used the car for about a week and its amazing. I use about 13,15 kWh / 100. The airconditioning is using pretty much, about 50 kilometers range and I saw the heating using extremely much so i cant use It a normal gasoline car unfortunatly
I am Happy ELECTRA has arrived are you puzzled ???? this is the name i have given to my new car. I have just got an full EV and its an IONIQ 28kwh version just what i could afford she is BLUE and the SE version
Wauw that’a cheap. In my street on a public charger ( can’t charge at home) they ask €5,50 for 100 km! And on the highway on fastned they ask €9,75 per 100 km. With a leaf with a range of 200 km i had to charge 2 times a week. I think that’s not cheap. ( the Netherlands)
The average speed doesn't correlate to average consumption because air resistance is non-linear with speed. It goes approx as velocity squared. So high speed means high consumption but little contribution to average speed (because it takes less time to cover the same distance). While low speed means lower consumption but high contribution to average speed (because it takes longer to cover the same distance). Basically the average speed of 130 km/h mostly reflects the time he spent at 0-120 km/h, while the energy consumption mostly reflects the time he spent at 147 km/h. It's not what he'd get if he drove 130 km/h the entire time. If you assume the 125 mi (201 km) nominal range is measured at 100 km/h (62 mph), taking into account only aerodynamic losses we should expect a range of: 55 mph (88.5 km/h) = 159 miles (256 km) 62 mph (100 km/h) = 125 miles (baseline) 70 mph (113 km/h) = 98 miles (158 km) 80 mph (129 km/h) = 75 miles (121 km) 90 mph (145 km/h) = 59 miles (95 km) 91 mph (147 km/h) = 57.6 miles (92.8 km) That tracks pretty closely to this test where he spent most of the time at 91 mph, with an average speed around 80 mph, and managed to travel a bit over 100 km. (This estimate is only taking into account aerodynamic losses, not hotel loads and other losses. So it won't be very accurate below about 55 mph. But the 55 mph estimate falls pretty close to the extreme upper range owners have reported of about 160 miles under ideal conditions.)
Hey Christian, thanks for sharing!
The pedal to the metal 👊

Rolled through that stop sign like you were in Arizona.
Time lapse like master Bjorn:))...Nice video Man!!
Results @ 19:14
Thanks. Usually at the end ;)

Luckily e-Golf is impervious to COVID🤚🏻😃 Another great video!
Das LED Licht ist so Geil.
Japp, absolut genial.
There is a e-golf for sale. For €13.000 euro with a range of 180km. Is that a good deal?
Sounds good. Used?

Only 100 km???
Great, but which e-golf is that, which year, how much kWh ?
Latest. 35 kWh

I have the same situation. I drive 140 km a day and have bought a E-Golf 2017 today. I Will be getting It in a week!
@@jesper3185 Good luck with your vehicle Jesper! Then give us some feedback from your daily use. Cheers

You wouldn’t think. But the prius also have a low noice lever at 140 kmh.
Cool.

How much cost public charging per 100 km in Deutschland?
Depends on the charger and provider. Starts at 29 cent per kWh.
Wauw that’a cheap. In my street on a public charger ( can’t charge at home) they ask €5,50 for 100 km! And on the highway on fastned they ask €9,75 per 100 km. With a leaf with a range of 200 km i had to charge 2 times a week. I think that’s not cheap. ( the Netherlands)
Even my other car the prius was cheaper on gas per month. Than charging the leaf
so at 80mph you'll only get 60miles/100km range? that's pretty terrible, as I'd need 70mph for motorway driving
The average speed doesn't correlate to average consumption because air resistance is non-linear with speed. It goes approx as velocity squared. So high speed means high consumption but little contribution to average speed (because it takes less time to cover the same distance).

55 mph (88.5 km/h) = 159 miles (256 km)
62 mph (100 km/h) = 125 miles (baseline)
70 mph (113 km/h) = 98 miles (158 km)
80 mph (129 km/h) = 75 miles (121 km)
90 mph (145 km/h) = 59 miles (95 km)
91 mph (147 km/h) = 57.6 miles (92.8 km)
That tracks pretty closely to this test where he spent most of the time at 91 mph, with an average speed around 80 mph, and managed to travel a bit over 100 km.

@@solandri69 ...your chart above is EXACTLY what i've been seaching for! thanks for doing the mathwork because the GOM is practically useless! 🙂
This video gave me range anxiety
Like your driving style. At 140 km/h approx 10 m behind another car....
