Yes, Teslas & Other EVs CAN Charge While Driving (Sort Of...)
Many people ask whether electric cars can charge up while driving along, which this video explores. The short answer is that self-charging road surfaces and physics-defying dynamos won't really work, but integrated solar panels and improved regen braking will help... a bit.
This video explains the benefits and shortfalls of regen braking, and looks at whether a self-charging EV is genuinely likely.

Mistakes First-Time EV Drivers Make (They're VERY Different To Gas Cars)
zhlédnutí 87Před 2 lety
When I first jumped into an EV and drove it... I was surprised at how different it was, compared to my old gasoline car (a manual Hyundai SUV). After hearing of other new EV drivers having similar issues, I wanted to shoot this video and cover the most common issues you might face when you first drive in an electric car. 0:00 Intro 0:31 Mistake 1 - Regen braking 1:11 Mistake 2 - Pedal confusion...
Why Electric Cars Have Low Top Speed (Are All EVs Low Speed?!)
zhlédnutí 907Před 2 lety
Electric cars offer everything, right? Eco-friendly credentials, awesome acceleration, and high top speeds. Wait, back up - that's wrong. EVs historically have much lower top speeds than gasoline cars, but why is this? Are all EVs low speed, or only some of them? We explore these questions, and more, in this video. 0:00 - Intro 1:10 - #1 (are EVs slower?) 1:38 - #2 (how much slower are EVs?) 3:...
Nissan Leaf Water Testing - Up To 700mm

Footage of a Nissan Leaf press conference from 8 years ago, which shows how the various waterproofed/sealed components of the Leaf ensure that it can go through some fairly deep water without any major problems. Footage copyright © Nissan, and is taken from 27:30 of the video at www.ustream.tv/recorded/11217657. This video is part of our "Is Driving An Electric Car Through Flood Water Safe?" ar...

    The Tesla Model 3 regenerative braking is fairly efficient. Driving up a mountain road that largely depletes the battery can replace about 90% of the used energy going up. Would post an image of the power log, but this is not allowed by the interface. This result was confirmed by a Tesla semi with a full load.

      Regen braking is super intuitive. After a short time it is the preferred driving interface.

    Top speed means nothing if you can't turn fast enough. EV's do turn better than ICE cars as they have better weight distribution. The number of fast cars that flipped vs EV's is huge. On a motor cross EV's would wipe ICE cars.

    @yvs6663 Před 2 lety

    wrong. the range wouldn't be effected since the tests are done at legal speed limits which an electric car can reach unless u live in Germany. fact is that electric cars(with the exception of the eTron GT, Taycan and iMiev) have only one gear unless u want to introduce a whole lot of mechanical components that don't need to be there. so u can either have less torque off the line or a higher top speed. some manufacturers like Tesla combat this by making a (4WD) dual motor model with different gearings for each motor and even different types of motors.

    • @GreenCarFuture
      @GreenCarFuture Před 2 lety

      A fair point, although many people are interested in the range - be it due to the media whipping up a frenzy due to 'range anxiety', or genuine concern for people who drive many miles each week.

  • @dryvve
    @dryvve Před 2 lety

    Why is there a choice between high topspeed and high range? I get that driving an electric car at their highest speed drains the battery a lot more quickly, but the range of cars as advertised by the manufacturer never assumes the car driving at it's top speed, right? So unlocking the speedcap that most of these cars have should not decrease the range of the car when driving at normal speeds. The manufacturer could then advertise a high range and a high top speed. Is there something I'm missing here or is it purely about not allowing people to drive at higher speeds to not drain their batteries as quickly?

    • @GreenCarFuture
      @GreenCarFuture Před 2 lety

      Yes you're right and not missing something - it's purely about stopping people from driving 'too quickly', which places too much of a burden on the battery. It's a bit like the 80/20 rule - getting up to a 'good enough' top speed isn't too bad for battery life, but going well over 100 mph top speed does impact on range more than you'd expect. (Unless you're Tesla 🤣)
