  • 00:00:00
    I've got the very latest electric SUVs
  • 00:00:03
    and they're the longest range versions
  • 00:00:04
    of each model and I'm going to be
  • 00:00:06
    driving them up north to see how far
  • 00:00:08
    they can go on a single charge and see
  • 00:00:10
    how close they get to the manufacturer's
  • 00:00:12
    claimed range I'll also be seeing what
  • 00:00:14
    exactly happens when they run out of
  • 00:00:16
    electricity do they suddenly just like
  • 00:00:17
    con out or can you carry on driving for
  • 00:00:19
    ages when they say they're actually
  • 00:00:21
    empty who knows anyway I'm my Watson and
  • 00:00:24
    you're watching
  • 00:00:27
    carwow this is the recently updated Audi
  • 00:00:30
    Q4 erron it has a battery capacity of
  • 00:00:33
    this and a claimed range of that this is
  • 00:00:36
    the K ev6 and Kia has just given it a
  • 00:00:39
    new battery so the capacity is this and
  • 00:00:42
    now the claimed range is that Tesla's
  • 00:00:44
    also given its model y a new battery
  • 00:00:46
    before the updated Juniper arrives next
  • 00:00:48
    year anyway it has a battery capacity of
  • 00:00:50
    this and a claim range of that this is
  • 00:00:54
    the all new electric Porsche mecan
  • 00:00:56
    loving the color and also liking the
  • 00:00:57
    look anyway it has a battery capacity of
  • 00:00:59
    this
  • 00:01:00
    and a claimed range of that this rather
  • 00:01:03
    weird rear windowless car can only be
  • 00:01:06
    the pulse star for it has a batter
  • 00:01:08
    capacity of this and a range of that
  • 00:01:11
    finally we have the Ford Explorer it has
  • 00:01:13
    a b capacity of this and a range of that
  • 00:01:16
    for this EV range test we have charged
  • 00:01:18
    each of the cars to 100% however we
  • 00:01:20
    could do it here from our starting
  • 00:01:21
    location which is cherwell Valley
  • 00:01:23
    Services because all of these Chargers
  • 00:01:24
    are out of action right now I think
  • 00:01:26
    they're doing some work on them
  • 00:01:27
    fortunately there was a McDonald's just
  • 00:01:29
    around the corner corner with two iony
  • 00:01:31
    Chargers so we have to F the cars
  • 00:01:32
    backwards and forwards not a great start
  • 00:01:34
    they've actually just turned on the
  • 00:01:35
    charger so they're just booting up now
  • 00:01:37
    looks like we got our timing wrong okay
  • 00:01:39
    we're in the cars I'm going to start off
  • 00:01:41
    in the Audi Q4 everyone has got their
  • 00:01:43
    trip reset we've got full batteries we
  • 00:01:46
    are good to go few rules we are not
  • 00:01:48
    going to use the cruise control on the
  • 00:01:50
    cars we're going to drive them ourselves
  • 00:01:51
    while we'll use the climate control and
  • 00:01:53
    set it around 20° we won't be using the
  • 00:01:56
    electric seats cuz they can be a bit of
  • 00:01:58
    a drain on the battery also we're going
  • 00:01:59
    to be running at the speed limit we're
  • 00:02:01
    not going to be going dead slow until we
  • 00:02:03
    reach a point that we are struggling for
  • 00:02:05
    charge and then you're going to do what
  • 00:02:07
    any normal EV driver will do and slow
  • 00:02:09
    down to maximize their range but until
  • 00:02:11
    then we just going Drive normally so
  • 00:02:13
    then Nick lead us away I seem to be
  • 00:02:16
    running in efficiency mode I'm just
  • 00:02:18
    going to run it in auto mode no one
  • 00:02:20
    likes efficiency there we go oh look
  • 00:02:23
    here's another charge point
  • 00:02:25
    which isn't actually working looks brand
  • 00:02:27
    new at least they're putting new ones in
  • 00:02:29
    that's how it should be every petrol
  • 00:02:31
    station you should have fast charging
  • 00:02:33
    maybe we get in there we'll find out on
  • 00:02:35
    this journey how many service stations I
  • 00:02:37
    stop at which have inoperable electric
  • 00:02:40
    car chargers so let me tell you about
  • 00:02:41
    this Audi starts from just under £48,000
  • 00:02:44
    but this one because it's got the
  • 00:02:47
    midlevel motor and the larger battery
  • 00:02:50
    plus it's the top spec in terms of
  • 00:02:52
    equipment it's actually 60,000 though
  • 00:02:54
    you can save an average of just under
  • 00:02:57
    £4,000 off a new Audi Q4 through car
  • 00:03:00
    away now in terms of the Interior they
  • 00:03:01
    haven't really updated this but it still
  • 00:03:03
    looks pretty nice the infotainment
  • 00:03:04
    system is easy to use I like the fact
  • 00:03:06
    that the climate control is separate
  • 00:03:08
    Audi's been doing good digital DS for
  • 00:03:10
    ages now and I don't think there's
  • 00:03:12
    really been much improvement by anyone
  • 00:03:14
    else they're nice clear got plenty of
  • 00:03:15
    information but there are a few things
  • 00:03:18
    like the plastic up here feels a little
  • 00:03:20
    bit hard down here it's a bit scratchy
  • 00:03:22
    and you can tell that this is towards
  • 00:03:24
    the bottom end of the Audi range even
  • 00:03:26
    though it's a £60,000
  • 00:03:28
    car however the way it drives Wes is
  • 00:03:30
    quite nice so this one is on the sport
  • 00:03:32
    suspension it's 50 mm lower than
  • 00:03:34
    standard yet it still goes over bumps
  • 00:03:36
    really well and it hasn't got adaptive
  • 00:03:38
    dampers so that's quite impressive the
  • 00:03:40
    steerings pretty responsive and so too
  • 00:03:43
    is the electric motor we've got 286
  • 00:03:46
    horsepower on this car not 66.7 seconds
  • 00:03:49
    so it's not a rocket ship but it's just
  • 00:03:51
    responsive if you look over there you'll
  • 00:03:52
    see that we've got a scoda Kodiak as our
  • 00:03:55
    camera car so for a bit of fun we've
  • 00:03:57
    actually filled up its tank with diesel
  • 00:03:59
    it's two Diesel and we're going to
  • 00:04:01
    measure how far that goes on a tank of
  • 00:04:04
    fuel we're also going to compare the
  • 00:04:05
    running cost for each of these cars in
  • 00:04:07
    this test at the end of the video so
  • 00:04:08
    that'll look at how much they cost in
  • 00:04:10
    terms of electricity for the journey
  • 00:04:12
    we're doing so I've just clocked over 20
  • 00:04:14
    miles I've got 89% of my battery
  • 00:04:17
    remaining it says I've got a remaining
  • 00:04:18
    range of 236 mil and I've been averaging
  • 00:04:23
    2.6 m per Kow hour not brilliant let's
  • 00:04:26
    find out how the other cars are doing
  • 00:04:28
    Kia can you give me your details please
  • 00:04:31
    92% battery I'm averaging 2.7 m per KW
  • 00:04:36
    256 miles remaining Paul star how about
  • 00:04:39
    you 91% of my battery remaining 3 m per
  • 00:04:43
    Kow
  • 00:04:45
    337 mil left of range how about the
  • 00:04:48
    Tesla 90% battery left 286 W hours per
  • 00:04:52
    mile which works out at 3.5 m per kwatt
  • 00:04:55
    hour a projected range of 247 Mi but I
  • 00:04:58
    would imagine the Press person who
  • 00:05:00
    delivered it was a little heavy footed
  • 00:05:01
    so this is only going to go up ooh
  • 00:05:03
    fighting talk how about the Porsche 93%
  • 00:05:07
    of its battery remaining is 3.1 m per KW
  • 00:05:11
    hour
  • 00:05:12
    241 mil and finally the Ford 91% of its
  • 00:05:16
    battery remaining 271 M and I'm
  • 00:05:19
    averaging 3.5 m per kwatt well that's
  • 00:05:22
    quite good so in terms of efficiency
  • 00:05:24
    it's the Ford and the Tesla but really I
  • 00:05:27
    think it's quite close right now
  • 00:05:28
    everything to play for oh one last thing
  • 00:05:30
    scoda Kodiak can you tell me your
  • 00:05:33
    average mpg and your remaining range
  • 00:05:36
    43.8 miles to the gallon and I have
  • 00:05:39
    475 M of range
  • 00:05:42
    remaining ah tell you what it's a bit
  • 00:05:44
    annoying I've got the top of the range
  • 00:05:46
    car but it doesn't seem to have surround
  • 00:05:47
    view cameras just come on
  • 00:05:51
    no that's it it's a bit mean I'm about
  • 00:05:55
    to jump into another car but before I do
  • 00:05:57
    I'm going to give you a quick overview
  • 00:05:58
    of the practicality of this Q4 so knee
  • 00:06:01
    room here in the back's good head room
  • 00:06:02
    is pretty decent there's lots of foot
  • 00:06:04
    space now let's check out the boot space
  • 00:06:05
    so we've got 520 L of capacity but that
  • 00:06:09
    does include this space into here which
  • 00:06:11
    is where all the charging cables are
  • 00:06:13
    let's see how usable It Is by seeing how
  • 00:06:15
    many large men we can fit in it so let's
  • 00:06:18
    try large man number one see if you can
  • 00:06:20
    fit
  • 00:06:21
    in so he fits I wonder if we can fit
  • 00:06:24
    another one in there I think you're
  • 00:06:26
    going to have to top and tail large man
  • 00:06:27
    number two oh no
  • 00:06:30
    it's a good job we get on you're about
  • 00:06:33
    to get on very very well right try and
  • 00:06:35
    squeeze in do you reckon this is doable
  • 00:06:38
    right I don't think this is going to
  • 00:06:41
    shut oh almost but no cigar one last
  • 00:06:44
    thing to note about the Q for is that
  • 00:06:46
    while Audi has updated it and supposedly
  • 00:06:49
    facelifted it they haven't actually
  • 00:06:50
    changed any of the exterior design as
  • 00:06:52
    you can see look there's the
  • 00:06:53
    pre-facelift version the only difference
  • 00:06:55
    is the trim level the design and
  • 00:06:57
    everything is just exactly the same here
  • 00:06:59
    at North Services Northbound on the M1
  • 00:07:01
    there is just one DC charger and it only
  • 00:07:05
    does 60 KW I've now jumped into the K
  • 00:07:08
    ev6 the range starts from just under
  • 00:07:10
    £46,000 however this one being the range
  • 00:07:12
    topping GT line S costs from just under
  • 00:07:16
    £55,000 now you can save an average of
  • 00:07:19
    just over £22,000 on one of these
  • 00:07:21
    through carw and if you want to see how
  • 00:07:22
    much money you can save on your next car
  • 00:07:24
    just click on the pop out Banner ping in
  • 00:07:25
    the top right hand corner of the screen
  • 00:07:27
    or scan the QR code on screen now and
  • 00:07:29
    it's got absolutely everything on it
  • 00:07:32
    I've got heads up display I've got
  • 00:07:34
    wonderful blind spot monitoring cameras
  • 00:07:36
    look you can see that lry just there my
  • 00:07:38
    blind spot I've got the 84 KW battery
  • 00:07:41
    which is the biggest one you can get
  • 00:07:42
    with this car but it's only the single
  • 00:07:44
    motor version It's rear wheeel drive
  • 00:07:46
    puts out 228 horsepower and can do n 60
  • 00:07:50
    in 7.7 seconds now when I put my foot
  • 00:07:53
    down in it the pickup isn't quite as
  • 00:07:55
    strong as in the Audi also just the way
  • 00:07:57
    it goes down the road doesn't feel quite
  • 00:07:59
    as EXP expensive the cabin just feels
  • 00:08:02
    way more high-tech than the Audi you
  • 00:08:04
    have separate climate control buttons
  • 00:08:05
    that look like you can just quickly
  • 00:08:06
    change the temperature like that and
  • 00:08:07
    they're not physical buttons it's like a
  • 00:08:09
    touch sensitive screen it works pretty
  • 00:08:11
    well terms of
  • 00:08:12
    quality yeah it feels about the same as
  • 00:08:14
    the Audi really the seats aren't quite
  • 00:08:17
    so nice though right so we're just
  • 00:08:19
    coming up to 50 Mi and this Kia is
  • 00:08:23
    averaging 3.1 m per kwatt hour and I've
  • 00:08:26
    got 82% of battery remaining which is
  • 00:08:29
    good for a range of 231 mil let's see
  • 00:08:32
    how the other cars are doing what's
  • 00:08:33
    happening with the Q4 3.2 m per kwatt
  • 00:08:36
    hour
  • 00:08:37
    78% remaining on its battery and is
  • 00:08:40
    predicted to do another 226 mil what
  • 00:08:44
    about the pole star poar is doing 29.2
  • 00:08:47
    KW hours per 100 miles which works out
  • 00:08:50
    at 3.4 m per Kow hour it has 83% of its
  • 00:08:54
    battery left and it reckons it can go
  • 00:08:56
    another
  • 00:08:58
    308 mil
  • 00:09:00
    whoa what about the Tesla 222 W hours
  • 00:09:04
    per mile that works out at 4.5 m per KW
  • 00:09:08
    hour battery of 80% and unfortunately my
  • 00:09:11
    range has gone up to 276 M and
  • 00:09:14
    climbing I think s wants to check out
  • 00:09:17
    early and next the Porsche 3.5 m per KW
  • 00:09:21
    hour 86% battery and my range is
  • 00:09:25

    mil seems odd and finally the Ford 3.9 m
  • 00:09:32
    per KW hour I have 82% of my battery
  • 00:09:35
    remaining and that gives me 249 M so it
  • 00:09:38
    appears that the pole star is going to
  • 00:09:40
    go the furthest that's for now though
  • 00:09:42
    unlike the Audi look fall 360 degree
  • 00:09:46
    [Music]
  • 00:09:48
    cameras just going to do a quick
  • 00:09:49
    practicality check there's loads of knee
  • 00:09:51
    room plenty of foot space as well you
  • 00:09:53
    can even like recline the seatbacks
  • 00:09:56
    headro not quite as good as in the Audi
  • 00:09:58
    but there's much in it let's check out
  • 00:10:00
    the boot we've got some storage under
  • 00:10:01
    here the boot capacity including that
  • 00:10:03
    storage under there is 490 L we've got a
  • 00:10:06
    retractable load cover which could come
  • 00:10:09
    in handy for our man test so men
  • 00:10:11
    climbing the
  • 00:10:12
    boot this might be better than the Audi
  • 00:10:15
    G
  • 00:10:16
    on
  • 00:10:19
    right they're in they are in that's
  • 00:10:22
    impressive right I want to show you
  • 00:10:23
    something not only can we fit the guys
  • 00:10:26
    in the boot there is room in the front
  • 00:10:33
    boot actually D my bottom can fit in
  • 00:10:35
    there let's find out so yeah look I can
  • 00:10:40
    just about squeeze in here I don't know
  • 00:10:41
    if I can squeeze out can you help me out
  • 00:10:44
    literally
  • 00:10:48
    stuck let's get the boys out the boot as
  • 00:10:51
    well are you right sorry sorry there
  • 00:10:54
    were two DC Chargers here at Leicester
  • 00:10:57
    Forest East service station but but
  • 00:10:59
    they're out of action in fact about 3 or
  • 00:11:02
    4 months ago when we did another range
  • 00:11:03
    test they're out of action then to be
  • 00:11:05
    fair these Chargers have now been
  • 00:11:07
    removed from zap map but they haven't
  • 00:11:10
    bothered to fit any other new ones in
  • 00:11:13
    the meantime brilliant I've now jumped
  • 00:11:16
    into the Ford Explorer and the thing a
  • 00:11:18
    bit familiar about this car this switch
  • 00:11:21
    gear here reminds me of a Volkswagen
  • 00:11:24
    that's because this car underneath its
  • 00:11:26
    skin is basically a Volkswagen ID 4
  • 00:11:29
    which actually means that underneath its
  • 00:11:32
    skin it's pretty much identical to the
  • 00:11:34
    Audi Q4 I've already driven so it has
  • 00:11:36
    the same 77 KW battery has the same
  • 00:11:39
    286 horsepower rear drive motor in this
  • 00:11:42
    car though it's good for not to 60
  • 00:11:44
    according to Ford of 6.4 seconds and it
  • 00:11:47
    feels pretty nippy nippier than the Kia
  • 00:11:49
    but about the same as the Audi in fact
  • 00:11:51
    the whole Driving Experience is very
  • 00:11:53
    similar to the Audi the Ford Explorer
  • 00:11:56
    starts from just under £440,000 this one
  • 00:11:59
    have here is just under £50,000 though
  • 00:12:01
    you can save an average of £3,000 off on
  • 00:12:03
    through carwow the car I've got is
  • 00:12:05
    actually in the lowest Spectrum although
  • 00:12:07
    it's not low speec in any way shape all
  • 00:12:09
    four got loads of tech on it including a
  • 00:12:11
    heads up display got this huge
  • 00:12:12
    entertainment screen which actually
  • 00:12:14
    prefer to the one in the Audi apart from
  • 00:12:16
    the fact that you don't have physical
  • 00:12:18
    climate control buttons and look gimmick
  • 00:12:21
    oh gimmick we can change the angle of it
  • 00:12:24
    terms of everything else to do with the
  • 00:12:26
    car quality of the materials is quite
  • 00:12:28
    similar to the KY really and the Audi it
  • 00:12:30
    doesn't feel
  • 00:12:31
    £10,000 less good than the Audi okay
  • 00:12:34
    here we are back in some Road works and
  • 00:12:36
    we're just clocked over 75 Mi and this
  • 00:12:39
    car is averaging
  • 00:12:41
    3.9 m per kwatt hour I have 73% of my
  • 00:12:45
    battery left which the car says is good
  • 00:12:47
    for 224 mil so Kia what are you doing
  • 00:12:51
    3.2 m per Kow hour 74% charge
  • 00:12:55
    26 mil remaining po Star 28 . 7 KW hours
  • 00:13:00
    per 100 Mil which equals 3.4 m per KW
  • 00:13:04
    hour 76% of my battery left 282 mil
  • 00:13:08
    Tesla 230 W hourss per mile which works
  • 00:13:11
    out at 4.3 m per kwatt hour my battery
  • 00:13:15
    is at 73% and my range is now projected
  • 00:13:18
    at 246 mil Porsche 3.5 m per KW hour 78%
  • 00:13:24
    of my battery left and an expected range
  • 00:13:26
    of 208 mil the Porsche is bizarrely low
  • 00:13:31
    and finally the Audi 3.4 m per KW hour
  • 00:13:35
    69% of my battery remaining I'm going to
  • 00:13:38
    do another 189
  • 00:13:41
    miles that's doing terrible I mean
  • 00:13:43
    considering the Audi is the same car
  • 00:13:45
    underneath the skin as this Ford
  • 00:13:47
    Explorer his projected range is way off
  • 00:13:50
    I think things may change a little bit
  • 00:13:52
    the further we go but we'll have to wait
  • 00:13:54
    to find out look at this considerably
  • 00:13:57
    cheaper than the Audi yet 360° cameras
  • 00:14:01
    and I still that
  • 00:14:03
    up even though the Ford Explorer is
  • 00:14:05
    based on the Volkswagen id4 it does look
  • 00:14:08
    a lot better but that's mainly because
  • 00:14:09
    the id4 is such a terrible design I do
  • 00:14:12
    prefer the look of the Audi than this
  • 00:14:14
    and the Kia ev6 as well but it's all
  • 00:14:17
    right hair in the back knee room's good
  • 00:14:19
    head room it's good now I personally
  • 00:14:20
    find it a bit more comfy to sit in than
  • 00:14:22
    the Kia mainly because this seat seems a
  • 00:14:24
    little bit higher off the floor though
  • 00:14:26
    you can't recline the seat backs like
  • 00:14:28
    you can in the Kia then as with the
  • 00:14:29
    other cars I've tested so far flat floor
  • 00:14:31
    so plenty of foot space there you can
  • 00:14:32
    just squeeze your toes underneath the
  • 00:14:34
    seats in front I actually think I'd
  • 00:14:35
    rather go a distance in the back of this
  • 00:14:37
    than the Kia now for the boot test we've
  • 00:14:39
    got capacity of
  • 00:14:41
    470 L I would like to lower this false
  • 00:14:45
    floor for you guys but I can't because
  • 00:14:47
    the cables are in there it's a shame
  • 00:14:49
    though look unlike with the Audi we have
  • 00:14:51
    a soft Low cover so that might actually
  • 00:14:53
    help you out in terms of
  • 00:14:58
    space I think we could be on prepare
  • 00:15:01
    prepare
  • 00:15:02
    prepare scream if it
  • 00:15:07
    hurts hello in
  • 00:15:13
    there I'm so
  • 00:15:17
    sorry sorry I've been more
  • 00:15:20
    comfortable
  • 00:15:23
    sorry oh dear
  • 00:15:30
    oh sorry but this was a Saving Grace
  • 00:15:33
    wasn't it yeah that was bad are you all
  • 00:15:35
    right yeah I'm fine here at trial
  • 00:15:37
    Services we have one two three DC fast
  • 00:15:41
    Chargers though I say fast they are in
  • 00:15:44
    fact just 50 KW and there are uh one
  • 00:15:48
    chademo and two real slow Chargers over
  • 00:15:51
    there as well I've now jumped into the
  • 00:15:52
    poar 4 the poar range is a bit confusing
  • 00:15:55
    range starts with the pul star 2 at the
  • 00:15:58
    top of the range is the P star 3 and
  • 00:16:00
    this pul star 4 sits somewhere in the
  • 00:16:03
    middle makes no sense the starting price
  • 00:16:05
    of the Pulstar 4 is just under £60,000
  • 00:16:07
    now this one is actually about £64,000
  • 00:16:10
    it's the entry level car just got some
  • 00:16:12
    extra bits and pieces on it like 21 in
  • 00:16:14
    alloy wheels and this interior knit is
  • 00:16:17
    quite nice now in terms of equipment it
  • 00:16:20
    comes fully loaded so we've got things
  • 00:16:22
    like heads up display we got this
  • 00:16:23
    amazingly huge entertainment system that
  • 00:16:26
    runs Android so you don't really need to
  • 00:16:28
    Tey your phone to to it you can just use
  • 00:16:29
    that system and as of course youve got
  • 00:16:31
    an iPhone can you actually do apple
  • 00:16:33
    carplay on it yes yes you can apparently
  • 00:16:36
    so don't worry about that is a bit
  • 00:16:38
    annoying that you have to do the climate
  • 00:16:40
    through the screen but it's got this
  • 00:16:42
    panel down here with all the key climate
  • 00:16:43
    buttons on it but if you want to do the
  • 00:16:45
    fan speed you do have to toggle into
  • 00:16:46
    that terms of the interior design by far
  • 00:16:48
    in a way this is the nicest car to sit
  • 00:16:50
    in in terms of the drive yeah it feels
  • 00:16:52
    pretty sophisticated and expensive right
  • 00:16:54
    up there with the Audi in terms of
  • 00:16:56
    comfort and noise levels pretty much the
  • 00:16:58
    same money as the Audi why would you
  • 00:17:00
    have the Audi over this we got a bigger
  • 00:17:02
    battery 94 KW hours we got similar power
  • 00:17:05
    once again single motor driving the back
  • 00:17:07
    wheels 272 horsepower n 60 7.1 seconds
  • 00:17:11
    and it feels pretty much as responsive
  • 00:17:13
    as the Audi look we're going to tick
  • 00:17:15
    over to 100
  • 00:17:17
    miles there we go this car is averaging
  • 00:17:20
    29 kows per 100 Mil which works out to
  • 00:17:23
    about 3.4 m per kwatt hour I have 68% of
  • 00:17:27
    the battery remaining and that gives me
  • 00:17:29
    a remaining range of
  • 00:17:31
    254 mil let's find out how the other
  • 00:17:34
    cars are doing so Kia what are your
  • 00:17:35
    numbers 3.3 m per KW 65% 180 M range
  • 00:17:41
    left Audi how about you 3.4 m per KW
  • 00:17:45
    hour 60% of my battery remaining
  • 00:17:48
    174 mil well so far Porsche 3.5 m per
  • 00:17:53
    Kow hour I have 71% of my battery left
  • 00:17:56
    188 mil it's not great either but I
  • 00:17:59
    think it's going to go further than that
  • 00:18:01
    Tesla 4.3 m per kwatt hour I am at 64%
  • 00:18:06
    and wonderly I'm down to 219 M and
  • 00:18:09
    finally the Ford 3.9 m per KW hour 64%
  • 00:18:13
    of my battery left 195 mil what's the
  • 00:18:16
    scoda doing
  • 00:18:18
    46.9 m to the gallon 450 M remaining I
  • 00:18:23
    want to see if the scoda can go all the
  • 00:18:25
    way to where these run out and all the
  • 00:18:27
    way back to the services we started from
  • 00:18:29
    all on one tank oh yeah this one has all
  • 00:18:32
    the kit once again 360° View Camera but
  • 00:18:35
    better definition and bigger than
  • 00:18:37
    anything else I've driven so far this is
  • 00:18:40
    nice this pul star is by far and away
  • 00:18:42
    the best looking I can even forgive it
  • 00:18:45
    slightly funky rear end there in the
  • 00:18:46
    back knee room is really good head room
  • 00:18:49
    that's fairly decent I do like the fact
  • 00:18:51
    that you get this full length glass roof
  • 00:18:54
    one slight issue I have is that while
  • 00:18:56
    the flooor is completely flat with a
  • 00:18:58
    decent am of foot space these seats are
  • 00:19:00
    very close to the floor because of all
  • 00:19:02
    the batteries underneath there so
  • 00:19:04
    there's not so much under thigh support
  • 00:19:06
    and you can't really slide your feet
  • 00:19:07
    underneath the chair in front though the
  • 00:19:09
    seat base is quite deep so you can sort
  • 00:19:11
    of go a little bit side saddle and if
  • 00:19:13
    you want to get a bit more comfy look at
  • 00:19:17
    this if I press this button here and the
  • 00:19:19
    one on the other side I can recline the
  • 00:19:25
    seatbacks I mean really does feel quite
  • 00:19:27
    luxurious in here yeah now let's check
  • 00:19:29
    out the boot we have 526 L of space
  • 00:19:32
    pretty big and you've got underfloor
  • 00:19:34
    storage here and a big bin there for
  • 00:19:36
    your cables which means oh if I push
  • 00:19:39
    that look I can lower this down to give
  • 00:19:41
    more room for you guys so go on
  • 00:19:44
    Jack I think this is going to work come
  • 00:19:46
    on Jamie come
  • 00:19:48
    on look I'm not going to touch it oh I
  • 00:19:51
    wonder if
  • 00:19:53
    that cover's going to
  • 00:19:57
    just yes
  • 00:19:59
    it did it hey right you guys stay there
  • 00:20:03
    got to show you something else because
  • 00:20:04
    they thought about this pul star have
  • 00:20:06
    unlike with cars from the VW group look
  • 00:20:08
    we have a little bit of storage into
  • 00:20:13
    here now my is not fitting in there no
  • 00:20:16
    that's that's as good as it gets I think
  • 00:20:18
    I better release the guys see how
  • 00:20:19
    they're doing let's have a
  • 00:20:23
    look hi what's that like more
  • 00:20:25
    comfortable than the Ford I've got a
  • 00:20:27
    question for you what happens if Jack
  • 00:20:29
    farts I file a complaint with
  • 00:20:31
    h that's if you're still alive well we
  • 00:20:34
    finally found a service station with
  • 00:20:35
    some decent DC electric charges and
  • 00:20:37
    these are fast Chargers there are six of
  • 00:20:39
    them here and they can do up to 180 KW
  • 00:20:43
    there's three other DC Chargers over
  • 00:20:44
    there but they're only 40 Kow but
  • 00:20:46
    there's plenty well it appears to be
  • 00:20:47
    plenty for the amount of electric cars
  • 00:20:49
    here anyway if you're changing your car
  • 00:20:51
    then you got to check out car wag
  • 00:20:52
    because there's nothing quite like
  • 00:20:53
    knowing that you're getting a great
  • 00:20:54
    price both when selling your old car and
  • 00:20:56
    finding a new one car makes all the the
  • 00:20:58
    stuff that's hard work about car
  • 00:21:01
    changing like the haggling the no
  • 00:21:04
    shows and the nasty surprises a thing of
  • 00:21:09
    the past life changing now if you want
  • 00:21:11
    to go to car while right now I'll put a
  • 00:21:13
    link in the description of this video
  • 00:21:15
    and the Ping comment alternatively you
  • 00:21:16
    can click on the pop out Banner
  • 00:21:17
    appearing in the top right hand cor the
  • 00:21:19
    screen now or scan the QR code on screen
  • 00:21:21
    using your mobile phone to go directly
  • 00:21:23
    there car change car wow now while I do
  • 00:21:27
    think it's a bit of a pain that
  • 00:21:28
    everything with the Tesla has to pretty
  • 00:21:30
    much be done through this screen at
  • 00:21:32
    least they do lean into that and make
  • 00:21:34
    full benefit of the fact that there's no
  • 00:21:36
    real buttons elsewhere in the car it's
  • 00:21:38
    just a nice clean open space and people
  • 00:21:42
    do complain about the quality of Teslas
  • 00:21:44
    but actually I think it feels bad all
  • 00:21:47
    the materials that you touch are soft
  • 00:21:48
    and squidy even down on the door bins as
  • 00:21:51
    well there's less scratchy Plastics in
  • 00:21:53
    this and you'll find in the A and this
  • 00:21:56
    is considerably less expensive so it
  • 00:21:57
    starts from $47 ,000 this one though has
  • 00:22:00
    a very top level of cruise control and
  • 00:22:02
    that's a £6,000 option now it'll do
  • 00:22:04
    things like stop you at traffic lights
  • 00:22:06
    in town but you don't need any of that
  • 00:22:08
    the basic system that you get a standard
  • 00:22:10
    with this car that's all you need now
  • 00:22:12
    the infotainment system does have an
  • 00:22:13
    issue that you can't plug your phone
  • 00:22:15
    into it there's no apple carplay no
  • 00:22:16
    Android auto you have to use Tesla
  • 00:22:19
    system and it's quite complicated with
  • 00:22:21
    lots of different features in these
  • 00:22:22
    different menus but when you've been
  • 00:22:24
    with the car for a while you do learn it
  • 00:22:26
    and it is okay and if you want to change
  • 00:22:28
    the temperature obviously you have to go
  • 00:22:29
    into the air conditioning menu and then
  • 00:22:31
    look down a little bit also this is by
  • 00:22:33
    far in away the sportiest car that I've
  • 00:22:35
    driven so far part of the reason for
  • 00:22:37
    that is the performance that you've got
  • 00:22:38
    so this is the entry level single motor
  • 00:22:40
    rear wheel drive car 352 horsepower Nord
  • 00:22:43
    60 in a respectable 5.7 seconds but
  • 00:22:46
    there is one Element to this car's
  • 00:22:47
    Driving Experience which could put you
  • 00:22:49
    off that's the fact that the suspension
  • 00:22:50
    is a little bit overly firm fine when
  • 00:22:53
    you're on the motorway but when you're
  • 00:22:54
    on a bumpy road it can have you bouncing
  • 00:22:56
    about a little bit too much also with
  • 00:22:58
    the Tesla you get so much Tech so like
  • 00:23:01
    with the Kia look put on the indicator
  • 00:23:04
    and you get that blind spot but with the
  • 00:23:05
    KY you have to go for the top speec car
  • 00:23:07
    whereas with a Tesla standard this Tesla
  • 00:23:09
    is my second favorite car to drive so
  • 00:23:11
    far after the pole star but when you're
  • 00:23:13
    considering the price you can see why so
  • 00:23:15
    many people buy this Tesla Model y right
  • 00:23:18
    let's just do a quick battery level
  • 00:23:20
    check in so the Tesla is averaging 23.9
  • 00:23:23
    W hours per mile which do the
  • 00:23:24
    calculations is 4.2 m per kwatt hour
  • 00:23:28
    we've got 53% of the battery remaining
  • 00:23:30
    which is good for 173 mil let's check in
  • 00:23:34
    with the other cars Kia what are your
  • 00:23:36
    numbers I've got 3.4 m per Kow hour
  • 00:23:40
    54% 147 M of range how about the Audi
  • 00:23:45
    3.5 m per kwatt hour 47% of battery 139
  • 00:23:51
    more miles that looks like the AUD is
  • 00:23:52
    going to run out first what about the
  • 00:23:54
    pole star 3.5 m per KW hour 58% battery
  • 00:23:59
    left 218 M of range and the Ford
  • 00:24:02
    Explorer 4 m per KW 53% of my battery
  • 00:24:06
    left 169 M and finally then the Porsche
  • 00:24:10
    3.6 m per KW hour 62% battery 63 mil
  • 00:24:15
    right that is utterly wrong obviously if
  • 00:24:18
    you do the maths on its energy
  • 00:24:20
    consumption and the remaining battery of
  • 00:24:22
    the size of its battery it should go
  • 00:24:23
    much further than that I think I know
  • 00:24:26
    the problem with the Porsche that would
  • 00:24:27
    have been driven by journalists and they
  • 00:24:28
    just been hooning it around so their
  • 00:24:30
    energy consumption would have been awful
  • 00:24:32
    and it's still calculating the range
  • 00:24:34
    based on that historic data we'll find
  • 00:24:36
    out exactly what happens a little later
  • 00:24:38
    on now look at this we don't have
  • 00:24:40
    surround view cameras but we do have
  • 00:24:41
    these extra little views here and that
  • 00:24:43
    does help as well so you sort of got
  • 00:24:46
    your bird's eye view the biggest problem
  • 00:24:48
    for me with the Tesla Model white is the
  • 00:24:49
    way it looks I know it's very similar to
  • 00:24:51
    the model 3 but somehow it just looks
  • 00:24:53
    wrong and distended I am not a fan well
  • 00:24:57
    I can't thought about the model y though
  • 00:24:58
    is just how roomy it is here in the back
  • 00:25:00
    loads of knee room head room's good and
  • 00:25:03
    you get the glass roofer standard the
  • 00:25:04
    seats are decent distance from the floor
  • 00:25:07
    and there's loads of foot space and you
  • 00:25:08
    can slide your feet underneath the seats
  • 00:25:10
    in front cuz they're jacked up and do
  • 00:25:12
    you know what this seat back while you
  • 00:25:14
    can't move it it is nicely reclined
  • 00:25:16
    there is one small problem this bit here
  • 00:25:20
    it's actually fine for how I sit
  • 00:25:21
    normally but if you want to put your
  • 00:25:22
    head back and if you're tall you are
  • 00:25:24
    going to hit your head on that part
  • 00:25:25
    there but it is the most practical car
  • 00:25:27
    here so far and that extends to the boot
  • 00:25:29
    as well in here you have a whopping 850
  • 00:25:33
    L of space a lot of that is underneath
  • 00:25:35
    there where you keep all your cables and
  • 00:25:37
    some more storage underneath here you
  • 00:25:39
    have a lad cover which is a firm Low
  • 00:25:43
    cover so I'm not sure how this is going
  • 00:25:44
    to work for you guys because in theory
  • 00:25:47
    should both fit in there but let's
  • 00:25:49
    see and I'll deal with this for you
  • 00:25:52
    there we go get yourself comfy oh you're
  • 00:25:53
    going to do it no problem it's good look
  • 00:25:55
    and you know what this is this is no
  • 00:25:57
    problem at all so if you can shut un
  • 00:25:59
    assisted watch your bottom
  • 00:26:02
    oh there we go just a little bit of
  • 00:26:05
    assistance so before we let them out
  • 00:26:08
    there really is a good amount of space
  • 00:26:11
    here underneath the bonnet look look at
  • 00:26:13
    this massive absolutely massive could
  • 00:26:17
    take a bath in here anyway better let
  • 00:26:19
    them out and see what it's like for them
  • 00:26:20
    in that boot for their final
  • 00:26:24
    verdict Jamie what's it like in there
  • 00:26:26
    it's all right actually yeah
  • 00:26:29
    I've got a foot well okay is it better
  • 00:26:31
    yeah best so far Jack uh I'm not the
  • 00:26:35
    most comfortable okay all
  • 00:26:39
    righted come on then load C I'm
  • 00:26:44
    sorry right thank you very much finally
  • 00:26:46
    we've come to a service station with a
  • 00:26:48
    decent amount of electric Chargers so
  • 00:26:50
    we're at ferry bridge near Wakefield we
  • 00:26:52
    have 12 fast Chargers so these go up to
  • 00:26:55
    350 KW which is pretty impressive you've
  • 00:26:58
    also got a whole bunch of Tesla
  • 00:26:59
    superchargers over there and if
  • 00:27:01
    everything else is for there are some
  • 00:27:03
    emergency 50 KW charges over there but
  • 00:27:06
    if you can get a space here you're going
  • 00:27:07
    to take it the Maan is definitely my
  • 00:27:09
    favorite looking of these electric cars
  • 00:27:11
    the front end is really cool I love this
  • 00:27:14
    blue paint Scheme and the fact you get
  • 00:27:16
    blue elements in the headlights
  • 00:27:17
    definitely the best looking out of all
  • 00:27:19
    of them followed by the pole star here
  • 00:27:21
    in the back knee room is all right head
  • 00:27:23
    room with this panoramic glass roof
  • 00:27:25
    which obviously is an optional extra is
  • 00:27:28
    all right but I think for people over 64
  • 00:27:30
    it might get a little bit snug in terms
  • 00:27:32
    of head room the seat backs are quite
  • 00:27:34
    upright do you know there's something
  • 00:27:36
    slightly tight about the feeling here in
  • 00:27:39
    the back maybe it's the foot well isn't
  • 00:27:41
    particularly spacious compared to the
  • 00:27:42
    other cars though you can just about
  • 00:27:44
    slide your feet underneath the chairs in
  • 00:27:46
    front I think out of all the cars it is
  • 00:27:48
    the least spacious in the back you can
  • 00:27:50
    also get dual zone climate control in
  • 00:27:51
    the rear though of course that's an
  • 00:27:52
    optional extra and you got two USB C's
  • 00:27:54
    there the low capacity is 540 L which is
  • 00:27:57
    the second largest here after the Tesla
  • 00:27:59
    let's see how usable it actually is so
  • 00:28:01
    underneath here we have the bow sound
  • 00:28:03
    system so we probably haven't got the
  • 00:28:04
    full 540 l in this car once again that's
  • 00:28:07
    an optional extra let's see how
  • 00:28:09
    practical it is when it comes to
  • 00:28:10
    carrying men so men do you think we
  • 00:28:13
    obviously have a hard loc of I don't
  • 00:28:15
    know how that's going to work out for
  • 00:28:20
    you um by mik no are you ready should we
  • 00:28:25
    give it a go I might give it some
  • 00:28:26
    assistant it's going to need it cuz
  • 00:28:27
    you're B like poking
  • 00:28:30
    out no even even with me doing that it's
  • 00:28:34
    not happening is it no youve had a lucky
  • 00:28:36
    Escape let me go check out the um front
  • 00:28:38
    boot cuz there is one on this car who
  • 00:28:41
    almost chin me actually it's a decent
  • 00:28:43
    amount of space look you can see you got
  • 00:28:45
    the cable in
  • 00:28:47
    there can I yes look I can fit in here
  • 00:28:51
    with my snake like hips as you can see
  • 00:28:53
    this is a leftand drive car because it's
  • 00:28:55
    come over from Germany we haven't got
  • 00:28:56
    them in the UK just yet but boy if you
  • 00:28:59
    spec this up like for like with the UK
  • 00:29:01
    car on the configurator
  • 00:29:03
    94,000 this car reason being it's got
  • 00:29:05
    over £25,000 worth of option the entry
  • 00:29:08
    level price of the car like basic is
  • 00:29:11
    £68,000 more expensive than the pole
  • 00:29:13
    star that's without any kit on it if you
  • 00:29:15
    want the headsup display which is lovely
  • 00:29:17
    and it can even like show you if you're
  • 00:29:18
    starting to weave out of your lane you
  • 00:29:20
    have to pay extra for that if you want
  • 00:29:21
    this particular steering wheel that's an
  • 00:29:23
    extra if you want all this kind of LED
  • 00:29:25
    lighting that's extra if you want this
  • 00:29:27
    lovely headlining that's extra if you
  • 00:29:29
    want that extra screen there that's
  • 00:29:30
    extra and of course you're paying for
  • 00:29:32
    that Porsche tax as well just for the
  • 00:29:33
    Porsche badge all that said it does feel
  • 00:29:36
    lovely however the entry level car gets
  • 00:29:38
    a 340 horsepower rear drive motor which
  • 00:29:41
    gives you 360 horsepower when you launch
  • 00:29:43
    it and that's why it's the quickest from
  • 00:29:45
    0 to 60 it's not to 60 in 5.4 seconds
  • 00:29:47
    and it does feel pretty responsive it
  • 00:29:49
    also feels the most responsive to drive
  • 00:29:52
    the steering is just very very reactive
  • 00:29:54
    but not kind of Lighty in the same way
  • 00:29:56
    that the Tesla is this particular car
  • 00:29:57
    does does have the optional rear axle
  • 00:29:59
    steering which does make it steer a
  • 00:30:01
    little bit quicker but in terms of
  • 00:30:02
    handling this is the best car and it
  • 00:30:05
    rides the best as well because it is
  • 00:30:06
    fitted with air suspension which of
  • 00:30:08
    course is another option I don't think
  • 00:30:10
    it's a massive improvement over that pul
  • 00:30:13
    star it does run it close to Pulstar and
  • 00:30:15
    that cares a lot better value in terms
  • 00:30:17
    of how things feel though like the
  • 00:30:19
    indicators and the noise from the
  • 00:30:22
    indicator has a touch of quality to it
  • 00:30:25
    soft touch all the way down here feels
  • 00:30:27
    solid as well we've got climate control
  • 00:30:30
    buttons which are separate to the
  • 00:30:31
    infotainment system the screen itself is
  • 00:30:34
    really really high definition it's quite
  • 00:30:35
    easy to navigate as well overall this
  • 00:30:37
    car has the nicest interior so look at
  • 00:30:39
    this the Sun is going down and about to
  • 00:30:42
    hit 200 miles so here in the Porsche I
  • 00:30:45
    am averaging 3.5 m per kwatt hour I've
  • 00:30:49
    got 39% of the battery remaining and the
  • 00:30:52
    car is telling me I've got 102 M of
  • 00:30:54
    range left though I think it's a little
  • 00:30:56
    bit more let's check out the other car
  • 00:30:58
    Audi I am doing 3.5 m per KW hour 22% of
  • 00:31:03
    my battery remaining further 64 mil how
  • 00:31:06
    about the Kia 3.3 m per KW 29% battery
  • 00:31:11
    another 78 M how about the Ford the Ford
  • 00:31:15
    is averaging 3.9 m per KW hour I have
  • 00:31:18
    29% of my battery left which should take
  • 00:31:20
    me 85 M the Tesla 4 m per KW 30% battery
  • 00:31:26
    and that is saying a projected 9 23 mil
  • 00:31:29
    the poar hello poar 3.4 m per KW 38% of
  • 00:31:34
    my battery left 141 miles oo so the pole
  • 00:31:38
    star has the best range I've pulled over
  • 00:31:41
    cuz I've got a bit of a dilemma I need
  • 00:31:43
    to decide which car I think is going to
  • 00:31:45
    go the furthest overall is it going to
  • 00:31:46
    be the Porsche is it going to be the
  • 00:31:47
    pole star it's going to be close between
  • 00:31:49
    these two because they're very evenly
  • 00:31:50
    matched they are both consuming energy
  • 00:31:53
    at the same rate so this is doing 3.5 m
  • 00:31:55
    per Kow hour so is that they have
  • 00:31:57
    similar battery pack sizes this is a 95
  • 00:32:00
    kwh pack this is a 94 and they've got
  • 00:32:03
    similar amount to their batteries
  • 00:32:04
    remaining this is on 33% this is on 32
  • 00:32:07
    so I'm not sure which way it's going to
  • 00:32:09
    go now forget the remaining range
  • 00:32:11
    because that's a calculation I think is
  • 00:32:12
    slightly off of the Porsche but I've got
  • 00:32:14
    to decide right now which one I think is
  • 00:32:16
    going to go the furthest so which is it
  • 00:32:19
    I've gone for the pole sta now I'm not
  • 00:32:21
    sure if it's going to be the right
  • 00:32:22
    decision I guess we'll find out but if I
  • 00:32:24
    was going to be leasing one of these
  • 00:32:25
    cars choosing the pul start of the
  • 00:32:26
    Porsche would be the right thing to do
  • 00:32:28
    and here's why so carwow has just
  • 00:32:30
    launched its own leasing broker it's
  • 00:32:32
    called carwow leasy if I go on there I
  • 00:32:35
    can see that I can lease this very pul
  • 00:32:37
    star for
  • 00:32:38
    £440 excluding that and that's over 48
  • 00:32:41
    months and with 9 months down the
  • 00:32:43
    Porsche on the other hand is £700
  • 00:32:45
    excluding that once again over 48 months
  • 00:32:48
    and 9 months down and that's the Porsche
  • 00:32:50
    without all the options fitted to our
  • 00:32:51
    particular car so it actually work out
  • 00:32:53
    more and for that difference per month I
  • 00:32:55
    would definitely go for the pulse star
  • 00:32:58
    now if you want to check out car Lei
  • 00:32:59
    click on the pop out Banner appearing in
  • 00:33:01
    the top right hand corner of the screen
  • 00:33:02
    or if you're watching on Smart Tv scan
  • 00:33:04
    the QR code on screen now using your
  • 00:33:06
    mobile phone okay everyone let's have a
  • 00:33:08
    quick check in so I'm still averaging
  • 00:33:10
    3.5 m per kilowatt hour I've got 28% of
  • 00:33:13
    my battery remaining and it reckons I'm
  • 00:33:15
    going to do 105 miles what's happening
  • 00:33:18
    with the Kia I've got 3.4 m per KW hour
  • 00:33:22
    I've got 18% battery and it's saying I'm
  • 00:33:24
    going to do 45 miles are you going to
  • 00:33:26
    stick on this route for b or you going
  • 00:33:28
    to have to pull off I found a fast
  • 00:33:30
    charger about 43 M away so I think I'm
  • 00:33:33
    going to head there ooh that's going to
  • 00:33:35
    be fun anyway Audi what about you my
  • 00:33:38
    battery warning has just come up at 30 m
  • 00:33:41
    of range I'm doing 3.5 m per Kow hour
  • 00:33:45
    11% battery left so you going to have to
  • 00:33:47
    get off pretty soon yes I'm going to
  • 00:33:49
    have to get off in 26 miles is what the
  • 00:33:52
    saav is saying all right how about the
  • 00:33:54
    Ford Explorer averaging 3.8 m per Kow
  • 00:33:57
    hour I have got 18% of my battery left
  • 00:34:00
    which works out to a nice round 50 m
  • 00:34:02
    well and how about the Tesla Tesla sat
  • 00:34:05
    at
  • 00:34:05
    247 watts per mile that is bang on 4 mil
  • 00:34:10
    per kwatt hour and worryingly I have a
  • 00:34:13
    petrol station logged in at 52 Mi and a
  • 00:34:15
    range of 57 mil so we'll see how that
  • 00:34:17
    goes and that is a battery level of 18%
  • 00:34:20
    it'd probably be better off going to a
  • 00:34:21
    charging Point rather than a petrol
  • 00:34:22
    station but maybe he means a charging
  • 00:34:25
    Point finally then the Porsche my main
  • 00:34:27
    compe edor 3.5 m per KW hour it has 27%
  • 00:34:32
    of it battery left should go 69 M I
  • 00:34:36
    don't believe that cuz I'm on exactly
  • 00:34:37
    the same figures and I've got 99 miles
  • 00:34:40
    can we have a checkin from the scoda
  • 00:34:42
    please 47 mil to the gallon 310 M of
  • 00:34:46
    range remaining you just turn around and
  • 00:34:48
    go back stop for a break showing size of
  • 00:34:51
    being tired yes I am it'sa I've just had
  • 00:34:54
    a warning uh to say I need to find a
  • 00:34:56
    charger I've got 10 % left but I'm going
  • 00:34:58
    to keep going that's the spirit I've got
  • 00:35:01
    plenty of charge remaining 22% hey guys
  • 00:35:04
    it's is Tesla here I'm at 11% battery
  • 00:35:06
    and I had my first warning high energy
  • 00:35:08
    consumption use navigation to estimate
  • 00:35:11
    battery level and ensure arrival hey
  • 00:35:14
    Matt it's the Audi here I'm currently
  • 00:35:15
    sitting at 6 miles of range and I've
  • 00:35:18
    only got 2% of battery so I am going to
  • 00:35:20
    have to come off at the next Junction oh
  • 00:35:22
    there he goes goodbye emotional one down
  • 00:35:27
    five to go
  • 00:35:28
    oh wait a minute I've just had a sign
  • 00:35:30
    flash up that says battery level low and
  • 00:35:31
    my battery meter's gone to an orange
  • 00:35:33
    color 19% remaining 72 Mi of range now
  • 00:35:37
    we are actually in a 60 so this reduced
  • 00:35:40
    speed may help it how's the Kia doing
  • 00:35:43
    charger I was planning to go to it's
  • 00:35:45
    about 12 M away and I've got 11 M of
  • 00:35:48
    range and 4% battery so I think I might
  • 00:35:52
    need to find another charger I've had a
  • 00:35:54
    new warning in the Ford the satav is
  • 00:35:57
    flashing up you can only reach One
  • 00:35:59
    charging station with your current
  • 00:36:00
    charge level do you want to charge there
  • 00:36:03
    news from the Porsche please check range
  • 00:36:05
    so I checked the range and it says 40
  • 00:36:07
    mil I do not know what else to do so
  • 00:36:10
    I've got 177% as well but mine's saying
  • 00:36:13
    64 mil it's 67 M to a fast charger so
  • 00:36:17
    I'm 3 m short Kia I'm just going to pass
  • 00:36:20
    you so you can go slow if you need to
  • 00:36:22
    just so you can try and crawl to that
  • 00:36:24
    charging station in 50 is definitely
  • 00:36:26
    helped it's saying 6 half miles away and
  • 00:36:28
    I've got six miles range so might need
  • 00:36:31
    to go a bit slower than that come on you
  • 00:36:32
    can do it Kia so everybody let's go just
  • 00:36:36
    at 40 no quicker I'm going to turn off
  • 00:36:38
    now I've got a power limited sign that's
  • 00:36:40
    just come up on the dash and I'm down to
  • 00:36:42
    0% battery but I should make it it's now
  • 00:36:45
    two down four to go it's the Ford here I
  • 00:36:48
    have 3% battery remaining which works
  • 00:36:50
    out at 9 M of range and I have just over
  • 00:36:53
    8 miles to go to get to my destination
  • 00:36:55
    so I'm going to have to peel off this
  • 00:36:56
    road very soon in about a mile and a
  • 00:36:58
    half I think Tesla you going to join him
  • 00:37:01
    my station is also in 8.3 miles but I've
  • 00:37:04
    been told to stay on the road and I get
  • 00:37:06
    to the station that way and I am at 4%
  • 00:37:09
    battery with 9 miles left one of us is
  • 00:37:12
    wrong Nick do you think you're both
  • 00:37:14
    going to the same charger will it be
  • 00:37:15
    whoever gets there first if so I think
  • 00:37:17
    that might be Sam because I've just had
  • 00:37:19
    a warning that says performance
  • 00:37:20
    restricted consults the owner's manual
  • 00:37:22
    well no time for that cuz I've got to
  • 00:37:24
    turn off there he goes goodbye Ford face
  • 00:37:28
    and it just like swerved down there how
  • 00:37:30
    long till you have to pull off in the
  • 00:37:31
    Tesla 6 miles I have got 6.1 mil of
  • 00:37:36
    range less at 3% battery oh wait I've
  • 00:37:39
    got a call I've got a call hello hello
  • 00:37:41
    hello so this is sec4 what's happened
  • 00:37:45
    the car only let me use 25% of its power
  • 00:37:49
    once I hit 0 miles and 0% I finally ran
  • 00:37:52
    out of charge the car came to a stop I
  • 00:37:54
    then turned it off and then turned it on
  • 00:37:56
    again and it let me move it at 4 M hour
  • 00:37:59
    and then literally as I got to the
  • 00:38:00
    charger it just peted out and completely
  • 00:38:02
    died at 267 M how far did it go after it
  • 00:38:08
    said there was no battery left it only
  • 00:38:10
    actually did three more miles and what
  • 00:38:13
    percent as it's done of its claimed
  • 00:38:15
    mileage supposed to do 336 mil but it's
  • 00:38:18
    only done 79% of its claimed range
  • 00:38:22
    brilliant oh and thank you very much
  • 00:38:24
    Tesla here I'm going to have to peel off
  • 00:38:26
    I've got a .5 miles in range good luck
  • 00:38:29
    to everybody okay Porsche it's just the
  • 00:38:32
    two of us now I've got 9% of my battery
  • 00:38:34
    remaining it says I've got 32 Mi I've
  • 00:38:36
    got 35 mil to the charging point I want
  • 00:38:39
    to reach in Scotland what's your car
  • 00:38:41
    saying the POR is saying has 7% battery
  • 00:38:44
    12 miles of range and I think the
  • 00:38:46
    charger I need to go to is about 10 mil
  • 00:38:49
    away the problem is the next one on from
  • 00:38:51
    that is quite away on a duel Carriage
  • 00:38:53
    race so I am going to be peeling off I
  • 00:38:55
    think at this point What's your effic
  • 00:38:57
    icy though still doing 3.5 m per Kow
  • 00:39:00
    hour at the moment so if you're doing
  • 00:39:01
    3.5 m per kwatt hour you got 7% of your
  • 00:39:04
    battery and you got a 95 kwh usable
  • 00:39:07
    battery surely be able to go further
  • 00:39:09
    than 12 miles probably can it's just I
  • 00:39:12
    don't know how much oh hello it's a call
  • 00:39:14
    from Sam in the Tesla hey Sam have you
  • 00:39:16
    run out of charge to be fair to Tesla I
  • 00:39:19
    didn't want to do it Injustice so when I
  • 00:39:21
    got to the charge station I had 5 miles
  • 00:39:23
    left there was a side road that I went
  • 00:39:25
    driving around a little bit and
  • 00:39:26
    eventually it got down you can no longer
  • 00:39:28
    go any further so I turned round to head
  • 00:39:30
    back to the charging station I got right
  • 00:39:32
    next to the pump pulled forward to
  • 00:39:34
    reverse back and it cut out
  • 00:39:39
    oh oh no so then I'm blocking the road
  • 00:39:42
    and all my fellow teser tonians I
  • 00:39:44
    Googled how to put it into toe mode and
  • 00:39:46
    then a fellow tonian helped me push it
  • 00:39:48
    back this is me enjoying Tesla ownership
  • 00:39:53
    and now I'm sat here it's already got
  • 00:39:54
    112 mil in the tank so yeah electric
  • 00:39:56
    cars are just am amazing aren't they I
  • 00:39:58
    love the way you call it the pump and
  • 00:39:59
    the tank such a petrol head quick
  • 00:40:02
    question how far did you go in total
  • 00:40:06
    294 miles and how far did it go after it
  • 00:40:09
    said it had no miles remaining about
  • 00:40:12
    seven okay so quite a lot how far was
  • 00:40:15
    your car supposed to G to full charge so
  • 00:40:16
    apparently they're supposed to do 373
  • 00:40:19
    miles so that means you've done about
  • 00:40:20
    like 79% of the claimed range yeah it's
  • 00:40:23
    not great is it and what about the
  • 00:40:24
    efficiency overall 3.8 m per Kow hour
  • 00:40:28
    I'll leave you to charge up a little bit
  • 00:40:29
    more and I'm going to see how far I can
  • 00:40:30
    go see you later Hey Porsche how you
  • 00:40:32
    doing I want 7% battery and 24 miles of
  • 00:40:35
    range 30 m to go to my charging station
  • 00:40:38
    I am on 5% battery 5 miles of range as I
  • 00:40:42
    hit 5% battery I had another warning
  • 00:40:44
    come up the infamous torus and drive
  • 00:40:46
    power reduced I am going to have to turn
  • 00:40:48
    right at the next roundabout and leave
  • 00:40:50
    you afraid I'm going to turn right and
  • 00:40:51
    you're turning left so this is goodbye
  • 00:40:53
    that's the end of the porch you're not
  • 00:40:55
    going to make it to Scotland then I
  • 00:40:57
    think this pul star is the only car
  • 00:40:58
    that's going to do it can see him in my
  • 00:41:00
    mirror goodbye Porsche goodbye good news
  • 00:41:04
    I've made it to Scotland heay look
  • 00:41:06
    there's a sign for Edinburgh as well not
  • 00:41:08
    going to be making Edinburgh do you know
  • 00:41:10
    what this road is familiar in fact this
  • 00:41:12
    very Point here is familiar because I
  • 00:41:14
    actually conked out in another car in a
  • 00:41:17
    different EV range test if you want to
  • 00:41:19
    see what that car is click on the pop
  • 00:41:21
    out Banner pring in the top right hand
  • 00:41:22
    corner of the screen or follow the QR
  • 00:41:24
    code on screen now okay so I've got a
  • 00:41:27
    plan I know that the fast charger is
  • 00:41:30
    back there in that town I've got 9 mies
  • 00:41:33
    of range 3% battery what I'm going to do
  • 00:41:36
    is turn around in this Village and head
  • 00:41:38
    back to that charger and play it safe
  • 00:41:41
    see if I can loop back on myself this is
  • 00:41:42
    tight blim me is this right this is
  • 00:41:45
    interesting be terrible if I run out of
  • 00:41:47
    electricity here be rather awkward I
  • 00:41:50
    think it must be this way oh this is
  • 00:41:51
    tight and then down here and I should be
  • 00:41:54
    able to go back on myself oh hello phone
  • 00:41:56
    call hey Matt it's James and ikia I
  • 00:41:58
    finally ran out of charge pulled off the
  • 00:42:01
    A1 with about 0% battery I made it to
  • 00:42:04
    the charger and then I probably drive
  • 00:42:07
    around for like another 10 miles limited
  • 00:42:10
    to 20 mph for a bit and then it wouldn't
  • 00:42:13
    go any faster than five so I was
  • 00:42:15
    literally reversing in and out of the
  • 00:42:17
    charging spot before it eventually ConEd
  • 00:42:19
    out yeah so just con out stopped driving
  • 00:42:23
    the car but you could roll it yeah how
  • 00:42:25
    many miles did you do in total I did 280
  • 00:42:28
    exactly less than the Tesla but more
  • 00:42:31
    than the Audi now what was it supposed
  • 00:42:33
    to do the Kia was supposed to do
  • 00:42:35
    347 mil which is about 81% I averaged
  • 00:42:38
    about 3.4 m per Kow hour across the
  • 00:42:41
    whole trip so not too bad but not
  • 00:42:44
    brilliant either anyway I'm going to
  • 00:42:45
    keep going I've got 2% battery and 6
  • 00:42:47
    miles of range left all right cheers
  • 00:42:49
    mate bye oh look another phone call
  • 00:42:52
    hello it's Rory in the Porsche we have
  • 00:42:55
    finally come to a stop got a bit B
  • 00:42:57
    driving around the slow road so I
  • 00:42:59
    ventured back onto the A1 uh where there
  • 00:43:01
    sort of a half a mile stretch before you
  • 00:43:03
    could turn back on yourself it was
  • 00:43:05
    getting slow and slow it could barely
  • 00:43:06
    get up to sort of 40 mph and luckily
  • 00:43:09
    just as I was coming on the backstretch
  • 00:43:10
    back into town I got a massive red
  • 00:43:12
    warning saying only maneuvering was
  • 00:43:15
    possible and as I rolled into the
  • 00:43:17
    McDonald's with the charges it couldn't
  • 00:43:19
    go up the hill and then I was just stuck
  • 00:43:21
    on the hill however put my hazards on
  • 00:43:23
    turned the car off turn it back on again
  • 00:43:26
    uh found some power and I just managed
  • 00:43:28
    to creep down into the car park it then
  • 00:43:30
    ConEd out again I switched it off on
  • 00:43:32
    again and then it just had enough power
  • 00:43:34
    to roll itself into the bay but I've
  • 00:43:36
    tried moving it again now and it won't
  • 00:43:38
    go but I'm actually at the charger and
  • 00:43:39
    the charger reaches so it's happy days
  • 00:43:41
    for me but yeah B an interesting one oh
  • 00:43:44
    well done so how many miles have you
  • 00:43:46
    done in total
  • 00:43:48
    38.1 miles only done 3.1 miles after %
  • 00:43:53
    but the interesting thing is you would
  • 00:43:54
    have made it to Scotland cuz I've done
  • 00:43:56
    320 miles and I've gone past the charger
  • 00:43:59
    more than like 5 miles ago I'm now
  • 00:44:01
    coming back to it so you could have made
  • 00:44:03
    Scotland you know I said I went up the
  • 00:44:04
    A1 a bit I did make it 500
  • 00:44:08
    me and then I turned around and came
  • 00:44:10
    back to England and I went back to
  • 00:44:12
    Scotland again about
  • 00:44:13
    four England again oh well done
  • 00:44:16
    38.1 that is the best so far apart from
  • 00:44:20
    me cuz I'm not 320 and I'm still going
  • 00:44:22
    so what was your claimed range I think
  • 00:44:25
    you were supposed to be 380 6 mil I
  • 00:44:28
    think that's 82% what was your energy
  • 00:44:30
    consumption over the whole journey 3.5 m
  • 00:44:32
    per Kow hours that's all right okay all
  • 00:44:35
    dear look 1% battery considered charging
  • 00:44:37
    I'm going to drive around for a bit oh
  • 00:44:39
    here we go another phone call it's the
  • 00:44:41
    last one so tell me what happened with
  • 00:44:42
    the Ford hit 0% still had one mile of
  • 00:44:46
    range which was a bit strange but it
  • 00:44:47
    carried on going for another 5 miles
  • 00:44:50
    after that most of which in maneuvering
  • 00:44:52
    only mode which limited it to 4 mph it
  • 00:44:55
    eventually died at
  • 00:44:58
    291 mil that has just been beaten by the
  • 00:45:02
    Tesla but you did beat the Audi and the
  • 00:45:05
    Kia so go on then what was the range
  • 00:45:07
    that your car was supposed to do so it's
  • 00:45:09
    supposed to do
  • 00:45:10
    374 miles which means I managed to do
  • 00:45:14
    78% of that which is not too bad among
  • 00:45:16
    the worst actually so far what was your
  • 00:45:19
    energy consumption 3.8 m per kilowatt
  • 00:45:22
    hour so that feels pretty good well I've
  • 00:45:24
    got 1% battery and 2 miles of range
  • 00:45:26
    remaining I'm still going I'm the only
  • 00:45:28
    one I am over 320 Mi this car has won
  • 00:45:32
    but we need to find out just how much
  • 00:45:34
    buy oh look no battery life left
  • 00:45:37
    remaining range 1 mile so that's at
  • 00:45:41
    324 pretty much not really getting much
  • 00:45:43
    in the way of warnings okay I think I'm
  • 00:45:46
    going to have to turn around here there
  • 00:45:47
    is a charger in there no way oh this
  • 00:45:50
    could be perfect right I'm going to keep
  • 00:45:52
    going for now I've got the safety of the
  • 00:45:54
    charger there let's see how much further
  • 00:45:56
    I can go come on car oh going slightly
  • 00:46:00
    uphill now and it's
  • 00:46:02
    struggling I'm hoping to sling shot
  • 00:46:05
    around this roundabout and get back on
  • 00:46:06
    this road again cuz I think this is my
  • 00:46:08
    last bit of
  • 00:46:11
    driving Go Bus do not pull out bus do
  • 00:46:14
    not pull out bus you definitely pulled
  • 00:46:16
    out a come
  • 00:46:18
    on oh I got dirted by the bus we're
  • 00:46:22
    going to do 330 Mi to at 328 oh I don't
  • 00:46:27
    know if I'm going to get back up this
  • 00:46:28
    hill can't go over 60 MPH up here I
  • 00:46:31
    think we're definitely going to make 330
  • 00:46:33
    maybe we can make
  • 00:46:35
    332 cuz that means I'd only be 40 m shy
  • 00:46:39
    of the claimed range for this car which
  • 00:46:41
    is 372 mil it can't possibly make it up
  • 00:46:46
    this hill again oh my foot is on the
  • 00:46:49
    floor the speed is holding up 15 if I
  • 00:46:54
    can just make it up here come on yes so
  • 00:46:57
    that's 40 Mi within the claimed range
  • 00:46:59
    next challenge is to get to
  • 00:47:02
    333 cuz if we can that is pretty much
  • 00:47:05
    90% of the claimed range no the traffic
  • 00:47:08
    please no the traffic bugger go go go go
  • 00:47:11
    go come on come on come on get round
  • 00:47:13
    don't slow down God you're going slower
  • 00:47:15
    than me Classic Honda Jazz driver
  • 00:47:19
    slingshot this is it don't stop here po
  • 00:47:21
    Star come on 3 32.9 get me to 333 come
  • 00:47:26
    on get me to 333 we're going Upper Hill
  • 00:47:29
    ah this hill could kill me less than 100
  • 00:47:32
    m we've got to do this then you've got
  • 00:47:34
    90% of your claimed range yes 33 three
  • 00:47:38
    90% of the claimed range whatever
  • 00:47:40
    happens now is a bonus oh no that I just
  • 00:47:44
    felt something it's just lost all power
  • 00:47:46
    we're at the top of the hill as well oh
  • 00:47:48
    come on oh there we go it is game over
  • 00:47:52
    car has stopped it's rolling back a bit
  • 00:47:54
    3 33.1 we got 28 8.1 KW per 100 m so
  • 00:47:59
    that is 3.5 m per kwatt hour we've done
  • 00:48:02
    90% of the claimed range I think it's
  • 00:48:04
    the clear winner in terms of range I
  • 00:48:06
    think it's the clear winner as well in
  • 00:48:07
    terms of what you're getting for your
  • 00:48:09
    money now it just need rescuing the good
  • 00:48:11
    news is it does actually roll so it can
  • 00:48:13
    be pushed we're not going to push it
  • 00:48:14
    though the RAC have a fleet of Vans
  • 00:48:15
    which equipped with AC charging and they
  • 00:48:17
    can charge up to 4 Kow so we'll get some
  • 00:48:19
    juice into this battery and I'll be able
  • 00:48:21
    to drive it down to that charger down
  • 00:48:22
    there so we charged up using the RAC for
  • 00:48:24
    about 10 minutes we've now got one mile
  • 00:48:26
    ranging even though it's saying battery
  • 00:48:27
    0% we should be good to go I think wait
  • 00:48:30
    are we actually good to go no we're not
  • 00:48:34
    it's rolling back don't understand I
  • 00:48:36
    proba feel going in
  • 00:48:38
    reverse no it's it's not got any power
  • 00:48:41
    that doesn't make any sense all right
  • 00:48:43
    let's keep
  • 00:48:44
    charging clearly I hadn't left it on
  • 00:48:47
    charge for long enough so after a few
  • 00:48:48
    more minutes plugged into the RAC van
  • 00:48:50
    the postar was able to drive to a nearby
  • 00:48:52
    charge point but how did its performance
  • 00:48:54
    compare to all the other cars in this
  • 00:48:56
    test well the pole star won it did 333
  • 00:48:59
    Mi which is 90% of its claimed range and
  • 00:49:01
    achieved 3.5 m per kwatt hour next was
  • 00:49:04
    the Porsche which did 318 Mi that's 82%
  • 00:49:07
    of its claimed range it also returned
  • 00:49:09
    3.5 m per kwatt hour in third place was
  • 00:49:12
    the Tesla which did 294 Mi that's 79% of
  • 00:49:15
    its claimed range it managed 3.8 m per
  • 00:49:18
    kwatt the Ford did 291 M which is 78% of
  • 00:49:22
    its claimed range and it achieved 3.8 m
  • 00:49:24
    per KW hour meanwhile the K did did 280
  • 00:49:27
    Mi that's 81% of its claimed range and
  • 00:49:30
    it did 3.4 m per KW last was the Audi it
  • 00:49:33
    did 268 mil which is 79% of its claimed
  • 00:49:36
    range and it managed 3.5 m per
  • 00:49:40
    KW but I haven't mentioned the scoda
  • 00:49:43
    camera car and that brings us onto costs
  • 00:49:45
    the Kodiak still had 205 Mi of range
  • 00:49:48
    remaining in its tank when the Pulstar
  • 00:49:50
    ran out of battery and its average
  • 00:49:51
    economy was 47.2 MP gallon but this
  • 00:49:54
    doesn't give you the full picture
  • 00:49:56
    because obviously we drove to Scotland
  • 00:49:58
    but we also needed to drive back and
  • 00:50:00
    when you calculate the full round trip
  • 00:50:02
    the scoda used £92 in diesel to drive
  • 00:50:05
    from a start point to where the pole
  • 00:50:07
    star stopped and then back again and it
  • 00:50:09
    only needed to refuel once on the way
  • 00:50:11
    back meanwhile the poar actually needed
  • 00:50:13
    to be recharged twice during the same
  • 00:50:15
    round trip but the cost of all the
  • 00:50:16
    electricity used amazingly came to the
  • 00:50:18
    same
  • 00:50:19
    £92 however the paar's initial charge
  • 00:50:22
    was done using a home charger which
  • 00:50:24
    works out a lot cheaper than using
  • 00:50:25
    public fast charg had we used DC fast
  • 00:50:28
    charging for the outward leg as well as
  • 00:50:29
    the return leg with the Pulstar the
  • 00:50:31
    overall cost would have actually come to
  • 00:50:33
    £140 which is almost 50 more than with a
  • 00:50:36
    scoda anyway I hope you enjoyed the
