NICE car, mate.
How many kilowatts-hours is it?
Yes, you read it right.
Forget everything you know about mpg, CO2, BHP Billiton, etc, because the future is electric and the electric car is about kWh.
Sit here and see the Mercedes EQC-
One of ten pure electric EQ cars to be launched in the next four years.
It has 80 degrees of lithium.
Produce 300 KW ion batteries.
But what does that mean?
Okay, let me add some points.
The 80 kWh battery is equivalent to 22,000 AA batteries.
22,000.
There are many trips to Argos.
The output of 300 KW is equivalent to the torque of 408hp and 765 Nm, in other words, EQC is like stinking --
Especially when you think it prompts the scale at 2. 5 tonnes.
Penny per liter per gallon mile? Meaningless.
You need to adapt to energy consumption, or your child will laugh at you more than it is now.
Full price for Merc EQC up to 248 miles-
I can only say 200 in the real world. with 22.
Use the 2kWh battery every 62 miles.
Then DC fast-charging (
80 minutes juice in 40 minutes)and AC trickle-
Home charger for a few hours
And the high price of electric cars.
You have a lot to do.
Will you pay 67,000 for EQC or 37,000 for GLC with 30,000 of fuel in the tank?
But what I have to say is that EQC is a peach.
If only for the three glowing-
The pointed star on the nose and the horizontal light strip before and after.
As expected, the cottage was full
In its widescreen digital dashboard, Siri's Merc charm-
Like virtual assistant and designer Electronicslook.
The vent is obviously inspired by copper wire, and the silver door panel is similar to hi-fi amplifier.
Of course, another great advantage of electric vehicles is the silence and all the extra space gained by discarding all the oil stains.
If that means anything to you, the boots are 500 liters. . .
Compete fairly with that star Howard Donald.
Not only does he have a classic Porsche 356-one of my dream cars-he will roll up his sleeves and use it.
Howard will take part in the £ 300,000 race in Saturday's twisted Goodwood Revival.
He said: "I haven't played yet, but I did a test last week and the result was terrible.
I think it will be more flexible than the big jokes we face.
Very exciting.
Will you be nervous?
"I will cry myself.
100.
I took part in six races at Lotus Cortina to get my international racing license, though I was nervous because it was a race between novice riders.
But once you finish the first few laps, you're fine.
You start to have more venom in your blood.
Tell us more about the car?
"I bought it in 2012.
I saw it and heard it pass and I thought "I like that car ".
It's actually a 1953 Pre-
This is very rare. Chris Harris (Top Gear)
He played well in Goodwood and he got second place but I'm not Chris Harris.
"What else is in your dream garage?
"I want to say a Ferrari 250 GTO-but they are also the money they dream of, and what are they for £ 30 --£40m?
And McLaren f1. Your first car? "New light Talbert.
The color of Lotus Blue.
But this is the only benefit.
I wrote down the crash into four other cars.
It's all my fault.
After passing my test for about nine months it was wet.
I slammed on the brakes and kept sliding.
"What car are you driving now? “Mercedes-AMG GLS 63.
This is a big car for a family of six that sounds great and stinks. ”Last question.
What did you put in the box?
"Wipes and Starbucks napkins.
"You may need them on Saturday, my friend.
Imagine driving an eGolf while sitting on a pile of pillows-that's eCrafter, except for the harder time parking.
The public has taken all the garbage from all the garbage.
Transplant them into its big truck.
So the driving experience is almost the same: maximum instantaneous torque, quiet like a church mouse, zero emission
This makes it impossible to stop the speed automatically.
You can effortlessly in the leaves or I-
Only 1 Pace or any other electric vehicle.
There's seven tons behind. Note.
The lithium of this eCrafter
The ion battery is buried on the floor, so it has the same 10.
7 m³ as a high cargo capacity
Four European pallets can be brought.
At the front you will see all the toys-touch screen satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay, heated seats, air conditioning and reverse camera.
Like eGolf, but higher. So, all the gravy? Er, not quite.
There are two main problems. First, range.
Can only do 62-
The charge is 75 miles, which is good for Amazon delivery drivers in Milton Keynes who can squeeze juice overnight but not good for 24/7 plumber Terry.
It takes 45 minutes to lift 80 cents on a 40 KW public charger.
It takes 5 hours and 20 minutes to charge a full fee from a 7 KW wall panel at home. Second, price.
When it lands in the UK in 2020, it will cost about 54,000-after the 8,000 plug-in --in grant. That’s a lot.
16,000 more than high point.
Specifications diesel oil.
But you do the math and you realize that over time you will recover the differences in fuel savings, congestion charges, road taxes and lower maintenance costs.
I am looking forward to the next confirmation of eCaddy by Volkswagen, but we have to wait until 2022electric T7.
Conclusion: the use is limited, but it feels like the future.
