Amazing video. How many km would a fully charged metro go? It would be crazy if these buses have to constantly get charged often.

Obviously, the 5G tower gave your car COVID, and autism 🤣 I'm lucky too in that I've never had a breakdown. Your experience was very insightful!

A rather important fact not covered is range

Great video ty … makes my 40 kw battery in the Ioniq feel size anxiety..!! Looks good😊

What’s the install price

I was working on the northern turnaround/ charging station at countess st. And talking to some briabane city bus managers, all new buses will be electric from 2027, and to accommodate all the charging required, they need to build two new massive depots

I HOPE that destinations including CHERMSIDE [ which I think IS planned] BROWNS PLAINS FOREST LAKE and Whether a route to IPSWICH , with limited stops, will be introduced!

Using normal roads, it will be facing the same problems for other road users, ie traffic jams etc.

I'm wondering if they are using Lithium titanate batteries, with the incredibly fast charging it sounds like they might be. If they are titanate (LTO) the batteries will last decades and have zero fire risk. I know a lot of Chinese buses use LTO chemistry.

Thanks for the vid. Looking forward to part 2, and part 3 (riding one). It will be interesting to see how many of them they can keep operating from their solar system.

With 600KW, they would be looking at BESS systems to level out demand. Also, there is a great opportunity for a community battery also...

Logan City is already running limited electric bus services. Might be worth contacting them.

Hope it's better than UK and some European that have gone up in flames. Ya got kids on those things.

What's is happening in Brisbane with Hydrogen buses.

It looks like a tram for the road. Quite an interesting design. Must be a handful to drive on tight streets. Changing lanes on the freeway would be interesting.

Just fyi, it’s ‘If you’re new to the channel’

re 26:23 dont you remember the driver was also the ticket conductor

Great EVs, but a very misleading name thanks to our LNP Council (bendy-buses can't move the same number of passengers as world class Metro trains do). I see the Rochedale depot from the M1, so thanks for showing more of the depot. I spoke to a Council staff member who was showing one of these EVs at the recent RACQ Motorfest - he was very knowledgeable, but he didn't know how many kWh the battery is. Services begin in Oct 2024 - bring it on.

One big sucker EV alright! Hope you get an interview as I'm interested to know more.

Greg, are you coming to the Sydney bEV Show (Friday 8 Nov, Sat 9 Nov, Sunday 10 November 2024)? It’s $35 per adult per day to enter but if you contact Future Drive Auto (the expo/show organisers) a few months ahead and send proof that your are bEV utuber they will probably send you a few free tickets

You left home at 5.00 am to get a cup of coffee? Don't you own a kettle? EV chargers in most shopping centres are in covered carparks, there is no other way to access them. I think overall MG were very understanding to your problems.

Wow, fueling the the car is a Saturday morning outing ? Who would have thought that introducing a whole new technology without with technical support structure in place was a poorly thought out idea ? Brilliant decision making in the location of that charger.

not always, cheap ass musk stopped providing home charging cables for tesla

I just got my Ora extended range today, yay

Who the hell decided to install the charging station where it was, are the charging station in bed with the towing company maybe knowing full well there is no way to get a truck in there to get the car out, sound fishy to me.

Have you ever bought 2nd hand Toyota car from toyota dealership like southside toyota ? if yes, how's the experience ?

Thanks

Donated :) Thanks so much for this video Greg. I'm seriously considering this car. How do you like it on the Freeway? I do a lot of freeway driving. I see reviews saying a 5 year warranty. You say 7 years...

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Highlights a range of “things that can go wrong” with modern vehicles (ICE and EV) including importance of good service and support, not just up-front price. Automatic/electronic control of basic functions like brakes and transmission without manual overrides reduces options for recovery. The suggested 5G interference cause is highly improbable for reasons others have covered. Also not likely to be the key fobs. Reliable operation of all electronics is fundamentally dependent on stable power regulation on the vehicle may be susceptible to low battery voltage. Also, possibly voltage spikes on the rapid charger. Kempower may not offer that info from their diagnostics. 😉.

From what I've seen, the ev is slower than our 2011 x3 at 0 - 100km?

I've never heard of a mobile phone tower causing such a problem before but it makes sense I guess. Back around 2015 when I had recently bought a Tesla Model S I had a problem with the key-fob not being recognised. The cause was having the key-fob and my mobile phone close together (in the same pocket). No one warned me about that but fortunately I found the cause within 10 minutes and by employing a multi-pocket approach my problem went away. Best regards.

Great video. Thank you. I cannot find the report mentioned about chargers reliability in the UK. Can you attach the link pls?

Interesting web of companies here. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, very helpful.

Lol, lots changed since this. Entire supercharger crew gone!

Too many electronics part for modern car. Especially, EV car has so many components that normal mechanic wouldn't understand. I prefer simple car that just run without any fancy technology. They sell the tools to lift the wheel up and move the car out yourself. So $600 would be possible to buy 4 of them and do it yourself

Bit of nostalgia watching this one from a couple years ago. The EV scene has gone ahead leaps and bounds since this time. Keep up the great work.

Scary stuff! Hope authorities get on top of this ASAP.

My 22 year old gas guzzler does not even know what 3G is let alone 5G.

MG 🤮 BYD 🤮 never even if you paid me to drive it 😂

Great video actually the new MG ZS ev MY2021 and beyond take 3 phase 11kwh AC charging my model 2022 is a dream almost always at 9.50kwh even at higher state of charge it is really quick I try to lower on my charger instead and charge Lower speed due to load level on my sockets as I have old house 1969 with old wires I believe my DC charge is at 90kWh now also improved from the first gen.

I have been using the Otto Cast U2 Air Pro for a few days on my EV6 and it connected up very quickly (you need to establish a Bluetooth connection to the unit) and it does everything else very seamlessly. Got it on Amazon during Prime Day for $84 but it’s regularly that price from what I can tell outside Prime Day. This unit just does the regular Car Play / Android Auto functions (no Netflix etc) but it connects VERY quickly. Otto Cast do have several units including a video streaming one, but as a driver I wasn’t interested in those. From what I can see it works so well you forget it’s there. 👍

Hi mate I’m running a Zappi smart charger it’ can come tethered with a 7 kWh type two plug I’m charging an Atto and a old leaf I got a type 1 to type 2 adapter for the leaf which works fine 😁👍

36c/kwh! Holy shit! Tasmania peak is 33c and off peak is 16c. Off peak is 9pm-7am, then 10am till 4pm. Charge from 9pm till 7am and during the day from 10-4 + solar.

holden volt? my chevy volt here uses type 1 here in the us. guessing the few holden volts in australia still used type 1's? i put solar panels on my volt and expanded the battery on the 12v side by an extra 4kwh, and installed a small micro inverter so i can plug my house into my car and park it outside once its done charging. getting about 1.3kwh/day discount on my power bill and the mods make my 32mile 2013 phev last for around 45-55miles instead. any long trips are gas which is still cheaper and way faster than super charging. also not good for the bats. i made a post on the gm volt forums under gen1->modifications section

Anyway, someone could take this info and try and gleem it's education for us, who live in the United Sates? as someone new to the EV car charging marketplace, one thing that I wonder about is, are the charging networks charging the same exact rate in all 50 States, or can it vary from state to state? it seems unfair to me, to think for example That Tesla or Charge Point, etc..charge the same rate for EV charging in New Mexico or SouthDakota, or other far less urban population centers in those states, as opposed to heavy densely populated states like New York or California ?

It's simple don't buy the EV puss

I have a Polestar and drive around 500kms a week. I would recommend installing a wallbox 11kw charger. I charge overnight at 8cents per kWh. Including the 10% , I assume 20kWh per 100kms. That's what a $1.60 per 100kms. Anyone who wants to keep their gas guzzler MUST have rocks in their head.

0c/kWh from.11am to 2pm using OVOenergy. 8c/kWh from midnight to 6am.
