OMG THAT WAS YOU GUYS? I was a few cars behind you guys last Wednesday (August 9) going up SLEX from EDSA Magallanes late afternoon/early evening. I thought "Oh boy that guy is breaking coding". Imagine my surprise when they let you go. It all made sense when the MMDA officer suddenly shouted to his fellow enforcers "HYBRID!". You guys have no idea how much that changed my mind about getting a Hybrid/EV
In short, it is categorized globally as a "Series Hybrid Vehicle", a type of hybrid that uses an internal combustion engine as a "range extender". The car is fully-electric powered, it just has a gasoline generator sustaining the batteries, as the name implies. It is also known in other countries as a "extended-range electric vehicle" or EREV. So yes, the Kicks e-POWER is an EV.
The test is flawed because if the officers pulled you over in the first place, they were unable to identify it as an HEV. If they did and all they needed was for you to vocally tell them it is an EV without them checking, then the system still doesn't work cause someone can just get a hybrid badge to put them without them checking the papers, for example the Corolla/Yaris Cross or the Innova Zenix that has both hybrid and non-hybrid variants, or the mild hybrid cars like the Ertiga, Okavango, and CX-60 which shouldnt be excluded. Also, the officers could probably just not care even if they see it and don't know it's an HEV.
In the future, EV/Hybrids will have their own type of plate. But yeah, at the moment, unless the traffic enforcer was listening to their briefings (if they have any), what you have said has a likelihood of happening.
@@jeddpires yeah this definitely is the way, but it needs to be done by 2025, otherwise the differentiation won't be effective by 2030 unless they start giving more different rules between EV, PHEV/EV, and ICE
to be fair, not even the general populace is aware on what cars are EVs, HEVs, PHEVs, or regular ICE engines. You either have to be an EV simp or a car guy updated with EV news to actually be aware which is which. So I can't exactly blame them as well if not many of them don't know what is and what's not. It also doesn't help that many car brands have hybrid and EV version of their regular cars. A quick fix with this is to let LTO make specific plates for EVs and the like. Or force manufacturers to make a specific design to ensure people will know it's an EV like say putting an EV badge on the front using a specific color on the front grille area (or the area where one should be found on an ICE engine) to denote that it's an EV. Or hell, even a special sticker from LTO on the windshield should be enough to denote that it's an EV.
@@dickmelsonlupot7697 yeah the plate number is really the easiest option to identify without asking for an OR/CR. Hybrid badges are cheap to buy and people can easily stick them on non-hybrid variants of hybrid vehicles. The other expectation is at the very least a training or circular to traffic enforcers regarding the hybrid vehicles available, but as they start to increase in numbers it's a less feasible solution

The Nissan Kicks is fine. But it's kinda small. Will they bring in the bigger Nissan ePower X-Trail? The reviews of the X-Trail you see in UA-cam has even more features, like adaptive cruise control.
Are there any indicators in the car that enforcers could based on if a car is EV (like an additional sticker)? Just curious, if they would just take the driver's word for it or would they know just by looking at it? Like, what if for other cars which has both non-hybrid/ev and hybrid/ev variant. Don't they have to ask for docs?
i would think they were trained to Identify the make and model as well as look for indicators like an EV badge/emblem somewhere around the car. I could be wrong but I thought that EV vehicles are/will be provided special plates for easier identification and would make it harder to fake like the EV badges/emblems. Also, this is the Philippines, enforcers sometimes choose who to flag down. And sometimes just taking the driver's word is less of a hassle than asking for additional documents. Everyone has somewhere to be and work to do. 😅 On a side note, SoJooCars did this test with the Ertiga and enforcers also just took his word for it, even though he has the docs prepared.

@@suroysuroypinas any naman BUT for example accelerating hard ka, the battery will deplete easily also. So need mag rev higher ng engine to compensate for the decreased batter depletion. Assuming na naturally aspirated ang setup, di hamak na mas maraming power napoproduce ng larger engine per cycle which requires less RPM. Ultimately naman all of its power goes through the battery.
Smoother ang gas tho. I think the smoothness was what they were aiming for naman talaga. Makes me wonder how Toyota will execute their Hilux hybrid in Australia tho.
I have just 1 thought, I don't know if it's right, but, why don't they have a small generator connected to the electric motor of the car, that feeds the battery as well at the same time, so while you're driving and using the electric car, the generator connected to it is charging its battery again without having an ICE.?
QC area from Manila going to UPD - huli ng huli ng Nissan Kicks EV .. experienced twice na. ---Enforcer said : Pinpahuli na daw ngayon 😮 After showing the documents they let us go.
Innovation in utility vehicles is part of a continuing progress in the world we lives in. But i disagree having this marketing strategy just because it is not addressing the traffic system issues currently in the Philippines but instead this approach is just adding to the problems in the roadway congestions. Why? having exempted in the Coding System apparently implemented in various urbanized cities means is just a temporary relief to vehicle owners, but in general it is not adding value to all other means of transport . In the long run E-vehilcles will be regulated too. Just sharing an opinion.👍
this is not an EV or PHEV...this is just a hybrid engine and still considered as an ICE system...also hybrids has better mileage in city driving than hiway...
agreed. we should not look into the drivetrain but the emissions or gas consumption! Nissan Kicks does not deserve to be exempted from the coding scheme.
Knowing the track record of the LTO with plates, goodluck getting those EV plates til the Evida Law expires. Owning Hybrids/EVs and getting to your destination on-time will be a headache getting pulled-over every corner. Not hating EVs or Hybrids, I just don't trust our government to deliver on their end on-time.
If you mean "can" then yes. I did get 99km/l on short drives. And 30-68km/l on a couple of midnight drives. But then again depends on the route, driving habits, and driving conditions. But if you mean average per full tank. Then yes 18-25. I'm getting 15.6km/l average per full tank, heavy traffic, city drive within metro manila.
Thank you for the new video of Kicks. I was actually wondering if I shouldn't worry about number coding. By the way, should I tell the traffic enforcer that it's an "EV"❓ The previous comparison video with the Corolla Cross was a test under Christmas traffic, but this fuel consumption test was better than the previous one. 👍It's been a whole year since launch, but is there any update for the 2024 model?❓
@@rauldelossantos7700 EV, PHEV and HEV are exempted from coding. What is not exempted are the MHEVs or mild hybrid vehicles because they are not technically hybrids since their electric motor alone cannot be used to run the vehicle.
Jack looks sleepy while holding the phone.. hehehe.. it's so funny because when there's something he wants to interject to make fun of Caco, he suddenly awakens, like a Kraken! hehehe
Though I am a fan, I wish your video showed the page down/up from what you showed for the FC Average. It would have shown the following. FC Average, total distance traveled, total running time, average speed. Friend has a Kicks and it can't get anywhere near 25km/l on the highway. Also, for whatever reason, Nissan PH model of Kicks does not have the "feature" to show the battery level (as if on a cellphone) on the lower left hand side of the dash board. It is actually a feature available in Thailand Models and the screen should be there in the Kicks we get here in the PH, just that the "software" does not include it. It didn't make sense not to have it as you would always see the battery charge level, and whether or not it is charging just being a small icon on the lower left side of the dashboard, regardless of what page of the MID dashboard you are on. You can look for it in the manual and they list it as "if equipped".
😂 I don't know how your friend drives but 25km/L is actually pretty average for a kicks on a highway. Most ppl that have kicks (we have a group page that frequently shares our FC with routes&load included) can get it to 25-35 easily.
@@josephcadiao5751 like i said, the data on that page of the Kicks dashboard MID would have been clear info as those numbers on those four (fc average, total distance travelled, average speed, total running time) all tally if you try to check using 2 of the logged figures to manually compute Also just because you are running the Kicks at 90 or 100kph or any other vehicle, does not automatically mean the logged “average speed” would show 90 or 100kph, because it includes slower speeds before you reach toll booths and any slow down on the highway. That’s why the data (or screen capture of that page) would clear up this question. You could get 25km/l to 35km/l on the Kicks MID with a specific snap shot in time of the Kicks along the Highway, heck even the city. They even had their Fc average in their makati crawl at around 13.5km/l showing (said 14km/l in the video at around 6:00 mark) and im not arguing against that. It will happen in the more realistic scenarios. And usually that’s for typical city traffic average speeds of around 12kmph to 13kmph, with lots of idling time. Friend is able to achieve digital MID FC average of around 16 to 17km/l (manual computation is closer to 15 to 16km/l about a 5% variance), with logged average speed of about 14 to 15 kmph city driving. Highway trying to keep a maintained 90kmph to 100kmph speed with some mixed settings start and finish (as well as any slowdowns) would net an average speed (logged) of about below 60kmph but still not getting actual near 25km/l. Again, that is his experience and he shares with me. Great if you get 25 to 35km/l easily. But wouldn’t you agree that page on the MID dashboard would have provided clearer information on how the 25km/l average was logged/recorded?
@@mjss1984 Not against it but I'd rather have blind spot monitoring like in Thailand than that feature. And yeah, +5/-5 variance in digi FC vs Full Tank method is pretty accurate.
@@josephcadiao5751 true. Especially for the TOTL Kicks, I do believe having the BMS with FCW completes the package in terms of safety monitoring. AEB is a nice to have when you really need it. That part of the screen that I would just want Nissan PH to enable via software is an oddity because Nissan has said that part of the screen (lower left hand side) is there. The computer and MID has the software already to monitor battery level, whether charging, discharging and regening in the first page of the MID dashboard anyway. Why isn't that easy to view small icon(s) on the lower hand side available though if the screen is there? It seems odd to "exclude" the feature via software if the hardware is already there. That way you never really need to go to the page 1 of the MID Dashboard if you are monitoring your battery charge level as you are nearing your destination to shut off the vehicle. I don't clock enough kilometers in a year to enjoy the benefits of the hybrid TBH, that's why I didn't. Kicks is nice, but I think the main upgrade they would need to consider for future is a better suspension that allows for "more travel/cushioning" but I do understand there is limited space between the tires and the wheel arch as it is already. For the price, especially for the base and mid trim Kicks, there really is not much to find to be "wanting".
Strange or rather nice law, because in Jakarta which enforce the same vehicle number plate restriction like Manila, kicks not consider full ev, hence can not go through restricted area, unlike pure ev like ioniq or even small ev like air ev. However maybe Manila can use ev identification like Jakarta which use blue line vehicle plate number for pure ev.
I think its about time that we put a mic on Jack. Love the banter always!

Also, for whatever reason, Nissan PH model of Kicks does not have the "feature" to show the battery level (as if on a cellphone) on the lower left hand side of the dash board. It is actually a feature available in Thailand Models and the screen should be there in the Kicks we get here in the PH, just that the "software" does not include it. It didn't make sense not to have it as you would always see the battery charge level, and whether or not it is charging just being a small icon on the lower left side of the dashboard, regardless of what page of the MID dashboard you are on. You can look for it in the manual and they list it as "if equipped".
😂 I don't know how your friend drives but 25km/L is actually pretty average for a kicks on a highway. Most ppl that have kicks (we have a group page that frequently shares our FC with routes&load included) can get it to 25-35 easily.
@@josephcadiao5751 like i said, the data on that page of the Kicks dashboard MID would have been clear info as those numbers on those four (fc average, total distance travelled, average speed, total running time) all tally if you try to check using 2 of the logged figures to manually compute Also just because you are running the Kicks at 90 or 100kph or any other vehicle, does not automatically mean the logged “average speed” would show 90 or 100kph, because it includes slower speeds before you reach toll booths and any slow down on the highway. That’s why the data (or screen capture of that page) would clear up this question.
You could get 25km/l to 35km/l on the Kicks MID with a specific snap shot in time of the Kicks along the Highway, heck even the city. They even had their Fc average in their makati crawl at around 13.5km/l showing (said 14km/l in the video at around 6:00 mark) and im not arguing against that. It will happen in the more realistic scenarios. And usually that’s for typical city traffic average speeds of around 12kmph to 13kmph, with lots of idling time.
Friend is able to achieve digital MID FC average of around 16 to 17km/l (manual computation is closer to 15 to 16km/l about a 5% variance), with logged average speed of about 14 to 15 kmph city driving.
Highway trying to keep a maintained 90kmph to 100kmph speed with some mixed settings start and finish (as well as any slowdowns) would net an average speed (logged) of about below 60kmph but still not getting actual near 25km/l.
Again, that is his experience and he shares with me. Great if you get 25 to 35km/l easily. But wouldn’t you agree that page on the MID dashboard would have provided clearer information on how the 25km/l average was logged/recorded?
@@mjss1984 Not against it but I'd rather have blind spot monitoring like in Thailand than that feature. And yeah, +5/-5 variance in digi FC vs Full Tank method is pretty accurate.
@@josephcadiao5751 true. Especially for the TOTL Kicks, I do believe having the BMS with FCW completes the package in terms of safety monitoring. AEB is a nice to have when you really need it.
That part of the screen that I would just want Nissan PH to enable via software is an oddity because Nissan has said that part of the screen (lower left hand side) is there. The computer and MID has the software already to monitor battery level, whether charging, discharging and regening in the first page of the MID dashboard anyway. Why isn't that easy to view small icon(s) on the lower hand side available though if the screen is there? It seems odd to "exclude" the feature via software if the hardware is already there. That way you never really need to go to the page 1 of the MID Dashboard if you are monitoring your battery charge level as you are nearing your destination to shut off the vehicle.
I don't clock enough kilometers in a year to enjoy the benefits of the hybrid TBH, that's why I didn't. Kicks is nice, but I think the main upgrade they would need to consider for future is a better suspension that allows for "more travel/cushioning" but I do understand there is limited space between the tires and the wheel arch as it is already. For the price, especially for the base and mid trim Kicks, there really is not much to find to be "wanting".
Strange or rather nice law, because in Jakarta which enforce the same vehicle number plate restriction like Manila, kicks not consider full ev, hence can not go through restricted area, unlike pure ev like ioniq or even small ev like air ev. However maybe Manila can use ev identification like Jakarta which use blue line vehicle plate number for pure ev.
In Manila as long as it’s a full hybrid, a PHEV, or a BEV, it is exempted.
In Manila we have a green line plate for Hybrid. It's relatively new format so..
I wonder how the Nissan Kicks would fair against flood in Metro Manila🤔🤔🤔🤔
What about the issue of Airconditioning system of e-kicks? Does it already fixed the issue?
They started a recall na ata and replace yung compressor.
They started the recall and replacement already about 2 months ago I think.
Yes, only the the old batch that was released before, they've been doing a recall for months now. all the new kicks have no compressor issue anymore.
It was a faulty compressor issue. Already rectified.
how did i just now notice that caco upgraded from his note8
Sana ilagay ito sa Terra
Either the enforcers know that what you're driving is a Kicks or they just don't care that day 😂
Makati is probably where most electrified vehicles drive on a regular day. 😂
