The heat pump system was actually pioneered by Nissan, who applied it to the Nissan Leaf in 2012. The BMW i3, Volkswagen e-Golf, and Kia Soul EV (1st-gen) and Hyundai Ionic Electric soon followed.
the Tesla Model Y with the heat pump system improved its winter range by 10% compared to the equivalent model without it. For the Kona Electric, that figure is 18%. It’s quite a bit more efficient than the Model Y in that regard.
No.. Heat Pump sadly but a resistive PTC Heater which is very good but will not save you Range as a Heat Pump with built in A/C will. Still a good heater but use the heated seats as much as possible as they only use a tiny bit of Power. You’ll still love it I’m sure.!
Meanwehile, today in London yet another electric bus burst into flames for no good reason. These electric buses have been a total disaster all around the world.
I like the word “another”. So you are not going to mention the hundreds that go up in smoke each year that are DIESEL or CNG? Nope…. Don’t think you would🤦🏻♂️
I’ve just fact checked. It was NOT an ELECTRIC BUS but a Diesel Hybrid and the fire was coming from the Diesel Engine bay. If it was a Full Electric Battery powered bus it would have been 60 times safer. ….you may apologise when you can find the man in you.
If you are going to be an fool and charge your EV inside your garage, and even worse if inside your garage is actually inside your house, then be less of a fool and install a smoke alarm over your car that is interconnected to the other smoke alarms in your house. That way, when the battery goes into thermal runaway whilst charging - and don't delude yourself that "that will never happen to me" - at least you will be woken up so you dont burn to death in your sleep. And despite what Musk says, it happens to LFP batteries, too. If you have that smoke alarm at least you'll probably have 15 minutes to get your children out of the house and to safety UPWIND before your house burns to the ground.
It’s really amazing that you know better than everyone who makes and sells EVs, and those with actual numbers.I’ll be calling the thousands of indoor public parking lots with chargers today to tell them about your angry pointless message.
@@zzappligator Well that's a lie right there. I only share other peoples' knowledge. Those with "actual numbers". Also be aware that here in Australia there is already a movement to make this "angry pointless message" into law. Certainly in many places it is already policy.
I don’t know personally of one EV FIRE in five years of ownership, thousands of known owners, I run three forums along with this UA-cam channel and not one has ever been reported or spoke about. I’ve owned 3 used EV’s and one nearly new which are ALL still in use with other owners. I guess you feel that ICE cars are safer… you are very very wrong.

Appreciate the input.

It’s just far better by Tesla. I guess they have simply bettered it👍🏻 I’ve owned a 2013 and 2015 Leaf and neither was not as efficient.
EVs are ace. I do this on my i4. Nothing better than climbing into a toasty car on a cold morning. I set the schedule for every morning.👍
Couldn't agree more!
My car remote starts with any climate settings I want Hyundai bluelink been doing this for years
@turdferguson4447 Yes with the engine on .
@@turdferguson4447 Not allowed in a lot of countries like the UK, on public roads, but I think it’s ok on private land. With EVs it's fine though.
Nice vid! Mines turning up Tuesday, it's a 2019 so not sure if it has a heat pump but I guess I can turn the heating on anyway?

@@KKandEV Thanks for your reply! I'll look forward to driving it in the summer!
I love this about my model 3. That and everything else it does 🙌🏻
We have the same amount of subscribers thats crazy!
put the wipers up in the service menu and your wipers will be defrosted too. Just a tip

@@KKandEV Oooh, more EV-angelistic denial of unpleasant facts. Electric buses all around the world FAIL on pretty well every metric.

@@KKandEV Well I havent seen one ICE fire in now almost exactly 50 years of driving. That proves about as much as your experience.
