Volvo C40 EV: KL to Penang without charging, can reach? - AutoBuzz
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2023
- Is it possible to drive an EV from KL to Penang in a single charge? We really want to know, so we took the fully-electric Volvo C40 a did a test. To make it more interesting, we created an EV Challenge. GC drove directly to Penang without stopping to charge, while Eu Jin stopped to recharge. Which method is faster? Did GC make it in a single charge? Who will arrive first? Watch to find out!

Finally the special combo duo is back 😊
As usual, autobuzz always comes out with high quality content video that is useful and answers people's questions! Keep it up!
Love this type of video, as expected coming from AutoBuzz. Entertaining to watch with added info. Thank You!
very informative test drive..hope you guys will do the same with other EVs too!
Please repeat challenge using KL-KB during raya period for more realistic scenario 😂
Eu Jin would have made it to Rasa Sayang easily if he only charged for 10mins at a 180kw charger. That would have cost 40 ringgit. He can then top up the battery at the destination charger in the hotel car park.
People need to understand how to charge efficiently with EV on long journeys. If he had charged it for 10mins and 40rm at Simpang Pulai then his EV trip to Penang would have been just as quick and far cheaper than any other comparable 400bhp ICE car to do the same journey.
For the current EV tech, it seems like the owner needs to do some math for travelling, ppl were too comfortable with ICE car in which they can just get a full tank & walla, you're ready for long distance travelling .
Quite sure they agreed to the almost full charging as a requirement for the challenge, just like one took the new bridge & the traffic jams while another took the old bridge with less traffic. If it was only to see who would arrive the fastest, they'd take the exact same journey to be absolutely fair. Hence the requisite almost full charging before taking off to slightly level the playing field.
Too much of a hassle to think on where to charge for best value.
always a quality video from autobuzz...
OMG, Miss malaysia a lot
Miss driving there in this video, you drive me back 8 years ago
Not wise for Eu Jin to charge over 80% using DC charger at Shell Recharge as it's charged slower and not worth the value.
Good job Eugene..you improved a lot
Aya. Your HI GOOGLE kacau my tv oredi. Hahah. Btw lama u tk jadi host bro glad to see u again
Superb video to compare the mode of drive an EV
New subscriber here!
Someone (car journalist also) did it in iX3 before. I think he arrived around 23% battery left
This is the best buzzzz
It would be great to know the time difference between GC an Eu Jin
RM120 ICE full tank, get to Penang without stopping (no toilet break also) with about 1 and 1/2 bar left. Speed was about 130-140km/h on average. EV is still expensive, only when the charging expenses lower i will switch, till then i stick to good ol ICE. 😊
If you drive long distance a lot ICE is still the way to go. EV's value comes in when driving in town. You probably wont ever need to pay for charging other than your home electricity bill 😁
They charged at the most expensive charger in Malaysia, and they also charged to 90%+... who does that?? Looks like they're trying to get the highest charging price record.
It’s a very bad idea to charge 400V platform EV at Shell Recharge. Worse they charge to 90+% 😅
Better option is Charge at Tapah R&R or Ipoh which is 40-60% cheaper than Shell Recharge at Spg Pulai.
Shell recharge is best for 800V EV platform such as Porsche/Kia/Huyndai… or join their membership for better rate.
Wait till fuel subsidies are over then try recalculating again
@@hachuah so much anxiety until even need to think where to charge is cheaper.
Right away at 3:03 your friend catches you on video flooring it into the far fast lane around those caravan trucks. So what happens is you had negative 15 km left when you told Google to navigate because that's how you drive. So when Volvo says it gets 450 km that means normal people driving it normally and not trying to throw the range test by punching it and flooring it all over the place. 👍
Good Job GC MAH
Hope can do the same for Atto 3 and Dolphin
1:54 summons my Google Assistant😂
An ICE car usually needs only 1/2 to 3/4 tank of fuel to reach Penang. And that's with 110+++km/h speeds. Guess no EVs for me yet..
In fact the range is depending on which EV.
Driving at 110-130km/h some EV can reach Penang with 20-30% battery juice left.
And refilling much faster, more station. If they did the challenge during festive season, they might need to queue for charging station
@@yeohpp2425 Agree with you. There are already tech for batteries with 2-3x capacity but have to wait till it gets to production cars. Range anxiety is still a thing for EVs. But my take on this is the current fast charging cost v petrol.
@@nazrinasraf5819 Worst case.. get stranded before reaching a charging station.
@@yeohpp2425true but those EVs would be much much more expensive models than these Volvo's to begin with
Great video! However I have to say charging users based on time is ridiculous. Not to mention it's expensive. It should have been charged per kwh instead. I wonder whose "brilliant" idea it was to introduce time based charging🤦🏻♂️
Gc please dont mention the hey google on your next video . My phone literally want me to go take a drive to penang while eating maggie 😭😭😭
13:45 Top Gear style of claiming victory 😏
Stuck at Greenlane - Masjid Negeri just a 15 min jam, he goes all the way to town and back to tanjung sure slow xDDD
I was told Shell EV charging rate is the most expensive
Would have been better to stop at Tapah r&r slightly slower chager but at half the cost.
Time being EV car is practical for town short distance with multiple stops and heavy traffics within 20 KM radius. Beyond that ICE car is still the best option.
should just charge till 80% and leave
This works when there's no traffic, during festive seasons jam, the anxiety would kill ppl
Oh boy, i feel you. Recently driving ICE car with ~20km of fuel left, got stuck in traffic jam in the middle of the day (le tour de Langkawi). Boy it's so much anxiety watching my meter go down because it's too hot to turn off AC.
An ev would actually do better in traffic as besides the AC and some basic electronics the car will be using no power.
Actually traffic jam in City drive is the strength of EV compare to ICE. It can get better range in heavy traffics.
Well, I drove a BMW iX and GWM Ora from KL to Johor without charging as well, earlier this year during CNY. All good and smooth.
EV for now is just a big town/city vehicle. Nothing more. Imaging travelling at country side where no charging station available. Hybrid is perhaps the best choice.
Can still charge at home.
If you are travelling far then it's still will be a problem. Unless there is a portable charger for travelling purpose.😂😂
they should compare same model same make 1 EV vs 1 ICE. i got a feeling that ICE is better in every aspect purchase cost, fuel cost, time to travel especially on longer trips
Yes, that's true, the ICE vehicle would blow these 2 EV in almost every way but then these youtubers might get banned from reviewing Volvo cars in future because they exposed the big EV scam 🤣🤣🤣
Do the EV drive KUL-PEN with 4 adults in the car and a full load of luggage in the trunk.
7:12 - 7:40. Using phone while driving without a holder.😂 #PDRM 👮♂️ 🚔
Haters will say EV has no sound and it's too quiet and comfortable.
If im not mistaken, if you going to take advantage of the drag, u need to be closer to the front car. The distance in the video will have the same outcome. No advantage there
The Volvo C40 cannot charge at 180kW…. Max of 150kW for the AWD or 136kW for the FWD.
If it’s the model 2024 it can charge at 200kw
@@kaiser1966 yes, but it wasn’t. It was a FWD model. So 2023.
rm156, pump 97ron an average ICE car of 6L/100km can get you from SG to penang :D
rm156 pump 95ron? can go from SG to Thai border easily
with hybrid, maybe can return too lol
why is so expensive rm 156 ?
He picked the most expensive DC fast chargers in Malaysia along the highway😂
cost of charging seems higher compared to petrol
Only DC, which is only use for quick charging. Most of the time youll charge at home, which is a lot cheaper.
He picked the most expensive fast charging facility from Shell 😂
Other fast charging facility fee is about the same we pay for Ron95.
When are we having electric army tanks and fighter jets ? To save the environment
Not sure whether I'm watching Top Gear or Autobuzz. Janganlah tiru sangat..
The heck? Why copying literally the biggest car show in the world a bad thing?
why give false info to publicity? EV just charge to 80%, because the charging speed drop a lot after this. Only charge to 100% if u can't find any charging station when driving to destination or charge at home by AC charger.
RM156 for electricity? daylight robbery
dude not using apple carplay. Dangerous
Why?
@DarkExternalHeart if not why there is an emphasis to use handsfree in some countries?
I rather arrive later and with RM156 in my wallet to spend on Penang food for days.
RM156?????? apa ni??
Shell mahal. Rm4 seminute.. other ev charger only rm1.2-1.5 per kilowatt
if you did the calculation, Volvo Mutiara Damansara - Simpang Pulau R&R - around 200km. that's about RM0.78/km, if you compare that to a normal gas car with 10km/l (RM0.25/km)
Their mistake… pick the most Top 1 expensive charger in Malaysia
30L of petrol should get you to Penang. Why waste rm156?
Only DC fast charging, most of the time you won't need it you charge at home.
He picked the most expensive DC fast charger in Malaysia.
Their comparing two ways of getting to Penang, which is faster. GC lost the race but probably only spent RM40 charging the car at home before starting out.
