You should also do the same test for other electrical vehicles like the Porsche Taycan, Tesla Model S ... And also for sport cars on combustion engine like the Porsche 991.2 turbo S, Mercedes E63S, BMW M5 ...
people in the comments are acting like they drive 200km/h the whole trip, of course the range is shit the outcome would be the same even if you drove an ICE
This. Besides, that's exclusively a German use case, anyways. Nobody else gives a damn about top speed range. But it seems it's a German thnig to think they're the center of the world, be it the green party, or the common Autobahn hooligan.
Right there is nothing exciting about accelerating faster that 99.99% of the cars on the road. Dude stfu and finish installing the pepboy parts on your civic.
Kind of sucks that it limits the power after a few minutes of driving hard. Whats the point of the performance model ? Id expect it in the other models but the performance model shouldnt limit your performance...
Its definitely not a car for long high speed runs, since the effiency is suffering a lot and its quite noisy. But the accelleration up to ~180kph is great and its fun to see other sporty more expensive cars drop behind you
At the start of the video 0:24 there's some info showing you that the range of the battery dropped from 80%-10% in 99km driving at those speeds, even though the car was limited to 230km/h because of winter tyres. So, if he didn't have winter tyres he would've been able to go faster and the battery would've drained even MORE quickly! 99km is around 60 miles! Pathetic. Meanwhile in America, they're raising speed limits because cars are not only becoming faster but more efficient too (not to mention safer). After seeing a video about an EV towing, the range of the battery also dropped dramatically. So obviously, EVs are very limited in their usage. EVs are obviously not the future although they have use for around town driving.
I own a tesla model 3. Teslas are no good for high speeds. 1. Wind noise after 160km gets really loud 2. high speed handling is shit as the car is not stable. 3. after 200 the car is slow as shit (even performance) 4. Battery drains so quickly at high speeds. So for the city, its great but for highway/motorway, it sucks.
In real life most of people don’t keep high speed over 200kmh fo long time, I leave in Switzerland and go quite often to germany, usually go top speed for 2-3min, then stabilize at 180-190 if low trafic if high trafic 150-170 is more confortable for me than braking and accelerating all time
@@_carfreak_2812 yup most of cars are limited to 250kmh even rs6 with 600hp, teslas can limit power if battery cold or too warm, in normal conditions it will go 260kmh. If ICE cars had tha kind of thechnology it will prevent stupid people to dommage or prevent dommages to engine when oil is cold ou too warm .!
@@foxy5855 80% to 10% in 99km at 238km/h (limited because of winter tyres) isn't technology limiting performance, it's physics. Batteries haven't changed in 100 years and it's not for lack of R&D. The mobile phone industry too has been trying to improve/change the chemistry of batteries with zero success, sadly. But as more than one towing test also confirms (Carwow and TFL), EVs aren't the utopia they've been promising. The EV revolution is kaput before it even happened, whether we accept it or not. I think the head of Toyota and Elon Musk are right. Hybrids are the way to go. I recently bought a hybrid and it is fun and very useful around town to waft around without an engine noise. But the environmental costs of mining precious metals and minerals for batteries can't be overlooked (not to mention forced child labour). So for me, batt tech in cars gives me great concern, especially as there's more than just the car industry that wants batteries.
@@lapamful so you’re comparing a single cell lipo battery with a 4K it 8k cells battery pack divided in modules with advanced BMS and thermal management.. I suggest you go back to school 😂 and by the way with my previous c63 amg v8 a those kind of speeds I had to refuel every 180km with average consumption of 32l/100 I’m, and driving normally at 130 ta the from full tank until reserve is about 420km so not so far from my model 3 at least a long trip than Im used to I’d Geneva Switzerland to Porto Portugal, I used to do it in an average 17h for 1890km and 18h30min in the Tesla for 1940km the extra km are coz there’s less supercharger in Spain and you need to go out of the freeway in order to charge merger memes to spot more than 20min with an average of 15min. So yes battery technology and management evolved a lot past 10years an keeps evolving
@@RedDelSol nobody flies at 200+ all the time so its quite irrelevant. For occasional acceleration up to 260km/h its enough range left. BTW my electricity bill was raised I now pay 5.5€ per 100km driving, so an aquivalent of 3L petrol consumption. Now find me a 510hp ICE who will do that. And if prices rise further, I will put solar on my roof. Once electric, you never go back.
@@romansenger2322 Not irrelevant, it's exactly the topic of the video and my comment. In any case, to each his own. You like EV's, good for you. Me, I'm still not convinced. Rather go slower in a petrol/diesel car than flying on a EV.
I mean it is possible to drive 200+, but driving an e-car with such a speed, makes no sence at all ;-) this is something, people need to learn and btw it makes no sence in any other cars too
Dude,why do you always have to tell others what to do. IF i want to go 200+ km/h on the German autobahn for a while I will do so. And btw - going faster means beginning at your destination earlier, no one can tell me otherwise
@@tylerx4343 not really saving the time ... this unlimited autobahns are only on few sections on the highway, anyway are limited on 130,120 even 100 or 80 .. so no, you will not save such huge time because you will be slowed by rules after few minutes. One time one BMW missed me with really high speed and I meet it before Berlin in few minutes. So, how many time he saved ?
"To manufacture each EV battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, & 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for one battery."
Great point, the knuckle heads amazingly believe that's a good replacement for Fossil fuels which will burn up to water vapour, and carbon dioxide which supports plants since CO2 already has a natural cycle. The knuckle heads neglect the fact the enormous amount energy to mine these ores and to recycle the batteries which eventually are dumped on earth. Those mines also do great damage to the environment as well as processing the ores.
A Bugatti Chiron does just 70KM at top speed and the tank lasts just 9 mins or so, cars are less efficient at top / high speeds. 😂 So the Bugatti is worse.

Is it just me, or did it look like his rear motor was hot before he even got on the freeway?
If that's the case, the question is why was it hot? Because he showed he'd been charging just before the run.

It'll do a couple of hundred kilometres at high speed. That's good. Sure, oil cars may go further, but it's still good
that's a hyper car. And I use the term as I see fit.
