Video Summary
Findings from the video:The video is sponsored by several companies.
The reviewer is taking the Kia EV3 on a road trip before returning it.
The reviewer had trouble deciding on a road trip destination.
One object in the backseat is an IKEA ceiling lamp.
The original Ikea ceiling lamp is broken.
The destination of the road trip is Hammer at Ringsaker.
The reviewer is charging the EV3 now.
The car won't charge up to 100%, but instead to 98% power.
The plan is to charge as needed rather than fully charge.
The reviewer is now charging the battery and topping off the EV3 with supercharger V4 juice.
The charge goes slower towards the end.
After charging, consumption is at 236-watt hours/kilometers.
This is due to driving hard on the motorway, but a tailwind helps.
The external temperature is 13 degrees Celsius now.
The first stop is IKEA to return the light.
At the first stop, it is 10:23 am.
The EV3 used 236 watts.
Consumption has been high because of the motorway driving.
One annoying habit of the EV3 is that it beeps on locking if the car is left on.
To lock the car after driving, the reviewer has to turn off a switch.
A modern electric car will turn off after stopping, MEB platform, Tesla and Chinese cars for example.
Another thing found at IKEA is the car park for trailers and one sign for tractors.
There is a solar panel farm in Norway near IKEA Ringsaker.
When stepping out of the car, the high-frequency noise of the inverters can be heard from the solar panel farm.
The quick utility control screen does not have good UI for limited screen space.
There is a utility mode on the car.
The reviewer thinks the Kia EV3 is a nice car for the money, good comfort.
204 horsepower is more than sufficient for driving.
The range on this road trip has been 300 kilometers with mixed motorway driving.
The EV3 has good range with a big battery.
Front wheel drive causes torque steer when flooring it.
The EV3 has limited space in the back and this is compounded with a child seat.
