Video Summary
Key findings from the electric car review:- The car was prepared and charged to 100% in the garage.
- During the eco-run, Eco Mode was used, the AC was turned off. Only fans at speed one were used. Or climate control was off entirely, to save as much energy as possible.
- Driving rules are: No overtaking, slow poking, at the speed limit on the speedometer.
- In 80km zones, the car was driven at 80km exactly on the speedometer, which is actually 76-77km/h. Under the speed limit, try to hug the left lane or the middle lane.
- At 90-100km/h zones, drive at a maximum of 90km/h.
- Auto steer worked well, and managed it in the rain. The steering felt a little choppy compared to a Tesla.
- Driving with Rain is not good for range but hypermiling can compensate for that.
- With mostly dry and nice road, car should manage 500km, but with good conditions it can achieve 560km.
- Double-glazed windows were present with Acoustic glass used in the front, for noise dampening.
- The best photo angle of the test vehicle is from the rear.
- The reviewer needed to stop for lunch, the vehicle uses 21 inch 255/40R21 wheels.
- As of the end of the drive, the range test resulted in 563.4 km on one charge.
- During a range test, the reviewer measured 73.5 kWh actual capacity.
- At the end of the drive, a 0.7% charge (or 500 Wh) of power remained.
- The car can be super-efficient.
- There are “bailout points” where charging stations are easily accessible.
- The reviewer appreciates the car as spacious, comfortable, and quiet, but there could be more ventilation.
