Video Summary
Okay, here's the summary of the YouTube video review of the electric car:- This is a review of the 2018 e-Golf with a 35.8-kilowatt battery.
- On the test route, average speed is approximately 70-80 kilometers per hour.
- The state of charge indicator is inaccurate.
- Cold weather impacted charging speeds and the reviewer was concerned the battery wouldn’t be warm enough to maintain normal charging speeds.
- The consumption was relatively high due to colder temperatures (-6 to -10 degrees C)
- Higher speeds heat up the battery, and that could have long-term issues.
- The average speed for the 1,000 kilometer trip was approximately 67 kilometers per hour.
- It takes 35 minutes to achieve an 80% charge.
- Past 400-500 kilometers, charging becomes slower.
- The cold impacts the aerodynamics because ice dimples build up on the roof and hood
- 1,000 km took 15 hr 50 min.
- The reviewer ultimately finds that the new Leaf is a better long-range vehicle.
