Video Summary
Here is a summary of the provided YouTube review video for an electric car:The review features the new Skoda Enyaq 85 Coupe, painted Race Blue, with a bigger battery and the 4.0 software enabling battery preconditioning. The video is supported by West End Garage in Edinburgh. The reviewer drives to Stafford, which is between four to five hours. He will rely on the car's built-in route planner so that he can test its preconditioning capabilities at the Ioniq charging station in Carlisle. He’s never driven this Enyaq coupe before and will use it "as he finds it."
Features found on the model:
- The vehicle has a 4.0 software, so he doesn’t use his other route planning tools.
- The battery can be pre-conditioned to get to the high kilowatts faster with the Ioniq charger.
The car is currently 94% charged.
He plans to arrive in Stafford with 18% remaining.
He had to add Ioniq Carlisle as a charging point so he didn’t have to stop beforehand.
At Ioniq, Carlisle, he warmed the battery.
It predicted it would charge at 40 kilowatts and it charged at 72kW.
It was also noted that the matrix headlights are excellent.
At 71% charge, the car charges at 103-104kW.
The car is 150 kg heavier than his original version.
The reviewer's own car, at the same speed and trip, would register 3.6 miles per kilowatt.
That is a mile more than the one he’s testing.
The lack of a head-up display on this model made the reviewer miss the features of his previous one. It is part of a 2000 pound addition now, whereas it was only a 600 pound option.
The car had its battery preconditioned before getting there and it was charging at 121kW instead of 40 kW.
At the end of the charge, after approximately 26 minutes of charging, the car battery’s charge rose to 90%. He barely had time to finish his small sandwich.
At arrival at Stafford, there was 19% remaining.
He considers this a really good prediction.
It shows up on the screen a bar as to how the vehicle is predicted to charge, based on the battery's conditions. As the trip progresses, this progresses to the right.
There is a major difference on the charging of this vehicle compared to his personal vehicle.
The car can do 165 miles out of the existing 251 miles predicted.
It’s on the way to Stafford, and gives his first thoughts, as part 1 of this review.
