Video Summary
Here is the summary of the electric car review from the YouTube video:- The car does not accelerate like a Tesla, but it is not the same kind of car.
- A primary disappointment is the lack of preconditioning on the battery for optimal charging. The company is aware, with a fix planned for the 2024 models.
- There are ways to work around the preconditioning issue.
- To get the maximum charge rate of 120 kW, the battery should be below 15% state of charge and above 23 degrees when charging starts.
- Yo-yo driving can be done to increase the batter temperature, and thus raise the charge rate.
- The head-up display and adaptive regen are highlights.
- It can be a reliable, solid family car, used for normal commutes and family trips.
- It needs servicing every two years, regardless of mileage. The reviewer's last service came in at around two hundred pounds, by using a specialist service.
- The car gets 4-5 miles per kilowatt hour.
