the lesson it's as if the you don't need to keep a day about other people's goals for the older russian home the 4th time for you the most news in that we can unlock. the bottom of the ballets at the last dragon this word has called the heart of those who used. to agree books are now. people have learned that they can share real estate people have not learned that they can share a car. we are living during the most extraordinary time mystery. transport will go for the electric. and the battle. of the auto and mobility show. car sharing will it save our crowded cities joining us

the new way of the ability that what is car sharing brings more cars into the city that's a pos christe waste could be private car sharing be an alternative or what if you do want your own car fully electric one. is one of these a good challenge going on lecturing and matter of the heart or the mind. today is a great day because i will be testing not only one car but 2 this a i play on cooper aristide or the cooper i take out how do they stack up. sometimes remember for pay like when a girl might just get out and you know you see if they see them flex it up because it drives and uber computer full cape town. life is full of decisions rather well how he would. some of them starting right now.

our cities are packed with cars and the streets are getting fuller. germany alone has 50000000 cars on its roads and naturally gear is set to continue rising use 50000000 cars are used on average one hour a day that's a preposterous way. could carsharing be the answer to that and if so what kind of car sharing. so on doesn't have a car when he does need one he calls up to truro i have to find a privately owned car nearby that is currently not being used. for. the for 1st this option to commercial providers. i mean for the other projects are in service that have to buy or build new cars and we have already so many cars

not enough parking slots and the owners of private cars already have a wall and the number of cars available via the likes of 2 rows on the up. you can hire everything from a no frills compact for 22 euro's to a slick new tesla for 150. we are firmly convinced that the more cars the more privately own cars are available the more families in particular inner cities who are already thinking do i really need a car will consider getting rid of a car because they can always easily book and attract a car for the weekend or even for a day if they should need one. for his little day out son has opted for a high performance wagon. he tracks down the owner nicholas via g.p.s. . gneisenau you. that's the audi you go there

is the key yes thank you. that's through a whole check in process from throw. around the car look at everything you have a very big. nicolas doesn't use his audi on a daily basis and is happy for the car to help pay for its own costs i think you're of advantage as you are able to rent something that's kind of unique and i would say you rent a private car to go a long distance or visit relatives to do it like a little holiday trip the free floating concept is probably more than just you know going to the movies or go see somebody just that quick you know 20 minute drive. 25 percent of the rental price with insurance included customers pay for their own fuel but try the car sharing has yet to really make an impact on the market worldwide total has only around 350000 cars listed and in germany a paltry 5000. by some distance the

most popular concept is one way or free floating harsh air. via an app you can reserve a car in your neighborhood drive it around and drop it off wherever you like the cost in germany $20.00 to $0.30 a minute so easy way to go to other places here it's easy to see convenient to go for example in the evening to a party location party hard and then go back home and you don't have to when you go back home you don't have to care about your own car germany's big 3 carmakers dominate the country's free floating market worldwide mercedes and b.m.w. have over 4000000 customers using their joint share now venture and they've been joined by v.w. which launched its all electric we share system in 2019. the auto giants promote car sharing as a clean mobility solution for cities. joining us the new. way of urban

mobility. according to share now car sharing helps cities to significantly improve problems such as emissions traffic or parking . except that's simply not true as shown in a range of surveys. one study was conducted in cities around germany to determine whether free floating is likely to reduce the volume of privately owned cars in fact the number of drivers owning their own vehicle increased despite car sharing. plus there are the extra vehicles introduced to city streets by commercial providers $20000.00 by b.m.w. and geimer alone. and others are joining the bandwagon with little regard for the environmental impact. these and other factors have seen the number of cars in berlin increased by 100000 a rise of almost 10 percent in 10 years. and that's despite berlin boasting an

excellent public transport system car sharing has taken its toll here too. research has revealed that car sharing users continue to drive their own vehicles to. at the same time they're now riding on trams buses and subway trains less frequently. free floater cars tend to be concentrated in downtown areas the very parts of the city where you could most easily do without a car. the stats show that car sharing users drive 5.8 kilometers on average a distance closer to that typically covered by cyclists than by private car owners . and as they pay by the minute users tend to up their temple so free floating car sharing is not exactly a viable solution to urban mobility issues. private

car sharing could be from families going on a day trip to the countryside to current resists eager to try out a particular model it would mean cars already on the roads being used more efficiently. i think it would be born here in germany i think more about the principle of sharing and not of a car of the status symbol. and more people will get used to. to shout their car with all the people let's hope so right now just 50 percent of people in germany would be willing to share their own car with almost half refusing outright many fear their car getting dirty. smellie the target group each of those with a different mindset we speak to those car owners who basically say yeah it doesn't make sense that i own a car and i like owning a car but honestly i really don't need it all the time either i don't need it on the weekend or i don't need to during the week why don't i share it with others and

then maybe maybe i can make some money with it on the side and subsidize some of my car payments by making that money and plus i think i'm doing something. something that's good and sustainable just makes sense to share. good to have you back a hell of the trip was very nice nice car there for we're checking in with the member of the gas tank that's right where we had a perfect thank you very much. it's not a question of 4 wheels bad as such the vision is a simple one sharing your set of wheels. people have learnt that they can share real estate people have not learnt that they can share a car you know you buy a car and the moment you drive it off the lot from the dealer it's worth half as

much as you paid for it and people sort of have grown up but that's that's normal if you own a car you so have to live without so the main reason why the phenomenon of toro or private car strength isn't yet more widely distributed is just awareness sharing has shifted people's attitudes to their own 4 walls private car sharing is now set to change attitudes to our own 4 wheels and maybe lead to a radical rethink of both urban mobility and property in general. a big issue for electric car owners is where can i fill up how long will it take and how far will that charge take me. but range anxiety doesn't have to spoil the ride. not with these 2 models at least the audi each drawn. and the key is in the aero. although being a much trickly powered is about the only thing they have in common price wise they're certainly in different leagues while the keel will set you back around

$35000.00 euros in germany the audi will cost you at least double that so what do you get for your money. the key comes in a compact as you the body with a length of 4 meters 38 it falls some way short of the open ground land x. but trumps the jeep renegade. despite those compact dimensions the key is still has enough space to sit before adults and the 450 leader trunk beats that of its rivals. have been in a lecture car also means a smaller motor and no transmission or exhaust. thoughts the battery is stowed under the floor all of that frees up more space for passengers and cargo. and as the engine compartment needs precious little cooling the radiator grille is

closed up and dancing the car's aerodynamics. once you're on the road another benefit of the cars becomes rapidly apparent their nice little movers. are nero was fitted with a more powerful 64 kilowatt battery which boosts output to 150 kilowatts and the chunky 395 newton meters of torque are available from the. cells zipping along country roads and overtaking are absolutely no problem. another plus having the battery down under lowers the center of gravity raises the car's road hugging abilities. highways however are not the ideal habitat for electric cars they have an electronically limited top speed in the nero's case 167 kilometers per hour but if you do push the pedal to the match old you'll soon have to think about where the next charging station is. and

that's where there is still a problem for longer journeys germany's autobahn network is hardly a world beater at. to charge up every 300 kilometers could leave you stranded in a supermarket parking lot. but for short urban trips or the daily commute it's not an issue. regenerative braking means that in and around the city your range can easily go up to 450 kilometers. the rate of discharge depends on the station the could get a full charge in half an hour with a capacity of $100.00 kilowatts but often just 11 kilowatts per hour are available . there are a growing number of 50 kilowatt stations translating into a charge time of one hour max not bad at.

that time could drop to under 30 minutes with the audi tron thanks to its $95.00 kilowatt battery added to radical charging capacity of $150.00 kilowatts. but germany needs more charging stations like this one on the outskirts of hamburg it has a maximum rate of $350.00 kilowatts. the question is why is this 1st class facility located next to a garden center that some people think about it wasn't our idea the operator liked the location so much they built the biggest facility they could here we have to highways right by our door and we're in hamburg but right on the southern edge so we have highways to braman and hanover right close by. we go on a trip around hamburg in the ality which is a completely different experience to the t.r. . well the new orleans plenty of the tranny is a powerhouse with

a curb weight of 2 and a half tons it's some 700 kilos heavier than the key. on the other hand. and you can enjoy the benefits of a fantastically constructed body and air suspension. the audi positively glides along. as with any car energy consumption rises exponentially with your speed and the audi engineers made a massive effort especially with the aerodynamics for example among the optional extras are outside new york cameras which extend your range by up to 4 kilometers and are a source of pride for the designers it's just one reason to try designing these virtual wing mirrors was a huge challenge what really made it fun was having to have this element fitted on to every show car over the last 10 or 15 years but never being able to introduce the mirror production models. and what it challenge of was the

team had to keep the mirrors lens protected from dirt and using a special wind tunnel the aerodynamics were optimized to ensure that it remained unobstructed even in heavy rain. saving energy and areas was the priority for the hourly engineers including the brakes each france telecom's with conventional brakes but in 90 percent of cases slows down using the electric motors the effect is like that of regular brakes meanwhile the energy from d. celebration is automatically fed back into the batteries. and the results are impressive in regular traffic conditions away from the highway the audi could just about reach 450 kilometers on the one charge. economy is calculated in kilowatt hours in the case of archaea around 20 per 100 kilometers with the audi

it's around 30 kilowatts and no wonder not one but 2 motors for all wheel drive and an output of 300 kilowatts make it a power guzzler so. what does this electricity cost not an easy $1.00 to answer given the different computation models on our trip it ranged from 0 at a public charging station to $0.64 per kilowatt the latter would translate into 19 year olds for 100 kilometers for the audi nothing to sneeze at. overall we found the key and even the euro to be a very well made e-car the big drawback is that there's a waiting list of almost a year the audi is tricky sure there's the outstanding comfort factor making a bad deal for long journeys but there's room for improvement on the charging front one thing applies equally to both the only genuinely clean if the power comes from renewable sources. of.

a different kind of winter sports taking a julep see us for a spin in the swiss alps. today is a great day because i will be testing not only one car but true and the through of these are same same but different what does that mean we're going to find out in a minute. when 3 conditions make it tough for manufacturers to find suitable locations to show off their car. that's why they choose places like this one right here in davos switzerland where the weather is good. place to have some fun in the snow. that came about with lower at the front end of a brand of say and then like splits off from say and the cars following well then

just called cobra like the cool broad take that i'm going to test later on but now for this one it's. r s t and i must say it's really fun to drive 300 horsepower a 2 liter t.s.i. engine 221 kilowatts really nice i mean i can't like put the pedal to the medal right here because as you can tell the streets are snowy and that will be quite dangerous but we'll going to have the possibility to check out the cool r s t on a close trick later on and then we can maybe put it to its paces really looking forward to that. so let's go. see all wheel drive comes in super handy on the icy snowy grow. a little push on the gas going into

a curve in the leone starts to shake it's food. 400 new meters of tour to kill your own from 0 to 104.9 seconds at least if you screw traction each speed tops out at 250 kilometers an hour but that should definitely be enough for almost every driving situation. so right now we're sitting in the car the cooper a take out this was also the 1st model. after becoming a bread on its own last take it has the same power. of course because it's the same engine and both got that engine from the b w a g t i. it's

almost as much fun to drive. on cool. but it's a loose slow up not really noticeable and i think the team even hospices. and what you do notice though is that the car leans to the outer side of the curve you're driving in if you're driving a little faster it's clear because you have to cut it's higher then than they are but it's still and it's still ok. just likely only i'll take it also has all wheel drive on top of that it's a quick thing you need to build 7 speed jule clutch transmission is standard equipment. at a base try some around 44000 euros it's about 6000 euros cheaper than the old was when it was launched. great. really

really great my verdict on both i like them really much both of them but if i had to choose one it would be the wrong reason being station wagons and if i want to drive a sporty car then i also want to sit close to the road this is not given in the it's clear as an s.u.v. but i think i'll just leave this one aside and then take this one for another 6. for those who want to do their part to protect the environment cooper will be launching its high performance plug in hybrid s.u.v.s for mentor by the end of 2020 . minutes just to. see places like that yes and extend.

my. i mean you got that right get out. trophies my horse and i got. a foot of dirty tricks in basic human that 2009 after that we're i think somewhere on $2814.00 i switched to. becoming more popular. so. now we're getting to the government center where i used a part of it as every tactics and that i as you can see this is one of the texas pardon for active so. it's one of those that i use of that i have.

the right track record. in the state to come but i doubt people i'm not going to their traditionally tactics used because what they have is become good in all business that's why they fight when they see it and they can buy drive or they pray and you know i pack you something that used to very very well but doesn't get it because it's separate. it's. i know you call it faith of peace and you know. no always have a can. it's nice to get to meet lots of people of different people but also in this impact sometimes it's you know you don't know when you pick it up and sometimes the chances of being robbed of being engaged or
