we may think cold water supplies will last forever but. when the rainstorm. starts march 20th on t.w. . people have learned that they can share real estate people have not learned that they can share a car since. we are living during the most extraordinary time history. of transport will go for the electric cut. cut. and mobility single. car sharing will it save our crowded cities join us

the new wave of urban mobility and what is car sharing brings more cars into the city that's a pos trust waste could be private car sharing be an alternative or what if you do want your own car a fully electric one. this one intrusion a challenge going on the tricks and matter of the heart or the mind. today is a great day because i will be testing not only one car but it's true to say i play on cooper aristide or the cooper the take out how do they stack up. sometimes when i'm not ok in a down i just to be you know they've seen faces been selected out because it drives an urgent beautiful cape town. my fist full of decisions read will help you would see. starting right now.

our cities are packed with cars and the streets are getting fuller. germany alone has 50000000 cars on its roads and that figure 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 share. a. song doesn't have a car when he does need one he calls up the truro app 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 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 the no frills compact for 22 euro's to a slick new tesla for 150. from the convinced that the more cars the more privately own cars are available the more families in particular in inner cities who are already thinking do i really need a car. getting rid of a car because they can always easily book an attractive car for the weekend or even for a day if they should need one. for his little day out sun has opted for a high performance wagon. he tracked down the owner nicholas via g.p.s. . it's. nice to have you. that saudi you go there

is the key thank you. that's 2 whole chicken process from yeah we'll go around the car look at everything you have a very good. nicholas doesn't use his audi on a daily basis and he's 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 was probably more than just you know go to the movies or go see somebody just the quick you know 20 minute drive tour learns 25 percent of the rental price with insurance including customers pay for their own fuel but try the car sharing has yet to really make an impact on the market worldwide tural 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 it's convenient to go for example in the evening to a party to occasion party hard and then go back home if 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 29000. 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 di moore 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 statue 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 tempo so free floating car sharing is not exactly a viable solution to urban mobility issues. private

car sharing could be from families go in a day trip to the countryside to current to zeerust eager to try out a particular model it would mean cars already on the roads being used more efficiently. i think of the be born here in germany i think more by. the principle of sharing and not of a car of the status the more. and more people will get used to. to shout that 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. the target group is those with the 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 the 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 hey i was a truck was very nice nice car you're pretty we're checking in there to remember 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 division is a simple one sharing your set of wheels. people have learned that they can share real estate people have not learned 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 he 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 sharing isn't yet more widely distributed is just aware of all sharing his shifty 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. the issue for electric car owners is. how long will it take and how far will that charge take me. but range anxiety doesn't have to spoil in the ride. not with these 2 models at least the audi each drawn. and the t. a even near 0. although being so much a cli coward 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 body with a length of 4 meters 38 it follows some way short of the opel grand land x. but trumps the jeep renegade. despite those compact dimensions the key is still has enough space to sit for adults and the 450 leader trunk beats that of its rivals. then your electric car also means a smaller motor and no transmission or exhaust. plus the battery is stowed under the floor all of that frees up more space for passengers and cargo. and is the engine compartment needs precious little cooling the radiator grille is

closed up and hence in 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 $64.00 kilowatt battery which boosts output to $150.00 kilowatts and the chunky 395 newton meters of torque are available from the off 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 haven't electronically limited top speed in the nero's case 106. 7 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 having 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. could get a full charge in half an hour with a capacity of $100.00 kilowatts but often just 11 kilo once per hour are available . there are a growing number of 50 kilowatt stations translating into a charge time of one hour max not that.

that time could drop to under 30 minutes with the out each one thanks to its $95.00 kilowatt battery and a theoretical 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. it wasn't our idea that the operator liked the location so much they built the biggest facility they could hear 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 audi which is a completely different experience to the. well the new role is pretty nippy 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 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 mirror cameras which extend your range by up to 4 kilometers and are a source of pride for the designers it's just one of these you get chances on in 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 mirrors to production models. who could. challenge of was the

team had to keep the mirrors lens protected from dirt and using a special wind tunnel the aerodynamics were off to mines to ensure that it remained unobstructed even in heavy rain. saving energy and all areas where is the priority for the audi engineers including the brakes each one still comes with conventional brake just putting 90 percent of cases slows down using the electric motors the effect is like that of regular brakes meanwhile the energy from the 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 $300.00 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 $9000.00 euros for a 100 kilometers for the audi nothing to sneeze at. overall we found the key in 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 it ideal for long journeys but there's room for improvement on the charging front but 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 few up see us for a spin in the swiss alps. today is a great day because i will be testing not only one car but 2 and those who have these are the same same but different what does it mean we're going to find out in a minute. wintry conditions make it tough for manufacturers to find suitable locations to show off their cars. that's why they choose places like this one right here in davos switzerland where the weather is good a nice place to have some fun in the snow. really. cool brother came out with a lower. from then on the brand of see ads and then like splits off from say and

the cars following well then just called cool probably like the cool broad take that i'm going to test later on but now for this one it's the same on r s t and i must say it's really fun to drive 300 horsepower to lead a 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 all snowy and that will be quite dangerous but we'll going to have the possibility to check out the cool prop r s t on a close track later on and then we can maybe put it to its paces really looking forward to that. soon let's go. to. the all wheel drive comes in super heavy on the ice each snow we grow. a little push on the gas going to occur in the early on starts to shake each hoody. 400 new

meters of tour to kill the old from 0 to 104.9 seconds at least if you screw traction it 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 that's cool after becoming a brand on its own last. take i asked the same power. of course because it's the same engine and both got that engine from b.w. . i.

think it's almost as much fun to drive as the leon cooper. but it's. not really noticeable and i think the team even half a 2nd what you do notice though is that the car leans to the outer side of the curfew of driving and if you're driving a little faster it's clear because it's higher than the neon but it's still it's still ok. just likely only i take it also has all wheel drive on top of that it's equipped with a newly developed 7 speed jewel clutch transmission is standard equipment. at a base price of around $44000.00 euros it's about $6000.00 euros cheaper than the old was when it was launched. great.

really really great my verdict on both cars i like them really much both of them but if i had to choose one it'd be really all reason being station wagons and if i want to drive a sporty car then i also want to sit low close to the road this is not given in the take it's clear that it's an s.u.v. but i think i'll just leave this one aside and then take this one for another spin . 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. for mentor by the end of 2020. sometimes when. it is down i just. see places it's like that

happy for me to use and extend. my know he's a man who got that right. trophy is my horse my. tricks and bake him that 2009 i mean after that there are some around 24 teeth i switched to. becoming more popular. so. i was getting to the government center where i used a profit as every tactics and i as you can see this is one of the taxes i have been practicing so. since one of them. that i use of that i have.

the right track record. in the state to come out and people i'm not going to their traditional me tactics because what they have is so become good and i'll be that's why they fight when they see it. happening but i have a party that you know i thank you all something. i just did a very good very. good because. it's. i know you or i focus and i don't. know always have a purpose here. it's nice you get to meet lots of people lots of different people but also a big impact sometimes it's you know you don't know when you pick it up and do it

sometimes 3 times and so being robbed of the next leg with something of the sort you know that's. that's the downside of. this into classical music you know and kept telling you. we get that on find music radio 1.3 so. makes me kind of mind traffic you know they played nice glasgow music that so it makes things simple for me and. you know most people also believe the clothes that i take they like it or the discipline extend. must be the same or it calms them you know any morning when i sing for the meetings or whatever . i mean. it's a beautiful thing to everyone else that i found out you know i have different people from any country perform over the way they always say the same thing that it's one of the best she. and look. for comment

on this matter. if you feel it is all the way you know who. i'm fearful see to. enjoy yourself eddie and see you all next time on grab. her.
