you know for the subtlety and lots of cats and delicate. topic is population. and young people clearly have the solutions the future belongs. to some of these 70 percent really on d.w. know. more about stuff like this. global. we are living during the most extraordinary time history. of transport people before the electric cut. him about the red also and the.

leak. with hans on with it is he said what if electric cars catch fire. are all right. electric cars and they're pit bulls time for elephant talk point check. ride the mustang. but now it's old enough to trade on that sold old. dog so maybe it's a little relief the return of the legends. dog bad at all i've already heard worse cells from all the electrical. fire away for the ability of the future. it's time to recharge your back. right now.

have found. out. today we have a ride in a ride in the thing all new for. the hall. as the name suggests this mustang is fully electric it's available with one or 2 electric motors and rear wheel drive and up to $351.00 horsepower. so right now we're standing on a small airfield with grip that specially for us and now we can test acceleration we have right here. right now with 51 horsepower makes the 0 to 100 in 6 seconds that's.

yeah yeah i mean that's quite good. of course. and there will also be a faster one. that will be g.t. version that will feature $400.00 horsepower that will propel it to $100.00. 4 seconds and i'm excited to see that. will launch in europe at the end of 2021. the general driving impression in the car is pretty good i mean considering that this is just a regular chassis with dampers and stuff sometimes you feel a little all in all that it's quite a pleasant experience. to drive. you can change if you tap on the small car right. and there you can choose between

the whisper and on a. mountain as the name suggests sports set up and you will hear that by the sound it's reminds me of that ph challenge you get from your regular day but it's just not the same it's just another official sound. but it's bad at all i've already heard words sounds from all the electric cars and there's a musician all there that like that sound so much he made a song about it. you put a road. funding son to the. mustang electric it's a new thing it's a new breed. and

if you want to go on the taint don't let all the fishes sound activated in the menu right here and then just feel like this and the way. on tamed mode gives you sharper steering that hand strong response and the feeling of downshifting when you. whisper gives you maximum comfort. and active mode and driving style for every day use. the profile you feed and if you drink well a black group because of the black color you will not recognize this part of the car he makes the roof lying down deeper than it actually does and then you have to throw off the original nothing but if you look at it goes on you will see the. with

higher or lower parts which stated in brackets well it's low or so on and all the car is way higher than the original mustang. i have to say i really like the interior i hear it way better than all the forth i've driven lately of course as you would expect from a car of the future yeah big fans of the touch screen but you can also operate quite a few things via the steering wheel for example here lameness this can be activated by a simple button at the steering wheel which is pretty nice you don't have to search for this in the touchscreen menus and what i really like is the spaces that you find right here for your smartphone wakin also charging the wireless the and right down here you can put a bottle of something that's a really neat and also the integration of the mag and oldest in sound system which looks like if you can right here it's done pretty nicely so i like it.

even though this is a coupe a half decent headroom and also quite a nice leg to compare to your regular mustang is that pretty roomy called a hand $54.00 to $5.00 people out of. a thing that is pretty cool design wise if you mission off your regular door handle which makes the car looks bleaker i really like its you have a little handle right here where you can pull the door but you actually don't need it because if you press this button the door will pop open and then you can step in and. there's just one thing that i was wondering about because most of you probably remember here in germany and also in a lot of other countries around the walls in the last few weeks it got pretty pretty cold and one day i got out and my cargo was frozen shot and i have to use quite that all a force on the handle to open up the door but in the back right. here you don't

have any handle so if you press. and the door is frozen then it won't actually open up my story kids no ride for you today walking. if you want. you can simply. mean. it's not as hard. but it's way more then for example. if you take your foot off the accelerator it will take the car to a complete stop. a usual behavior. of electric driven. creeping speed instead. she different batteries are available for the marquis

providing ranges of 402600 kilometers. angry i mean do you remember. what i expect. to see. and. what i expected was a coupe. and once again what i was. anyway. complaining about you can't change so i just enjoy the ride. ok ok i can. choose the thing i mean. 960. 968.

personal favorite eleanor shelby g.t. 500. 60 seconds with nicolas cage when the movie came out i was 12 years old and i. was sure one day i would drive such a car. well i didn't think about money. unfortunately. i think they simply should have named ford mackey that's a good name why did they have to use the mustang and the internet and you would call this click for me. look. day. little move. me but once you're here check this out. that big you can have all the things you need on one page so you have the navigation you have the radio or whatever you might listen to bluetooth.

and climate control right here you can operate it while you're driving because you can put your finger right here and then like that so you won't miss it if you drive over some bombs so that's ok of course you can also add your phone. while see if your device and force. him be charged with up to $150.00 kilowatts with quite good in this segment and depending on the battery size it will then take to 45 minutes to refill the battery to 80 percent if it was almost empty. only 10 minutes of charging can give you 119 kilometers of range. so my final verdict on. the car still not satisfied with the name i think they

should have named it back to me. but then again if the only thing that bulbous you about a car is its name then it must be a damn good car and the black lead definitely is a good car the celebration is nice the handling is life the price is ok and the info table system right here is up to date and i really like the functions that you can use so all in all very good they would have deserved it's only. prices for the ford mustang marquee in germany started just under $47000.00 euros. while the extended range of all wheel drive version we tested cost just under $63000.00.

even tesla have all had serious issues with batteries burning or overheating. but for kerry right not how scared should we be about all these electric cars and their batteries time for by going fact check. these catch fire faster. the good news it's not true if anything better even being nice are actually safer than their oil burning foreignness the bad news when lithium ion batteries do blur and they really burn. doesn't matter if it's because of a crash overheating or a short circuit of burning batteries can settle for a chain reaction with its neighboring sal's and there are hundreds in the average even the battery pack can get an email down. the libyan ion batteries produce their own oxygen within the battery case and the fire came growth throughout the battery

by using the heat from the thermal runaway in the oxygen that's being produced within the battery so at this point the really the only effective way for rescuers to stop that thermal runaway is to cool that battery down enough for the thermal runaway to sea and this takes a tremendous amount of water and of course the tremendous amount of water is also tremendously content in a good so if it's not very cool to throw bathtubs of water on a burning e.-v. why not just dump the whole of burning e.-v. in a big bath tub of water. could we submerge a vehicle into a bath of water it's possible that we will create further thermal runaway in other areas of the battery areas where we may not have had fire in the 1st place so right now there's a lot of people trying a lot of different techniques yet it seems there is no peer and simple way of dealing with a battery fire. and even when the fire gets under control the car and its battery

are essentially hazardous waste and there have to be more. conditions because there is still a chance they could reignite. but then again it's not even clear where the battery in evy is. sort of kind of this is the what you know he said the near mt you know we're going to have to see a good business i mean they freeze i want to brine or does all this build a bridge and this is the what you have you do your you wouldn't want to. be beautiful be it. this is yours and he's a man. from move. so i was you know on the war was we not was on the on to point. the in my own batteries are bad

for the environment. to me please she learned well let me i lift extra seriously impacting the local fresh water supplies with potentially catastrophic consequences for the region. and then there is a cold war most of those key components comes from congo and it's estimated a 3rd of that comes from andre related or in the new mines with poor working conditions and even child labor. is a p.r. disaster for carmakers hoping to rebrand themselves as forces for it to laci and social good can elect we. must not be worse than the conventional and that's why we are 1st in this industry to have a close look at the whole supply chain. to avoid child labor in the discovery of

all. the destruction off the environmentalists ok but what does that actually mean if you have w d ourselves. and if you are from. australia and we. feel the material it's not. the stock exchange it's all these materials we find them directly from the mine the research where they are brought to the surface and then we hand them over to our production german comm a girls are moving to was more sustainable battery production and reducing dependence on asian suppliers in fact the european union is backing a consortium of firms to cover the anti a battery supply chain from start to finish including recycling which brings us to the next point. to reach degrade too quickly and then are useless and that is the

big worry is the battery impact is the most expensive part of any really you do not want to fail it can make us tend to offer better guarantees of about 8 to 15 years but if god or we have that no one can say how long for sure any plans on how you use it of course charging had a snail's pace at home we're not where things out as much as replicate you see charging. the battery is not strong enough to run a car any law can get a 2nd life as a better power station for us that belies in sour grapes when the cells are finally fright they can be recycled but that's complicated and expensive right the german company do in this case it can recycle more than 90 percent of the needle battery check this out. because. there are so many battery types the 1st sorting

process has to be done by hand then the components get crushed and separated. there's really. gratified to produce a new battery. it's not industrial scale recycling yet but with the amount of batteries needed to power the meat revolution there has to be a solution. here's a confessor to tell you what the future of all batteries could look like. for example we're working on a solid state we'll see a range of new battery technologies that meet these criteria cost less to produce and above all offer a better performance to weight ratio. that actually a song from a thing for the future but why don't people here in germany still. you might find in the range isn't good enough if they had better range i would switch

over completely for the whole but i travel to places where there are no charging stations or here i can't use this new station that would see telecom there and i don't have an electric car because it's too expensive it's a class with a gun i'd like to drive one of the problem is the charging stations we can't get one installed. i think used to feed my i'm actually quite satisfied except in the winter when it gets cold the car does not really will matter my feet are always comes to the market so will you really start coming with. just kidding range anxiety is the big thing and here is surely something we all can agree on. there aren't enough to be charging stations. there certainly are. enough in

germany that's why the german government is putting up 400000000 euros to fund tome charging stations that ronald green energy power so what if you get stuck. i checked out an ingenious start up on the outskirts locally and it can charge your car even when you're miles from the next electricity so. you could put your a charging station on a greenfield site for example couldn't you just recap we need no connection for the group like this legal system we produce the electricity inside also stuff with means we have a generator group that is fueled up with bio attack and from all in the next step we are changing the combustion to you from all but it's a different thing and this is made from god which also from plastic weighs in the only basis from has 150 kilograms and the future of the system will double the energy that means the next mr will have 300 megawatts.

ok so let's try out this 80 percent can do 150 k. w. let's see what. ok i can say something is going on here so we will see how long it will take. the battery out what before he noted in one of our bets kind of fast so at a low voltage a seems so that means that you would know it at home in a private house it would have needs 40 hours so much much more than this year it's a really cool invention. but there is no way it will be enough to charge the

$10000000.00 u.v.'s that germany could well have by 2030. what happened when all those cars with their huge energy requirements hooked up to the national grid and the same time there's one. future. it is also possible that in the electric car not only takes electricity from the electric grid but it can also. store electricity thanks in $2.00 to $3.00 and that has the advantage that the unfortunates in the electric grid and the smaller when you have all the electric cars as wow that is a future i want to be part of which brings up our last point. what about the beauty here of b.b.'s. it

looks like there are some very critical issues around the production and powering on battery these but there is also a lot of effort going into this folding those problems. still are electric cars the only way out of the climate crisis or are they just another big hype. that serves from the old we're going to see self driving cars and there will be service providers who will place a car at my disposal at the click of a mouse i won't have to worry about me what sort of repairs or washing the car i probably won't even want to own a car because i can choose whether i want a small car to get into town or a bigger one for the shopping or holiday there's many more options there will be exciting surprises in the completely new world of mobility now there is food for thought who needs to actually own a car anymore it just turns around i'm used for most of the time. anyway. maybe we

should talk about that too. hope you like the radio it was great chatting to you and don't forget still subscribe if you want to see more from read by. all you hold so hard on the ability of the future will recharge your batteries again next week right here on grand view that.
