a holiday destinations drowning in plastic weiss, we, we, wine and take a look at the causal every year. your other exports are 1000000 tons of plastic with there. another way. after all, the environment isn't to recyclable. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines ah, a day on read, the auto and mobility show the key, b, 6, gd, test it b. b terms explained. an albanian obsession with the 3 pointed star. with

the key 86 is one impressive electric vehicle, which is why when it's 40 or sibling, the v 6 g t was announced. there were plenty of expectations. rad lewis capital put it through its paces on road and track in sweden. hi guys. welcome to rec. today i'm here with kyo with the new e, b 6, g t. this is the fastest kia ever built, and how drives we are going to find out today. like the high and i onyx 5 and the regular e v 6 d t version is also built on high you and dies electric global modular platform.

looking in this because when you hit the exhilarates, you get instant power and punch you back in the seat, which is really on. the other thing i really like about the v 6 z t is that you can drive pretty solid and carlos because they this is up the back of the kia and they've precisely changed the steering on the front axle. so you get a lot of grip in corners, which is pretty nice and the big s u v like this. but it doesn't even feel as heavy as it is. the d 6 g t weighs 2.2 time, but it's adopted chassis active role stabilization and ground clearance reduced by 5 millimeters and sure that it's good on the road. it comes to powered by a 77.4 kilowatt hour battery with 424 kilometers of frames. you get everything in full, a take 3.5 seconds from 0 to 100 and the top speed of 260 kilometers

a pretty impressive and we're going to find out by ourselves now. mm. oh, yeah, that walks forward. i mean, it's another 3.5 seconds. i think it's about 3.2 seconds as they tested. and that is really impressive for me for such a big and heavy s u v. like the v 6, g t the v 6 g t is powered by 2 electric motors. a 160 kilowatt motor in front, and a brand new 270 kilowatt motor at the rear, which he uses a 2 state inverter that contributes to the machine's quick response. for driving fast with the v 6 g t he on the racetrack it's really fun, but you should always drive it as well on the streets and therefore we are going

into stockholm. we are driving into sweden and we're going to have a look how this car drives in every day. behavior says g, t stands for ground, theresa mo, or grand tour. it should come as no surprise that the easy 6 g t allowance for comfort and performance are plenty even on long distance drives. and helping things along is the fact that it to gets key as 800 volt technology treatment. which means that at the fast charging stations, it's better we can go from 10 to 80 percent in just 10 minutes. so let's talk about the general driving impression. and after say the kia evie 6 t t really drives comfortable and relaxing. he on the streets. you don't even feel holds, you don't even feel bombs. and it's really relaxing to drive here in sweden. the only down point for me here is that these streets are so narrow and these lanes are

so narrow that the lane keeping assistant often just recognizes one lane. and so he just pushes you some times in one direction, which doesn't feel so good. as far as energy recovery goes, this kia comes with a multi stage recuperation option for up to $150.00 kilowatts can be recovered. it also has one pedal mode which help save energy. so what's the difference between the e v 6 and the v 6 g t? yeah, the v 6 is the whole different car. i would say here change the suspension here. they changed the brakes. they upgraded the power, they changed quite a lot in here. so the car feels less feels like a different car to me and it's got an impressive performance figures. we're talking about numbers like 3.5 seconds from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour. we

are talking about figures like from a posh tie, can s, for example, i mean, and it's double the price the tie can as, as double the price of the e v 6, g t. so why should you buy a tie? can s if the v 6 g t has the same figures are almost the same figures as this car. i mean, i don't see the reason any more because i get a lot of driving pleasure and a lot of fun driving this car right now. so why shouldn't i save my money there and go for the v 6 g teens debt? and while this car might not be as pretty as a fortune or ref, tester was still impressed. so let's talk about the design of the e v 6, and i have to say, i really like it from the outside. i think a little sporty. it looks good to me and i really like the inside. i think it looks

futuristic with this to digital. this place right here and the infotainment with a quick touch response. i really like it. and the i toggle symbols which you can change though you can operate while driving what you need. the 60 t can seems an average of 20.6 kilowatt hours. however, this consumption value increases significantly if you want to have a lot of fun in the kia, my car tester today, which means the harder you are on the accelerator, the faster the range drops. but in the machine this big on fine, it's pretty hard to resist to matching the paddle. so guys, now my final verdict to the kia e v 6 g t. i think it's a really fun car to drive. it's so powerful, but in the same way relaxing. and i think it's a good way kia got this e v 6 g t. now because it's not even 6 anymore,

it's complete new car prices for the kia, easy, 6 t t start at around $70000.00 euros. in germany worth it if you're looking to go electric and want to have a bit of fun behind the wheel. but keep in mind, a heavy right foot might see that range drop quickly. if you're not careful. today we're going to tell you exactly how to get your e d terms, right? there's a lot of confusing information about electron mobility out there. so maybe you heard about m pairs, loyalty rewards kilowatt hour, whatever. we want to give you the details you need to know to be pd. read. there are various types of freebies on the market. when most people talk about these, they mean battery electric vehicles of b, e b. like this tesla, i'm driving a d, v as a pulley elected v good, which has a battery where dos all that energy and this battery can be loaded again and again

by charging it. now let's understand the common terms most v vi driver says every day. so let's start with kilowatt hours, a german with a sausage. what the stereotype. so imagine this is your e v battery. the amount of meet in that sausage is equal to the amount of energy stored in the battery. so this is considered kilowatt hours. for example, the tesla comes with a 77 kilowatt hour battery. now let's talk about kilowatts. so when you look at the sausage, the meet needs to go into the casing. the rate of what the meat is going into. the sausage is equal to that rate of what the energy is flowing into the battery. and that is what is called kilowatts in germany. you're most likely to find 11 kilowatt charges in cities in smaller towns or the countryside. you find up to 50 kilowatt

charges. and on highways you'll find charges with an average of $3.50 kilowatt correct. now let's talk about m p s. this isn't a term that you are going to worry about it most extra under charging stations, but it doesn't matter if you're trying to charge your e v at home adrienne and plucked once the amount of current going through the wire, close and passed through an employer is a unit of measure of electric current, and you need to know how many empath lang can take to prevent damaging the line or the device in this case an electric vehicle. otherwise, this is the consequence. a burnt socket all worse, but now on towards the force you to push. the current was, quote, was actually the thick of the cable. the more was the more empath possible voice have an influence on charging speed, a lot of ease, including the tesla model,

3 performance charge with $400.00 voice technology. but some e v manufacturer, like he approach an audi, a switching to 800 word technology through an able even faster charge thinking about charging, even if you ever one now i sometimes people take out their very own cable and plug it into the charger or sometimes they pull out the cable from the charger and into the car is related to to more very important e v terms. so a, c and d. c charging this, for example is ac charging a fee for alternating current as how energy is usually supplied. but dc or direct current is the energy that at least a took the key capable of taking. so usually when you take a cable out of your car and plug it into a charger, what you're doing is taking alternating current and sending it into the car where the cost convert that changes it to direct current for the battery to store. but when you take the cable straight out of the charger,

you usually sending direct currents straight into the cost battery because a conversion happens within the external charge. so logically, this is usually much faster. i've just finished my charging had an ac charge with a type 2 cable. you wonder what type 2 cable is? stay tuned for next. how to 43. 4445. i was up now is 103 mercy. just at this intersection here. i travel to albania and looked high and low for and since as to why it has more messy, dispenses per capita than anywhere else. ah, a legend has a dead sunny albania. as proclivity for mosquitoes began in the ninety's after the

communist bloc crumbled. as i discovered deb was only half the story, some secrets have just been very well kept. ref hunter for clues for that might explain albania is mosquito obsession. ah, what better place to start than the capital? to run home to around 500000 people with and boasting and notorious mercy this club soon. they are madly in love with the w $120.00 or produce between the mid eighty's and the end of the ninety's. and eventually marketed as the eclipse with slick old machines dead look, brand new tricks out in every respect. and with more than

a few special features. ah, oh, doesn't work if you, if you do that and traffic move? no, no, no. as it is impossible, a good there are 3 such claps and albania would well over a 100 members who travel to meet from all over the country. with wide this model because it looks cool. oh wow. yeah, it looks cool and it's more unusable here in obeying of that it's made just for for fun. oh out and tells me these carts i usually and garages but went out. they shine bright. classical thing i got is yes, they're covered and vaseline to make sure the tires don't look use almost for doors . classical cars, sulisaga thing, actually with the club members on the streets. it's really hard to guess how many

benson? they're on to ronna. so i decided to check for myself. bound, make it 10 minutes, st. county at starting. now. ok. one hour. i'm lucky to have a good is 1345. there's general here. laces. driving. what's wrong here? a well, there's in my book. read 40. now read 40, what is it? $42.00 gun. 43444546 blunt from with 440. hey phil, the german number flags time is up now. is 100 streamers. here, just at this intersection here, i would say it's not that actually time to figure out exactly how many mosquitoes cars, really ply the streets of albania. so i visit the vehicle registration department and to run up. they definitely know the numbers. i'm often there

approximately 740000 registered vehicles and albania, of which 212000 are benches in terms of percentage that's approximately 29 to 30 percent, which is the share that mercedes benz has in the albanian remarket this to this with the wrong every 3rd car on albanian streets as a mosquitoes most a 2nd hand folded and 10 years. but arbin says this large market share is dwindling . in part because to combat air pollution, albania has bent the import of cars that are older than 10 years. and don't meet europe for standards but with so many more citizens dotting albania streets. i asked myself where it all began. let's deep dive into albanian history. to a time when dictator and the hodge, i ruled the country and the best place to explore a communist history. and to rana is the central blocker neighborhood what is not home to entertainment, tourism. and of course,

night life was back down the premises of envoy hodgen and his gang. i would only very few people knew is actually that his favorite go to car was a german class. albanians were bent from using private cars and, and the ha wanted to be seen as a man of the people which we now know was an elaborate masquerade. his luxury german saloon, which no longer runs, is now parked in an old garage in toronto. i'm meeting with amelia pony, who today watches over one of the dictators best kept secrets. and this is like the little flag dis, mercy to 600 or a w 100 type. pullman was manufactured in 1966 and was custom made and personalized for roger. the price back down is equivalent to around $200000.00 euros to day.

why is it not in the museum? no, thank you. it's important and it would be great if there was a museum for such vehicles here. nature for vehicles that belong to the personalities of the past, geological huh. it would also be beneficial in terms of maintaining the machine's physical because without proper cars storage, the condition of such cars simply deteriorates. furthermore, hodge only covered about 7000 kilometers and a car in 17 years, mostly on trips out of town, and to its vacation spots. after all this, mercedes was a state secret over thank upper doors if say in fact he didn't use the car very much of as if it's just because he was smart and knew that it was too stark, a contrast to the lives of the people who were at the time, extremely poor that they would notice that's my he always walked from his villa to his office. and this car was hardly ever seen by the common people at the time.

hopefully, the not go to get a full picture. we need to look at the history of albania. after world war 2 and the hall judge ruled socialist albania, for 40 years, leading his people with an iron fist and isolating the country from his allies. he broke with his comrades and moscow, and dan would communist china after the death of german mouth. later, the increasingly paranoid dictator covered albania, with hundreds of thousands of bunkers. many people ended up in labor camps, and albanians suffered extreme poverty and hunger under his leadership. there is a lot of history in the car to say the least. i was it for you as as all venom finish back in. it's an unusual feeling dumb endorse you. when you know that you're sitting exactly where a former head of state, a dictator sat at the back, that's

a bit strange. of course, dean it's will dismiss this, luxury car was not the only one used by whole just party and albania. they bought 7 receipt as benson at a time. all 280 s. he else plots whole just 100. saddam. i wonder if this car could be the very 1st mosquitoes in albania. oh, i can't go. i think this car is the 1st point of reference for albanians and the mercedes benz brand, from the looks to the idea that it was used by the former dictator and was considered the most important safest and most valuable car at the time. of course it was an absolutely secret car until the ninety's. so if you look for the beginnings of mercedes and albania, i think the origins are right here. sharina. she thought it would be good for lisa . now that i tracked down a small but important piece of the puzzle i carried on my quest to find out exactly

what a tree pointed star rules albanian streets in order to leave to run off, i need to get myself a car, which is how i came into contact with almost peppa humanely. renzo at mercedes cars and says the brand is so popular here because the roads were demanding and used to be particularly bad. at the event, mercedes fits perfectly with albanian roads. it's suitable for both off road and asphalt mercedes as suitable for all road surfaces and albania. we for him, german cars, a good business, the car we ran cost 80 years a day, but already has over 200000 kilometer on the clock. so it's long since paid for it, so no wonder how much relies on receipt us. but where does it get them from?

from the, from her from dusseldorf, esa cologne often is very good. i disabled and you drove yourself? yeah. oh, yes. 2200 kilometer dusseldorf, albania, again, last year. i know the roads between germany and albania, better than here, between tarana and sir randa. i both our next stop is near the seaside resort of doris, with its picturesque beaches and albanians main port. oh, oh. oh. oh, i meet on m a 22 year old who loves vintage cars and is a mechanic in a place that somehow bains column or cedar city. and she act together with his father hassan. he runs a workshop only for cars with a star. from what year is the car a 1987. well, 1987. hamilton. what looks good there. 2.5 liter l

demonica fusion or use it years his eyes ah and love the brill despair pods. waiting to be to put to use in the next classic car restoration . and right next door is the workshop. what a run their family business doesn't the good place here. so all the tool assembly here, you have all the, i like this. it's like a treasure here for mercy. this hudson has almost 40 years of experience as a mechanic and he let his son follow in his footsteps. at an early age, he's convinced that it's the quality of german cars, which made the brand so popular in albania. as you want, if you look at that symbol, the message is i can drive around the world 3 times and i'm still a bens, otherwise there's no such thing as you drive around the world 3 times and everything is still there. there you go with and if the cars

break down on him says it's always cheap to repair, dumped in albania, everywhere so far more cheaper than now. their cars live in fine. yeah. so it's below budget little people, mercedes, old, 1000001. plus another category. easy to maintain and robust, especially on demanding roads. these were wants to main arguments for buying mosquitoes in albania. but that's also changing. and the countryside we drive to lake, always one of europe's oldest and deepest lakes in lin, when people survive on tourism and fishing, it's now almost a luxury to drive such big cars because they can't afford less and less. they tell me that mobiles of organizational progress coastal mo, let goals where there was wrong with my lawyer caused what

a lot more. thank you for watching a movie. oh, look busy on that old that bill got bought is one who has met and says mccoy. good discuss it. stores, minutes has been, was while they stay there. so mir sewland. ha ha. but as long as the wheels of their benson is still turned, they say they'll stick with them. the german bran still mixed and proud and happy. inter anna for w 124 fans. it's not so much about the money as it is about the details. dash, as he calls himself, listened to okay. but brings his car back to its native albania. to have it restored, because here they still take care of old cars like his they know these cause that they pay attention to detail when they deal with these cars every day in the u. k. they don't want to see this cause any maryan old codger,

scrub it to find somebody that still got the enthusiasm. that's impossible over that. now all you get the people that do the job for a living and is just wet and my impression off to the strip. certainly there are still many in albania who are crazy about the german cars. but more and more people are turning away from them. and looking fall, turn a tips and cheapest solutions. and so the image on albanian rhodes that has been shaped by mercy to us until now is likely to change to more car enthusiasts and automotive obsession. next time on red blue with
