9:30 am
rector ah, and i wanted to become a forgotten film pioneer. leaning he finished and arnold funds between hitler and hollywood. in 1932, they set out into the icy wilderness of greenland to create a life threatening film project that became a major milestone in their lives. love, seduction and power. ice cold passion starts october 8th on d w. a day on read the auto and mobility show the key a he b, 6, gd, test it b, b terms, explain an albanian obsession with a 3 pointed star with
9:31 am
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 v 6 g t. this is the fastest kia ever built and how it drives. we're gonna find out today like the high and i ionic 5 and the regular e v 6. the t t version is also built on higher dies electric global modular platform. ha. booking in this kia,
9:32 am
because when you hit the exhilarated get instant power and punch, as you beg in the seed, which is really fun. the other thing i really like about the e v 6, g, g t, is that you can drive pretty solid and corners because they stiffened up the back of the kia and they precisely changed the steering on the front. xel. so you get a lot of grip and 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 v 6 g t weighs 2.2 tons. but it's adapt a chassis, active role stabilization and a ground clearance reduced by 5 millimeters and sure that it is good on the road. it comes powered by a 77.4 kilowatt hour battery with 424 kilometers of range. you get everything in full, a take 3.5 seconds from 0 to 100 and the top speed of 260 kilometers
9:33 am
a pretty impressive and we're going to find out by ourselves now. 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 e b 60 t is powered by 2 electric motors. a $160.00 kilowatt motor in front, and a brand new $270.00 kilowatt motor at the rear, which he is is a to stay to inverter. that contributes to the machines quick response, ah, for driving fast with the v, 60 t, v on the racetrack is really fun. but you should always drive it as well on the streets. and therefore we are going into stock home. we are driving into sweden and
9:34 am
we are going to have a look. i'll this car drives in every day. behavior says g, t stands for grand terese, mo or grand tour. it should come as no surprise that the v 6 g t allowance for comfort and performance are plenty even on long distance drives and help. 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 whole, sit on even field 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
9:35 am
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 v 6 and the v 6 g t? yeah, the v 6 is a 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 some 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 it's double the price of the e v 6 g
9:36 am
t. so why should you buy a tie? can s if the evie sakes g t has the same figures, 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 t is that and while this car might not be as pretty as a portion or ref tester was still impressed. so let's talk about the design of the v 6 and i have to say, i really like it from the outside. i think looks bardy, it looks good to me and i really like the inside. i think it looks futuristic with this 2 digital displays 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
9:37 am
t can seems an average to 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 a machine this big on fine, it's pretty hard to resist matching the pedal. 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 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 if not a v 6 anymore, it's complete new car prices for the kia e v 6 g t start at around $70000.00 euros in germany. worth if you're looking to get electric and want to have a bit of fun behind the wheel. but keep in mind,
9:38 am
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 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 fully red. there are various types of freebies on the market. when most people talk about these, they mean battery electric vehicles of b, e v. like this tesla, i'm driving a d. v is a fully electric vehicle, which has a battery where dos all that energy in this battery can be loaded again and again by charging it. now let's understand the common terms most viewed the driver face every day. so let's start with kilowatt hours. a german with
9:39 am
a sausage. what the stereotype. so imagine this is your even battery, the amount of need 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 meter is going into. the sausage is equal to the rate of what the energy is flowing into the battery. and that is what is called kilowatt. 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. now let's talk about m p s. this is the term that you're going to worry about at most external charging stations, but it doesn't matter if you're trying to charge your
9:40 am
e v at home adrienne and plucked once the amount of current going through the wire of course and passed through an am pair is the unit of measure of electric current, and you need to know how many empath lang can take to prevent damaging the line of 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 to the current. this quote was actually the thick of the cable. the more was the more empath possibly 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 edi manufacturer of like he a portion audi, a switching to $800.00 word technology to enable even faster charged.
9:41 am
thinking about charging evie if you ever one now why 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 is how energy is usually the place. but dc or direct current is the energy that batteries are typically 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 cars convert changes it to direct current for the battery to stop. but when you take the cable straight out of the charger, you're usually sending direct current straight into the cast battery because a conversion happens within the external charger. so logically, this is usually much faster. i have just finished my charging at an ac charger with
9:42 am
a type 2 cable. you one? no. what type? no cable is stateroom phonics how 2434445 . i was up now is 103, mercedes. just at this intersection here. i traveled to albania and looked high and low for answers 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, hunts for clues for that might explain albania, smith's seat obsession. ah,
9:43 am
what better place to start than to capital? tarana home to around 500000 people with and boasting and notorious mercy as collapses. ah, they are madly in love with a w $124.00 produce between the mid eighties and the end of the ninety's, and eventually marketed as the eclipse. with slick old machines, dead look, brand new, tricked out in every respect and with more than a few special features ah oh, doesn't work if you if you do that than traffic move? no, no, no. as it is impossible,
9:44 am
a good there are 3 such clubs and albania would well over a 100 members who travel to meet from all over the country. wide this model because it looks cool. oh wow. yeah, it's built school 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 in vaseline, to make sure the tires don't look, use almost super doors from 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. okay. one hour, i'm lucky to have
9:45 am
a good 1. 345. there's general here. laces. driving. what's wrong here? oh, there's in my book. read 40 no bread. 40. what is it? 42 gun. 43444546. that went from with 440. hey phil. jeff number flags on time is up now. is 100 streamers. just at this intersection here, i would say it's not that actually time to figure out exactly how many mercy does cars, really ply, the streets of albania. so i visit to 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 or market. it's just
9:46 am
with the wrong every 3rd car on albanian streets as a mosquitoes most a 2nd hand folded and 10 years. but our been 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 rule to country and the best place to explore a communist history and to rana is the central block from 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 goes, the car was a german class. albanians were bent from using private
9:47 am
cars. and, and the ha wanted to be seen as a man of the people, which we now know was an elaborate masquerades. 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 original flag this mercy to 600 or a w 100 type poor man was manufactured in 1966 that 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
9:48 am
personalities of the past, elijah, 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 from her sake up her doors. if they're 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 heavy. 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, they're 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,
9:49 am
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 chem and 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. how is it for you as, as a venom ish back in? it's an unusual feeling dumb endorse your 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 it's will dismiss this luxury car was not the only one used by whole just party and albania. they bought 7 mosquitoes, benson at a time all 280 s e l's plots, whole just 600 saddam. i wonder if this car could be the very 1st
9:50 am
mosquitoes in albania. oh, and i take you all, 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 of 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. she directions and then they said 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 l must pepper
9:51 am
humanely renshaw at mercedes cars and says, the brand is so popular here because the roads were demanding and used to be particularly bad. with the vivid mercedes fits perfectly with albanian roads it suitable for both off road and asphalt elizabeth mercedes had suitable for all road surfaces and albania, ministry, b o. b, for him, german cars, a good business, the car we ran cost 80 years a day, but already has over 200000 kilometers on the clock. so it's long since paid for it . so no, wanda, m must relies on receipt us. but where does it get them from? from the, from her from dusseldorf. esa cologne often is very good. i'm disabled . and you drove yourself? yeah. oh yes. 2200 kilometer dusseldorf, albania. again last year year i know the roads between germany and albania,
9:52 am
better than here. between tarana and surrender, i boot. 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 some albanians colmer see the city. she act together with his father hassan. he runs a workshop only for cars with the start from with years ago, a 1980 so well 1987. hamilton woods river, 2.5 lela l. demonica finishing for youth ears his eyes. oh and love the broom despair pods waiting to be to put to use in
9:53 am
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, that's like a treasure here for mercy. this hudson has almost 40 years of experience as a mechanic. and he let his son following his footsteps at an early age. he is 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 to sort of a jump in and if the cars break down on him says it's always cheap to repair them in albania, desired or whatever. so parts are more cheaper than now. their cars live fine. yeah . so it's one below budget little people, mercedes, old,
9:54 am
$1000001.00 plus love is other gotta agree easy to maintain and robust, especially on demanding roads. these were ones 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 afford less unless they tell me that morgan lazar general progress coastal mo, let goals where there was wrong with my new york. okay. caused what a lot more. thank you for looking movie. oh, no, you're not old. that bill got bought is one who has met and sees mccoy. good discovered scores. minutes has been was while they stay there. so mir sewland. mm
9:55 am
hm. but as long as the wheels of their benson's still turned, they say they'll stick with them. the german brown still mixed and proud and happy inter honor for a w 124 fans. it's not so much about the money as it is about the details. dash, as he called 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 cars that they pay attention to detail when they deal with these college every day in the u. k. they don't want to see this cause anymore. an old car just cropping, to find somebody that still got the enthusiasm, that's impossible over there. now, all you get the people that do the job for a live in and is just wet and my impression off to the strip. certainly there are
9:56 am
still many in albania who are crazy about the german cars, but more and more people are turning away from them and looking full turn a tips and cheapest solutions. and so the image on albanian rhodes that has been shaped by mercedes until now is likely to change to more car enthusiasts and automotive obsession. next time andrea blue with ah,
