a using old clothes to become an international trend. your romance movies on d, w. these places in europe are smashing all the records. step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you up to record breaking sites. on google maps, youtube and now also in book form with a day on read the auto and mobility show the key, b, 6, gd, test it b, b terms, explain an albanian obsession with the 3 pointed star. with

the key i. e v 6 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 louis 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 it drives we're going to find out today, like the high and ionic 5 and the regular e v 6. the d t version is also built on how young does electric global modular platform ha, booking in this kia,

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 t is that you can drive pretty solid and corners because they stiffened up the back of the kia and they precisely a changed the steering on the front. xle. 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 tops beat off 260 kilometers

a pretty impressive and we're going to find out by ourselves now. whoa, yeah, that walks forward. i mean, it's under 3.5 seconds. i think it's about 3.2 seconds as they tested. and that's really impressive for me for such a big and heavy s u v. like the v 6, g t b, b 6, g 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 uses a to stage a inverter that contributes to the machines. quick response. for driving fast with the v 6 g t he on the racetrack, it's really fun, but you can should always drive it as well on the streets and therefore we are

going into stuck home. 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 grand theresa mo, or grand tour. it should come as no surprise that the v 6 g t allowance for comfort and performance and plenty, even on long distance drives and helping things along is the fact that it to gets key as 800 boat technology treatment. which means that at the fast charging stations, it's battery 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 whole sit on even feel barm's 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 sometimes in one direction, which doesn't feel so good. as far as energy recovery goes, this kia comes with a multi stage recuperation option. we're 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 it's double the price of the e v $60.00 t. so why should you buy a tie? can s if the evie 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 portion or rep tester was still impressed. so let's talk about the design of the e, b 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 t consumes 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'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 if not a v 6 anymore,

it's complete. euchre prices for the kia e v 6 g 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 terms, right? there's a lot of confusing information about electron mobility out there. so maybe you heard about m pairs boils kilowatts kilowatt hour. whatever. we want to give you the details, you need to know to be t v, right? there are various types of freebies on the market, but when most people talk about these, they mean battery electric beakers of b e v. like this tesla, i'm driving a d, v as a pulley elected v good, which has a battery where dos all it energy in this battery can be loaded again and again by

charging it. now let's understand the common terms. most b b 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 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 meat 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 heater one. 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 kilowatts. now let's talk about m p s . this isn't a term that you're going to worry about it most external charging stations, but it doesn't matter if you're trying to charge your e v at home, or drain and plucked once the amount of current going through the wire. it's called and passed through an employer 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. the current was, 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 motors,

we performance charge with $400.00 voice technology, but thumb even manufacturer of like key apportion audi. a switching to $800.00 word technology. twin able even faster charge 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 supplies. but dc or direct current is the energy that at least a typical capable of taking. so usually when you take a table 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 charge,

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 out with a type 2 cable. you one know what type 2 cable is. state gym for our next how to 43. 4445. i was up now is 100 dreamers here with just a different this section 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 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 of that might explain albania, smith's fetus obsession. ah, what better place to start than the capital? to run it home to around 500000 people with and boasting a notorious mercy this club soon. they are madly in love with the w $120.00 or 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 and traffic move? no, no, no. as it is impossible, a good there are 3 such clubs and albania with well over a 100 members who travel to meet from all over the country. wide this model because it looks cooler with yeah, yeah, it looks cool and the it's more unusable here in obeying of that is made just for for fun out and tells me these cards are usually and garages, but when are they shine bright? classical thing i got these yes, they're covered and vaseline to make sure the tires don't look, use almost super doors. classical car sellers, her 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 lake at 10 main street county at starting now. okay. one. now we are lucky to i think it is 13453, and are all here. laces. driving ports right here. a support on it other than my long red 40 no bread 40. what is it? 42 god. 43. 444546. that one from with 440 a field of german number flags. time is up now. is 100 streamers. just at this intersect, i would say it's not that actually time to figure out exactly how many mercy does cars, really apply 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 in 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 car market. we're in the shipping around every 3rd car on albanian streets as m. s. c t us 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 mercy, this is daunting 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 run up is the central block for neighborhood. what is not home to entertainment, tourism. and of course,

night life was back down the premises of envoy hodgen and his gang by what only very few people knew is actually that his favorite ghost car was a german class. albanians were bent from using private cars and, and belgium 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. ah, this is like the little flag this mercy to 600 or a w 100 type. pullman was manufactured in 1966 than was custom made and personalized for roger. the prize spec done is equivalent to around $200000.00

euros today. oh, 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, sierra mitchell, for vehicles that belong to the personalities of the past. electrical. it would also be beneficial in terms of maintaining the machines 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 location spots. after all, dis, mercy. this was a state secret over thank upper doors. it's there. 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 to 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 is to me, in the car to say the least. how is it for you as, as of indian ash? i mean, it's an unusual feeling. them endorse you when you know that you're sitting exactly where a former head of state a dictator sat took back. that's

a bit strange. of course, dean, it'll dismay this luxury car was not the only one used by whole just party in albania. they bought 7 mosquitos, benson at a time, all 280 s the else plots whole just 600 saddam. i wonder if this car could be the very 1st mosquitoes in albania. oh and 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 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. sharina. she's director events. and they said with the good belief 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 alamos peppa, humanely renzo at mercy this cars. and says the brand is so popular here because the roads were demanding and used to be particularly bad. that the vivid mercedes fits perfectly with albanian roads. it's suitable for both off road and asphalt mercedes as suitable for all road surfaces and albania. with 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 itself. no wonder how much relies on receipt us. but where does he get them from?

from different earth from dusseldorf, esa cologne often is very good. i disabled and you drove yourself? yes. oh yes. it's 2200 kilometer dusseldorf, albania, again, last year. i know the roads between germany and albania, better than here, between tarana and sheronda. 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 mean dot m a 22 year old who loves vintage cars and is a mechanic in a place that some old bains column or cedar city. she act together with his father hassan. he runs a workshop only for cars with a star from what year is the car a night? it is so well. in 1987,

i looked him. what looks good there 2.5 lela l. demonica or years years his eyes ah, and live 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 that family business does. the sticker plays 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 well. if you look at that symbol, the messages 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 with them. and if the cars break

down on him says it's always cheap to repair them in albania, the desired or whatever. so parts are, were cheaper than now. their cars live and find sol below budget little people, mercedes, old one man, one s plus love. the other got to 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 in the country. so we drive to lake, always one of europe's oldest and deepest lakes in lin, where people survive on tourism and fishing. it's now almost to luxury to drive such big cars because they can afford less unless they tell me that model of all of those little particles will know the cause where there was wrong with my nurse. okay,

closed while they were. thank you for watching movie harvey. oh no, no, no, no, that was god boy who has met him. teach mccoy if you were discussing scores, minutes has been lost while they stay yet so mir sewland. ha! but as long as the wheels of their benson is still turned, they say they'll stick with them. the german brown still mixed and proud and happy . inter ana for a w $124.00 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 cars every day in the u. k. they don't want to see this cause any miles, an old codger, scrub it 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 living and is just wet and my impression after 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 mercedes until now is likely to change to more car enthusiasts and automotive obsession. next time on red ah, with
