i mean, self funded lives or a station in the rain forest continued carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact because change doesn't happen on its own. the make up your own mind. a phone lines from an all electric luxury, s u z to an eco island with a micro grid to charge d as a crazy d i y a hill climb racer in voice mail. hold on for a while right now on read the

now not many, a purely elect. think luxurious se, so they're on the market right now. and this is the newest one, the audi q a eat drawn, but can it be the mercy this e q s s u, v, and the like, we will find out right now. welcome to read the entry level audi q 80 tron is powered by a $250.00 kilowatt mode. while the s q a sports that version we tested, gets plenty of ground from it's 370 kilowatt mode in general, driving impression in the q a. each on a is really smooth, then i mean, audi cannot afford to do mistakes and this car because they say is the flagship model. so you have to be smooth, but it also has to be quite sporty since bit we're driving the s version that also feeds. there is

a lot of power and you will want to feel that when you're driving in curves, you want it to a accelerate really good and you want to have a very nice handling and the call features all of this. the what i especially like is the fact that it is very silent on the interior. of course, i can only compare it with what i remember, but the q s s u, v was not any more silent. neither was the land rover's range all the while i do have to admit though, is that the 2 s s u, v and the land rover range rover felt a little more spacious right here. and you feel comfortable that it's not like you would myspace. but it could be a little more spacious. the, this body aspect of the ask you 8 is on deniva, especially if you put the pedal to the metal. it will make the dash from 0 to a 100 kilometers an hour in. busy an off seconds,

and that feels really good and it can go up to a top speed of 210 kilometers an hour, which is also quite good for a purely electric off the, the exterior design of the q 8. now blends much more harmoniously to the ality model family with a new honeycomb grill. and when it comes to charging ports, convenience is king. right here, the side you will find the charging port is simply press the bottom, the full stone electrically. and then you can plug it in foss, charging no problem whatsoever, but for luxurious cause, you need even more. and that's why on this side, there is another charging parts, again opened it electrically as well. but you have to say this one is not maple 5 charging, so it's mainly for your wall books at home. but you can choose the sides. and that

is a luxurious feature, i think is pretty nice. of course, what you also need for the maximum feeling of the luxury of these self leveling badges that will stop in horizontal manner. no matter how you stop the car. the comparing the design of the cars, i have to say the roundish falls of the e q. s s u v were not exactly appealing to me and the land rover with its flat surfaces. not exactly either, but this car is very nice. i like it. the only thing i would wish for is the black package, because that one is available for all versions and that would mean that what is silver right here. and also the grill will be in a black finish, which would look way more aggressive waste body of the quality inside the s q h cabin remains unchanged without ease,

characteristic use of high quality materials. of course, a lot of controls do work mainly via the touch screen. and the touch pad requires a bit more forced to use, but at least this prevents accidental invoice. the car also has a range of off market features you'd expect, including leather upholstery and heated front and rear seats. was a decent amount of food space. sure you want to do a road trip in the audience also adjusted the version line up. so the q at each one is only available in 3 different versions. the advanced line, which i like the name suggest, is the entry level version, the s line and the one we're driving here. the ask you a to so the sporty version. the thing i did a lot, i had all these digital mirror because you will look outside,

then you will find that small thing. you will look down, you will find the picture. and the picture also looks different than what you are used to in the regular mirror. but don't worry, these digital side view mirror as i always optional. so even if you get to ask you a, you will always find the regular mirrors. now let's take a look at what drives the motor of the queue. and let's talk about the battery for a 2nd. there are 2 different versions, 95 kilowatt hours, and that is the small one. and 114 kilowatt hours. but all they did not simply put in bigger batteries. they also worked on cell chemistry and made the cell, it's 20 percent more dense, so they take less space for the same amount of energy the. those aren't the only changes though. audi also worked on the aerodynamics. and what's especially interesting is the on the body because down they put the little plates along with

all the measures. and that help direct the flow of air that way they reduce the drag coefficient and that helps driving longer distances. the, with all the aspects of that and all the tweak with the new q a. each on coming from its predecessor, they increase the range of the call bye between 32 and 44 percent, which is a huge amount of the in addition to the sport back version. we tested the q 80 tron is also available as a classic s u v with a steeper sloping, we're the we q 8. each one is a very luxurious call in the interior. you can tell that everything is high quality when you drive it is fee is really smooth. it's a very nice rides. are all in all the s q 80 try and looks better as in some ways

more capable than the mercedes e q s s, u, v, or land rover range. although it looses out to them in terms of range and space. but when it comes to pricing, it's likely to leave the competition far behind the even by french standards. belyeu is a special vacation destination. and now and laboratory of innovation for going carbon neutral. incorporating the wind sun and the car industry, tourism and individual mobility. here off the coast of brittany, an array of forward thinking individuals are experimenting with sustainable energy generation. but the transmission is not all smooth sailing. the one to a matic visual change could be wind farms effecting the seascape made famous by impression is painter. cloud monee, in 1886,

the needles of all our iconic. and imagine having those turbines behind you in the sea level. we are sustainable and don't cause accidents like internal drop down or what does that have to do with quoting on it too? well, he's long gone and won't be painting those pictures again. that is correct and their value won't go down just because of a few turbine. so i don't think it said that they say the zip on 3 on is that when we have a magnet innocent, you keep a homepage, but our guess is wouldn't like it if there is suddenly wind turbines in the way, one sure the islands for sustainable the entries into electron mobility actually began 20 years ago. little wonder that french car makers i know pick the spot to set up a pilot project via it's mobilized subsidiary. a smart energy cycle was installed in the vacation village, customize to the surroundings. let me quote with this is a micro grids based on 4 pillars. and for us,

the solar panels convert the sunlight into electricity. yeah. the solar energy is conserved by 2nd life batteries. discarded units taken from the cars that still have sufficient capacity for stationary storage. often they know he's sort of a solar energy is most, if it's not used in real time, these batteries make it possible to store solar power to be fed into the grid for when it's actually need it to the problem and do homework and, and now he only you all know the system also includes prototypes of e cars that can be charged up by directionally really say same with this as a rental. zoe with a modified charge or the suitcase. then it, if you don't have what you understood to naples store to electrical energy and it needs to be cited back into the grid on demand. and also under jim, don't the whole value hazel offers on the move on from tony,

but as well. there's also a sophisticated computer program involved. it controls the facilities various components in a way that ensures maximum efficiency when it comes to the solar energy available for the requirements of the picture, risk vacation village. so you can control school to something you can set up and make progress like this anywhere, even with major industrial complexes, there are no limits. what we're doing here on value can be replicated at various places around the city. if you see those, you know, i don't think this the micro grants are as sounds solution for an island coverage. and cultural heritage says there's up on me. ok. he probably points out some of bells, best known landmarks. the subject of several books written by the local historian is it gives you the needle rocks of poker tone formed by the sea. in the 6 weeks close them and they spent on bill you. he painted around 40 pictures and on $39.00 to be precise. just beat up. i see. i mean, you know,

golf i'll say no to the big lighthouse is our mountain evolve. it's 70 meters tall . so which is enough, the see the turbines are 180 or 200 meters tall? no, we don't want that. all sounds on of that. but most islanders do accept to micro created like my nose. local business man beyond me is among those impressed with the benefits sound. so it sounds like it's an interesting project also because it raises awareness of a question. we should all be asking ourselves. uh where does my energy come from? now is, it gives me, is the spokesman of a movement whose adherents are convinced that reducing energy consumption is the most sustainable option out there. most of the cars in his mental fleet color of course electric. but he sees far more scope for change.

which of a we don't protect the planet by driving e, cause we need to restrict our consumption. but there's nothing, especially our energy consumption. it's uh, consumers from put in, we can say in the future, i'll replace the fossil or nuclear energy i've used by consuming the equivalent and sustainable energy is to do then i was interested in uh when you say that doesn't work for me. i brought it in, c panel is through the notes here. do we need to increase the portion of renewables for one at the same time, cutting consumption, the amount that i found on the no show and what i'm doing. okay. do you have the 2nd semester? it's an approach that the mayor of the islands biggest community, the piling agrees with thanks to him. the police are now also going electric. most of the vehicles used by the local authorities at the replaced with the varieties

that correspond to it's a better fit for our imaging the best and that usually kind that doesn't have to be produced in for default, our efforts are focused on saving energy. she wherever we can't, it is equal to anything else that the mayor previously had the islands clinic's fleet of vehicles turn to electric to they insure at home care for the $5000.00 residents across and $87.00 square kilometer area. but that's all old news for the director of the hospital. they don't mask that value has always been a laboratory for all kinds of innovations to the islands characteristics. mean we have to be a step ahead on that. also, we're already making substantial use of drones for transferring blood supplies. for example, i see we see on super protects and we don't use environmentally harmful ship transportation failed to, to focus on the, the tourist sector now also feature sustainable options. instead of taking the big

energy guzzling diesel, ferries, visitors have the alternative of soft transportation on sale, boats the oven valley, the before we talk about bio gas, as we're focusing on an energy that's free and is available 70 or 80 percent of the time we finish putting you, we have to reduce our consumption, especially in transportation with something that i'll just assume we can do that simply by using sale. power seen won't see only what a journalist still then villeneuve is also committed to the fight to lower energy consumption. she only drives an e car when she has heavy cargo to get from a to b. for her saving energy is a way of life fit to have orders to give to the it's a cultural revolution, consuming more learning to consume less with science, having

a poor quality of life. very warm. yeah. so the concept that will be indispensable in the future. absolutely. mind useful sub are there also some highly imaginative ways of saving energy on belyeu, the artist that this workshop create new listening skills to is all fashioned from raw materials that there. oh no, it's no longer want it to like i collect all kinds of scrap and trash and use my imagination to turn what i find to do something new. come up at all. unfortunately not. uh, not too much. now going on here. one more. i do might be to the environment by recycling waste. normally it's extremely costly on 1000000000 contain, which will be the waste is put in containers. taken by boat to the mainland and disposed of milk. and we create a different cycle by which the islands trash is recycled. and we appreciate the opportunity to hold into a way you can use us. and we'll see the island has a range of different initiatives fighting for sustainability in their own way. what

they all agree on is the most harmful factor for the island best. and that there was sold to me to having limited resources means we have to be particularly careful with tourism when it comes to lowering consumption. there's far too much energy being used during the summer to spread from the canals. may i see on the to continue to listen to it. this is, it's a hill here in the summer the, all the cars and all the people coming to the island and stuff it hold the cheapest. i'm worried to busy the farmers and fishermen used to be the backbone as the economy he pays, it's only the show how the plan. everything was turned on its head to the bottom of the vehicle. and now tourism is dictating things to say. so told the police, but that's wrong, but also the to everything's gotten too expensive. let's go to the push. the way that gets to the

masses of tourist to arrive in the peak vacation period are huge, strain and our resources on the 20. this is also we're seeing of extending the season so that the stream of tourist isn't concentrated on july and august. and this is where this i know project could prove invaluable. the resulting dramatic drop in energy cost means that loss beans can now afford to feed her bungalows after the summer. poor. don't see that. susan said we're going to extend our receipts and when they say to walk through this year, we'll be closing on september 18th. next year we'll try to stay open a lot longer and the pre tax desk who sits any say to, you know, since you all set with the system now up and running, we've seen our energy bill cuts in half the year of last season on the in another sign of progress, you can already tour the islands many sites of cultural interest with the help of the solar power source from the microgrids. here where history and old traditions

meet modern developments, there are creative ideas galore for ensuring a sustainable future the sound, but it is a legendary legacy of clothing on a and the needle rocks of full control. and of course that history is used for tourism testing today, but the main attraction not been using the island you'd be coming in exciting pilot projects going to we've got it all here. so when the sun employer, i went on board and bought 12, it could become a lovely laboratory to ski a kind of experimental avant garde for an energy generation on 1000000000 pl. you've shown danielle jane austin, i'm sure you're on the shoals as it hands towards a new age of energy use. the aptly named belly, little, or beautiful island. most remarkably diverse approach, which with visionary ideas and not short on controversy. but where would we be

a child to me. a family member veteran is in died in the will racing driver with a preference for haley to rate time to get an up close and personal list that his jessica are you ready the the distinctly bump you right for our intrepid report. there is the results of some of the take us work. we visit better and that is workshop in two's let in northeastern voice mail the the car mechanics spent 3 years tinkering away on his pride and joy. it's like a child to make a family member drop. the veteran

has plenty of other cars to work on, but his true passion i'm calling is so dw bass to racing cars. his jetta is above me and pocket book it with all manner of extra features. it comes with 4 injectors for the exhaust is for and to one and these are ration camshaft the got you. okay, so the also on board is a flyer extinguishing system safety 1st be specially and most a sport if there's a fire it activates and puts out the flames. well, there are also 4 more nozzles inside the car along side of the electrical system. and that's the safety system. veteran's love of fast cars began when he was just allowed. his father was a successful racing driver and what was then you could swab yet,

but his undying love for v w came a bite because of a different model. so when he, when i've loved the gulf mark once i was a kid, friend of mine had won a gti d, w. so that's when the loved again. i liked the design deal and i decided that when i grew up, i buy myself a gulf mark one and make my own racing car and they come in to this day. it's remains the same as rush through raptor style and this jetta has great visibility. be though they might kind of plus it has the features that make it easy to turn into a race car veteran bought his prize jetta in sarajevo and hasn't looked back since his only regret is this for lack of development in recent years for i mean it's not that big of seen, but we do have the occasional meet right to you and i talk between. yeah. so it was,

you know, the situation with sponsors isn't great. the problem is the problem is a decreasing interest in racing. its popularity is limited to be our people prefer watching soccer or basketball. we're not associated with that. we might of course washing bags, age per speed, test drive time, which means taking veterans jetta back out onto the track on an old air field. the newly made the the system more upfront, the driving conditions as ever, as the sun goes down the,

the most racist we do the start, isn't that important that you not, as it's mostly appeal at 1st it's key. can i just have it, you know, and i to sort of start is really good and tends to be a bit weaker to, to put on the straits you make up the time you lost at the start. so that'd be all right. so it's not that crucial release is going to live in a business he's will be asked for the jetta performance the the car is what it is. the track is terrible. the surfaces no good. but we've been able to do a few labs to show you the car and that magic feeling ultimately the jack defies the terrain to deliver the magic and veteran is proud of his sip top little racer. oh good. oh no, it's

a great car produced out of love and that's what matters. so you know these i chose the get it because we couldn't find a better basis than the gulf mark one see? i won't be a jet that we're glad to have our super jetta, which we've really grown to love just to stay tuned for also most of love stories and more on the next episode of read the, [000:00:00;00]
