the, the, it's time for the mobile revolution. read those didn't know, understand. can have a think, like the right just present. dw used on instagram and follow up from an all electric luxury s using to an eco island with a micro grid to charge d v. as a crazy d i y hill, claim 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 teacher on, but can it be the mercy this inc us 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 kilowatt moto, while the s q a sport that version we tested, gets plenty of grunge from its 370 kilowatt mode. for general driving impression in the q a age on a is really smooth that. i mean, audi cannot afford to do mistakes in this car because they say is the flagship model. so you have to be smooth, but it also has to be quite sporty since that we're driving the s version that all

sol features a lot of power and you will want to feel that when you're driving and. busy if you want it to accelerate really good and you want to have a very nice handling and the call features. all of this, the wife especially like is the fact that it is very silent on the interior. of course, i can only compare with what i remember, but the q s s u, v was not any more silent, neither was the land rover's range rover. while i do have to admit though, is that the each u. s. i c, 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 buddy could be a little more spacious. the, this 40 aspect of the s q. 80. the undeniable, especially if you put the pedal to the metal, it will make the dash from 0 to

a 100 kilometers and now in full. busy and the off seconds, and that feels really good and you 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 used to be ality model family with a new honeycomb grill. and when it comes to charging fords, convenience is king. right here, the side you will find the charging port. you simply press the bottom it full selling 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 foss, charging so it's mainly for your wall books at home. but you can choose the side,

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 round dish 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 force to use, but at least this prevents accidental invoice. the car also has a range of up market features you'd expect, including leather upholstery and heated front and rear seats plus 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,

the thing i don't like at all of these digital mirror because you will look outside, then you will find that small things. 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 numerous, i always optional. so even if you get to ask you. busy 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 100. 14 kilowatt hours, but all they did not simply put in bigger batteries. they also work 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 they put little plates along with all the

measures and that helps direct the flow of air. that way. they reduce the drag coefficient and that helps driving longer distances. the car by 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 ride all in all the s q 80 tron looks better as in some ways more capable than the mercedes and q s s u v, or land rover range on all low. it loses 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 it's now a 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. a one to a matic visual change could be wind farms effecting the seascape made famous by impression is painted cloud monee in 18. 86. the needles. are i conic? imagine having those turbines behind you in the sea level. we

are sustainable. i don't cause accidents like internal down or what does that have to do with quote monega to is long gone and won't be painting those pictures again or discharge products. and their value won't go down just because of a few turbine. so i don't think this ever, they say the zip on 3 on is that when we have a magnet in this and you keep the homepage. but our guess is what like it. if there are a sudden the wind turbines, in the way, what's 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 as 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,

but still have sufficient capacity for stationary storage. often they know who sorta 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 him at the home by end. and now he only, you all know the system also includes prototypes of e cars that can be charged up by directionally very say same with this as a rental. zoe with a modified charge or the suitcase. then it everything. you don't have what you, under such a naples store to electrical energy and it needs to be cited back into the grid on demand under him, don't the whole value of his though, of course, on the move on from somebody 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 go to school to something you can set up and make for grad 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 a city. i mean, i don't think this the micro grants are as sounds solution for an island covered in cultural heritage, says there's up on the he probably points out. some of the belly is best known landmarks. the subject of several books written by the local historian, music giving you the needle rocks of paul control formed by the sea. in the 6 weeks floated money spent on bill you. he painted around 40 pictures and on $39.00 to be precise, just get up. i see all the new 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 184200 meters tall. no,

we don't want that. all sounds on other thoughts, but most islanders do accept and micro grid, like my nose, local business man, deal me as 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 it does 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 rental fleet or 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 to tackle. so mentioned put in, we can say in the future, i'll replace the fossil or nuclear energy i've used by consuming the equivalent in sustainable energy to then i was interested in uh when you say that doesn't work for me. i brought it in c panel. i see the notes here, do we need to increase the portion of renewables for while at the same time cutting consumption, the amount that i found on the no show and what i'm doing great, you have 2nd semester. it's an approach that the mayor of the islands biggest community lapel link 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 a 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 wherever we can't even think with anything

else that the mayor previously had the islands clinics, key to vehicles turn to electric to they insure at home care for the 5000 residents across and 87 square kilometer area. but that's all old news for the director of the hospital. they don't mass that value has always been a laboratory for all kinds of innovations in 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 to protect and we don't use environmentally harmful ship transportation . wholesale to the purchase of 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, 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 this issue. and we can do that simply by using sale power as involved and see only what journalist still then villeneuve is also committed to the site 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, the keyboard is tilted 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. i'm so do you mind useful sub there are 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 from the law unfortunately not uh, not to imagine. now going on your own mostly like 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 in 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. but there's far too much energy being used during the summer to spend some of the canals for me. i see only to continue to listen to it. this is, you know, it's a hill here in the summer. all the cars and all the people come and get island and that's stuff. it whole cheaper where you have to be, the farmers and fishermen used to be the backbone. as the economy, he pays 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, to push out the way that gets to the masses of tourist to arrive in the peak vacation period or huge strain and our resources to wait on the 20 the people. so we're thinking 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 levels beans can now afford to feed her bungalows. after the summer pulmonology this is on said we're going to extend our receives and when they say the washroom for this year will 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 sourced from the micro grid. 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. excuse me, the main attraction of and use an island you'll be coming in exciting pilot projects going to we've got it all here. so when the sun employee, i went on board and bought 12, it could become a lovely laboratory to ski a kind of experimental avant garde for 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 energy wise? if we didn't have the occasional bit of friction, of the sustainable variety, of course the,

will. racing driver with a preference 1st, hilly terrain times he gets an up close and personal list that his jessica are you ready the and they just simply bump you right for our intrepid report. there is the result of some of meticulous work. we visit the federal and that is workshop in twos 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 for

b w base 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 as a fire 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. veterans love of fast cars began when he was just allowed. his father was a successful racing driver. and what was then you could flavio? 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 one since i was a kid, friend of mine had won a g

t i. d. done the so that's when the loved again, me. so i like to design you and us and we lose you. 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. the building, my kind of plus it has the features that make it easy to turn into a race car like a veteran bought his prize jetta in sarajevo and haven't looked back since his only regret is this for lack of development in recent years. but 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 you know, the situation with sponsors isn't great. probably

a minute. the problem is it increasing interest in racing. its popularity is limited to be our people prefer watching soccer or basketball. we're not associated with the average for my question. was about the need for speed test drive time, which means taking veterans jetta back out onto the track on an old air field. the newly made the system more upfront, the top driving conditions as ever as the sun goes down the, the most racist we do the start, isn't that important that, you know, as it's mostly appeal at 1st, it's good. great. you said that you know,

that you sort of start is really good and tends to be a bit weaker to, to be put on the straights you make up the time you lost at the start. so that'd be, oh yeah. so it's not that crucial release is not even even a bad associates will be as for the jetta performance, the the car is very nice. the track is terrible. the surface has no good. but we've been able to do a few labs to show you the car and that magic ceiling. ultimately, the object of defies the terrain to deliver the magic. and veteran is proud of his sip top little racer. i'll try to get a gray car produced out of love and that's what matters. so you know, these i chose the jet is because we couldn't find a better basis than the gulf mark. one. see?

i looked at jet that we're glad to have our super jetta, which we've really grown to love just to stay tuned for automotive love stories and more on the next episode of the the,
