tillman, to review one you have, you have a one to start to leave this on the spot on the, on expected side to side. enjoy the, what can we then, from what to say do different thing the, this is, keeps new purely electric flagship model. the v 9, it aims to compete with b and w i x or volvo, x 90. what does it offer? we'll find out right now. welcome to the somewhat phosphoric book is an expression

of kias office. it's united design philosophy and definitely not for everyone. here $89.00 has only one battery size, 99.8 kilowatt hours. and 2 different engine types in the rear wheel driven with 150 kilowatts or the call that we have right here. it is all wheel driven, and 283 kilowatt hour version accelerates very nicely. can go up to 200 kilometers an hour. rear wheel driven version will only be able to go up to 185 kilometers in an hour. and i think 150 here to was is to later for such a big and heavy car the, the general driving impression the key,

the 9 is very comfortable. you can definitely detail a key aims to provide a high quality, somewhat luxurious driving experience. the range of the all wheel driven version is around 512 kilometers according to w l t p. the rear wheel driven version will go up to $500.00. $63.00, so far the then the other one, of course, with the power for that is that small, you will need less electric energy from maximum charging power is $210.00 kilowatt . in other words, in just 15 minutes, you can charge us to 250 kilometers of range. the science of the car get a slicker look from the retractable door handles. the interior of the 9 is very spacious, as you would expect from a call that is more than 5 meters in length. you have a very wide center console with 2 cop holders. and what i also like is the fact

that key kept physical buttons for the crime control temperature mode and so on, everything down here. and then you have these somewhat touch operated buttons for the most important functions here. busy map, search, media, and favorites all set up the, the steering wheel looks quite interesting. i'm not that much a fan of the center part, but i've already seen worse. or what i don't like is that high gloss gray that they used for these buttons. of course, this is always personal preference. i really liked that they did not use very much hi gloss in the interior. you have it here at the steering wheel and here and the rest is mainly a math finish. and i really like that lather all the materials down here some

plastic, but high quality plastic. it doesn't look cheap. yes, 3 this phase 2 big ones more than 12 inches and a small one in between. that will show you information about the climate control. everything is where you would expect it to be. the $89.00 comes with 7 seats, s standard, so 232. and there's also the option to get 6 seats. so 222, and the seeds have quite some nice functions. not only can they be adjusted, so pulled from to back or also put the bat grass down to relax. that can also be turned, which makes getting in and out of the car easy, for example, for elderly or people that have broken leg or something that's quite nice.

and an interesting feature that you don't get into a lot of other cars. the seats can rotate up to $180.00 degrees so the rear passengers can face each other. and alternative option is reclining seats with an integrated foot rest. there is a roommate container in the center console. if the passenger in the front, this is not too tall, he can also put the seat a little more to the front and then you will have more space back here. the trunk has a 12 volt and a 250 volt charging socket. as expected with a 6 or 7 people in the car, you only have very much drunk space left. we're talking about 333 leaders. of course, if you only use 4 or 5 people and you can fold down the last roll and then we're talking about a lot of space. if you fold down everything, you can go more than 2300 leaders.

the usual with most of electric or possibly electric vehicles, you can adjust the level of recuperation with some pedals behind the steering wheel . there are 4 different levels and the highest one will provide you with a possibility to drive the car in one pedal drive. the we have the stand that mirror, but just most of the key cause the, even though it has the feature that if you activate the indigo. busy to you will get a little picture so you can see if there is another vehicle next to your cost of cost . 89 also as blind spot detection and will warn you if there should be a vehicle next to you. the,

with the option a light uh sensor the he, i, the 9 is able to drive autonomous level 3. so basically it does everything for you, but you still required to keep your hands at the steering wheel and also keep an eye on the traffic. because if something goes wrong, you are still the one responsive. all calls will be call like this has quite a big price. we're talking around $72500.00 cures of entry level of price for the re a. we have driven version the all wheel driven version is around $4000.00 euros more . but if you compare that to a similarly pile of b, m w i x, that will cost roughly the same. the b and w has more than 150 kilometers, less of a range compared to the keel. if you compare that to vogal x 90,

those are somewhat better in some aspect. but those do also stats at at least 100000 euros. so almost 25000 year or more. then look here the this i'm up my 89 experience. it is a very nice call that is quite luxurious and also has some clever and well the features. but one thing is clear of 5 meter s u, v. is not very suitable for german or european cities, of course, in the us where you have a lot of space, a lot of parking spaces in the role. it's a very big that is not a problem. but as i mentioned in germany are also here fronds you can tell the street and not made for cause that big c 9 is also capable of

delivering energy to charge other vehicles supply households with electricity or even feed energy back into the power grid. these options are to be gradually introduced in the future. the think of all this stuff you come into contact within one day of this stuff didn't come out of nowhere. in most cases, it made a journey that cross city limits or even country borders and one leg of the trip. luckily involved one of these, you could call trucks the backbone of commerce. unfortunately, the way they work right now is very unhealthy for the planet. our best bet is to make these 0 emissions. that means electric motors, they can be powered with 2 options. so you already know from the car industry, batteries and hydrogen. so which system will win the rates for the truck of the future? or do we need both if you talked about 0 missions trucks just

a few years ago, you might have been left out of the room for the word of any preconceived notions about what the batteries could do, what batteries were. so batteries are too expensive. battery server, heavy battery start to be. the idea was that the mass was batteries needed to power . these big trucks would compromise, how much cargo they could carry, transporting heavy loads would make the batteries run out mach journey. freight operators often have type, profit margins. time is money and they don't really want to waste it on hours of charging. so the focus shifted to fuel cells. these devices essentially work like batteries that run on stored hydrogen and oxygen from the air that can produce enough electricity to power a truck. and they're only by product or heat and water. of course, it takes a lot of energy to produce pure hydrogen, so that it can be used as fuel. but even then a hydrogen truck produces up to 33 percent to your emissions across its life cycle . then it's diesel counterpart,

the savings are much greater if the hydrogen is produced with renewable energy. that's fairly happening. simply speaking, hydrogen trucks can reduce emissions without compromising carbo capacity or requiring long brakes. refueling a hydrogen truck, as long as the same, then the refueling diesel truck. so at 1st sight hydrogen fuel cells look like a slam dunk solution for trucks. but here's the thing. all these assumptions about batteries were expensive or heavy, already kind of outdated. what has happened in the past few years is let's say my batteries have become much cheaper very quickly and their energy density has improved. that means a truck can get much more range from the same size. battery pack. researchers are also working on megawatt charging systems for heavy duty trucks. the aim to reduce the charging time from several hours to little as 15 minutes. this would allow

truck drivers to charge the vehicle during their mandated driving break. what's one the pendulum in favor of battery electric motors was high school investment. any of these like these? because when it comes to greener, passenger cars, most governments and producers are bidding on batteries. that's a whole kind of whole, emotive industry really, which is bringing down the cost of batteries, but only a small industry, relatively small number of players working on engineering of fuel cells and a $100.00 and storage and audio delivery. battery power trucks also have the advantage that they're cheaper to operate than hydrogen trucks, because they're more efficient you'll see to power of fuel. so with green hydrogen, you need to turn electricity into hydrogen, transport that to refueling stations, and pump it into a fuel cell, which then turns it back into electricity. roughly 60 percent of energy is lost on the way. compare the to a fully electric truck. it needs energy to charge

a battery, which then powers the motor only about 20 percent of last. the fact that the battery electric trucks are cheaper to operate and makes a huge difference. it compensates for the investment upfront to buy the vehicle, which is high higher than for fuel cell trucks. so if you look at the total cost of ownership, the sum of all the expenses for a vehicle across its life cycle, battery powered trucks come out looking pretty good. they could become even cheaper than diesel trucks before 2030. it can be powered by an electricity mix of fossil fuels and renewables. that saves about 63 percent and emissions. they're powered with clean energy only that saves 92 percent. as battery technologies developed rapidly, the specs, the question is the race between electric and hydrogen trucks already over. and what does that mean? in most countries, battery power trucks still represent less than one percent of sales. a projection say they will make up a vast majority of the european market by 2050 and manufacturers like time learned

folder for betting on hydrogen or not bidding on it instead of batteries. but in addition to batteries, hydrogen truck producers basically one another like to stand on their bedding. the battery powered trucks will never develop enough to carry extremely heavy loads across several thousands of kilometers. because more cargo requires more energy. when fresh hood is the weight, not the space to be transported, then we'd have an advantage for hydrogen trucks. at that point, opponents a, that's a very nice application toward a whole separate system. but you've got to make your, for your infrastructure, you're filling stations and everything available on a small proportion of trucking. so are there ways to make battery power trucks more viable for very heavy cargo and long journeys? operators could swap a battery pack, so instead of waiting to recharge them, that would probably require industry wide cooperation and battery swap system. so

that brings us to our next point infrastructure. it needs to expand a lot for either technology if the real mission trucks are to take over a hydrogen refueling stations are still extremely scarce within pyar regions in europe, not having any at all. when it comes to u. v charging there is more solid infrastructure in place for passenger cars, but the kind of high power charging the trucks need is almost completely mistaken. and the european union, that's where this law could come into play. it's that specific targets for members states to deploy more charging and refueling stations in the coming years. so we see the big companies are now springing up to say, like, all right, we're going to cover that needed because we see that these business will come right . because the regulatory decisions, the policy rates certainty for us to make us investment. the same needs to happen, to spur manufacturers and to mass producing 0 emissions trucks. except the moment not enough are being produced for fleet operators to make the switch so that you is

looking to revise that c o 2 standards for trucks. while it does, we put an end to internal combustion engines. the proposal once new, heavy duty vehicles to mit 90 percent less by 2040 votes, battery and fuel cell trucks need to tackle their infrastructure and supply that there is one challenge, specific to hydrogen trucks. and that's the price of fuel. or we need to commercialize the production of products. and currently when you're talking about reading hydrogen via producing hydrogen at the very small scale. when you exhaust your production site, you can bring costs down. so the following price of hydrogen is yet another may be in a long list of uncertainties. during this transition. it's just to get all the stuff to us that we use every day without all lose emission. some big question still need to answering how much cheaper and smaller can batteries get? how fast can they be charged, and will there ever be enough green hydrogen? it looks like pure electric trucks are way ahead of hydrogen and the rates will

deliver or future goods. but they're both bring us closer to the same finish line to reach our climate targets. but there could still be some surprises along the way . the via and the best drive is wild cars, often stuck in traffic, the why do and never stand still? why does the traffic run so smoothly on their highways? why does not what for us drive is, why do we have traffic jams everywhere across the world? what can we then from what to say do different team? very corporate tips means that they, they do not block something, come cause

a working on one common goal is that we'd like to draw fluid into them. better drivers in some sense, is there a quote for us? is that why, why is that the case with and why don't they have traffic times and what can we drive as learn from them as things and, and to basically create colonies with a social structure in which its members have different professions and tasks. they work as a team to tackle problems and complain of of a thing we drive is on the other hand of self suited individuals who just want to reach out destination phones. the main reason is that you do not have enough capacity. i'm of course, the other we're using some but these, these reason reasons i know that they do not happen that often. um, some people are sometimes making driving mistakes or something, for instance they,

they do not pay enough attention that they have to break heart. individual mistakes . can that explain all the traffic jams or assemble rooms, incentives and heavy weather conditions. but most of that 60 percent 70 percent originally, this is the same time the same. it's the same range that can have quite an impact. here's a small selection of the longest traffic time. around 2500000 people flight houston before how we can reach a hit on september 21st 2005 traffic heading towards dallas was backed up for 2 days. and 160 kilometers in brazil during the 2014 soccer world cup final, a traffic jam starting in san antonio reached

a length of 340. thank you so much is that's almost all the way to rio and most go in november 2012, the heavy russian winter that resulted in catastrophic congestion for 3 days and 3 nights locking down the main highway between saint petersburg and the russian cat. so so how can we plan call traffic based and how can we avoid traffic tons? what do as have over us? is it just a behavior by the sales order with it? and so it really is a case of one for all and off for one. let's start with card drivers, it's more along the lines of how do i get to my destination as quickly as possible . it's all about individuals doing their own thing with 0, a consideration for anyone else. and that's something some drivers could learn from or the office on the driver on the road to

their existing. and that is a thing which hinders the officers to be effective on the road in germany's largest city by phone, been in the icon sea of things, compared to other cities around the world. traffic in berlin, isn't that at all? let's take a look at some of the worst in the sort of in capital a minute drive is lost, an average of 100 hours of the time stuck in traffic in 2022. the longer times, the worst traffic in south america drive is here, spent an average of 130 hours and traffic congestion that's over 5 days in

a year. no one to road rage is a problem here. the and, and band, you know, drive is, was stuck in traffic for an incredible 134 hours in 2022. that would never happen to is they simply have space or traffic rules, chance communicate chemically. they use a mix of pheromones, signals like watch out or there is a food here. i go this way. what's welcome to pause. yes. put on tickets long. big for that community that went to the system optimum. did want to have a working on a slow, which is not stopped by individuals so we can learn from the end. but i don't think that's what i'm going to teach the people to behave like that. especially seeing that people get even more aggressive when the in the cause,

the many people are at the very, very strong time schedule. and if this is jim bitch, they don't know that they've become very angry. they are in the car under numerous, nobody knows username. so the b b can do with, in the septic situations, more things. so normally when it's not to do so they liked this type of accident. i mean not me. the car is more lives fuel, private the next, it's like that whole is more of this is addition an add on to your home and you don't like the people to come near to you. so this the limits about $0.50 a minute just so there's other costs come close to you. you don't like it. you

become angry against the other drivers. that aggression behind the wheel is also one of the main causes of traffic tons. so via and so much space it behaved on the road. first of all, you're driving, not that fast. it means if they crash, well, it's just when, when 2 people to hit each other on the road, i'm going the 2nd sentence of it is not really dramatic. so i'm, this definitely leads to the fact that they can have much closer distance of course, between each other. like cause have to have some, some distance in order to stay safe. then again, there are around 20 quadrillion ads in the world as a bomb hasn't come on. you could say that and so have a kind of early warning system inherited by each generation from previous ones, whereas we, humans need technical solutions. and what takes me from this one is extra thinking

of us humans. how much time do people in germany spend stuck in traffic every yeah . the the killer, mrs. driven on jim rhodes per year. more than 500000000000 and with it, this kid them is the drive. they stand still for a some time. so in jam stuck in dense, and that is about 530000 years, 2 years as a people are standing still, a self driving cause might prevent that by helping us stay relaxed and the stream of traffic just like the end and adhere to the automated system that we can put the behavior then this will be help. that's then as the ends, people se, looking and septic system, which has a much larger capacity as we have today. then in from as

means nothing to when things, when it comes to avoiding traffic terms and behaving well in traffic and more automotive tales. next time on the

market. friedlander is all the cost survivor at the age of $19.00, she decided to return to germany. a country she never wanted to set foot and again, she fights for members here and feels like she belong to tell margaret friedlander. in 15 minutes on d w, the

west finer i might just do it and i'm hosting dw, and you've had costs don't strength amounts because it's actually about mill join us as we travel around your at tracing the season history of every day. ok. and that bumpy, ride around the world kind of close to taking the juicy of stories with a little mystery of drama along the way. but no need to talk about i just sit subscriber id, listen to podcast and will take you along to the right side. the
