mass, but just a glimpse behind the facade of this energy time tell us, gosh, come russia's political with and starts february 3rd on dw, the what can we then from what to say do differentiate the, this is key s u p o electric flagship model, the e 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 opposite to 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 excel. busy rates very nicely can go up to 200 kilometers an hour. rear wheel driven version will only be able to go up to 185 kilometers an hour. and i think 150 here to was is too late for such a big and heavy car the, the general driving impression and the key

d 9 is very comfortable. you can definitely detail 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 wheels driven version will go up to $563.00. so far, the, then the other one off cost with the power. so 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 capt. 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 of 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 2 or $32.00. 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 front to back or also uh put the bat grass down to relax. that can also be turned, which makes getting in and out of the car easier, 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's a roommate container in the center console. the 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 the possibility to drive the car in one pedal drive. the we have the then the mirror, but just most of the key cause the, even though it has the feature that if you activate the indicator you will get a little picture. busy so you can see if there is another vehicle next to your car of cost, the $89.00 also has blind spot detection and will warn you if there should be a vehicle next to you. the

with the optional light uh sensor. the easy 9 is able to drive autonomous level 3. so basically it does everything for you, but just know required to keep your hands at the steering wheel and also keep an eye on the traffic. because if something goes wrong, you're still the one responsible. 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. and last, 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 roads, a very big that is not a problem. but as i mentioned in germany are also here. france, you can tell the street on not made for cause that b, c,

d 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 and 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. 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 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. if 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 re shooting 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 and 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 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 up fossil fuels and renewables. that saves about 63 percent and emissions their powered with clean energy only that saves 92 percent. as battery technologies develop rapid lead the specs, the question is the raise 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, are 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 the pressure code is the weight, not the space to be friends product. then we 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 sections and everything available on a small proportion of trucking. so are there ways to make battery powered trucks more viable for very heavy cargo and long journeys? operators could swap out the battery packs instead of waiting to recharge them. that would probably require industry wide cooperation on 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 scary with entire regions in europe, not having any at all. when it comes to you, v charging, there's more solid infrastructure in place for passenger cars, but the kind of high power charging the trucks need is almost completely missing and the european union, that's where this law could come into play. it's that specific targets for member 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 those investments the same needs to happen, to spur manufacturers and to mass producing 0 emissions trucks. is that the moment not enough for 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 doesn't put an end to internal combustion engines, the proposal wants new heavy duty vehicles to mit 90 percent less by 2040 votes, battery and fuel cell trucks and you to tackle their infrastructure and supplied. there is one challenge specific to hydrogen trucks. and that's the price of fuel we need to commercialize the production of products. and currently when you're talking about reading hydrogen, producing hydrogen at the very small scale. when you launch 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 just to get all the stuff to us that we use every day without all lose emission. some big questions 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 cause often stuck in traffic. the why do and never stand still. why does the traffic run so smoothly on their highways? why does not work 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 cuz they're working on one common goal is that

we'd like to draw fluid into them. better drivers, incense, and since they're as quote for us is that why, why is that the case with and why don't they have traffic chance and what can we drive is learn from them? i vincent and so basic like 3 a colony is with a social structure in which its members have different professions and tasks. they work as a team to tackle problems and complete of, of a thing we drive is on the other hand of self absorbed individuals who just want to reach out destination phones. the main reason is that you do not have enough capacity. um, of course the other were using some but these, these really reasons i know that they do not happen that often. i'm some people are sometimes making driving mistakes or something, for instance they,

they do not pay enough attention and then they have to break hard individual mistakes. can that explain all the traffic jams or assemble incentives and heavy weather conditions? but most of that 60 percent 70 percent originally, this is the same time and the same. it's in the same range that can have twice an impact. here's a small selection of the longest traffic time. around 2500000 people flag houston before hurricane retail hates 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 344 kilometers. that's almost all the way to rio. and most go in november 2012. the heavy russian wind have resulted in catastrophic congestion for 3 days and 3 nights. walking down the main highway between saint petersburg and the russian capital. so how can we plan call traffic base and how can we avoid traffic tons? what ants have over us? is it just the behavior of the sales order with and so it really is a case of one for all and to offer one. let's start with car 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 some things. some drivers could learn from the old office on the side of the driver on the road

to the listing. and that is the thing which hinders the officers to be effective on the road in germany's largest city by phone been and i can't see it the same day to other cities around the world's traffic in berlin isn't bad 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 that time stuck in traffic in 2022. the still good times. the worst traffic in south america drive is here. spent an average of 130 hours in traffic congestion. that's over 5 days in the yet.

no one to road rage is a problem here. the on demand, you know, drive is, was stuck in traffic for an incredible 134 hours in 2022. that would never happen to us. they simply have space or traffic rules coming to chance, communicate chemically. they use a mix of pheromones, signals like watch out or there's a food here. i go this way. what's welcome to pause. yes. put on tickets long. big for the 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 be because you guys like that . especially using that people get even more aggressive when the in the cause,

the many people have very, very strong time schedule. and if there is a gen beach, they don't know that they've become very angry. they are in the car and nobody knows username. so the b, b and do with, in the septic situations more things. so normally when it's not to do i a so they liked this type of item. i mean, not me. the car is more loose fuel prices, but it's like i told the smallest addition an add on to your home and you don't like the other people come near to you. so this the limits about $0.50 a minute or so is other cars come close to you?

you don't like it to 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, the driving, not that fast means if they crash. well it's just when, when 2 people 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 distance, of course, between each of like cos, 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 from the extra thinking of us humans. how much time

do people in germany spend stuck in traffic every year? or the killer, mrs. driven on jim rhodes, who are you? more than 500000000000? and with it this kiddo measure the drive, they stand still for some time. so in jams 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 ends in the future. that's what emetics systems that we can put, the behavior and businesses behave. that's then as the ends, people se, looking septic system, which has a much larger capacity as we have today then. and from as

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