6:30 pm
sundays, i'm a doctor. so in the clouds it, it's time to us and then when generations class this week on dw the what can we then from what to say do different team 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
6:31 pm
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 accelerates very nicely. can go up to 200 kilometers an hour. re a 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 easy 9 is very comfortable. you can
6:32 pm
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 the u. l. t p. the rear wheel driven version will go up to $563.00. so. busy far the, then the other one off costs with the power for that is that small, you will need less electric energy. for 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. it 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
6:33 pm
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 home. busy map surge, 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 on the materials down here some
6:34 pm
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 9 columns with 7 seats, s standard. so 232. and there's also the option to get 6 seats. so 222 and the seats have quite some nice functions. not only can they be adjusted, so pulled from to bag or also put the bag grass down to relax. the 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.
6:35 pm
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. 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 won't 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.
6:36 pm
the usual with lowest 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 a most of the key cause the easy night 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 car. of course. busy the easy 9 also as blind spot detection and will warn you if there should be a vehicle next to you the
6:37 pm
with the option a light sensor, the easy 9 is able to drive autonomous level 3. so basically it does everything for you, but you're still 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 responsive. all calls will be call like this has quite a big price. we're talking around $72500.00. the use of entry level of price for the re we have driven version the all wheel driven version is around $4000.00 euros more. but if you compare that to a similarly power 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 valuable x 90,
6:38 pm
those are somewhat better in some aspect. but those do also stats at at least 100000 euro. so almost 25000 euro small then look here. the is, 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 europe and 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 fronds you can tell the street are not made for cause that big c 9 is also capable of
6:39 pm
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, and 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?
6:40 pm
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 of 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 your emissions across its life cycle. then it's diesel counter parts. the savings are much greater if the hydrogen is
6:41 pm
produced with renewable energy. that's fairly happening. simply speaking, hydrogen trucks can reduce emissions without compromising carbo capacity, or requiring long breaks. 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, 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 as little as 15 minutes. this would allow
6:42 pm
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 cut, 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 $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 a hydrogen transport that's 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 that to a fully electric truck. it needs energy to charge a battery,
6:43 pm
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 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 manufacturers. like time learned
6:44 pm
folder for betting on hydrogen are not vetting on it instead of batteries. but in addition to batteries, hydrogen truck producers basically want 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 code is the weight, not the space to be friends, product, then we have for 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 pack. so instead of waiting to recharge them, that would probably require industry wide cooperation on battery swap system. so
6:45 pm
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 scares with entire regions in europe, not having any at all. when it comes to you, v charging, there's more union, that's where those 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 need because we see that these business will come, right? because the regulatory decisions, the policy rates certainty for us to make this investment, the same needs to happen to spur manufacturers and to mass producing 0 emissions trucks. except 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 those
6:46 pm
battery and fuel cell trucks and you tackled their infrastructure and supplied. there is one charge specific to hydrogen trucks. and that's the price of fuel. we need to commercialize the production of function. currently when you're talking about a green hydrogen, be a producing hydrogen and very small is 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 can still get all the stuff to us that we use every day without all those emission. some big question still need 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
6:47 pm
via is the best side is via casa, often stuck in traffic. the why do and never stand still. why does the traffic run so smoothly on their high ways? 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 said not block, something come to say we're working on one common goal is to draw fluids into them . better drivers,
6:48 pm
in some sense, into our 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 is loan from them as things and, and so basically create colonies with a social structure in which its members have different professions and tasks. they work as a team to tackle problems we drive is on the other hand of selves of silt, individuals who just want to reach out destination phones. the main reason is so that you do not have enough capacity. um, of course the other were using some but these, these reasons, 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 that they have to break hard individual mistakes. can that explain all the traffic jams or assemble works incentives,
6:49 pm
those heavy weather conditions. but most of that 60 percent 70 percent originally, this is the same time it's in the same range that can have quite an impact. here's a small selection of the longest traffic time. around 2500000 people, slave houston before hurricane rita hits 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 for a few moments. his that's almost all the way to rhea and in most go in november
6:50 pm
2012. the heavy russian winds have resulted in catastrophic congestion for 3 days and 3 nights, locking down the main highway between st. petersburg and the russian capital so how can we plan call traffic based and how can we avoid traffic tons? what ends have over us? is it just the behavior of the sales or to speak with? and so it really is a case of one for all and off for one. i spoke 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 something's some drivers could learn from old offers on the side of the drivers so that it wasted. and that is the thing which hinders the officers to be effective.
6:51 pm
on the road in germany's largest city by song, been in the icon, see it the same compared to other cities around the world. traffic in berlin isn't bad at all. let's take a look at some of the worst. and the sort of in capital a minute drive is lost, an average of 100 hours of that time stuck in traffic in 2022. the sugar type is 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 has a problem here. the on demand, you know,
6:52 pm
drive is, was stuck in traffic for an incredible 134 hours in 2022. that would never happen to, as they simply have space or traffic rules on the chance communicate chemically. they use a mix of pheromones, signals like watch out or there's a food here or go this way with welcome to find us, put on. if it gets long for the community, they want to have the system up to them. they want to have a working on a slope which is not stopped by individuals. so we can learn from the ends. but i don't think this one then keeps the people to behave like that. especially think that people get even more aggressive when the in the cause, the
6:53 pm
many people have very, very strong time schedule. and if there is a gen which they don't know that they've become very angry, they are in the car under numerous, nobody knows your name. so the b, b and do with in the typical divergence more things that normally wouldn't not do i or so they liked this type of item. i mean, not me. the car is more list to a private environment. it's like at home. it's more, this is additional add on to your home and you don't like the people come near to you. so this is limited about $0.50 a minute just so there's other costs 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
6:54 pm
main causes of traffic tons. so why and so much space it behaved on the road. first of all, they're driving not that fast. it 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 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, as and 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 the extra thinking of us humans. how much time do people in germany spend stuck in traffic every year or the killer,
6:55 pm
mrs. driven on jim rhodes per year. more than 500000000000 and with it, this kid them is the drive. they stand still for some time. so in gen, 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 medic systems that we can put the behavior then this would 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 and from as means learning to when things, when it comes to avoiding traffic terms and behaving well and traffic
