there's been a rapid increase in the number of electric cars sold in the uk — and i'm talking pure electricpared to last. but for many of us, buying an electric vehicle is still a new experience and there are a few things that you need to think about. electric is great in the city and over recent years, there has been an increasing number of charging points emerging on our high streets. but for longer journeys, things can get a little bit trickier. the range an electric car can drive before needing a boost has increased greatly. there are now many on the market advertised to be able to do around 280 miles on a single charge. while all electric cars show a calculation of how long you should be able to drive for, they are rarely accurate. if you're a smoother driver, you will definitely benefit from an electric car. in terms of the weather, that is another impact that can affect electric car range. generally when it is colder, range falls. you might expect to see something like a 20%, maybe 25% drop off in range at the most extreme points in winter. weight also is an impact so if you have a h

there's been a rapid increase in the number of electric cars sold in the uk and i'm talking pure electric year compared to last. but for many of us, buying an electric vehicle is still a new experience and there are a few things that you need to think about. electric is great in the city and over recent years, there's been an increasing number of charging points emerging on our high streets. but for longerjourneys, things can get a little bit trickier. the range an electric car can drive before needing a boost has increased greatly. there are now many on the market, advertised to be able to do around 280 miles on a single charge. while all electric cars show a calculation of how long you should be able to drive for, they're rarely accurate. but if you run out ofjuice on a longerjourney than most motorway service stations to have charges. and in the majority of cases, they will have rapid charges. but rapid means different things to different cars. it's not only about how fast the charging point is, but also the speed your car can charge. the combination determining how long a stop you wou

and we now go north and buy electric motors. i want to know chris on electric motor for sure because my car just started immediately into hybrid mode. make sure it's only exactly as it was ascending on the wall and you can switch it on electric motor. and please don't forget to switch off electric systems which use energy like c t, t ng and steering wheel heating. so it cannot kill my range now is 42 kilometers. i tell them to kill me. it is really good. i went down to 3737, not too much slope and don't already on monday percent. i want 80. 3, married for the 1st meet in regaining energy and recuperation. how many wrench you have left? you know, i'm afraid. like i'm going to lose pretty much because i'm 18 kilometers and 56 percent left. and you know, i don't tell you my breasts gone well right out. so it's an interesting $8.00 to understand you had a range of 40 kilometers an hour. we still have 36 kilometers. that means it's doing very well. every, every, every moment we're breaking new and back in our batteries. so for hybrid

but unlike most electric car.car battery acts as an energy stop can also power up his home. vehicle to grid, it has com pletely vehicle to grid, it has completely changed the way i run my electricity. it all happens through the charger on his fault which conveys the type of current used to either power a car or provide electricity at home. each night, david says the amount of electricity he wants to buy from the grid to run his cart the next morning. you could set a schedule. for example, i tell it at six o'clock in the morning and enough energy in my car to be able to get to work and back. whatever is left over the next day when he gets home from work, can be used in the house via the charger. essentially, i am house via the charger. essentially, iam buying my energy quite cheaply but when i am exporting it from the vehicle i am getting paid 31p kilowatt per hour. he is buying energy to stop in his car during off—peak times and sells it back during peak hour when the prices are higher. this pilot scheme is run by

totally electric range then it's 40 kilometers and driving electric in a city is perfect. normally, recently, bit bumpy system off the mobo is very comfortable the whole system and to take and system is a little bit tricky to work with because it's all touchscreen and not perfect. at any cost, because you don't find the positions or exactly with your finger all the time. they have still a great here and that makes it easier to handle. well, this ph d. in trick is really, really nice. something i really enjoy. because you have the odd unary combustion engine and you also have to electric motor, which is so nice and this car is able to use of both pretty much at the same time. this car is a different mode to you. we have the hybrid electric motor and you say these things means i'm actually driving the car on normal, gets it's charging, it's battery recuperation which is really nice. and then the city, the mody you should prefer is the hybrid one. because when you go slowly in the city at night 50 kilometers per hour,, the car is an electric motor and to increase your r.p.m.,

push them to a transformation to electric mobility. i think the mission is i read the balanced and if you look what it is, steak, it absolutely makes sense to build on the success of to programs like they know what's he wants to extend it and to help to notch to market in the right direction . and it said it, it's, there are 3 players who need to play in india to make it successful. it's the government, it's the industry itself. and of course it's the consumers. so we need measures in all 3 levels to make this a challenge success not only for the child, but also to reach the climate goals of the european union and of the federal republic of germany. now if we look at the ema building sector, obviously the big job or not here will german carmakers be able to catch up with this additional financial support from the state? definitely the answer is that definite. yes. if you look at the clip, acknowledge she's like the electric power train drive state that the german industry has not forgotten how to build excellent cars. so you can take t

goes on the electric range only. so now we left the room and when you go in, this is the wall will see 4 to the car itself is on the market for them. use the plug in hybrid version blocking hybrid means this car has engines on the that is a combustion engine. and an electric engine. this is compared to its competitors, real premium car. you have to find materials, grade level, all this rather. but this trip be normal at the price of $60000.00 euro this is the jeep compas for exe, and it's been made in the italian city of oh yeah, it was produced in mexico. so this is the plug in hybrid. it has an engine on the knees. it's a $130.00 horse power, and the electric motor is in the trunk, basically. and inside it looks quite neat. but compared to the volvo, it looks a lot cheaper. i have to admit. so the card stands here. it's about $40000.00 euro . so that's a good price for let's go for it. so i stop now with my test drive in the moguls through the city of the 1st thing, i can say, if you put it on the eco, all the hybr

totally electric range then it's 40 kilometers and driving electric in the city. it's perfect. normally a little bit bumpy. system off, the volvo is very comfortable the whole system and to take them in system is a little bit tricky to work with because it's all touchscreen and touchscreen is not perfect in cost because you don't find the position so exactly with your fingers all the time. about that they have still a great form here and that makes it easier to remember. well this ph d. in training is really, really nice, something i totally enjoy because you have the odd unary combustion engine and you also have to electric motor were just so nice and this car is able to use it both pretty much at the same time. this car is different mode to you. we have a hybrid electric motor and he saved means i'm actually driving the car on normal gets it's charging, it's battery recuperation which is really nice. and then the city, the mody you should prefer is the hybrid one. because when you go slowly in the city and then 50 kilometers per hour,, the car is an electric motor and you inc

we produce 700000 kilowatt hours of electricity. we get $0.09 now, and that means we're paid to feed in tariff of between 50060000 euros. but if that drops to below $20000.00 euros a year, and it's not going to cover our costs that renewables seem to be on the retreat without state subsidies, some 40 percent of old bio gas plants are also no longer profitable. the government's price guarantees helped green energy, find its feet in germany. now the industry is having to go it alone. the whole world could be on the cusp of a giant boom in solar energy though. and that's because of the huge drop in the price of the technology. international renewable energy agency says in the past decade, solar costs of fallen by 82 percent. we visited an energy provider that's installing, germany's biggest, so the park in the state of brandenburg these panels are pretty easy to install, but there are thousands of them still to go. in the countryside near berlin, germany's biggest solar park is taking shape to us and the project manager sector has been

and the 1st thing i can say is, if you put it on the eco totally electric range, then driving electric in the city is perfect. normally, a little bit bumpy. system off the very comfortable the whole system and to take and system is a little bit tricky to work with because it's all touchscreen and not perfect in cost because you don't find the positions or exactly with your finger all the time about that they have still a great form here and that makes it easier to handle well, this ph d. be clocked in is really, really nice something i really enjoy because you have the odd in there. we combustion engine and you also have to electric motor were just so nice and this car is able to use it both pretty much at the same time. this kind of different mode to you. we have a hybrid electric motor and say, these safe means i'm actually driving the car on normal gas while it's charging it's battery. due to cool recuperation, which is really nice. and then the city, the mody you should prefer is the hybrid one. because when you go like slowly or in the city at like 50 kilometers per hour,, the car

so you know, electricity and access to electricity has become part. easingly important when you look at energy poverty and poverty, it's increasingly overlapping. if we want to end poverty in the 21st century we're going to have to end energy poverty. the question becomes how to you do that? that's where we see such enormous potential today especially with what we've seen with technology and price of technologies over the last 10, 15 years. just opening up a much more diverse set of options especially for low income economys that can't necessarily afford to build out a traditional centralized grid everywhere and as quickly as it's need in today's economic context. >> yeah, i think a lot of people don't make the connection between poverty and access to electricity. we'll talk a little bit more about that. but rob, your focus on addressing the barriers to achieving universal and onomically impactful electricification and delivering hat road map has got to be a multi-sectorial mission. rob: it is. we're focused largely on the african problem and africa i

the future is electric.ecause of the massive saving in fuel cost of electric over petrol or diesel, the monthly cost of the vehicle is no greater. certainly, it‘s not cheaper but it‘s not greater. charging your electric car is a major issue. finding one of these in some places is like finding a unicorn. the government is spending £1.3 billion to expand the charging network but that is just over 1% of what it is spending on high—speed rail, hs2. nuclear energy is getting public money, £500 million of it. the prime minister wants jobs at the giant sizewell c plant in suffolk. smaller kit style nuclear reactors being developed by rolls—royce will get subsidy, too. even though there is no solution yet for nuclear waste. offshore wind will play a key role, producing enough electricity to power every home by 2030. ministers hope it will support up to 60,000 jobs. cities in the north—east should benefit. the government wants them to become new technology hubs for making wind turbines and creating the clean fuel, hy

and trans mild hybrid electric vehicles, the electric motor, the combustion engine. when it's not working at top in the fission, see, for example, a car coasting braking system saves fuel and doesn't need to be plugged in to charge. and it's quite inexpensive. produce some emissions as you cannot drive an all electric mode for hybrid electric vehicle. and for being me the combination of everybody there's a hybrid version of the hybrid stands out for its high performance and low fuel consumption. and if you charge it regularly of course all this technology only makes sense when you use it. probably. so when you've got to plug in hybrid, whenever you've got the time, plug it in and don't let your internal combustion engine do the charging. thanks, john. we've learned a lot. i know it's tough, tough friends in berlin, and thank you, ross. thoughts on some of the that's not just hold on, but if you do all sorts of mind talk to that guy get rituals. now you vote the same with the outcome of mind since next. think the time, you know, you along the road probably will be in

pacific gas and electric is closing diable canyon. the real factor in the united states is just practicalities. i mean, we have the discovery of natural gas in large quantities and it's much cheaper and it's much easier. of course, nuclear power still has its champions. one of the things we want to do a deal way to make nuclear energy cool. again, you know, one of the problems that the people who object to nuclear power really have. and can we solve those? technically, can we make nuclear power that doesn't produce waste the last for hundreds of thousands of years? can we make nuclear power plants? they can melt down and i think the answer, those questions is actually yes, i know you can be confident. going to happen this time in the western world. i think the contretemps going to happen in the far east. but some of the oldest player china make no mistake about it. this is an important day for britain. a british plant financed by france and china. the focus has been on a planet called hinckley point c. . and the claim was made by a.t.

and what we put inside is mainly a controller and the electrical solar electric motor. a battery as a source of power, replacing the fuel tank or some digital controls of throttle. the theory i invite she's become an old laptops, are assembled into rechargeable battery units for the e. bike. and the recycling loop continues, even when the batteries become too weak to use in the e. bikes. so what we do get in your batteries, use it for your mobility. after that, when they lose a bit of power, we ate up with it. we put it in storage systems like our power resolves, one loses again, bit of power. we go through tortures and other small obligations before it goes through to be disposed. delivery month francis will clear is one of the 20 drivers testing the transformed bikes. on average, he has to return to board a walk twice a day to recharge. he rents the batteries for the evening to have less than 3 euros a day. all in all. these has cut his operating costs by half, but there is still one thing that bothers him. world of one place where we, where we swap their batteries. b
