1
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,160
To set

2
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,520
off we take the handbrake off,
same as any car

3
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,280
but with a fancy electronic handbrake,
but in this case, reverse

4
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,480
gear is

5
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,800
a press button and that's it.

6
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,400
We can now maneuver the car.

7
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,680
Yeah, we have a rear view camera

8
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,600
and standard parking sensors.

9
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,600
It's literally just a press of a button
again, and we're back into drive.

10
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,040
Absolute silence;
all we've got a little bit of road noise.

11
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,000
Nothing else whatsoever.

12
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,440
On the dashboard,
we've got our little gauge showing us

13
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,360
whether we're accelerating
or decelerating.

14
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,640
On this,

15
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,360
it comes with three driving modes.

16
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,360
At the moment, we're in eco mode,

17
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,880
so we press the drive mode button.

18
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,120
We now go into normal board
for everyday driving.

19
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,400
See, we've now
got a wonderful blue dashboard.

20
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,080
And then it also has a nice bright
red sport mode.

21
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,280
On the right hand
side, here is our approximate range.

22
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:52,240
So, how far we can travel
with the current charge in the battery.

23
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,680
As we change mode,
that's your mileage, it changes.

24
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,800
When you're in the likes of Sport mode,
it's designed

25
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,320
to set off quicker and go quicker,
so you're getting less out the battery.

26
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,160
You put it into eco mode
and it's designed to go as far as possible

27
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:11,720
on the amount of charge
that's in the battery.

28
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,000
Electric cars tend to be a little
bit quicker off the mark.

29
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:24,680
There's no

30
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,360
lag with an electric car; it just goes.

31
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,920
In the middle of the dashboard
is a little picture.

32
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,840
If you can just about make it out,
it's a picture of a car with the battery.

33
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,360
As we're driving, it actually shows
which way the energy is flowing

34
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,360
in and out of the battery, on the left
hand side is our power gauge,

35
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,600
so as we set off,
the lights come up into the blue.

36
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,000
We've got power coming out of the battery,
going to the wheels as we slow down.

37
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,600
The power comes back from the wheels
and recharges the battery.

38
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,360
On the dashboard in the middle,

39
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,320
we can now go into the specifics
for electric vehicles.

40
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,280
You can actually see

41
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,600
how far you've gone

42
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,800
and what sort of energy consumption
you've been using.

43
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,720
So I think this is a 54 kilowatt battery.

44
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,920
So on that you're looking at about 160
miles.

45
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,840
Obviously, the more economical you drive
it, the further you're going to get.

46
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,040
Same as you do with any car.

47
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,720
On the 19th of January,
it says that it was driven 13 miles

48
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,760
and the average consumption was only
3.7 miles per kilowatt hour.

49
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:39,000
So it says here
we've got two different types of charger.

50
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,400
The ones I showed before
were the AC Portable Charger.

51
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,080
So at the moment, we've got 71% battery
left in the car

52
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,080
on that slow charger, it's
looking at about seven hours

53
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,480
to charge it to full,
and that's with a 71% battery.

54
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,680
If you use

55
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,480
a proper charging station,
that then comes down

56
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,800
to just over two hours
if we get to a rapid charger.

57
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,720
We're down to 1 hour and 56 minutes.

58
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,680
The reason you're not because
a lot of difference between these two is

59
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,400
rapid charging works
best up to about 80% of the battery.

60
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,160
When a DC charger gets to 80%, then slows
right down

61
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,920
to about the same rate as an AC charger.

62
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,840
It even has a separate thing
for the satnav

63
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,920
because it's an electric vehicle,
so it'll show you how far you can go.

64
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,280
And it also can give you
the most economical route to drive.

65
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,920
One of the other advantages
of an electric car is

66
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:42,840
you can have a wonderful app
for your phone, which allows you

67
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,000
some control over your car
and also to receive some of the details

68
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,280
from the vehicle.

69
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,000
In this case,
we can lock and unlock the car.

70
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,040
We can also turn the climate control on.

71
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,400
So if we're going out on a
especially cold morning

72
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,320
and we don't particularly
want to get into a cold car,

73
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,360
we can open the app up,
and you just literally press a button.

74
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,040
And the app

75
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,840
sends a signal to the car
and turns the heating on in the car.

76
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,680
That has just pinged up, tell me

77
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,880
'success, climate control activated'.

78
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,920
Good if the car's frozen up as well

79
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,680
because it means you don't have to sit
and wait for your car to defrost,

80
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,880
you turn this on, the car remains locked
and you come out

81
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,720
and all your windows are defrosted,
no scratching

82
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,960
with a scraper
and spraying de-ice everywhere.

83
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,120
One of the other functions
this particular one has,

84
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,200
it has a map on it.

85
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,440
We click on the map and it shows where
I am and it shows me where my car is.

86
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,320
So it tracks the vehicle.

87
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,000
It also allows you to do

88
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,920
route planning on your phone.

89
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,640
So if you're going somewhere,
you can plan your route on the form

90
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,240
and then send it to the satnav in the car.

91
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,560
So you don't have to sit in the car and
work out your route where you're going.

92
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,240
It knows exactly where you're going

93
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,880
because you just sent the details to
the car.

94
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,560
It will also tell me

95
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,800
the status of my car,

96
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,480
so it tells me how far I can go,
what the climate controls

97
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,120
set to, it tells me whether the car's
charging or not.

98
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,680
And it tells me how much charge there is
left on the battery, so I can check to see

99
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:30,560
whether I can get where
I'm going before I've got in the car.

100
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,400
So if I'm planning on going on a long
journey, I can look at before and go

101
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,960
'oh no, I need to charge the car some more
because there's not enough

102
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,600
juice in the battery
to get where I'm going'.

103
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,240
So there is quite a bit of information
you can get

104
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,560
just out of a simple app on your phone.

105
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:48,760
It doesn't cost anything,
it comes as a function with the car.

106
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,200
All you have to do is set up an account.

107
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,200
You have to be connected to the car

108
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160
and you can't do that
without having access to the car.

109
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,960
So it's not like somebody else can set
one of these up and access your car.

110
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,080
You've got to put details in for the car
into your phone.

111
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:10,080
It then communicates with the car
and it gets you an authentication code

112
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,080
that comes up in the car that you've got
to put in the app before you can use it.

113
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,400
Pretty much
come to the end of the video now.

114
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,200
So today we've covered the Hyundai
Ionic, fully electric

115
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,480
some of the things that are unique
to electric cars,

116
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,520
and some of the functions
that you get that you don't get on

117
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,440
a standard internal combustion
engine car, petrol or diesel.

118
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,200
Our next video will be on a Hyundai
Tucson, so that's a hybrid car.

119
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,240
It doesn't plug in at all.

120
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,840
It's an internal combustion
engine and an electric motor,

121
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,960
but you don't have to plug it in
and charge it.

122
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,760
You just get in it
fill it with fuel and drive it.
