Welcome to another test.
Benny, today we are driving together
Today we are testing two exciting electric cars.
Both are new cars
Both are in front of our door.
Hyundai Kona fully equipped against Kia e-Niro fully equipped .
We're gonna race - not with regards to time but with regards to percentages.
And we not just drive around Leipzig but rather long distance.
Let's drive to Munich - my home town!
Exactly. And we're gonna race!
Not regarding time but with regards to state of charge at arrival.
State of charge is right now at 97% and 98% - we will consider the 1% difference at the end.
We will drive together at the same speed but of course not in slipstream.
The car that arrives in Munich with the higher State of Charge is the winner.
And of course we are not cheating
One battery is cold and the other one is already warm.
Both cars were in the garage during the night
temperature was 10 to 12 degrees Celsius (50 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit)
Both cars were not recently charged.
Both cars are on winter tires of the same size.
So we have a level playing field for both cars.
Let's roll!
We are now about half an hour on the road. It's not dark yet.
A few more words on the key data.
I am driving the Hyudnai Kona and I drive ahead.
cruise control is set to 120 km/h (75 mph)
Temperature is set at 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit)
We drive in normal mode - not eco mode.
The heating is set on 'driver only'.
Seat heating and steering wheel heating is on and according to taste.
Interesting fact: The Kia e-Niro has a higher spedoemter deviation
Benny is driving the e-Niro and his cruise control is set to 123 km/h (76 mph)
I am in the Kona and I am on 120 km/h (75 mph)
We are driving uphill right now.
Tell me your current average consumption.
Right now 23.8 kWh/100km (38.3 kWh/100 mi)
I have 24.5 kWh/100 km (39.4 kWh/100 mi). Interesting!
We are sitting in the Kia e-Niro and we drove 230 km (143 mi)
Average consumption was 22.8 kWh/100 km (36.7 kWh/100 mi).
Left we see the remaing range of 61 km ( 38 mi) which equal 20% SOC.
And these are the values for the Hyundai Kona:
228 km (142 mi), 23.4 kWh/100 km ( 37,7 kWh/100mi)
23 km (14 mi) remaining range
8% state of charge
Let's see if we get more data.
94% was used for driving, 4% for air condition and 2% for board-electronics
Outside temperature was as low as -7 degrees Celsius (19 degrees Fahrenheit),
right now we are at -5 degrees Celsius ( 23 degrees Fahrenheit)
one, two, start
charging card
In the Hyundai Kona we charge with
51 kW
the display sais 53 minutes to 80% SOC
the display in the Kia e-Niro sais
52 kW charging power
46 minutes to 80%
Benny, what do you think. Charging is fun here, right?
Yes, it is indeed a nice charging station.
And, driving and discharging the battery one time, we were not able to warm up the cars. We are ONLY at 50 kW.
We'll have to see if this gets any better.
I am in the Kona. At 60% SOC the charging power was after all at 70 kW charging power.
Now the first speed went down to 56 kW.
Now the car is at 61% SOC.
Let's see what the e-Niro looks like.
the car is at 64%
The charging stations cut us of because half an hour was over but we started again.
same for both cars
At 64% SOC we have 57 kW charging power.
We have now 75% SOC in the e-Niro. At 73% SOC the charging power went down to 36 kW. That is typical.
Let's change the cars. At 80% we will start driving.
This one (the e-Niro) should be faster at 80%. Lets see how the Kona looks like.
We jump to the Kona. State of charge is 73% at 36 kW charging power.
it almost looks like they've now closer together.
We drive to the charging station of the future roadhouse Furholzen.
There we will have another charging stop.
We now turn on the winter mode.
Let's see if that helps to increase the charging speed right from the beginning by a couple kW.
The Kona closed the gap here on the charging station.
We now switch the order of the cars.
It's freezing cold.
We have 167 km (104 mi) still to drive.
We turn the heating up by 1 degree.
The 19 degrees weren't too cold but we are freezing a bit because we jumped between the cars all the time.
I am driving the e-Niro in the lead.
Cruise control is set to 123 km/h (76 mph)
The Kona is set to 120 km/h (75 mph)
We have increased temperature by 1 degree to 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).
We are on the way to Munich.
Next stop in 109 km (68 mi), less than an hour.
And!
We just saw an (Jaguar) I-PACE.
Nice story:
We saw an IPACE on the slow lane on the right, right between the trucks.
we have greeted nicely
I guess he overdid it and now needs to drive slowly,
in order reach the next charging station with his 90 kWh battery ;-)
Arrival in Furholzen
22% SOC, 67 km (42 mi) remaining range.
Average consumption 22.8 kWh/100 km (36.7 kWh/ 100 mi)
We drove over 400 km (249 mi).
You could say we are almost there. But we want to charge before driving into Munich.
Who knows if they've got power in the state capitol.
Let's see what Benny is doing.
Benny, tell me!
51 km (32 mi) remaining range
18% remaining SOC.
Average consumption at 22.7 kWh/100 km ( 36.5 kWh/100 mi).
Okay. Now they are closer together.
Apparently there is a small windslip effect.
But we were certaintly not close to each other. The adapative cruise control set the distance
The two cars are now again very close to each other.
Let's charge for exactly 30 minutes.
Ok. Now it is 9:07 pm and we aim for 9:37 pm.
Let's see who wins :-)
We could not find a 100 kW charging station.
We only found 50 kW stations.
There are some placeholders.
but no 100 kW stations.
If you know how to find them here, please leave a comment.
Phantom charging stations!
Are this the stations of the future, or stations of the past - we have no idea.
We've solved the mystery.
We have asked our local jokers
We have asked the guys from Cleanelectric Podcast.
They immortalized themselves here with a sticker.
They told us that this is a misentry in the charging register.
Here is only one 75 kW charger, the register mentions four.
That is the fast one.
Our two cars charge right there.
Once the challenge is over we will try this one.
Just to see which one can charge faster.
Maybe there are some bonus points for one or the other.
We have charged for 30 minutes.
Mission accomplished: 400 km (249 mi) with the Kona and the e-Niro.
The Kia e-Niro is the winner with a margin of 4%.
4% in 400 km means that the e-Niro is 1% better per 100 km.
So they are really close to each other at the same speed.
So the 50 kg extra weight of the e-Niro are no disadvantage.
Narrow victory for the e-Niro.
That was our Autobahn-Challenge with the two cars
Both are close to each other and yet they can be so different.
I hope you have enjoyed the ride together with us.
I hope you gained some insights.

See you next time, ciao!
If you enjoyed it, thumbs up!
20 minutes are gone and the I-PACE has also arrived now.
Action!
What's it called again?
Furholzen - Roadhouse of the Future!
And then...
...let's make ...
...an outro?...
yes, ok?
I think you can stop the video...
