Driving my VW Id.7 at topspeed for a long time

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Wow, average ~30 kWh/100 km at nearly 160 km/h average speed, this is great! 🤩

[@pedromiguelareias]

Not really... M3 highland RWD is better and goes up to 204 kph gps.

[@Foersom_]

@@pedromiguelareias A M3 is BMW ICE. Also you did not even tell what your consumption is at 160 km/h.

[@pedromiguelareias]

@@Foersom_ No, Tesla Model 3 (M3=Model 3) Highland is the latest iteration of Tesla's model.

[@Foersom_]

@@pedromiguelareias Ok, that Tesla model 3 is a segment smaller than ID7. ID7 is same size as Tesla S. And again you have not told what is the consumption at 160 km/h for your Tesla 3 SR RWD.

[@christianolsen9781]

@@Foersom_ well my TM3 Highland SR (I agree M3 is a performance BMW) is still sub 25kwh/100kms @ 160. If I keep below 140 it is sub 20kwh/100. Efficiency is in a league of its own. As you say ID7 is same size as Model S - which has much better aero so consumption would be better and the Model S has larger battery so its range will be better. But the S is also quite a bit more expensive. I think the ID7 is a great option if you need the room and like comfort.

Amazing how quite the car is and how solid it seems to ride and handle.

[@AndyBrandt]

A bit disappointed you did not add detailed statistics at the end. I hoped to learn what was average speed and consumption.

[@connclissmann6514]

I'm jealous of your rest access to the Autobahn system. National 120km limit on motorways around here. Thanks this fun video.

[@OutrunCid]

For those wondering the average speed / power draw, the display states an average of 30kWh/100km, at an average speed of 150 km/h. Furthermore, he started out with 80% battery, and reached 21% SoC after having driven 131km in 50 minutes. Extrapolating those numbers: 75% SoC (80% --> 5%) may net you 166.5 km, in 63.5 minutes 95% (100% --> 5%) may net you 210.0 km, in 80.5 minutes My takeaways: Flooring it on long, multi-stint sections in Germany will have you stop every hour. For a single-stint journey under 200km, you can go all out without major concerns other than having a destination charger. For long distance drivers, you'll want to opt for the larger battery, especially given the fact these are spring temperatures. Also, really curious to see the 150km/h numbers, as that might make for a more reasonable balance and compromise between travel time and power draw.

[@Foersom_]

@Chris; good to see that you start using OBD2 and CarScanner in your videos. There are lots interesting info. E.g. max dynamic discharge amperes multiplied by battery voltage will give max power kW that battery can deliver to motor.

[@Artoootube]

Nice test, glad u like your car, that seems to be the most important takeaway.

[@michaeltuomenoksa3605]

Would be awesome if you could update the range numbers for the id7 to your spreadsheets now that the weather is mild.

[@BatteryLife]

Haven't done the tests yet 😉 June is the plan

[@MrDJforce]

@@BatteryLife Sounds good looking forward to it

[@kevinn1158]

I like the interior of this car. Much nicer than the ID4 with its piano black door handles and everywhere else.

[@pauladams5673]

I am looking forward to your review of the Volkswagen ID.7 GTX.

[@abraxastulammo9940]

12:36 197.11 hp is 147 kW recuperation / regenerative braking from only the rear motor. 👌

[@fgerstm2069]

I still have to wait 6 weeks for our ID.4. So jealous of you beeing able to drive the updated versions of the ID-series. What was the diffetence in peak consumption between Enyak and ID.7 at top speed?

[@Foersom_]

11:10 You have lowest and highest battery point (module) temperature, good choice. As it is cold outside the battery is limited by the lowest value ~25 C. when you regen the battery (parasitic) resistance will cause a slight increase in battery temperature. The warmer battery is why potential charging power goes up. You will get good charging speed at >=25C, you will get max charge speed at >=30C. Also the SOC should be

[@frenuro9457]

What was the average consumption at the end of the ride?

[@briangentle5515]

Yes, that would be interesting to know. Also how far you managed to get on the battery from full to 15% approximately at that kind of speed. thanks

[@PIDOFREAK]

Damn i thought i could go at least from Cologne to Nürnberg at those speeds but i guess i was a bit naive. I am thinking about getting this car as a company car and i need to be in all of Germany at times, so this would be a bit of a hinderance. @Battery Life: Have you checked at which speed you get the most km/h - including charging time? And how far do you then get with one charge? Im interested in the VW id.7 Pro S (86kWh)

[@MrTrencho]

There was a point in the video, at 37% where the OBD was showing 300+ horsepowers 😅

[@Foersom_]

"300 horsepower" It is confusing unit Chris has setup in CarScanner, better use kW. The value here is electric power from battery going to motor (or inverter).

[@Foersom_]

12:40 For the power limit please set CarScanner units to kW instead of hp, it makes power calculation with voltage and ampere easier. hp is like an old hippie-measurement unit, out dated when discussing battery power.

[@RuneLaursen-xh4sc]

Wery Nice...better range than i thought..❤❤

[@danielardelian2]

I think the power limit in the middle of the video is from the MOTOR temperature.

[@tommyjakobsen5504]

And why not, what is good at 180, and is the diffrents for 200, I don't need a 2.5tons heavy car.. mine is 1750. So that's better

[@wocket42]

How well does the LFA work at 180km/h?

[@pellealmgren]

What did the average consumption end at?

[@abraxastulammo9940]

29.4 kWh/100 km in this video - tesla charging video has consumption further down at 17 % SoC (but slowed down)

[@AndyBrandt]

Wow

[@vhol93]

Cool

I got chinese huawei seres 5. It goes 225 and in cabin is like car is parked on place...

Really? I test drove one and it was really loud.

@@Testdriver2804 Maybe I'm more sensitive to the sound but that was the first thing I noticed when I reached around 110kmh on the Seres 5, compared to the car I'm driving.

[@wocket42]

It's completely pointless, but once in a while you need to do this with your EV. :-) I'm also enjoying my occasional 180+km/h rides in my 38kWh Ioniq.

[@carolbernas]

180 km/h and B? 🤔

[@christianolsen9781]

Please look some more on your screen with 180 kmh...

[@badbasic]

First!😅
