Your son brought back memories, one day we were up from the city staying on the family farm, after a few chores on Saturday, I said to my 12 year old we’re going to town as he approaches my minivan. I toss him the keys, he was freaked, but he did a great job driving farm roads into town to pick up a few things for dinner and drove home. he still talks about it and he’s 43.

I grew up on a wirking farm. I was forced to drive at around 8 or 9. Older brother wasn't at home and daddy needed help feeding the cattle. Hay bales stacked higher than the cab on an old round fenders P/U with 3 on the column. I had to sit on the edge of the seat and I was scared to death I was ginna pop the clutch and throw daddy off the hay. Driving the tractor was a breeze compared.

One of my most fun memories is when I took my 15 year old daughter to a local snow covered parking lot to teach her how to drive in the snow, (turn into a spin, don't lock up your brakes, etc) and I was laughing and smiling the entire time. I had way more fun than she did I think and I'll never forget that. She is 37 now with 3 kids, enjoy your kids while they are little because they will not be little long. I enjoyed your video Craig, I feel EV's have a long way to go before they will ever be widely adopted. EV's are a lot more inconvenient to drive in general that their ICE counterparts are at the moment.

EV tech is improving at a pace unmatched by any other technology. It is really not that inconvenient once you learn the ins and outs of EV transportation. It is far less expensive to charge your EV at home. A 220v charger will charge any EV from 0 to 100% overnight. A 110v charger will be way longer than that. Charging at home is better for overall battery life. Supercharging to often cooks the battery and it will probable need replacing before 150000 miles. If seen EVs that only charge on home chargers with 300k miles and still going strong. Doing your homework is key to a good EV experience.

The reason why it’s not braking early enough while in cruise control is because it probably doesn’t actually have adaptive cruise control. The radar up front is there just for the pre collision system. That’s because it’s a base trim Audi. I have the same thing on my Audi a3. If Adaptive cruise control is included it will have settings to adjust the distance when it starts braking. Which is typically located on the cruise control nob by the steering wheel.

26:55 you used a lot of electricity to blast the heat...in an ICE that is waste energy that doesn't cost you anything. In order to produce heat it either has to scavenge it off the battery or use a heating element to create it. nothing consumes electricity more than a heating element (relatively speaking). Same as when you use defrost, I bet it has a drier/dehumidifier in it as well...

I had an Etron SUV. When you open the drivers door the car should shut off. The lights may go on when you get close to the car. The drive settings control the suspension, acceleration, steering and the efficiency settings. I traded my Etron for a BMW iX with 100 miles more range. Cold weather and driving style affect your range. The range meter is called a guess-o-meter for good reason. I do recommend a 240v charger maybe one at home and one at the shop. Good luck and feel free to reach out with any other questions.

In 2015, I had a Leaf and never worried about the infrastructure because I always charged at home. The price is why it's NEVER worth it to charge publicly. It's less than gas, but still highly profitable for the charger company. This is why I believe charging stations, which take a smaller footprint than a gas station are going to be the new big investment. Soon, you'll see EV stations with convenience stores with no gas pumps. Most people don't have a charger when they get an EV. You're supposed to buy one. If you can afford a $100k car, you should be able to afford a charger. Plus, isn't NH one of the states with a charger rebate? Make sure your charging cable is plugged in to a 20A outlet, not a 15A.

I own a Rivian R1S and Tesla Model 3. Charging at home is usually 1/3 the price of gasoline. Traveling on the road at EA or Tesla chargers is roughly the same price as gasoline. 90% of my mileage is from home so I save a bunch of $ on gas especially since I also have grid-tied solar panels. I would guess about 50% of the actual go go juice comes directly from the Sun. Where I live the gird is only about 3% coal, so the environmental elec benefit is real. *Sometimes you can luck out at EA and your charging session is free for any number of reasons.

I don’t know anything about these cars! But would a 220 in your garage charge it faster? Yes, so that’s not too much to pay. Do you have an electrician Set it up, considering the benefits of being able to do it at home

EVs have got a long way to go before they are a practical alternative to gas powered cars. I've seen other KZbin videos and only getting 50% of the expected range is what many people are seeing.

Hi Graig, where you live you'll loose 30% of charge in the winter. You need to get use to it. Best regards

You literally remind me of someone using an iPhone for the first time. The battery sucks, my old flip phone battery last a whole week. Why do I need to go through so many screens to make a redial phone call? On the flip phone, I just unflip and press the green button. And on and on….

technically 13 miles, unless the 1 way trip the gym was only 1.5 miles for a total of 3 miles which isn't what you said. Craig, get a cheapo app, I have fillup its called. I log all my miles and gas usage on that app. you can use it for the same purpose, you will just have to supplement gas price, for kw charge price or whatever. If you fill it up or not. it will do the math for you and keep track of all the info. More importantly, it will keep track of the money, money per mile, money per charge. Put it into an easy to read grid and daily/monthly/yearly format. You can then track the differences in summer vs winter. Different chargers. How the batteries or decomping over time. all of that just by seeing the numbers next to each other. The car you have will, as well. However, it may skewing the numbers to inflate its efficiency, which I noticed most cars onboard computers systems do.

Is there a way to preheat the battery on that unit because 44 kW and you're supposed to get a 150 if it's cold out you need to preheat your battery good video Craig.

you can precondition e-tron / taycan for charging in settings, he was also only 50 percent into the pack so your not going to hold peak charge speeds for the duration

Non-Tesla Ev charging between CT and NJ is horrible. There were only 4 high power fast chargers on my route and they are way off the turnpike and garden state parkway and most are hard to find. Also, the cost is way more than gasoline for an accord or civic. Cost me 38$ to charge 110 miles.

Lots of great info from this video and I appreciate detail that you put into it. Wa One of the big takeaways that I get Is that, by in large, The infrastructure to support EVs on large scale is just not there yet. You mentioned Tesla opening up their charging stations to other cars but it also being very expensive. At what point do all of the manufacturers get together and create universal stations that are inexpensive to all no matter what type of EV they drive? You made mention of only three stations in the entire state of New Hampshire. That kind of sucks, especially if you find yourself in a low power situation out in the boonies somewhere. It's great that you now have the ability to charge it a Tesla station, but it what cost? I really think the Audi e-tron is a super cool car as are the Porsche and the Tesla but they're also way past the price point of the average consumer. The reason I mentioned that is because as people get into the EV scene they really need to do their homework in regard to charging stations if they don't have a Tesla. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks again for the great content
