Nico Rosberg drives a hybrid

[@bwillan]

Nico, “you’re a naughty, naughty swine.” LOL. Great line. Who ever is doing the editing of the videos for Fully Charged needs a pay raise. They are most impressive of late.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

If some of these videos don't start going properly viral, there is something wrong either with KZbin or with the viewers. This channel, most especially since Jonny came on board, is just the best. Every video is interesting... and some like the Robert & Jonny news episodes are properly funny. And the quality of the editing on these bigger videos is just fantastic. This channel needs to skyrocket in popularity.

[@NicoRosberg]

Marc Cote i agree!!!

[@Mireaze]

This Nico guy is pretty good, he should become a professional

[@stressballer]

Nah, he's too old for that. Too late now.

[@darkmist977]

Its a hard one to say tbh, the big three of 2013/2014 were all monsters in their own right, each setting records in different ways, in different tracks, with different technology. As a porsche fanboy its tempting to say the 918 is best but I cant they are all just so good at what they do and they all look fantastic.

[@unicorntomboy9736]

@@darkmist977 the porche looks a bit too wide for me and I do not like the twin exsuasts Also I wish it was fully electric instead

Okay... okay. So, Jonny is one luk, luk, luk, luk, lucky B-stard. Not only being in the 918 Spyder, but when Nico Rosberg is driving it at full chat! Envious, and pleased to see this kind of content too. Am loving Fully Charged and the great videos. There is nothing else anywhere that can touch this channel.

Long time sub here, it has been truly amazing to watch this channel grow (from 20k). Great quality productions, cool guests and stuff! You really make EC's fun. Keep it going guys many thx.

FvGa these guys are super professional! and now e-mobility is going big so its gonna keep growing fast!!!

[@tibbs1990]

I can’t understand why they don’t have more subscribers, it is one of the best produced channels on KZbin. I didn’t have any interest in cars until I started watching fully charged.

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

[@CaninsLupus]

Couldnt agree more, i remember when it was just robert’s enthusiastic ramblings. The production is soo polished and they continue to produce quality content to educate and entertain!

[@olamarvin]

Robert gets first go in the Taycan with Nico at the wheel. Better make sure the bleep device is fully charged.

[@fullychargedshow]

Oh yes, it'll happen and I'm not looking forward to it :-)

[@NicoRosberg]

fullychargedshow lets do it!!!!

[@donaldduck5731]

Just been in Nico's channel, he's just got a rather smart electric motorbike, I've absolutely no doubt in my mind Robert would jump at a chance to be taken around a track on the back of it.

[@Roamor1]

Loved the video, even supercars will get there eventually. Nico is also great to listen to.

[@monty8urns]

Niels Winters super cars will lead the way. All the technology is developed in high end cars as the customers have the money to pay for the result. Once proven it trickles down to mass market. It’s the same for developments within motorsport.

[@NicoRosberg]

Niels Winters thx!

[@90albert0]

That is pure pornography

[@Soordhin]

Great fun episode. Yes, it is a voyage back in time actually, but let's not forget, Porsche actually build their first fully EV car in 1899 and a hybrid three years later. Hope they can translate that into the future. However, since they dropped the ball in the meantime, they sadly have to play catch up to Tesla, as does the whole car manufacturing business, with the possible exception of Nissan-Renault in the low to mid price segment.

[@bigcliffe]

I am very impressed with Nico's thoughts of the car and how quickly he was able to extract that level of performance from it. I like many others quickly forget just how fast these F1 drivers have to react. Plus how much goes into the engineering that creates a machine that we all think we could drive. When you hear an F1 driver admit that he was close to loosing it on the track makes me understand what happens to people who talk about how fast some cars are but will never have the skill or be brave enough to extract the total technology from most of today's hyper cars. Nico is getting better.

Nico has a KZbin channel. It's good, he has got a very likable character.

[@NicoRosberg]

[@almerindaromeira8352]

@Jonathan Bowen why all the criticism. You read his Wikipedia page, me too. I've been in Germany where I live. Sorry if I can't check all car/vlogs on KZbin. I'm just pleased by his presence. And he his the typical very excited German. I know tons of guys with this attitude which is not very common.

[@Miata822]

Such an amazing and groundbreaking car. When it came out suddenly every gear-head (self included) lusted for one ... and had to admit there was "something to this electric thing." Then I saw my first Nissan Leaf on display at the inaugural Grand Prix in Austin. Now on my 2nd EV I know that special feeling of driving electric. I don't think I could ever go back to gas even if they weren't, you know, a necessary step on the road toward saving the human race from misery and abject poverty.

[@ljprep6250]

Bwahahaha! You should have seen your eyes, Jonny! Like saucers when he hit that throttle and went through the gears. That Spyder was impressive and looks like a really, really, really fun car to drive. I drove my boss' 928 to 125mph on southern California roads once, and that was fun. I'd had to pop the dashboard out for them to fix it after a wreck and got to test drive it after I had aligned the wheels. But he had quiet exhaust in it, nothing like that. Thanks, Jonny. Thanks, Nico. That was awesome.

[@adsheff]

I'd love to have a geeks episode which goes into the battery and hybrid technology in depth. 👍

[@zapfanzapfan]

Wow, you didn't throw up, I'm impressed! :-) Koenigsegg has 800 V system so Porsche won't be first with 800 V. First with 800 V pure EV though.

[@redxsage]

Meh. What's it matter, when the highest charging rate on the _distant_ horizon is 350V and Ionity/Electrify America charging stations top out at 150V so far?

[@ruftime]

Well we know that Koenigsegg gets its system from Rimac, so they must have designed the first 800v system?

[@Mrmagor34]

@@ruftime Probably. However, none of Rimac's cars have 800v systems. They are 650v and 720v respectively, according to the specs on their website. But to be fair, 800v is all PR right now.

But nowhere to charge it... lol

[@Mrmagor34]

​@@TeamYankee2 I was just about to say that. There's only one public 800-volt charger, installed by Porsche themselves, as far as I know. Unless there's rapid expansion of these chargers, it won't be anything more than a marketing stunt. Until costs go down in a few years time.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Thanks for the video, and thanks to Nico for the quick drive of the 918 Hybrid. 25km of EV range is a joke though, and the 918 is heavily petrol/combustion biased. Taycan may be a good EV, but it's still going to built in relatively tiny numbers and many years late relative to pioneers like Tesla. It also won't be as good of a value as Model 3, though hopefully it will drive well too.

WHY ARE YALL NOT OVER A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS YET? Y'ALL TOTALLY DESERVE IT.

[@fullychargedshow]

Thanks so much for your enthusiastic comment and indeed, it's a mystery. :-) However, here's the important thing. We are growing very organically, the people who subscribe to Fully Charged actually watch a lot of our output. We get about 5,000 new subscribers a week, we have a 'watch time' (ie, how long people watch shows) that is, according to KZbin, 'world class.' Most KZbin videos are watched for an average of a few seconds, our average is 8 minutes, which is, apparently almost unheard of. So yes, it would be great to have a million subscribers and we're about to really put some effort into getting more, but for a home grown channel to get where we are now has been no small achievement. Please keep watching and tell your mates.

I wonder if the EV mode in such vehicles is good for the engines too in that it can allow for a better cooldown?

[@stephendoherty8291]

So the MissionE will be an a EV sport car So the car will be superexpensive (even for a Porsche) So they currently only sell one hybrid bar the 918 So the Taikan can be charged with a high performance charge network that is not used by any car maker or is build anywhere So there is no plugin hybrid or even an EV spyder-boxter-caymen-911 on offer So it seems curlish to drive in an old hybrid when nothing new was shown and their only EV in development hopefully will have porsche performance

Did not know where else to place this comment. I thoroughly enjoy the fullychargedshow. I am a Techno Geek. I love to see all kinds of Electric Vehicles. Today something just dawned on me. For over a hundred years there has been separation of skills between an Auto Mechanic and an Electrician. Or Truck Mechanic and Electrician. But with the advent of the newer electric vehicles I see those skill set merging. Auto Mechanics will have to have much more Electrician Skills that knowing just the electrical wiring of vehicles and less and less about Internal Combustion and Diesel Engines. Are the Auto Mechanic Trade Schools adjusting to this trend?
