I'm so glad you joined Fully Charged Jonny. You've been nothing short of fantastic since the beginning. It's also freed up Robert to explore all sorts of subjects related to Renewable Energy without feeling the need to constantly do EV reviews which you are far more versed in. The channel just keeps getting better! I'm envious of the trip to Tokyo, Japan is one of my favourite countries.

[@KlausPedersen_gaffa]

I absolutely love the episodes with Jonny Smith. Bringing him on is probably the best move Robert has done for Fully Charged. :-) His look to the camera, when walking by the Japanese men in VR was GOLD. So much said without words.

[@dougjinks9328]

haha, absolutely spot on. he is so cool and understated. love his presenting style.

[@davidf2281]

Jonny is a fantastic presenter. Great stuff.

[@Diode5]

Agree. Jonny loves all types of cars but is naturally excited about EV future. Previously with Robert he knew nothing about cars and then (for the sake of the channel) pretended to be a car expert, that really annoyed me so I'm glad he got Jonny onboard. Other youtube channels that have hipster EV car 'experts' that talk trash anything not EV give me the shits.

[@RichardEricCollins]

Something I have noticed with EV's is that the technology is allowing the designers to be more creative with packaging.

[@indianasquatchunters]

Richard Collins Certainly! They no longer have to worry about a large spot to put the engine. For rwd vehicles the no longer have the large transmission taking up the center console area. It’s like building a car on a piece of plywood with a wheel in each corner!

[@theta2170]

Lots of very exciting vehicles on display! Looking forward to continuing my Fully Charged binge this evening...!

[@5teFX]

Binge watching Fully Charged! All three episodes are brilliantly shot and edited and Johnny is the man.

[@FalloutNewNarwhal]

I love how you have your little notebook out. So cute! 😊

[@dave20thmay]

Looks like a Moleskin.

[@jan.feucht]

brilliant this notebook

[@ahmedlachtar6973]

Jonny is a great presenter and he should definetly report more cars shows because he is amazing at presenting cars and concepts. !

[@j.d2746]

What I love about this channel is the camera shots. Everything yall show looks so crisp.

[@greggScutum]

Those videos are just so high quality!! A pleasure to watch not only because of the cars but also beacause of the way it is filmed. And yeah, Jonny is a great presenter :) Keep the great job! :D

[@MRacer001]

this is the only video of the 5 that showed up in my subscription box

[@TimBox]

A brilliant production...

[@indianasquatchunters]

Tim Box better than TV

[@petermilligan2001]

Loved these videos. Long time viewer. Fully charged has moved on to a new level. Johnny and Robert are a great double act

[@Ryukachoo]

5:01 Do it, fully charged mini series

[@iamconio]

YES! the torque would be ridiculous

[@davedbkk7564]

Noise restrictions - just because there's no engine noise doesn't mean the driver and passengers won't be hollering a whole heap. :-)

[@DanielMcGregor]

Are you also thinking that the Suzuki Jimny would be a excellent platform for that kind of Project? :D

[@hightower2537]

Johnny is my absolute favorite automotive journalist. well done

[@Kriistofor]

This guy has the presentational skills and the stealthy persuasion that will turn concept into production. And that's a great thing for the rest of us

[@suavecolombiano]

You killed it with the eSurvivor joke!

[@countryside_guy]

He tries to be funny but isn't.

[@JuancharroVlogs]

I have never been interested in cars but I seem to be obsessed with EVs for some reason.

[@morosis82]

I've been sort of off the car interest bandwagon for a while also, but EV's have got me back into it. I think it's because there are now some genuinely novel ideas wandering around in the flesh, and EV makes some of them really possible, dare I say it productionable.

[@krusher74]

I would say it's because petrol/diesel cars have always been a compromise of design built around a power train. EV allow the design to be about a mode of transport first. Its a shame that public perception will probably shape them into something boring. For example all teslas look like you could find an engine in them.

[@nunaviancitizen8435]

@@krusher74 So true and accurate

[@xxxdev16xxx]

It misses to touch the car driver’s emotions like rev sound when you floor it down

[@nenon809]

Cause you want to save the planet like us

[@tjappiekonjo1097]

High quality content. Nice to see some glimpses of future Japanese car culture.

[@macronencer]

Johnny loves the ID Buzz so much, he came dressed as one!

[@Charlie-UK]

Great Tokyo binge watch smorgasbord, Jonny & Robert. Thanks for that, great to see some of the Commercial EV's. I enjoyed my FullyCharged binge watch...:-)

[@matthewmason8982]

KZbin obviously don’t want us to binge-watch. This is the only Fully Charged video of 2018 in my subs list. YT doesn’t like anyone spamming vids?

[@maaththecreator]

fantastic show format! reminds of good tv from the 90s, love it

[@lejake]

Awesome! Really well made, thank you!

[@JbtSveZauzeto1]

Oh!My!God! I knew 5 episodes were coming at once but I wasn't really ready for it. :)

[@Markle2k]

3:15 Oh, that's why he likes the Kei-car. The side mirrors match his shoes.

[@Denis-bo8ms]

At 3:13 its awesome that what Jonny Smith is wearing (grays with pop of yellow) is matching the car with yellow mirrors LOL

[@Piemasteratron]

Yet another excellent video guys!

[@pablobyrne6614]

Love this channel, feel like I get transported to the future

[@wattletree9]

Excellent report. Thanks.

[@karmmark888]

Considerate. Yes. Perfect choice of word. Totally agree.

[@FudgeMonkeySmurf]

Excellent! Great to see Hydrogen Fuel Cell hasn't been forgotten. Love the Merc Project One.

[@marironmaiden]

Johnny has come a long way since his early stuff! Great presenter!

[@michaelcsutton]

Awesome video, thank you.

[@nader31]

Love that VW Bus. Can’t wait!

[@StarFighter17russ]

I love your channel so much! You guys are doing a great job! Subscribed! :)

[@doughyjoey5]

Very cool! Can’t wait for this stuff to be commonplace

[@xeno126]

Well presented, informative and professional, I subscribed. I loved how Jonny had an insight on every vehicle type. It's a shame to see this channel has less than 300k subs while some "fools" have over a million.

[@jamesalbrett589]

3:32 I would love to get my hands on one of these. Sure the pipes might be too hot for comfort, but that's part of the fun.

[@zapfanzapfan]

Oh, boy, binge watching Fully Charged, here we go! :-) Cool little bellhop at the end.

[@notfuzion842]

[@brendanbellingham8934]

Love this channel so much

[@johnmay256]

Great report Jonny.

[@thatvolvoguy6565]

I love the headlights on the thumbnail

[@shoushikochou]

09:45 so expressive, i don't expect anything less

[@Arjomatic]

Excellent and informative, as usual. The ID Buzz campervan has my name all over it, I'd install solar panels on the roof though (if it doesn't have them already) just to make it as cheap and efficient as it can be.

[@DuncanCunningham]

I'm subbed to you but I've noticed that I'm only seeing this video in my feed list out of the bunch. I knew you had others uploaded at the same time as you said you would. I have to go to your channel to see the others.

[@willotoole4118]

Great video

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

Great video and report very professional

[@mostwanted6162]

Thanx for details..

[@mass4552]

Love that rock crawler.

[@emZee1994]

That Suzuki is beautiful!! I really really want one We don't have the infastructure for electric yet but I'd love one in petrol and toned down on the futuristic look. No clear door, a convertible roof and back seats. All small changes. I'd buy instantly EDIT: OMG spoke too soon. That Smart car omg I want that too

[@briancompton1026]

Can't wait until next year

[@tjbanansen1]

dude those shoes are glowing

[@quimlupi]

😮 OMG!! I want any those cars! When we lets have ours here’ s Brazil

[@mitchell.9632]

Jonny when chatting with Robert in the news update should talk more about Autonomy (autonomous). With V2X (vehicle to anything) do you know of any good sources that discuss how autonomous vehicles will affect miles driven thus congestion? Thanks for occasionally being in the comments. I like how you able to pull off all the travel to be able to see these concept cars. I appreciate the impact this channel has on the environment.

[@ianturner3351]

Really enjoyed Jonny’s Japanese Jaunt! Keep up the good work guys! Why don’t Netflix sign you up for a proper eco/car show! Missing out on this genre.... bobby and Jonny are natural presenters ....

[@nicodacher4294]

Cool Technology,😎💪

[@CharikarpJX]

i think these cars not even have an engine

[@BIGNEWY]

Smart vision EQ, It is Johnny cab from total recall :)

[@ramengod5768]

Can't be the only one that noticed the wink at 1:35

[@amonrei]

Yep, Japan is awesome if you love cars and trains. Also the Smart concept, i would love that to become a reality. Would be nice to be transported in an autonomous Uber/Grab when we're older.

[@paulmelamel]

You can take my money now for that VW ID Buzz, gorgeous vehicle

[@mcdonnellpadraic]

Project one has a huge bonnet and overhang, but looks f’ing good.

[@BenModified]

That VW reminds me of my Electric VW Bus!

[@roidroid]

That robot concierge at the end is called Pepper. Ironically it's not Japanese, it's French! (however, the original French company has indeed now been acquired by a Japanese company)

[@Thesaltyseafish]

You look genuinely terrified at 9:40 .... and I can't say I blame you.

[@Mrianmarshall]

Jonny. Just a little reminder Audi made the H TRON around 2014 it Runs on hydrogen and is also a plug in. Keep the good work up

[@JohnDunkley]

Love the shoes and the music...What is it called? And I really enjoyed all 5 programs...Go for it Fully Charged!

[@ruisearts]

what do you guys film on?

[@cypvh74]

Great overview. But I kept getting distracted by the garish yellow shoes. Wondering if they were made from Vogon hide leather.

[@tec4303]

I don't know if I should like or dislike this episode. There's to much petrol and unrealistic stuff, but the visuals are amazing.

[@muhammedridhwan2535]

Which hotel did u stayed in? In the last part of ur video,the lobby looks amazing!

[@rabit818]

Old school reportage. A journal instead of a laptop/tablet.

[@nathanschmick9681]

The filmography has me aroused. Somebody give the camera guy and the editor raises.

[@marktaylor-hankins9398]

Nathan Schmick the camera guy is the editor too.

[@TCJones]

I quite like the eEvolution, but then i also liked that provo thing that never got made.

[@ryananthony8543]

Christmas all over again! 4 more to go...

[@acarroll1714]

I’m liking Mercedes EV products. I know the styling hasn’t changed but the statement makes it look worth the money now. Funny how that works for me.

[@thatkidlvoe1400]

3:49 looks like the new Honda series

[@EForrest88]

I think the fact that all 5 videos were set to release at exactly the same time is what's caused the subscription issue, if you'd staggered them and hour apart or something that may well have work just fine. That said I'm subscribed to other channels that mass-release videos and I'm not aware of seeing the same issue.

[@DanielMcGregor]

I was also thinking about electrifying my Suzuki Jimny. It's so reliable and easy to maintain in it's original state that making it electric would be easier than in most cars.

[@Dare2Doubt]

I wondering that too, for my FRV - Bosch's eAxle should plug the gap but no signs as to whether it regens or not.

[@LesBrecknell]

Love that Suzuki 'RockCrawler' as Jonny calls it. Motor in wheel transmission has to be the way forward it seems so logical. Michelin were developing a system many years ago (around 2005 I think) I wonder if it is this they are using for this latter day SJ410.

[@shaunross6238]

Looking closely at the video it looks like the Suzuki has portal axles (hub reduction) with the motor mounted in the central bulge / diff housing. Great concept. Would buy one in a heartbeat.

[@tureencahill]

I recently read an MIT report that suggested electric cars are twice as polluting as ice machines. THEREFORE electric cars = hokum.

[@jimmysgameclips]

I have never heard of a hydrogen/electric car that sounds absolutely brilliant

[@TomUlcak]

Please, what is the music? I love it and would like to use it for my videos. I'm assuming that it is not copyrighted and can either be purchased or downloaded for free from some website...

[@JeanPierreWhite]

A plug-in Fuel Cell. Now that *is* interesting!!

[@acumanabstractarts4482]

i love the vidio stlye coz it cool

[@JohnSmith-rq5rv]

Jonny turned into a robot walking up thoses stairs!

[@goodnews4everhoch10]

4:10 There is still an axel... And the thing in the wheels doesn't look like an motor it's probably just the Rductor to set that car up high.

[@he-man168]

The suzuki look's like RC car 😄 but that's great. The smart eq are amazing

[@EforElectric]

It's funny that even concept Japanese cars look alike LOL

[@joes2735]

Does anyone know what camera is being used for this video?

[@EricHamm]

Oh dude, it's the guy from 5th gear! That's cool as fuck, I always like him as a presenter.

[@nenon809]

ID bus probably the best van ever made

[@JoshCorne]

Dem shoes 👌

[@liloleist5133]

Sliding Doors, yeah😁

[@nenon809]

9:58 lovely

[@CandycaneBeyond]

Futuristic tech, and the reporter is taking down notes in a paper journal lol

[@fogfestival]

is that a holographic display at 6:28? or just decent camerawork?

[@kevinmcguinness6526]

Guys, considering most of your audience is outside of Britain (I think), could you please put conversions from miles to km (etc). I seen a few comments on this already. Thaaaanks! 😁

[@benw.6194]

Japan is awesome!

[@JRP3]

Check out the Bollinger B1 for electric rock crawler.
