Sorry about the audio popping!
I only started following your channels in 2022, BUT your quickly becoming my favorite EV coverage channel. I LOVE your enthusiasm for the subject, Thank You.
The popping could be caused by the wireless transmitter’s antenna swaying as you walk. If so, taping the antenna in place so it doesn’t change orientation as you walk should help.
That Rivian Uber you seen was me! That’s my R1S. Love to chat with you while your in town
Do you sell cars for a living?
Can you ask the DC fast charger manufactures what they are going to do to have more reliable chargers deployed in the US?
Until ELECTRIFY AMERICA is put out of business, non-Tesla EVs will never survive in the USA. America needs charging options that are not doing all they can to stop EV adoption.
Needs to be a STANDARD
@@nononsenseBennett how about NACS? getting legacy auto to adopt it however may be challenging. but if one does, i am sure the rest will follow shortly, especially if the tesla super charger network opens up here in the usa like they said they would.
Dump CCS1 is what they need to do. The J1772 latch is CCS1’s Achilles heel. They need to either switch to NACS or CCS2. Those are proven and don’t have the vestigial manual latch that CCS1 has.
@@MH-Tesla Did you hear that Musk working with Trump to save the oil industry man? It's well documented man he met with Trump's son in law Jared Kushner and the Saudis helped Musk finance his Twitter buyout so he has something left when the Saudis have him destroy Tesla. It's well documented man.
30 years ago I lived in the Atlanta area and I worked for DEC (Digital Equip Corp). When CES came to town every year, DEC would give us a paid day to go visit the show. But back then it was all computers components, tvs and everything electronics.
Thanks for this, Kyle and Alyssa. I'd like you to interview people at the DC fast charging companies on their business models, on why they have installed subpar charging dispensers (below 150 kW), on why they have such poor site maintenance and customer service, on why they have selected such sketchy (read potentially dark and dangerous) locations to site their dispensers, and on what they will be doing to change all of that in 2023.
Please grab some time with the Fisker ocean. And please find out as much as you can on the battery rates of charging .
You're living a great life. This is obviously your passion and you're making a living. I wish we (fans of all things electric) meet you at a rally point and have you chat with us....
i love the behind the scenes day 0 preview and the fact that your wife is all for this, for us :) I'd love to go see this one day but for now I can just watch your videos and be lazy at home!
Nice to see a behind the scenes of behind the scenes of CES - definitely a different perspective... Would like to see more about the Volvo EX90, the Centtro(?) Desert Beaver... and some home EV charger stuff please? Of course watching Kyle flex with his knowledge as he and Alyssa walk around and play off each other... Cool video.
Absolutely. Great teamwork.
Kyle, I would like to see more on V2X, such as back at the Rhombus display. Great job, if I wasn’t 75, I would join you! I am amazed at your knowledge and recall.
I went to CES (Consumer Electronics Show)several years in a row on behalf of my Panasonic client when flat screen plasma televisions were all the rage. Back then, no one would have ever predicted that EV's would eventually replace them in center stage.
When you were panning across the Bimmers @34:50, I wondered why there was an Accord in there…. had to look twice before I realized it was a blacked out 7. But regardless, imho it looks like a** on the outside. Good job BMW😕
Holy crap you know your stuff, right off the top of your head. Impressive.
Better than most mainstream auto journalists/pundits
No. It's his wife who knows more.
He's the Ariel Helwani of EVs.
Holly smolly are these fake usernames
Hey Kyle,
The airstream you walked by most likely is a game changer in the entire camping industry. It should have batteries underneath so the wheels on the camper powered by electric motors and the wheels move when the ev truck is towing it. This will improve range for towing which is the #1 concern today. Please check it out and review it! Game changer for the world of ev trucks pulling a camper.
Wish I was there but this is pretty close
Used to own and run an events company and this took me back. Love touring during build up days, no other visitors to compete with! Makes me feel nostalgic that’s for sure. 👍
This years CES is going to be epic. Show us that volvo please!
a view of natron power cabinet battery would be nice.
Excellent preview. Your ability to identify companies and products is impressive.
it is.... he is going to be the next bob vila, but of the EV world...
Hey Kyle! I’d love to see more about the Freewire booth. I live in a rural county in Maryland and I think these would be great options to bring faster charging to where I live! Thanks for being the best and bringing this great coverage of CES!
Desert Beaver for the win! No idea what a beaver would be doing in a desert but hey ho!
Are they going to make these in Florida?
Two things I'd like to see you investigate. 1) VW OTA updates. We already know they announced 2021 and early 2022 model updates but when should we start expecting 3.1.0 to get updated across the board? There *has got to be* bug fixes that can be pushed out but they aren't doing anything. 2) See if you can probe some of these DCFC vendors and see if any major contracts or plans are in the works. I'm talking about a scale that would make EA start to worry.
Going along with this maybe press the current EA and others why they were so bad around Christmas and out of order charges in general.
Very nicely done. WOW!!!! It is overwhelmingly large. Looking forward to the followup videos.
ID7 in Europe is declared 700km WLTP range. So there must be an actual bigger battery available! I had an VW Arteon and the rear seems to be similar here. Great Aero and great for Highway cruising.
Always appreciate the high energy and knowledge you bring to your videos.
Interested to see what you all think of the TOGG’s EV
Some high efficiency home tech would be good - heat pumps, hot water systems, home automation etc...
Thanks for being there to educate the rest of us!
I am SO excited about all the charger competition. I really hope the US gets more companies to compete with EAmerica and ChargePoint because our charging network is depressingly poor outside of Tesla's!
Can y’all check out the fisker ocean test drive
Love to see more of the EX90… Not enough nerdy stuff out there yet 😛👍
22:01 It isn't a 50kW charger. It's either an ABB Terra 124 or an Terra 184 with 120 or 180kW. Afaik Circle K has some of them running in the US.
The 50kW ones don't have 2 CCS plugs, because they have only one power unit.
30:10 Fastned has already one of them in service as a pilot near Amsterdam.
That super E- motorcycle looks amazing. I am looking forward to your coverage and love the behind the scenes footage.
Love your videos, you are doing great content.
You know what I love about Kyle? How many things are "situations." :)
Good take. His TH-cam presence is spreading thin with so many channels and can be hard to follow.
VW ID-7 and Merc EQXX video please.
I would love to hear more about EV boat, up an coming EV Fleets, ID7 and BMW
You should try to find out if there are any other companies that want to compete with Electrify America to create a nationwide network. Also really interested in vehicle to grid stuff if you can find it.
I am partially a Turkish resident(visits frequently), gotta say I'm quite excited to see what TOGG is about to announce at CES
Great behind the scenes at CES video.
Kyle could walk from Fort Collins to Las Vegas and talk continuously about cars. 😊
I think we need to challenge every charger manufacturer on real world reliability. I would also press on why the failed CCS1 plug continues to be pushed. I think that connector is a big part of the problem with its manual latch. Why not switch to something reliable like NACS or CCS2 which lack the latch?
I have no hate for Electrify America, but I do think competition is a good thing, so a video on the other EVSE start-ups would be interesting!
I have used those little Taylor Dunn maintenance vehicles (electric) for many years in the Jeep factory in Toledo . As we talk electric vehicles. Must have tool for emergency breakdowns on production lines
You & Dave should have a TV show. Thanks for the behind the scenes at CES 😊
Damn, I wish I had this guy's memory. He remembers all of the model numbers, names of gear, where companies are from, even the names of companies' employees. Boss.
Hi can you do a video on Chargepoint if they exist at CES this year?
Fun video, thanks. Used to work in PR for Sony (and a few other companies) and CES was always stressful. Nice to see behind the scenes again from the comfort of home. 😅
i can’t believe they would let you in to film before the show 😮
Great to see a behind the scenes at CES. I remember designing and building medical displays at several trade shows internationally. Keep up the good work.
I'd love to see a lot about Magna. Any VW ID7 info would be cool too. I'm a sedan guy.
Thanks for the cool video! Since I have a reservation on one, I’d like to see more of the Volvo EX90. Thanks.
Arbe robotics looks to have a 4d radar sensor that can be used to replace a camera when the lens gets covered with rain/mud/etc. Rumors that Tesla is using the Abre chip in their 4d radar. FCC filing asked for confidential until announced mid Jan.
Looks like InCharge Energy is providing the charging services for BMW
Love how much Alyssa is into all this and her dad jokes crack me up.
Big fan of the rock joke
@@mattyp99 yesss made me chuckle
I would love to hear more about whats next for charging infrastructure. It looks like the future evs all have good range and charging capabilities but the charging options are still limited
Lots of interviews with the DCFC companies would be great. Get your comfy shoes ready
In regards to motorcycling 0-60, the limiting factor is front wheel lift. I don’t think any bikes are much faster than mid 3s unless they are drag bikes with wheelie bars and extended frames.
Hi kyle I like to see video cariad boot. Maybe you can talk to them and ask about vw software and what are biggest mistakes that they think they have make and how they gona fix's them and do better.
Definitely interested in all the charging companies, both home and DCFC and hell commercial level 2. I would ask all the DCFC companies what their primary goals are and if they don't bring it up I'd ask about reliability and also affordability since besides reliability the other big problem is how do we have a successful business plan for DCFC?
Redline Reviews right there at the beginning 😅😂. Filming his latest upload 😮
You should check Wallbox chargers as well, especially their V2G charger, pretty smart stuff over there
Love a review of all the ev chargers
To me all these ev chargers are a hype. I have a big fat Y cable from my dryer plug. Works perfect and cost less than $100. Cracks me up how people want to spend money just look cool.
Very good start, congrats! can you give some emphasis on the new battery technologies shown and to come? Also, a video on the weight (in lbs AND kg) of each new EV compared to their rated power (in kW) and battery bank capacity will be a very interesting ...it will show which EV company is thinking futuristic as ONE of the MAIN parameters of ANY EV is its efficiency....strongly dependent on the weight...
Flitway looks to be using Tellus hardware
I would be interested in where the vendors think Automated Driver Assistance Systems are going. This show should have all the various vendors that would be involved with that. I can certainly imagine how the existing systems can be improved but are there new capabilities that I have not yet imagined? Thanks for the intro. I remember going to networking shows out there and walking until I thought I would drop.
The Verge bike is for sale in Europe. EU and Tuf certified. USA sales later this year. Try to get a test ride in Vegas.
I literally just got done watching Soyfan's video on this car (id 7), then you show him recording that video at the beginning! Sweet cameo shout out you did there!
Out of Spec Ranch needs a Desert Beaver
Such a SEXY phrase? Desert BEAVER
Do love the crates. Only because I've done some packing for long distance shipping. Just small stuff.
Oh… that Boring tunnel. 🙄 Nice that they let you elbow your way in early! I wish it weren't a trade-only event, as I live 2 hours away and would love to see the show. I would be most interested to see and hear about any EVSEs that are bidirectional (V2SX). We really need to move in that direction ASAP.
Gentex is a general automotive part supplier for a lot of different things, based here in West Michigan. I believe their big claim to fame right now is the video rear view mirrors
Can you visit the booths of some of the other suppliers? So Bosch, ZF, etc.
Wow CES is massive! I need to check it out one day!
One year 21 miles of aisles.
Great video. Thanks. If you can make something more on the cenntro booth it would be awesome. Curious about the vans and the desert vehicle you showed. They are also supposed to have a hydrogen truck there as well.
Are the Loop Model Ys that charge to 100% equipped with LFP batteries?
Awesome range for this new VW.Can you look into the new EV Canoo
Definitely interested in DCFC’s and their rollout plans. I’m also interested in non-Tesla EVs, So I would love to see that ID.7 or the BMWs or any other non-Tesla EVs that may be there. (GM? Ford?} Thanks! Have fun!
Would love to see more about onsemi and their newly announced EliteSiC tech for EVs as well as their sensor suite for motorcycles.
24:40 Renault Zoe on the charging poster
Can you do a video on dodge and rams cars:pickups plus all the DC charging networks, chargepoint, blink etc?
I seen that you walked by the Jeep booth. Wondering if they are going to unveil the new full Electric Jeep??!! Hopefully they do..
Excellent preview. Wondering if GM will have the Silverado EV WT trim in the flesh instead of the RST
And when we find out if 400 Miles is available at 42k
Please cover EV charging focus on level 2 and about more reliable DCFC's. Also Rhombus has some chargers in Michigan near Ford.
State of Charge on youtube. Details on all sorts of charging and chargers.
@@LarryRichelli I'm aware of Toms channel. I think Kyle could cover a lot of the EVSE manufacturers he seen in the video. Tom did a nice video when he visited the Walbox plant in TX.
Hello Kyle, loved the behind the scenes tour of CES2023. No doubt the event will be spectacular. I’d love to see more on connected vehicles and Payments. A few years ago, Honda and Sirius XM both showcased POC but all seems relatively quiet on the vehicle commerce side. Hope you can find out and report back. I sent an email to you with more details. Thanks!
Can you do a short video on the work BlackBerry is doing with the Mustang Mach E
I’d like to see an super cut of weird mobility options, especially ideas for city mobility.
Could you stop by at the semiconductor companies focused on EV's? I saw the Infineon booth there for example, maybe Wolfspeed will be there too. Would be cool to learn about the new types of power electronics modules coming out to make anything electric more efficient.
It would be nice to see some of the smaller companies as well. Some of them may have interesting product/features.
I'm glad you didn't freeze Alica in this video
The Ram Revolution concept truck is to make its debut at CES on Thu Jan 5. Please post some video of it. Thanks
Would love to see more about the ZF pods and the new ID7
Can you visit the Motional booth? And also anything about Fisker? Btw you can ride on the Motional AV in Vegas!!
@Kyle, I'm not sure Mullen Motors or Bollinger will be at CES but would you mind covering it in a future video, maybe an interview of the CEO's ?
Long videos like this from all over the show floor would be great 👍
Can you take a look at Freewire Technology booth - they do mobile ev chargers. Thanks
You should utilize rate your charge to test these new chargers once deployed into the wild. Win win for both as it would drive utilization as rate your charge grows. Downside would be all the chargers should work initially.
Behind the scenes always more entertaining than the usual...So many side stories (like HOW MUCH A BOOTH COSTS...)
Hi thank you for this video clip and you just ask what the audience would like to watch more from what we are seeing on the video. I would like to see a clip you talk more about VinFast. Battery, Charging, and etc... Thanks
I'm glad I am going this year
Since your there you should see if the public level 2 chargers at ces work it was like 1 out of 6 working last time.
You can use the battery pack for your Leaf. 🙂
If there is a Toyota booth, I'd love to hear if they plan on software updates to the bZ4X, including the charging issues.
