  • MotoMan goes on a seven-hour road trip in a Plug In Hybrid Range Rover. Only catch? The total range of both the gas & electric propulsion systems is less than the total drive. From behind the wheel of the 406 HP Range Rover P440e PHEV going from Franklin, Tennessee to just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina - with some eclectic stops along the way - MotoMan attempts to push the Range Rover beyond its limits . . .

      It is highly specific to trip length. Mpg can be worse then regular hybrids on long distance thanks to added weight of batteries

      RAM REV EV is coming out soon with an interesting proposition of a hybrid unit where a gas-powered engine (3.6L V6 100L tank) doesn't drive the vehicle. Instead, its sole purpose would be to recharge the battery (92kWh).
      Intrigued to see how that fares against traditional V6 Hybrids.

    Really enjoyed the episode. It was a different type of review and i have to say it´s refreshing and entertaining. more of this please :)
    About PHEVs, they are the big missunderstood of today´s car world. My Ioniq PHEV ( it´s your fault MM :D ) does incredible MPG and i never ever have to worry about anything when i go in a road trip. Most of the time i´m in electric at a ridiculous cost and when i go somewhere else i always think of buying gas as "food for the car" just as i may eat something out and about. If one can charge at home/work with ease, they are just perfect. Got the benefit of no noise/vibration in the city and none of the drawbacks of BEVs.
    Anyways, my humble vote for more MM roadtrip episodes.

    Range Rover moved the plug in upmarket for 2024 with more power and Autobiography trim (more "free" paint choices, leather headliner, and more) . So for 2024 the plug in started at over $140K. For 2025 it's becoming a sport model and starting at $96K . So maybe Range Rover does know their customers. Strange how they keep moving the plug in model around price wise.

    the "lane keep assist" (ACC/ADAS) is pretty dated on JLR's at the moment, I think it's a Bosch system that's been around awhile. They seem to be sitting on the Nvidia DRIVE partnership they've had for years. Maybe waiting for the EV models???

    Hey Moto,
    I agree with your thesis all together…. I opted for an X5 50e. Granted I get less full electric range from my 26kwh battery. (On a good day in NYC is close to 50 miles). I am enamored with the best of both world that this platform offers. Marvelous B58 with a just enough electric range for my daily commute’s. I fill up once every 6-8 weeks and enjoy the 3 hour empty to fill charges on my level-2 charger at home. This is the future we should strive for.
    (Also, PLEASE review the X5 50e!!!)

    OK, outside of teasing you about not checking in when you come to middle Tennessee, the owner of the local Land Rover dealer (and the adjacent Cadillac dealer his father founded 40+ years ago) is a dear friend and next time you come, I can introduce you. As it turns out, myself and the family did much of this drive two weekends ago since my daughter will be attending UNC Chapel Hill in the fall. And she is a big fan of Bucees. Bucees is actually pretty new to Tennessee, having only built stores in the last few years. The best way to describe Bucees is if a Cracker Barrel and a Wal-Mart had a love child in a bar-be-que pit. I know they sell a lot of gas but the Wal-Mart sized convenience store is the big attraction (and profit center). Given that, I'm a little surprised that they haven't built any EV charging into the store footprint, at least not yet. And I do think there is a good place for PHEVs in the transition. Toyota made this bet and it seems to be the right one now. It's makes a lot of sense in middle America outside of the population centers which don't have much of any EV charging infrastructure. We did our first series of college visits a year ago and spent a lot of time traveling rural North Carolina. A lot of car dealerships....very little EV infrastructure. Some of the new Infrastructure Bill is supposed to address this, but its going to take years to see the results and Tesla's recent machination with their SuperCharging team won't help.

  • @bavariancarenthusiast2722
    @bavariancarenthusiast2722 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    PHEV are a good bridge tech if the infrastructure / grid is not there yet. Over here it is, so PHEV´s are making only sense if you really live in the mountains.

    • @David_Journey
      @David_Journey หลายเดือนก่อน

      Home charging is already available. Added weight of PHEV when it runs out of electric range will add up to worse mpg than hybrid in mountain driving use. Would not recommend it for the mountains.

  • @Link_1129
    @Link_1129 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Long comment ahead, there's your warning:
    100% agreed on PHEVs in the interim. They're a wonderful stopgap (and honestly the *only* way to go for future sports cars if we can find a way to keep the weight down in said future) until the grid capacities and charging network accessibility and fast-charging speeds are massively improved to the point that EVs can be used *worry-free* for extended road trips that are hundreds of miles on vacations, by people like my parents that have such reservations about EVs being their only cars at the moment.
    As for myself, I definitely prefer the PHEV setup because I can just fuel up in 5 minutes or whatever, and go. I want to say I read that it was Ford that had partnered with a University to come up with something like a dual-layer charging cable with coolant circulating throughout the outer layer to (at least theoretically) reduce public fast-charge times to 5 minutes for getting from 0%-80%-ish charge.
    That, along with ultra-widespread access and a grid that can support it, is what I'm waiting for. In the meantime, PHEVs would be best.

    • @David_Journey
      @David_Journey หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Public charging is overly expensive, delaying ROI of EVs. You can already do home charging and for that slow overnight charging the grid is *already* capable.

    • @MotoManTV
      @MotoManTV  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    My issue with this is simple.
    If this was diesel it would get over 600 miles to a tank; no BS of hybrid tech needed.
    It is difficult not to have my tin foil hat on when it comes to this in the US.
    EPA has been pushing higher MPG for decades; diesel achieves this easily (even EPA website puts emissions cleaner out of diesel because of higher mpg) but the EPA mix of driving used for calculating MPG is city heavy where petrol engines are better, diesel is better at highway cruising causing the consumer looking at the sticker to see very little if no difference in combined mpg. The reason most people don’t achieve the EPA estimates with petrol vehicles is they rev out to get the power they want (because manufacturers are making the systems for spec sheet warriors looking at HP numbers, making the system WORSE for daily driving and creating the need for higher revs)
    Most drivers would LOVE driving a diesel because of the low end torque available but most never even try because of lack of knowledge and availability. I’m willing to bet if manufacturers brought diesel options to the US and just put customers in them for a test drive without saying it was diesel most would be shocked.
    As tax revenue is based off of fuel consumed pushing MPG increases over the decades causes the government to collect less revenue for more miles driven (when roads need to be replaced/repaired more often the more they are travelled) honestly feel this is the real reason for the push to EV. They can tax it how ever they want since it will be creating a completely new tax (look at some of the state bills trying to be pushed where vehicle tracking is mandatory for EV for effective taxing per mile which will be more than double that of fuel when calculated out)

    So you dropped 1,264’ of elevation coming down that mountain and you’re telling me you still arrived with zero energy in the battery‼️😮 Does it not have regenerative breaking because if it doesn’t that behemoth curb weight got the brakes warm by the time you got down to the bottom. It weighs more than my fully loaded IONIQ 5 AWD Limited that could’ve charged quicker(18 min) at the EA across the interstate from your stop at Buckey’s. 🤷🏻 Granted I’d have to own a Tesla, Ford or a Rivian to charge at Bucky’s but my stop is but a mile away.
