Pretty sure the Porsche oversteer problem was due to the suspension setup, when the weight transferred the rear would become light and lift. The geometry of the suspension mean this adds toe out which causes the rear to come round super quick. Cool car aswell
@ Howy, the Porsche is a "rear mounted motor" , so all the weight is on the very ass end of car... I drive a "mid mount" & it'll oversteer too - IF you let of the gas too quickly/too much... You have to "learn" how to drive these types & definitely not be afraid of them. Once mastered, the cornering speed achievable is phenomenal & yes your cheek muscles do hurt, i can vouch whole heartedly about that! They're ( Mid mounts & Rear mounts) giant Go Karts...... Awesome fun!
SOLAR PANELS!!!!!!!!! Why hasn't anyone else ever thought "that roof is an ideal place for a couple of flexible solar panels". It's certainly doable and would help increase range and considering most cars are parked in open carparks in the sun it's a no brainer. It might not full charge the battery but would be a definite plus considering the lack of charge points.
We have said the same thing, and also that the whole car could be covered in them so as to absorb the solar rays and during the day there would always be some facing the sun.
@@GenaF I think to completely cover the car may have inherent problems but they could definitely create a perfectly shaped roof panel and protect it from damage. Since they started this project I've been saying they should do this as most cars are parked in the sun all day and charge points are few and far between. It would also push forward the technology with greater focus on getting more from it. But they'll say where's the profit in that....
I’ve just see a video from UK of Teslas in long queues for chargers in our last bout of cold weather. Saying range drops massively & the UK doesn’t get as cold as other countries!!
Totally agree, I own a hybrid and the battery charge drops from mid 20's in summer to 12 in winter if I'm lucky! The manufacture 'claims' 39miles, didn't get that for much more than a month past new tho, there's many other people from the cars forum say the same thing as me, manufacture doesnt care, they already have your money!
I used to be like Guy when I was his age. Don't drink, you don't have to pee. Twenty years on I am a renal patient in kidney failure. You have to drink.
Guy is a cool dude. The electric phase of Transportation presently in its infancy. You have to have consistent electrical grids in order to have a thriving electrical transportation operation. Gas, coal, nuclear and fission beat out solar and wind any day.
The distinct a electric vehicle can do depends on 3 things 1, the speed at witch you drive it, 2, the weight the vehicle has to carry, 3, the terrain you drive it on ie hills use more juice
No business is going to spend millions, putting in the electrical infrastructure, if they don't know whether they'll get a return on it. The way this is going to happen, is that large supermarkets will start the ball rolling, as they're ALREADY making money BEFORE they start installing the charge points. Therefore it's the larger towns and cities where electric cars make the most sense.
The kid's only getting 'range anxiety' cos the parent is getting it, and mentioning it out loud for the kid to hear.!🧐! If trips are planned correctly for charging, then there's absolutely no need for ANY anxiety.!🧐! You don't set off across the Australian Outback in a petrol car, with a quarter of a tank of fuel, hoping and worrying that there'll be a service station on the way, where I can put another quarter of a tank in, and carry on like that till you get to where you're going do you.!😂!. You fill the tank RIGHT UP before you set off, and make sure that there's a fuel stop within the range of said tank. If there isn't, then you simply don't set off in the first place.

Saw Robert in a Cornish services with a Honda electric car, must have been 10-11 years ago. Electric has to be the future but where does the electricity get produced in the uk so we don’t have to buy from out of the country?
Watch you all the time guy , I’m from down near you boss , but now I live up in west coast of Scotland, and I’m a coal man I deliver all over here I think it definitely would not work up here for us lot the electric vehicle I don’t see how I drive hundreds of mile to deliver coal to people:)
Totally agree, Scotland just doesn't have the infrastructure for EV's, probably never will unless remote lay-bys get charging posts, which won't happen any time soon, if ever!
The "Elephant in the room" question for EV's is: recycle ability..and on a mass scale! Not to mention Lithium mining and it availability! Don't get me wrong, EV has it's place. But along side combustion engine, or something else.
If there's lamppost on almost all roads.. How is it they can't adapt a connection to the mains that the lamppost are adapted too?? Run low connect & Go
@Turbo Last Name who’s law bud? Look around you it’s already happening,big oil and other commodities own the world,they make the laws using government as their puppets.
@@palamco always those know it better. Go and shuffel more of your money into the Koch brothers pockets..ev Cars are to stay and get you out of the oilmasters Well when you go for a drive in an ev vehicle a little planning gets you a long way too ..
Just think what it was like at the dawn of internal combustion engines.!🧐! There wasn't even local petrol stations, never mind motorway service stations.!🙄! At least now we have the tree to hang the decorations on, already built and developed. Things only got better, when people figured out that there was money to be made by selling fuel to people.
I can do 3 miles during daylight hours use hardly any power 30% but at night with lights on I use almost 80% ie the more items you use the more power you loos5
Guy!!!!! You would make a great TH-camr. I bet this channel would do very well, if you were to produce strictly for your channel. Not joking. Rally cars are the sexiest thing goin.....
What thuuhh?! 37 minute video titled "electric car scenes". Reality: first 18 minutes is electric car scenes; last 19 minutes is petrol cars driven by other owners.
An alternator can't provide enough power to supply that kind of charge, so a fuel type of engine has to top it up, thus defeating the object of electric cars self charging, the fuel consumption when 'self charging' that way is ridiculously high, I own a 4wd Hybrid and the tech just isn't there right now to give anywhere near decent mpg while 'self' charging, maybe in another 10yrs or so it might be but not right now.
ELECTRIC CHARGING... I THINK... That if there are charging 'docks' at locations... Half way up the country. Three Quarters the way, from either end of the country, and, At the top and bottom of the country, This would be a good enough start to a plan that would end up with perfection. This is very a simplistic view. But it would be workable, as the ranges of these cars would be good with this to START WITH. Having them at ALL motorway services, is a start, but to put a plan into action where this is the end goal, and swapping petrol pumps with charging 'docks' is NOT the right answer. It's a far cry from it. But, I can't be arsed writing a motor magazine article, right here, right now.!🙄!.
I live I mk my merc EV called the eqc does 245-268miles on a single charge i charge it about once a week just like i did filling up with petrol and its lease costs are the same but ive done 987miles so far and its cost me £37 alot of charging at Tesco's free chargers prob 300miles worth of free electricity while been shopping. Milton Keynes has the best ev infrastructure in uk like most things but i drove to liverpool and back happily. Those Honda's are wicked but way too expensive for the range.
What guys Mrs said about the world not been "bloody ready for them' is right. But the world will NEVER be ready for them, if no one is the first to take the plunge and start forcing change.!🧐! So... Somebody HAS to be the 'BLOODY IDIOT' to kick it all off, and get the ball rolling.!🤔😃!
If racing goes to all electric tracks are going to have to start selling moonshine so the fans are to drunk to leave due to boardm. On tv you will hear the vans going through there grocery list and the goof and his wife fighting over everything...... Electric racing is going to suck so bad , It will be like the PGA tour
Guy martin for top gear!! Best man to do a review of a car no bullshit tells you how it is 💪🏻💪🏻
he does get an invitation to do top gear, but he turned it down.
@@mansawee2288dont blame him its a shit show now
Not ONE PERSON has anything BAD to say about Mr Martin (unless of course his Mrs😂).
WHAT A STAR.
Guy talked about his van like he was more enthused by it than the McLaren Senna....which makes sense for Guy!
And in just a few seconds you see how much Guy LOVES going 'fast' - now his tearing through the streets at 200mph on his superbike makes sense.
guy is a peoples champion! great guy
Just got to love this guy!

Can’t see Guy and that Shmee going for a pint. He’s a right knob ..
If its got wheels Guy will have a crack at racing it...
I'm a @Porsche fan. Their TH-cam channel is great... super high production value. That being said, starting at 3:17 or is a top notch Porsche advert.
Guy is so annoyed with the limiter on. 1:02 🤣🤣 He even said they left the limiter on cause they knew that Guy Martin would be driving that bus. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Long time before electric cars will make sense. Guy your my hero 👍
You're already behind the times
Once politicians, city planners, and members of government start driving solely electric, the infrastructure will improve vastly and quickly lol
Two days ago I didn't know who Guy Martin was!! Sad. I do admit I am not much of a motorhead. Am now. The man is a wonder!!!
Shmee seems cooool......... ?
Anything Guy says is fast ... I do not question it a bit
He ain't no Sandra bullock 🤣😂🤣
Guy needs to get behind the wheel of the Rimac Nivera 🔥😈
I definitely prefer guys style of presenting no need to rush

Power import you need 1 amp per 10 amp-hour ie a 100ah battery needs a 10 amp charger
Wireless charging is the way forward!! 😆
Guy for top gear like if u agree
Saw Robert in a Cornish services with a Honda electric car, must have been 10-11 years ago. Electric has to be the future but where does the electricity get produced in the uk so we don’t have to buy from out of the country?
More nuclear and there are wind and solar farms everywhere. Last summer 50% from renewables
Watch you all the time guy , I’m from down near you boss , but now I live up in west coast of Scotland, and I’m a coal man I deliver all over here I think it definitely would not work up here for us lot the electric vehicle I don’t see how I drive hundreds of mile to deliver coal to people:)
Totally agree, Scotland just doesn't have the infrastructure for EV's, probably never will unless remote lay-bys get charging posts, which won't happen any time soon, if ever!
Where are the drive-through chargers for people with trailers or caravans??????
You missed the obvious question when talking to Robert... When are they converting Red Dwarf to electric?
And if you ragged a motor bus like you did with the electric bus then the motor would of over heated as well
Hey Guy you should get in to car racing, that would be a blast to watch.
I'm sure he meant before an event👍
My electric mobility scooter dote set off like that I'd love it going a bit faster than 8 mph 🤣🤣🤣

The "Elephant in the room" question for EV's is: recycle ability..and on a mass scale!
Not to mention Lithium mining and it availability!
Don't get me wrong, EV has it's place. But along side combustion engine, or something else.
You can already recycle the batteries
I have a super charger in my garage.
In four hours I can go from 32% to 96%. I haven’t brought my Tesla below 30% in the year I’ve owned it.
That's why most Porsche crashes happened when folks were going too fast into corners, lifted off and TRIED to turn.!🤦🤦🤦!😭🤕😇!
If there's lamppost on almost all roads.. How is it they can't adapt a connection to the mains that the lamppost are adapted too?? Run low connect & Go
Worst thing about electric cars is the hydro companies will keep raising the cost of electricity until it costs many times more than petrol.
@Turbo Last Name who’s law bud? Look around you it’s already happening,big oil and other commodities own the world,they make the laws using government as their puppets.

Y did he not give guy a go of this car
I think hybrids are the way forward currently. Able to charge and run short distance on electric and use a ICE for more power and extra range
electric and ice make for expensive service
Guy hasn't got that electric one now, the one he has is still a Honda , it might be a CRV, looks a bit like one.
YOU MUST HAVE CHEP POWER THERE
It might not be what everyone wants but its what the world needs because of global warming

Why do they don't they just self charge. Alternators ?
