Ukrainian achievement Tesla

Finally! Wednesday, October 15, will go down in the history of Ukrainian electromobiles movement as the day when the electric car was able to drive 560 kilometers on a single charge. On the organizers have decided to experiment Ukrainian Tesla Club Ukraine Nazar Shimon-David and Lena Artyomenko.





The journey promises to be interesting not only because such distances on electric vehicles in Ukraine still has not overcome without recharging. But because of passport data Tesla Model S 85, in which "teslavody" made their way from Lviv to Kiev, range is limited to 500 kilometers. And you had to pass 560.



- Of course, this does not mean that it will not drive anymore, but to increase this figure izgalyatsya need - shared with Autogeek Nazar on arrival in Kiev. - Most of the way we had to go on cruise control with a speed of about 70 km / h. We overtook even "penny"!



Before the trip and Lena Nazar loaded everything that was possible: a laptop, e-book, clock, extra charger. Oh, and the car itself, of course.



Approximately 150 km to Kiev Nazar managed to make up "missing" 40 kilometers of power reserve. Another 20 km had to save on the remaining path.



- Given that the second half the way we overcame in the dark, the headlights go without inclusion was not. However, saving dates kilometers failed due to a slight speed and less wind resistance. As you see on the dashboard left another 7 kilometers - just enough to get to the house. They say that even after the lights "0", there is still the opportunity to drive some distance. But we did not check.

- And if not enough power reserve? What would you have done?

- I would have sat behind the wheel, and Nazar would thrust! - Included in the conversation Lena.

- In fact, when there is an opportunity to "refuel" from any power outlet, then there is nothing to fear. Another thing is that the experiment would have been thwarted. But we did it. And so, as we were driving, nobody will not ride. 8 hours of road (considering stopping for coffee lunch, etc.) - it's long enough for an ordinary motorist - says Nazar.



Total, according to Nazar, was spent on a trip of 75 kWh. Somewhere there must be another 10 kWh. Apparently, this is the "reserve", which remains after the mark "0" on the dashboard. Go 65-70 km / h on the car, "under the hood" of which 366 horsepower - boring and uncomfortable.



- When we went this route on Tesla Model S 60, we went out into the night and stayed overnight in Novograd Volyn. There is a special charge for electric vehicles, established club "Elektroavtosam." As we see, the 85-kilowatt "Tesla" is enough for the whole journey. But very soon the question of charging while traveling in Ukraine will be solved. We are actively working in this direction and will soon be able to provide details - shared plans Nazar.

By the way, today in the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers will hold its first meeting of the working group on the writing of the State program of support electric Ukraine. It will bring together European experts from Norway, Estonia and Israel.

As you know, Norway has created at the state level such conditions that a few years, the country ranked first in the world in the number of electric vehicles per capita. In a country with a population of 5 million people now 32,000 electric vehicles. There holders are exempt from 25% VAT and registration tax, which can reach tens of thousands of dollars per vehicle. Also, drivers of electric cars do not pay vehicle tax and are free to travel to Oslo on dedicated lanes for public transport.

In Estonia, the car owner to compensate up to 50% of the cost of an electric vehicle. Even in Russia in 2014 was canceled 19% cent import duty on electric cars. Already working in Moscow 130 charging stations, 14 of them - fast charging. In Kiev, far less than a dozen elektrozapravok, and the number of electric vehicles on the road and has dozens of only 0, 02% of sales. The costs of electricity for the car owner is 35 times less than the cost of gasoline.
