welcome to this week's vlog on this week's vlog we're going to be talking
about an amazing system that's called the self charging hybrid system yes you
heard me right a self charging hybrid system
now if you've seen Toyota and
Lexus is adverts obviously Toyota owns Lexus they have gone for an
amazing self perpetual-motion device called a self charging hybrid yes they
have a hybrid that completely charges itself what an amazing piece of
technology I mean Newton would be proud they have
basically broken all the barriers of physics and invented a device that
completely self charges now if you see Toyota and Lexus advert it clearly says
they've chosen a device it charges itself and does not require a plug yes
that's right Toyota chosen not to put a plug on their hybrid
no no there's self charges itself now if you weren't aware Mercedes yes right
under here is Mercedes self charging hybrid battery yes you heard me right
right under here is a 12-volt standard okay it's time to drop the sarcasm
obviously Mercedes do not make a self-driving hybrid but also neither do
Toyota it's time I get technical for the first time ever in my videos and explain
the full difference between different cars so obviously got a ICE combustion
car which is a pure petrol or diesel car runs on combustion fuel 100% that drives
the wheels we all know what they are they've been around for decades the next
car is what we call a battery car BEV but a battery electric vehicle which
basically means the whole car is powered purely by electric so that includes the
Renault Zoe and obviously the Nissan Leaf and all the Tesla's we then have a
REX which is a range extender this has a electric motor and it also has a small
engine the engine charges the battery and the wheels are
powered by the battery alone so basically the even that has an engine a
combustion engine combustion engine is there to facilitate the energy of
electricity so therefore it's more efficient the engine is tuned to run it
the most efficient rate and therefore that's why REX's are actually not that
bad we next then move on to hybrids now a hybrid car works a bit like a Formula
one kurs system it constantly recharges the battery from the motion of
regenerative braking so same as what your electric car does anyway all our
cars regenerative braking but a hybrid car regenerates just purely from that energy
that loss energy doesn't it runs purely purely mainly on the ice engine the ice
engine is the main form of that movement and it uses the petrol of the ice and
the driving normal driving to repower a battery to that then gets put back into the
wheels it's more efficient than an ICE better for the environment than a
ICE but it's not as good as the other two that I've just previously mentioned
we then move on to a PHEV now this is a PHEV BMW i8 a PHEV is a
vehicle that has a plug the plug powers a battery the battery powers the wheels
now being a PHEV bit also has an internal combustion engine which also
powers the wheels and also charges the battery when the battery runs low the
idea of a plug-in hybrid is you can select purely run off the battery London
taxis are PHEVs Outlanders are PHEV's a PHEV is obviously a lot better than their normal
hybrid because you if you wanted to you could run it purely off the battery and
never use a combustion engine as long as the rangers in the battery range of the
vehicle they obviously have a much smaller battery than full BEV's but
there are a lot more environmentally friendly than some of the other options
that you can get the question is where does Toyota's system fit in would you
say it's a range extender which what it sounds like a self charging hybrid
sounds like a range extender it's not a range extender
it's also not a plug-in hybrid it's also not a full BEV it's also not
self-charging what it basically is just a hybrid it
uses the ice engine and then almost like a Kurs system like Formula one like I
mentioned before it's using the motion of the wheels of slowing down
regenerative braking to charge a little battery which then puts a couple of
miles extra range onto the ice motor yes it's better for the environment than a
full ice but it's certainly not a self charging vehicle and it certainly
shouldn't be advertised as well there was nothing wrong with the term hybrid
hybrid just means exactly what's Toyota have got they're very very first
electric car was a hybrid they called it hybrid and now they've invented a new
term called a self charging hybrid which is just a way to mislead people and
consumers into buying vehicles I find that confusing so someone who doesn't
work and sort of study the electric car industry is going to find the even more
confusing than I do now the reason I've mentioned all this is I want you to go
down to the description below there's a link to the
Advertising Standards Agency and I want you to report Toyota for they're really
basically trying to take advantage of customers poor knowledge of electric
vehicles now I've not got any problems with a hybrid which doesn't have a plug
I've got no problem with it it's better than ICE car so before everyone starts
pulling in the comments no you shouldn't say this yes it is better than than a
ice car but no problem with that my issue is the confusing advertisement
that they're using and they're doing it on purpose and I think it's deliberately
misleading to fool people into thinking that it it's got some sort of fake
collection energy device it's very poor practice of Toyota they know exactly
what they're doing and they need to stop it now you might
want to know why I was making a little joke about the 12-volt battery on the
Mercedes the reason for that is self charging hybrid gives the impression
that a battery that charges itself up now 12-volt battery on any ice car
charges itself up from an alternator so does that mean that all ice cars are
self charging hybrids no it doesn't so really what Toyota should
be doing is just calling it a hybrid like everyone else thanks very much for
