7 Most Asked Questions About the Toyota C-HR Plus
What is the real-world range? While the WLTP rating is 606 km, Derek achieved a highly impressive 498 km of real-world range in Irish conditions, averaging 14.7 kWh per 100 km [01:29].
How fast does it charge? It supports 150 kW DC peak charging, going from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes. It also features battery preconditioning when using the built-in sat-nav to chargers [02:26].
Does it come in All-Wheel Drive? Yes, but availability depends on the market. While AWD exists, some right-hand-drive markets like Ireland and the UK are currently focused on the front-wheel-drive version [03:14].
Is it cramped in the back? Despite the sloping roof, there is surprising space. A 6'2" passenger fits comfortably with a few centimetres of headroom and adequate knee room [03:48].
How big is the boot? The boot has a 416 litre capacity. In a practical test, it successfully fit two large and two carry-on suitcases with the parcel shelf removed [04:22].
What is the interior like? The cabin features a premium feel with less gloss black than previous models, a 13-inch screen borrowed from Lexus, and physical dials for climate control [05:33].
Which is better: C-HR Plus or bZ4X? It depends on your needs. The C-HR Plus offers a larger 77 kWh battery and more range, while the bZ4X provides more overall cabin and boot space for families [06:25].

![What is Plug & Charge? ISO 15118
Welcome back to our ultimate guide to Plug & Charge!
If youre an EV driver whos tired of fumbling with apps, fobs, or credit cards, the industry has a solution: ISO 15118. This is the international standard designed to bring the seamless charging experience enjoyed by Tesla drivers to all electric vehicles and charging networks.
In this video, we use a Skoda Enyaq (with Power Pass) to successfully demonstrate the full Plug & Charge experience at an Ionity fast-charging hub.
Then, we sit down with Jeremy Scoffield, Director of Technology at CharIN (the non-profit working on global interoperability), for a deep technical dive into how ISO 15118 works, its critical role in V2X (Vehicle-to-Grid) functionality, and why encrypted communication is essential for the future of smart charging.

[20:25] Step 4: Charging Starts & Real-Time Display
[21:23] Step 5: Session Ends & Real-Time Billing
[22:52] Continuous Improvement (ISO 15118-20, OCP)
[26:54] Closing Remarks from Jeremy (CharIN) & Outro
Key Concepts Covered:
ISO 15118: The core standard enabling seamless communication between any EV and any compliant charger.
CharIN: The global non-profit dedicated to ensuring interoperability across all charging hardware and vehicle manufacturers.
V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything): How ISO 15118 facilitates future bi-directional charging (V2G/V2H).

Top Features of the 2027 Renault Megane E-Tech
Streamlined, No-Compromise Lineup: Renault has heavily optimized the Meganes configuration matrix down to a single, high-capacity 67 kWh usable battery paired with a responsive 220 hp front electric motor [00:49], completely removing smaller, low-range market variants.
Upgraded Rapid Charging Tech: Enhances highway convenience by flattening its public charging curve to hit a higher 165 kW DC rapid-charging peak [01:41]. This drops the 10% to 80% replenishment window down to a swift 25 minutes [01:48].
3D-Sculpted Holographic Tail Lamps: Ditches flat, covered lenses around the back in favor of premium, 3D-sculpted rear light bars [02:35]. The updated housing splits projection angles to bounce brilliant, indirect lighting sequences across the rear hatch.
Massive Deep-Well Boot: Features an exceptionally spacious 440-liter rear cargo hold [03:03]. Because it lacks an underfloor motor layout, it integrates a uniquely deep subfloor storage well that extends multiple hundreds of millimeters further down to swallow large travel luggage [03:12].
Advanced Bi-Directional V2X Capability: Ships completely factory-ready for smart, bi-directional energy transfer [04:02]. It features native Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) adapters alongside full Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) architecture to power home appliances or off-grid gear.
Inverted-L Google Dashboard: The forward cabin is anchored by a high-definition, inverted-L dual display screen [06:11] comprising a 12.3-inch driver cluster and a vertical 12-inch main infotainment screen running a native Google Automotive ecosystem [06:02].
Taller, More Ergonomic Footprint: To seamlessly house the larger battery pack without sacrificing passenger room, the 2027 chassis stands 20 mm taller [04:48], creating a much more comfortable seating position for adult passengers in the rear [04:55].

![Kia EV5 Range Test - Coast to Coast
Welcome to our Kia EV5 Coast-to-Coast Range Test!
We take the Kia EV5 in the high-spec GT-Line trim for a 320 km journey across Ireland—from the east coast in Dublin to the west coast in Mayo. In this real-world test, we push the 81.4 kWh battery to its limits in cold weather conditions (1°C to 8°C) to see how it performs under pressure. We evaluate its efficiency, discuss why Kia opted for a 400V architecture on this model, and see how much range is left after a cross-country drive with a full car.
Find out if the EV5 is the right electric SUV to replace your Sportage and how it holds up against its bigger brothers, the EV6 and EV9!
