Driving scenes of my VW Passat GTE from the driver's point of view (onboard video), recorded with a camcorder (installed on a tripod) and a stereo microphone.

Due to the electric drive the Passat GTE is a very quiet and comfortable car. Driving makes a lot of fun, especially in town. The battery range is 30-40 km, in winter only 20-30 km because of the electric heating. Charging at home (230V/10A) takes up to 4 hours. On long trips the petrol engine consumes 1-2 liter (per 100 km) less than my old Audi A4 1.8 TFSI (see    • 2013 Audi A4 (B8) Avant 1.8 TFSI mult...  ). The engine stops whenever the accelerator pedal is released, it never idles. Most of the braking energy is recuperated (not destroyed). The electric motor uses the gained energy for start-up and driving slow, i.e. whenever the petrol engine would be inefficient.
