Electric blues!!.
Electric blues!!
This is the moment Chelsea’s star players had dozens of footballs launched at them by a machine powered by a new electric car.
Club captain Cesar Azpilicueta, goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, defender Ben Chilwell and striker Olivier Giroud went out for a training session with a difference.
They were joined by the UK’s first Hyundai IONIQ 5 – a new electric car which has clever ‘vehicle-to-load’ technology that allows bi-directional charging.
This means the car’s powerful 800v battery can function as a 110/220V power outlet for electronic devices – in this case the Premier League side’s ball launchers.
The machines were then plugged into the IONIQ 5, giving the Premier League stars a tricky time as the balls were hurled towards them at high speeds.
The V2L function, which turns the car into a ‘charger on wheels’, can be used for any electric device – whether it’s scooters, electric bicycles or camping equipment.
With a 350-kW charger, IONIQ 5 can charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in 18 minutes. It takes around five minutes to get 100km of range.
The family car, which has a range of up to 480km’s between charges, is going on sale as demand for electric cars continues to grow.
