and some people say the delays could continue well into 2022.
其他人则更为乐观
Others are more optimistic.
但就像新冠一样，做出预测从来都不是一件容易的事
But like COVID, making predictions is never an easy affair.
欢迎回到大众电动运输车
Welcome back to our EV Van challenge
和奔驰电动维托之间的电动客货车挑战赛
between the VW E transporter and the Mercedes Evito.
目前为止，这两辆车都没有让我们为之惊艳的地方
So far, neither vehicle has exactly blown our socks off.
在第一轮中，奔驰赢得了一般道路的胜利
In round one, the Mercedes notched up a win for general road manners.
在第二轮中，大众汽车在我们
And in round two, the Volkswagen took the spoils
测试负载拖曳性能时拿下了胜利
when we tested their load lugging performance.
而现在，忙碌的送货司机最不想要的就是一辆缓慢的客货车
Now, the last thing a busy delivery driver wants is a sluggish van.
所以我们的最终测试将评估
So our final test will assess
它们在这条操控性赛道上的速度
how quick they are around this handling circuit.
由于续航并非这个测试的优先项目
And as range is not the priority in this test,
我们将关闭限速器
we're going to switch off the speed limiters
这样两辆客货车都可以自♥由♥运用 100%的电池电量
so that both vans can help themselves to 100% of their battery's power.
依照惯例，我先出发
Once again, I'll go first
而我值得信赖的同事吉米负责按码表
while my trusty workmate Jimmy takes charge of the stopwatch.
我们到起跑线上了
We're on the start line here.
我比奔驰轻了大约60公斤
I'm about 60 kilos lighter than the Merc.
是的
Yes.
但我的马力有点低
But I'm a little bit down on horsepower.
大概少了四匹
By four.
据我估计，功率重量比
By my reckoning, that's going to make the power to
应该会是相同的
weight ratio identical.
也就是每吨♥49匹马力
And it is at 49 HP per tonne.
我们势均力敌
We're evenly matched.
你准备好了吗？
Are you ready?
我准备好了
I am ready.
杰森，三、二、一，出发
JP, 3,2,1, go.
冲啊
Go on.
上面说我正处于最大动力
So it's saying I'm at Max power.
也就表示大众现在能在 17.4秒内达到时速62英里
And that means the VW is now capable of getting to 62 in 17.4 seconds
并且时间仍然足够
and given enough time,
它的速度将达到惊人的时速75英里
it will go on to a whopping at 75 mph.
感觉如何？
How's it feeling?
感觉还行
Feels alright.
踩到底了
It's flat out.
我已经油门踩到底了
It's flat everywhere. Yeah.
这个弯道很棘手
Tricky corner this one.
哦，逼近边缘
Ooh on the edge.
来了，越过终点线，这就是我的极速
Here we go, across the line, I'm at maximum.
停止计时
And stop.
1分4秒77
1 minute 4 seconds point 77.
其实还可以，是啊
It's ok actually, yeah.
接下来是奔驰
Next the Merc.
为了排除驾驶风格的任何差异
And to rule out any difference in driving styles,
将由我来掌舵
I'll be taking the helm.
所以你得超越1分4秒77
So you've now got 1 minute, 4 seconds.
各就各位，准备，出发
Point 77 to beat on your marks, get set, go.
哦，拜托！
Oh come on!
好像轮胎粘在地上一样，是吗？
It's still a slabby on the go, isn't it?
事实上，奔驰0到62英里的时间其实比大众慢
In fact, the Mercedes 0-62 time is actually slower than the VW's.
总共要19.5秒
At 19.5 seconds, though.
它们的极速同样都是时速75英里
It has the same 75 miles an hour top speed.
哦，我们直接驶进来了
Oh, we're straight in.
我准备好了
I'm hanging on now.
加油啊，奔驰
Come on Mercedes.
不管用什么方法我都很难判断，到底哪辆更快
Very difficult to say one way or the other, which is quicker.
毕竟我人还坐得好好的
Very difficult for me to sit still.
我不敢说它的车头还剩下多少抓地力
I wouldn't say it's got anymore front grip,
如果它有任何抓地力的话
if anything it's got less.
-但是还是有一些… -加油…
-We had some... -Come on, come on!
马达的扭力
...electric toys on there.
停止计时！
And stop!
1分3秒，所以快了1秒
1 minute 3 seconds, so 1 second in it.
那不算什么
That's nothing is it.
不算什么
No nothing.
但是维托在赛道上的速度更快
But the Vito was faster around the track,
这意味着在三场测试中，它赢得了两场
which means it won two out of three tests.
因此，基本上它成为了最大赢家
So that makes it technically overall winner.
是的
Yes.
不，老实说，因为在两辆客货车上都待了一整天后
Well, no, actually, because having spent a day in both vans,
我们得出了相反的结论
we've come to the opposite conclusion.
老实说，我更喜欢驾驶大众
In all honesty, I prefer driving the VW.
早上测完后，我比较喜欢这辆
I started off in the morning preferring this.
我觉得里面有点光滑
I just thought it was a bit slicker on the inside.
我觉得更舒适
I just thought it felt nicer.
那这辆车的噪音呢？
How much noiser is this?
然后是维托在装载货物时的表现
And then there was the Vito's performance when loaded up.
就是这样，时速20英里
That's it, 20mph.
购买♥♥客货车的目的就是四处装载东西
And the whole reason for buying a van is to carry things around.
坦白讲，它在那次测试中表现非常糟糕
Frankly, its performance during that test was dreadful.
我已经越来越喜欢大众了
I've grown to like the VW.
我也是
Yeah me too.
在数据上是这辆获胜但实际上，我们都更喜欢另一辆
This wins on numbers, but actually, we both prefer the other one.
没错，我同意
Absolutely, I agree.
要喝杯茶吗？
Cup of tea?
喝杯茶，好啊我可能会把报纸拿出来
Cup of tea, yeah, I might get the newspaper out.
无论是奔驰还是大众我们的客货车司机都很喜欢
Neither the Merc or the VW is going to excite white van man,
而且老实说，驾驶体验也都和汽油版差不多
though, and to be honest, both feel like what they are.
所以我选柴油客货车的诱人电动改装款
Tasty EV conversions of a diesel van
而不是专门特地打造的电动车
rather than a proper ground up EV model.
我们的建议是等到
Our advice is to hold out
下一代客货车具备即将上市的福特大头电动版所承诺的
the next generation of load luggers like the upcoming E Transit promise,
200英里以上的续航和更强大的性能
a range of 200 miles plus and much stronger performance.
那么这才算值得期待
Now that is something to get excited about.
