Friday 20th April 2018. Coming up today but we’ll start with three luxury cars.  AUDI E-TRON QUATTRO NÜRBURGRING VIDEO Firstly the new Audi e-tron Quattro has been seen on the track! What has been called just the Audi e-tron for a long time looks like it’s now e-tron Quattro as they use e-tron for lots of cars. So this is the SUV, the Jaguar I-PACE challenger and the latest electric offering from VW. There were plenty of them at the Geneva motor show ferrying around journalists and they were looking pretty finished and new video shows one being driven at speed around the Nürburgring race track Stats on this as a reminder: 95kWh pack with is smaller than the very top Teslas, but charging speeds of 150kW which bests the I-PACE at 100kW, that’s80% charge in half an hour. And I think that’s realistically 250miles ish of range, some say 300, either way it’s up there at the top end of anything you can buy in the next couple of years. And three motors will provide that intelligent 4 wheel drive system. I can’t wait to try it, I used to own a very quick Audi TT four wheel drive which used Audi’s famous Haldex system for transferring power from front to rear, and it was good. But I bet it’s norhing compared to the instant power offered by electric. The delivery date is still set for the end of this year, which surely means production is starting soon. The starting price is 80.000 euros but it’s never easy to do a direct translation due to taxes. Almost 250 prototypes will in the meantime complete a testing programme covering a target of over three million miles of real-world driving – equivalent to 125 linear trips around the world. Some markets can already pre-order one.   POLESTAR ONE VIDEO OF ARCTIC WEATHER TESTING Let’s stay with road testing gorgeous EV’s which are on our wish list. The Polestar 1. It is a very beautiful car, it’s not a full BEV but a PHEV and it’s officially launching next year. The engine is not only supercharged but turbocharged for good measure. They’re going for a pair of motors on the rear axle and that will provide the all-wheel drive. Just an aside – I heard from a motor journalist friend today that’s how the next gen VW Golf will do all wheel drive: motor up front, and electrified rear wheels, on something like the new Golf R. I’ll dig into that. Back to Polestar: "Our test drivers have given us some enthusiastic feedback on the handling and dynamics especially," Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, said in a press release. "This is a driver's car. We have now passed a major milestone in the development of the Polestar 1, and prototype testing continues throughout 2018." The electric range is pretty good too, they say and official range of 93 miles which is way above the typical PHEV luxury car, which even for the next gen models is around 20-30 miles. These tests, which you can watch on the short video Polestar posted, are all about matching the right parts together for best performance. Test drivers spent a fortnight in the Arctic, driving at -18F or -28C to try suspension parts. If you thought the Audi was pricey, the Polestar is $150,000, although I’m still a little confused. I thought it was only available on Volvo’s new subscription service. Then again if I walked in – although I’m not sure where ‘in’ would because it’s all online – but if I had 150k in cash I’m sure they wouldn’t kick me out of bed for farting. 7,000 potential customers have expressed an interest. Remember as well, Polestar 2 and 3 will be full BEVs.   NISSAN’S INFINITI TO USE E-POWER HYBRID Nissan’s Infiniti brand, much like Toyota’s Lexus, aims to capture the top end of the market and that still counts for EVs. And they plan to increase sales in China which can only mean one thing – electric versions. They want to go from 50,000 to 150,000 vehicles a year in China with 4 new models. From 2021 every Infiniti model launched will be either an all-electric car or so-called "e-Power" hybrids The e-power models Nissan make for China are selling really well; e-POWER adds a small gasoline engine to charge the high-output battery when necessary, eliminating the need for an external charger while offering the same high-output. So there’s no plug, like the way Toyota have laid out their stall for the future. The e-POWER system features full electric-motor drive, meaning that the wheels are completely driven by the electric motor. The power from a high-output battery is delivered to the e-POWER’s compact powertrain comprised of a gasoline engine, power generator, inverter, and a motor. In conventional hybrid systems, a low-output electric motor is mated to a gasoline engine to drive the wheels when the battery is low (or when traveling at high speeds). However, in the e-POWER system, the gasoline engine is not connected to the wheels; it simply charges the battery. China traditionally buys Mercs, BMW’s and Audis so it’s a big time for Nissan’s Infiniti.   NISSAN VAN GETS THE BIGGER BATTERY And staying with Nissan, but at the other end of the scale I think the e-NV200, apart from having a slightly stupid name, is an underrated gem. In van or people carrier body styles, the only thing that has started to date the van is being stuck with the original LEAF battery. Until…now. One of the best things about the battery is the thermal management which lacks on the LEAF and makes it very usable. Now Nissan are adding the 40kWh pack into the van, with an official range of over 180 miles. I reached out to YouTuber Ian Sampson, who has posted videos about his van, to ask for help on realistic range. He reckons 120 miles, at 60% motorway and 40% B roads. Thank you Ian. Deliveries will begin by the end of the year, I can’t tell you any more about US or European prices, it launches in the UK in 5 days’ time, so we can do some crude conversions when I know the price. I think a 120 mile, 7 seater EV, made by Nissan is the ideal taxi. I can’t begin to tell you how yesterday, in the heatwave we had in the UK, all those London black cabs sitting at the train stations just idling and pumping out diesel, we need 2 or 3 realistic choices for taxis and not just the official black cab from LEVC. The Nissan Press Release says: “A full charge in eight hours, even with higher capacity The Nissan e-NV200’s standard-equipment normal charger now has a capacity of 6 kW, up from 3 kW. By adding a wall-mounted 6kW normal-charging system, the 40kWh battery can be fully charged in about eight hours – roughly the same as the previous standard charger – at places such as a customer’s office or shop. Power Plug is now standard equipment in all models - a 100-volt outlet, can provide electricity for tools and equipment. 1000 watts of power from the Power Plug can be accessed for up to 15 hours, up from eight hours in the current model. With the optional EV Power Station installed, the Nissan e-NV200 can even supply electricity to offices and shops and serve as a backup power source during blackouts and emergencies.   CLARIFICATION ON CHADEMO CHARGERS AT ELECTRIFY AMERICA A quick correction on InsideEVs, and in turn, I guess a good clarification on this show, I told you how the Electrify America chargers would feature 50kW CHAdeMO plugs as well as 150kW or 350kW CCS plugs. But I never made the connection that they were in any way, dissing CHAdeMO. But Electrify America felt the need to issue a statement to InsideEVs: “The CHAdeMO connectors are certified at 100kW at 200 amps, however we have de-rated those connectors to 50kW.  The CHAdeMO connectors will stay de-rated until testing with all vehicles and adaptors are successfully completed. The intent is to offer 100kW for electric vehicles in the future. As a clarification – all dual-CHAdeMO and CCS chargers are capable of 150kW on the CCS-side and capable of a 100kW on the CHAdeMO-side.  As previously explained the CHAdeMO is de-rated to 50kW. (And that is for ABB, BTC Power, Efacec and Signet).  Since the de-rating is done by software, we will enable the 100kW CHAdeMO connectors at new and existing chargers after sufficient testing.”   ELECTRIFY AMERICA ADD CHARGERS TO WALMART Electrify America and Walmart announced a new partnership that will see the installation of fast charging stations at Walmart stores across the country” says Slashgear “Specifically, Electrify America plans to install its fast chargers at more than 100 Walmart locations in 34 states across the US by June 2019. In today’s announcement, Electrify America said that this initiative will more than double the number of Walmart locations in the US that offer EV charging stations.”   CHARGING MADE FRICTIONLESS What’s the worst thing about charging? Many would say having a card for every network, or fob, or contactless not being rolled out enough yet. German company Hubject has developed a solution which enables customers to access charging stations by means of a digital certificate: Plug&Charge via the international standard ISO 15118” says Green Car Congress: “The smart owner registers with the electricity supplier once using the Plug&Charge ID; the smart EV identifies itself as soon as it is plugged into a compatible charging station and charging starts automatically. Plug&Charge handles the authentication and billing. In conjunction with smart charging, tariff information provided by the charging station is used to optimise the charging process. Daimler AG has been a shareholder of Hubject GmbH since 2012, along with the BMW Group, Volkswagen Group, Bosch and others. In addition to the shareholders of Hubject, all market players worldwide across all industries can now join Hubject’s ISO 15118 ecosystem. And surely that’s the dream for EV’s when they become truly mainstream, lots or chargers in car parks or workplaces, and you just plug them in. That’s it. That does seem like a more ‘2018 solution’ if you get my drift, it’s more like tapping my phone on a contactless reader to pay for shopping. But actually even easier, it’s like the shop knowing it’s me when I’m shopping without ever having to tap my card anywhere.   I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.

Last week I spoke with Lyndsay Kearns about a canister of bear spray that exploded in her car. It was a horrible situation and the damage to her car was significant. If you'd like to hear her interview, check out www.mountainnaturepodcast.com/ep033. During the podcast I mentioned bear spray safety containers sold by Kodiak Wildlife Products. I've since received one and decided to give it a test. Yesterday I placed it in a car parked in the hot sun with a thermometer inside the canister. I also placed an oven thermometer in the windshield to see how hot the interior of the car became after a few hours in the hot sun. The outside temperature was a scorching 28C, but the interior of the car, it reached 70C or a whopping 158F. When I picked up the bear safety container it was extremely hot to the touch. When I opened it to check the thermometer, it had exceeded its maximum temperature of 50C. The website says that it protects against "accidental impact and heat that could damage or discharge your bear spray canister". It's clear from testing that it does not keep the bear spray below the maximum storage temperature of 50C as shown on the label of the Sabre Max bear spray canister. Will it still protect your car in the case of a canister explosion? I contacted the manufacturer and they said that they had not specifically tested whether it would stop an exploding canister from piercing the container. They are considering using more 'cooler' style materials thought to try to reduce the chance that the temperatures keep climbing beyond dangerous levels. I'll keep you posted as this story evolves. Next up - wildlife crossings Wildlife Crossing structures are expanding and changing The wildlife crossing structures in Banff National Park are an amazing success story of protecting wildlife and people from high speed collisions along park highways. Studies have shown that a properly designed and implemented combination of highway fencing along with under and overpasses for wildlife can reduce animal vehicle collisions by up to 95%. Banff National Park led the way in terms of building the first series of under and overpasses along a major highway. Their studies have documented more than 200,000 individual animal crossings so there can be absolutely no doubt as to their effectiveness. The average cost of hitting wildlife can be very high, if not fatal. Deer impacts typically exceed $6,000 while moose average out at around $30,000 or more. Banff has shown that investing in wildlife is effective for wildlife and dramatically reduces loss of life along highways - both for people and wildlife. I remember in the early 1990s, we used to call the Trans Canada Highway between Banff and Lake Louise the meat grinder because of the number of people and animals that were being killed. Thankfully, we can now look at that same stretch of highway as an inspiration for other destinations to aspire to…and that's what I want to talk about today. The work that Banff has done has shown that not only do the structures reduce mortality but they dramatically increase connectivity as well. A large highway can have the effect of completely dividing a landscape into two. In the past 20 years, more and more research has shown that good habitat for wildlife is not good enough. We need corridors that allow for a steady stream of fresh genetic material to move through landscapes. In many cases, a stretch of road with as few as 3.2 deer-vehicle collisions per kilometre per year would actually see a net benefit by building structures. Studies have shown that in cases like this, the cost benefits of building the structures can quickly exceed any costs involved in their construction. In 2015, Banff saw a total of 19 moderate to large animals killed along the Trans Canada Highway. This was less than half of the 41 animals killed in 2006. The stats in Banff show an 80% reduction in wildlife collisions. Carnivores are seeing a huge reduction in deaths but the real winner seems to be elk. Virtually no elk die in fenced sections of highway in Banff as opposed to 100 or more prior to the fences being constructed. Today in Banff, there are a total of 44 different crossing structures of which six are overpasses and 38 underpasses. While Banff got the ball rolling, by 2010 the research had finally led to interest from other jurisdictions. That’s why in 2010, an organization known as Animal Road Crossings or ARC, sponsored a design competition designed to bring fresh ideas and potentially cost savings to the design and implementation of future crossing structures. Every dollar saved in the construction can help to move the political process towards a yes decision in terms of expanding the use of crossing structures to new destinations. In fact in a 2012 survey of U.S. State Department of Transportation professionals, 84% indicated that their state considers the building of crossing structures to improve safety and connectivity. Unfortunately, those numbers don't translate into implementation. Funding was the number one reason given for not including them in the planning of highways and upgrades to road systems. Despite resistance in some areas, other areas in Canada and the U.S. are going full-steam ahead with new projects. Now that the Trans Canada is twinned and fenced all the way through Banff National Park, crews are working hard on expanding the twinning and fencing through neighbouring Yoho. They are already working on both an overpass and an underpass just west of the British Columbia Border. Perhaps the most ambitious one at the moment is taking place along Interstate 90 in Washington State which runs between Seattle and Spokane. The first overpass is being built near Snoqualmie Pass, just an hour east of Seattle. Like the overpasses in Banff, it will eventually be a forest covered crossing. When the project is finished, there will be a total of 27 over and underpasses along a 24 km stretch of highway. Programs have also taken place or been started in Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Nevada. Jackson Hole, Wyoming is also looking into creating a series of structures as well. Florida has a long history of using crossing structures particularly to protect the endangered Florida panther and California has used them to protect desert tortoises. More and more, the value of these structures are being applied to a wider diversity of wildlife - even salamanders. In Waterton Lakes National Park, specially designed underpasses were built specifically for the long-toed salamander. In a study conducted in 2009, research showed the salamanders had suffered a 60% loss in population since 1994. By building the underpasses, 130 salamanders were able to safely cross the road, dramatically reducing highway mortality. Banff should be very proud of the role it has played in helping spread the word about fencing and crossing structures and their role in helping to reduce wildlife mortality. Over the next decade, we can hope to see them spread far and wide as new jurisdictions begin to add them to their normal planning process for highway improvement projects. After all, 200,000 animal crossings in Banff has to say something about their effectiveness, not to mention an 80% reduction in animal deaths caused by vehicles. Wildlife Crossings Next up…Bear 148 gets one more chance Bear 148 in Trouble Grizzly 148, the well-known daughter of Banff most famous bear, number 64, has once again run afoul of provincial conservation officers by leaving the protection of Banff National Park and hanging around Quarry Lake and the Peaks of Grassi neighbourhood in Canmore. Despite the fact that they are built on a primary wildlife corridor and that they are right on the route that any bear would need to take were it to connect with the (hopefully) soon to be established Three Sisters Corridor, it seems provincial conservation officers have little tolerance for 148. She has never made contact with people, but she does not do well with dogs. This past week, she bluff charged a man with a child in a stroller that also had two dogs on leash. Any time dogs are involved in bear encounters there is a chance that the encounter may escalate. In most situations, when bears encounter people, they are looking to see whether we pose a threat or not. Two barking, growling dogs can definitely be interpreted that way and so she escalated to a bluff charge just to let them know that she was in charge. Bluff charges are just that…a bluff. It's a way to let something know that she is ready for business if need be. Like most bears, she then left them alone. No injuries occurred, just some shaky nerves. She essentially just did what she was supposed to do. She warned them to stay away and then she moved on. She is collared and so officials should have known she was in the area. As a result of this encounter, officials live trapped her and moved her back to her main turf around the town of Banff. They did state though that if she comes back to Canmore and has another similar encounter that they will euthanize her. As Bill Hunt from Banff National Park stated in a recent story in the Rocky Mountain Outlook: "Female bears are the reproductive engines of the population and she's lived her entire life in Banff National Park and surrounding area without incident so far." There's also a very good chance that she has mated for the first time this spring. At 6-1/2 years old, she's right at the age when bears in the central Rockies tend to begin mating. As it is, we have one of the lowest productivity rates of any bear population and so the loss of even one breeding female can make a big impact on the population. Canmore is her territory, just as much as Banff. As a community we need to find ways to live with bears or we will see more and more of them shot simply for hanging out where people can harass them. Just after closing off the area where 148 had her incident, Conservation Officers charged two people with a dog for crawling under the closure tape and ignoring the closure. Unfortunately, all it takes is a few more morons like these two that will help ensure that bears are no longer welcome on the landscape. It makes no sense to fight for a corridor along the Three Sisters lands if bears are not allowed to move through the Canmore Nordic Centre, Power Line Trail, Quarry Lake and Peaks of Grassi in order to actually reach it. They are all connected. We already have the most developed landscape in the world where grizzlies still exist and unless we as a community vow to share the mountains with bears than the bears will simply be shot one after the other. Let's hope that 148 stays put in Banff, but the buffaloberry season is now upon us. I spotted my first ripe berries last week, right in the heart of Canmore. Even if 148 stays away, bears WILL be moving into the valley bottoms to feed on these berries. A bear like 148 can eat up to 200,000 buffaloberries every day. That's the equivalent of you eating 75 Big Macs, every day for the next 6 weeks. It's the one food that allows them to build their fat layers for winter. The safety concern is that the berries need sunlight to grow. That means they need an opening in the forest canopy…which is exactly what a trail or a road provides. This means that almost all low elevation trails in the area are lined with grizzly bear buffets. If there are buffaloberries, there will be bears nearby. If you learn to identify just one plant in the central Rockies, make it this one. This summer, instead of complaining about the closures that will be coming as bears gather to feed on berries, forget about the low elevation trails. This is a great time of year to do some of the higher ridgewalks like the Mount Allan Centennial Trail or Sunshine Meadows. You can avoid the bears simply by avoiding the berries. It doesn't mean you won't encounter a bear, but you can dramatically shift the odds in your favour by avoiding areas with large patches of buffaloberries. If you're a mountain biker, sloooooow down. The bears are so focused on feeding that if you scream down some of the nordic centre trails, you may find yourself with a very close encounter. Everyone needs to carry bear spray, even along local town trails. Make sure it is on your belt and not strapped to your pack or your bike. If you get separated from them, you will still have your spray only if it's on your person. Bears are an amazing part of the mountain landscape. They are one of the key reasons that visitors state for visiting this area. We all rely on tourism for the lifeblood of the valley and we need to do our part to make sure that the grandchildren of today's visitors will still be able to see grizzlies 50 years from now. I hope to be around to see bear 148s great grandchildren as well. New Method to Count Bears Biologists have developed a new method to estimate bear populations and densities in the mountains. By placing hundreds of remote wildlife cameras along trails throughout the mountains, and combining this with radio collar data, they can get a much more accurate estimate of grizzly populations. Historically, they would need to do extensive field work to collect dna from hair and scat samples. As biologists look at the cost of another dna study in Banff, the estimate runs at almost a half a million dollars and hundreds of man hours in the field. During the study, researchers Jesse Whittington and Mark Hebblewhite trapped and collared 22 grizzlies. This was followed up by placing 214 remote cameras they were able to track the collared grizzlies as well as unknown individuals as they were captured on the cameras. Without the help of cameras, they would have come to the conclusion that the population had dropped by as much as 51%. The use of cameras makes it much easier for researchers and land managers to estimate population densities for animals like grizzlies. Parks Canada cameras have captured more than 2,000 images of bears in just the past 3 years. They are also regularly capturing photographs of five females and their young. The important thing in this method is that the combination of collar data and cameras is what allows them to estimate density. In the central Rockies, they estimated around 13 bears per 1,000 km. These are fairly stable numbers and compare well to studies done 10 or more years ago. However, this stability relies on keeping breeding females like 148 on the landscape. If we start to lose the reproductive engines of the population, we could see a steep decline in numbers. Let's all do our part in not just staying away from bear prone areas during buffaloberry season but also reporting violations like off-leash dogs that could result in a very negative interaction with a grizzly. If a bear has to die because you thought it was your God given right to have your dog illegally off-leash, then you should not be living in a community that prides itself on being bear aware. And I would hope that everyone around you would report that violation to the appropriate authorities. Let's celebrate that our bears are doing well, but maintain our vigilance so that the trend continues. Next up…Where did Waterton get it's name. Carol Patterson has spent the last two decades traveling the world. She writes and speaks extensively about reinventing your business and your life with travel. Her writing has been featured in BBC Travel, Avenue Magazine, Roadstories.ca, Alaska magazine and more. More recently, one of her stories won second place in the Best Sustainable/Responsible Tourism Feature category at the Travel Media Association of Canada Conference. In June, Carol presented at the Waterton Wildflower Festival about the naming of Waterton Lakes National Park and about the park's namesake Charles Waterton. Recently she was nice enough to share some of her story with me in an interview. I hope you enjoy it.

Though they have been going through much trouble and hard times, their wonderful joy and deep poverty have overflowed in rich generosity. For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford but far more. And they did it of their own free will. They begged us again and again for the gracious privilege of sharing in the gift for the Christians in Jerusalem. Best of all, they went beyond our highest hopes, for their first action was to dedicate themselves to the Lord. Ephesians 2:10 NKJV For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
