I'm here on a job site with Tim, who owns his own electrical contracting business.
01:06
Three employees and two work trucks.
01:08
Tim traded up to Geico commercial auto insurance.
01:11
We're positively here, where he needs us most.
01:14
With step-by-step help on all his insurance needs.
01:17

01:19
Shockingly low, huh?
01:21
Just a little bit of electrician humor.
01:24
You know, it feels like we have a real connection.
01:26
All right, I'll stop.

Welcome back to the Nevo EV News podcast.
02:07
If it's Tuesday, it must be Nevo EV Newsday.
02:10
It has been another busy week.
02:11
They call it Tech September, Tech-Tember.
02:15
I don't know what they're going to call it in the electric vehicle world,
02:17
but it is a crazy month.
02:19
Since last week's episode with the interview with Simon Andretetti,
02:23
my colleague in Nevo, we have been or I have been doing lots of travelling.
02:27
We got to go to Spain to drive the all-new Kia EV4.
02:33
It has not one but two different body types, hatchback and what they're calling now
02:37
is a fastback, which was originally called a sedan.
02:41
So we were driving that Wednesday and Thursday.
02:44
I came back to Ireland, flew out again on Friday morning over to Grimsby
02:47
to do a video shoot with my energy.
02:50
Great to see it never been there in the factory before.
02:52
Very impressive and very impressive what's coming down the line
02:55
with the all-new My Energy Zappy Glow.
02:59
More of that coming to the podcast in the future.
03:02
Now when we get the video edited and ready to go out,
03:05
then on Friday evening after that headed down to London,
03:09
caught a couple of different trains and landed down
03:12
and on Saturday morning got a transfer out to Dunton.
03:16
And for those who know their automotive world,
03:19
specifically the commercial automotive world,
03:21
Dunton is the home of Ford of Great Britain.
03:24
And I was there because it was 60 years of transit.
03:27
There was a transit day festival,
03:29
but also they were doing a trying to set a Guinness World Record
03:34
for the longest amount or parade of vans ever assembled.
03:40
So we cover that and then you're coming to live tonight from Rotterdam,
03:45
where we are test driving the all-new Nissan Micra.
03:47
And so we'll come back to that towards the in the podcast.
03:51
For those that don't know, my name is Derek Riley
03:53
and on this podcast we chat about all things electric vehicles.
03:56
Nebo is Ireland's only dedicated electric vehicle platform
03:59
and we'll be covering where we were, what we've been driving
04:01
and what we've been doing between the podcasts.
04:03
If you haven't already subscribed or followed us,

And if you enjoyed this episode,
04:08
please leave a rating and a comment.
04:10
It really, really does help us and it doesn't cost you anything.
04:13
So let's get stuck in.
04:14
So last Wednesday morning headed off right nearly to Marbella
04:20
for the launch, the first drive of the Kia EV4.
04:23
And the key EV4 comes in two different body styles,
04:26
a fastback and a hatchback.
04:30
Fastback is interesting.
04:32
It's growing on me actually.
04:33
I would have started originally back in February,
04:36
but a hatchback is going to be the one
04:37
that has been designed in Europe
04:38
and it's going to be the first electric vehicle
04:40
manufactured in Europe by Kia.
04:43
It is all about the opposite United design philosophy.
04:48
And so it is the fourth generation battery.
04:53
It has the 400 volt architecture.
04:56
So not quite the 800 volt as per EV6 and EV9,
05:00
but still you're getting your charge in about 30 minutes.
05:03
The fastback trim has a range of 625 kilometers.
05:12
So efficiency, it's all about it.
05:14
It's 30 centimeters longer than the hatch.
05:16
It's going to be the majority model
05:18
that's going to be in Korea and in North American market.
05:21
Two different battery sizes, a 58.3 kilowatt hour
05:24
standard battery, 29 minutes charging, front wheel drive,
05:32
150 kilowatt electric motor, 0 to 107.7 seconds.
05:36
Slightly faster with the standard range battery,
05:39
the 7.7 seconds necessarily with the larger battery.
05:43
It has 435 liters of luggage space,
05:46
0.27 drag coefficient.
05:49
Then the hatchback is going to have,
05:56
sorry, the fastback is going to have a larger boost, 490.
05:59
They're both going to have vehicle to load,
06:01
vehicle to grid technology.
06:03
And the fastback has a range of 633 with the earth trim,
06:09
625 with the GT line trim.
06:13
So two videos up on the channel,
06:14
some other YouTubers have done one video.
06:16
I said two separate audiences.
06:18
If you're interested in one, you won't want to be bothered
06:20
or you won't be interested in the other one.
06:21
So I've done two separate videos,
06:23
one on the hatch and one on the fastback.
06:25
So pop over to the YouTube channel
06:27
if you haven't already done so.
06:29
Very similar interior, if it's the earth trim,
06:32
it is a two spoke steering wheel.
06:33
If it's the GT line, it's a three spoke steering wheel.
06:36
Then you've got your two 12.3 inch screens
06:38
and a 5.5 inch HVAC screen in the middle.
06:41
So nearly 30 inch screen going across the both of them.
06:47
Floating center console, center shelf island.
06:52
Decent leg room in the rear,
06:53
just the high support can be,
06:55
depending on how tall that person is
06:57
because of that lower down,
06:59
because it is a hatch and a saloon,
07:02
it is going to be not giving you the height
07:04
that an SUV will hide that battery underneath.
07:07
It's not bad, just something to be aware of it.
07:10
And then the saloon fastback is the hatch opening.
07:15
It's not a lift back.
07:21
So it is a narrow opening,
07:24
very similar to the letter box opening
07:26
that you're going to see through the rear view mirror.
07:29
The drive is phenomenal.
07:31
Hydraulic bushings are hydro stop
07:34
or there's something they're doing with the bushings
07:36
and they've done a specific Michelin tires
07:40
and the suspension has been a bit of aluminium
07:43
and used there for lightweight and for rebound
07:46
and all the rest of it, but the drive is phenomenal.
07:49
And I would have felt that on the EV3 as well,
07:50
but they've done a really great job with the driving of it.
07:54
So the fact that it's lower down,
07:56
you're getting better range, 17 or 18 inch tires,
08:00
wheels, sorry, two videos up in the channel,
08:03
go and have a look,
08:04
going to be in the dealers in October
08:06
and they're going to be at the show,
08:07
the Nevo show in November as well as the EV5,
08:10
which will be brand new and first look at the Nevo show.
08:14
So if you haven't already registered for your tickets,
08:17
head over to nevo.ee.
08:18
Friday the 7th is going to be a business day
08:20
and Saturday the 8th is going to be the consumer day.
08:25
As well as that, we're going to have PB5,
08:28
We won't be able to talk about that
08:30
until a couple of weeks,
08:31
but that is going to be at the Nevo show on the,
08:34
but if you're interested in a more business focused talk,
08:37
that is the Friday is the one for you.
08:40
While it's at the EV4 drive,
08:42
we also got a chat to Alex,
08:43
who looks after product and pricing for Kia in Europe.
08:46
So let's get stuck into that interview.
08:47
So my name is Alex Papa Petropoulos.
08:51
That's a very long Greek name
08:53
and I'm the product director for Kia Europe.
08:56
So Kia Europe, lots going on,
08:59
lots of product, lots of great product.
09:03
We were in Spain in Malaga.
09:04
I thought I was coming to Marbella,
09:05
but it's too many places in Spain I'm traveling to.
09:08
So Malaga and we're at the premiere of the EV4,
09:11
sorry, the first drive of the EV4.
09:16
Alex, C-segment, important segment in Europe,
09:19
first car to be built in Europe as well, EV.
09:22
In general, and this is a very important car for us
09:26
for several reasons.
09:27
As you said, C-segment is a very important segment
09:32
People have in mind SUVs,
09:34
but we need to keep in mind that in Europe,
09:37
around 40% of the market is non-SUVs.
09:41
So there's still a big portion of customers
09:44
who want non-SUVs, I would say.
09:49
And also it's very important for us
09:52
because as you said,
09:52
it's the first electric Kia built in Europe.
09:58
As you might know, I mean,
09:59
in the past in Zilina, in our Slovakian factory,
10:02
we were building IC cars only.
10:05
So the seat family, X-seed, proceeds,
10:09
Spottage, but we were not building EVs
10:12
and now we expanded the production line
10:19
to also be able to accommodate EVs.
10:23
It's also an important investment for us,
10:25
more than 100 million euros.
10:28
And in the future, we're also going to be having
10:31
So we, I would say, actively start to electrify the plant.
10:38
EV4 is unique in the sense of it has one nameplate,
10:41
but two body forms.
10:44
When we saw this originally back at EV Day in February,
10:47
we would have been calling it the sedan,
10:50
but now it's the fastback.
10:52
North America getting very excited about it.
10:54
Europe looking at both options
10:57
and having that choice,
10:58
North America will only have fastback option
11:00
or that's the way it's going to be
11:02
and Europe will have the hatchback.
11:04
That seems to be the main talking point.
11:06
It's an amazing car, but people are talking
11:08
about fastback shape.
11:10
Some people like it.
11:11
Some people are indecisive about it.
11:13
I mean, it's important to say that EV4
11:15
is a global project with a very strong European focus
11:19
when it comes to the hatchback.
11:20
So a hatchback was developed for Europe,
11:23
designed in Europe and produced in Europe
11:27
for the European market.
11:28
So clearly the focus is the hatchback,
11:33
but we are expanding the product coverage
11:37
but also offering the fastback.
11:42
But we expect in terms of fastback sales mix,
11:48
domestic market, so in Korea and also US,
11:51
of course we present a higher portion than the European one.
11:54
For European it's going to be mainly the hatchback we expect.
11:57
Your colleague gave a great presentation
11:59
before this interview and we were chatting about
12:01
how people who are in C-segment hatchbacks
12:04
are staying in C-segment hatchbacks
12:06
and coming from C-segment hatchbacks,
12:09
they're not interested in SUV.
12:10
They like that driving dynamic.
12:12
They like that lower down position.
12:14
Whereas we've heard over years
12:15
that people want SUV, people are going SUV.
12:18
It's great to see Kia saying no,
12:20
it's actually, we're looked at the numbers
12:21
when we think there's a market here for C-segment hatchbacks.
12:24
As I was saying before,
12:25
when you look at the entire European market,
12:29
approximately 40% of the market is non-crossovers,
12:33
So as you said, 40% is still a big part of the market,
12:38
which is low stance passenger cars.
12:42
So yeah, there is a market there.
12:44
I think it's also one of the main differentiators
12:46
when it comes to other products in a lineup.
12:48
We have EV3 and soon EV5.
12:51
EV4 is our first passenger EV.
12:57
And speaking of segments,
12:59
you are mentioning the C-segment.
13:02
Yeah, I mean, with EVs, as you know, the segments,
13:08
borders are quite blurred, right?
13:12
And when we look at the,
13:15
I mean, EV4 is sitting on the EV dedicated platform,
13:19
with a quite long wheelbase, it's 2.82 meters,
13:24
which is, yeah, 14 centimeters more than what you get,
13:27
for example, on a CSUV, on an ICE spotter, for example.
13:31
So you get roominess, which is above the traditional,
13:35
I would say, C-segment cars.
13:36
So we expect the car also to have access
13:40
into segments beyond the traditional C-hatchback segments.
13:44
And then the choice of if somebody wants
13:46
a bigger trunk or boot, as we say in the Irish market,
13:50
wants more range, more aerodynamics,
13:53
the fastback is there, 30 extra centimeters.
13:57
Did I hear somewhere that EV,
13:59
it's something similar to an EV6 in length,
14:01
or am I in around that kind of, I'm getting looked at?
14:04
Yeah, EV6 is also approximately 4.7 meter.
14:08
I mean, I would say the height of EV6,
14:12
I mean, it's more like a crossover,
14:15
but I think one of the benefits
14:20
that also you get with passenger EVs,
14:23
and I think that's why also they will remain relevant
14:25
in the future is that in terms of efficiency,
14:30
I mean, you have a smaller frontal area on the surface.
14:35
So in terms of efficiency, they're better than EVs.
14:37
So I think that was perhaps less of a concern
14:40
when you were talking to ICE customers,
14:43
and I think in the EV era,
14:45
efficiency, long distance capability,
14:49
these are important factors to take into account
14:53
when purchasing a car.
14:54
So I think we are far from seeing passenger EVs dying.
15:01
I'm that person that would prefer the 17 inch wheels
15:05
with the earth trim to get that 633.
15:08
25, yeah, over the three on the flatback.
15:10
So I want the maximum range.
15:12
I think a lot of EV people.
15:13
Yeah, and I think perhaps also something
15:15
which is important to mention is that,
15:17
of course, you have WLTP cycle.
15:20
But yeah, I think passenger cars,
15:23
especially at high speeds, motorway driving,
15:27
that's where also you start seeing an efficiency gap
15:30
with other higher body types.
15:33
We're in a beautiful war, Malaga at the moment,
15:35
and I saw an efficiency number on my dash
15:38
when I was driving it.
15:39
Now I had been reset and I only driven a small amount,
15:41
but it was a phenomenal number.
15:43
But I can't say that number until we bring it back to Ireland
15:46
and it's wet and it's windy,
15:47
and it's a bit more realistic for my audience, but...
15:50
It's colder as well.
15:51
It's colder as well, yes.
15:54
So I'm really looking forward to driving it on Irish roads
15:58
and for my own audience to understand how efficient,
16:01
but I can remember Kia's back all the way back to your...
16:05
Nero at the time, yeah.
16:06
E-Nero and multi-fuel platform.
16:09
And Kia was doing more efficient multi-fuel products
16:12
than some dedicated EV products,
16:14
whatever witchcraft was going on there.
16:16
So some phenomenal efficiencies back in the day,
16:18
but also, as of now, dedicated E-GMP platform,
16:22
big range, great charging speeds,
16:25
and more and more product coming, Alex.
16:27
So EV2, EV5, PB as well.
16:34
Did you have the chance to drive also?
16:35
Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
16:36
Yes, so we cover electric vans on the channel.
16:38
I mean, all these products, you know, I would say
16:40
they are part of Plan S,
16:42
which is our long-term strategic plan,
16:46
which includes, I mean, globally,
16:48
we're going to be having 15 EVs by 2030.
16:51
And the vast, I would say, majority of them
16:53
will also be available in the European market.
16:57
But EV4 or EV2 or PV5 as well, you know,
17:01
it's also one of the business pillars
17:05
for us to move into a sustainable mobility solutions provider.
17:13
So all these are, I would say, stepping stones
17:19
Out of all the, my last question for you, Alex,
17:21
out of all of Plan S, what are you most excited about
17:24
across the product portfolio?
17:26
Is it getting into that commercial vehicle space?
17:28
I'm really excited to see the wheelchair-accessible vehicle,
17:31
because I think it's great having a dedicated platform
17:33
with that body, with EGMPS platform on it.
17:37
What excites you the most?
17:38
And please don't tell me all of it excites you,
17:40
because I want an actual...
17:41
Well, I think, I mean, I'm a car guy,
17:45
and I think what is exciting
17:47
is that it's a decade of transformation in general.
17:51
So, you know, we hear a lot of people saying
17:55
that in the next five years,
17:56
we're going to be seeing more changes
17:58
in the last 20 or 30 or 50 years, right?
18:01
And that's, I think, industry-wise.
18:04
It's not just about Kia.
18:06
So I'm quite, I mean, I think it's a quite good time
18:09
to work for a car industry,
18:12
or to cover the car industry.
18:17
And yeah, I think we're going to see a lot of new things
18:21
in the next five years.
18:22
When we started the channel, it was electric.
18:24
We only cover electric vehicles.
18:26
And when I started it six years ago,
18:27
people were like, you're crazy.
18:28
There isn't enough product.
18:29
There isn't enough content to put out there.
18:31
And I think Kia have done a great job
18:33
of not just talking a good game
18:35
because a lot of brands will put out concepts
18:36
or we're thinking about this technology
18:38
or we're going to have this range in five years' time.
18:40
And Kia, I would have seen EV3, EV4,
18:44
at CES last year, 2024.
18:48
And now I'm in Spain driving the EV4 from concepts
18:51
that we're on a stand outside of CES in Las Vegas.
18:53
So it's phenomenal to see how fast...
18:55
And the concept is very close.
18:56
The production car is very close to the concept.
19:00
And EV2 is going to be the same story.
19:03
And yeah, you know,
19:07
especially when it comes to the European market,
19:09
it's a very diverse market in terms of electrification.
19:12
You have countries like Ireland,
19:14
which are already above 20% in terms of EV mix.
19:18
You have other countries.
19:19
I mean, my home country is Greece,
19:21
where we are below 5%.
19:24
So it's, I think, the speeds
19:26
at which countries will get into electrification
19:33
But the trend is definitely upwards.
19:35
And different countries, you talk about Greece, etc.
19:37
It might be more B-segment, C-segment, smaller cars.
19:40
People use smaller vehicles to get around.
19:42
And that electrification of those smaller vehicles
19:44
Yeah, I think there are several aspects.
19:46
I mean, it's about purchasing power.
19:51
I mean, in some countries,
19:53
purchasing power is higher than other countries.
19:55
It's about charging infrastructure.
19:58
Talking about Greece, we have,
20:00
I think it's less than 7,000, 8,000 charging stations.
20:04
In the Netherlands, you have 180,000, I think, now, 190,000.
20:10
So quite a big difference.
20:11
It's about even the housing structure.
20:17
We see that in those countries where,
20:19
you know, there's a higher portion of people
20:22
living in detached or semi-detached houses.
20:24
So they have easy home charging.
20:28
There's kind of a strong correlation
20:29
with also the electrification rates in those countries.
20:34
And, of course, government incentives.
20:35
And that push from government exactly from the top.
20:38
Alex, thank you so much for your time.
20:43
So that was the Kia EV4 hatchback and fastback
20:48
on the Thursday and Friday of last week.
20:51
Sorry, Wednesday and Thursday of last week.
20:52
Home, I think it was eight hours at home.
20:54
And then it turned around and back out again
20:56
for a flight to Grimsby,
20:58
talking with Noel there for my energy Ireland
21:01
and looking at, I've never been.
21:03
I'd seen pictures, Jordan Brompton
21:06
and the co-founders of my energy.
21:09
And I knew it was a cool, funky production facility
21:13
and offices, but it is a very...
21:15
And it's sprawling.
21:16
You don't realize how many levels
21:17
and many rooms and offices are in the place,
21:19
but also the production facility.
21:21
And what I didn't realize that every single piece of hardware
21:23
that comes out of that factory is inspected.
21:27
It's not a one-to-ten, it's not a one-to-twenty,
21:29
which a lot of manufacturers would do,
21:31
every single, whether it's an eddy,
21:33
whether it's a zappy, whatever it may be,
21:35
is inspected and checked to make sure
21:37
that it is functioning correctly.
21:39
And all the way along the production line,
21:41
there's optical checks.
21:42
So there's a full video on that
21:43
where we talked to Noel about my energy,
21:45
which actually chat to Lee,
21:47
the one of the co-founders of my energy.
21:49
And we talked to Neil about
21:51
guarding the production and the quality control.
21:53
So that'll be a real interesting meet the experts,
21:55
one of our series here at Nevo.
21:58
Couple of trains then down, train at Doncaster or Dany,
22:02
as they call it over there.
22:03
And then Doncaster down to King's Cross
22:05
and then on the new Elizabeth line,
22:07
which I had never been on before,
22:09
over to Stratford for the night,
22:11
up early on the Saturday morning and off to Dunton.
22:13
I'd been before when they launched Ford Explorer
22:16
and myself and Kahal.
22:19
Doyle from Fleet Magazine was there.
22:22
And so we got to go around the test track
22:26
for the Guinness World Record Attempt.
22:29
Previous record was 101 vans all in a parade,
22:35
moving at the same time, all behind each other.
22:38
And on the morning, I was driving a Ford E-Trans
22:41
a custom sport, beautiful electric van.
22:45
Had the stripes down the middle of it
22:47
and beautiful red color.
22:49
And they absolutely smashed the record.
22:51
It was, Rich Previous was 101 and they had 201
22:55
with vans to spare.
22:57
The test track at Dunton was wasn't big enough.
22:59
So new Guinness World Record for Ford, congratulations.
23:02
And nice that it was part of that as well
23:05
with Brian from Harris PR.
23:07
And so there will be a little video on socials
23:10
and a certificate coming in the post at some stage
23:12
for a Guinness World Record.
23:15
My second, I got one maybe 15 years ago,
23:18
maybe 16 or 17 years ago.
23:22
I don't hold that first one anymore.
23:24
It was superseded by somebody else, but it was a previous,
23:29
we were joking, previous world record holder,
23:31
but now I'm back to being a world record holder
23:32
with the Ford parade of vans.
23:36
And then afterwards, it was 60 years of transit.
23:38
So there was a big festival at Chelmsford Waste Course
23:42
which is around the corner from Dunton, Ford Dunton.
23:46
The really good Mike Brewer,
23:48
which I didn't realize was an ambassador,
23:50
but a lot of people hanging out on photographs
23:52
and he chaired a couple of talks,
23:54
one with people who use Ford transits
23:56
and other Ford vehicles in their business.
23:59
And another one that was about used Fords
24:01
and the reliability of them
24:04
and the dealer network that they have.
24:06
As well as that, then there was a couple of musical acts
24:09
and lots of activities and partners
24:11
from Ford there at the event
24:14
and then flew back on Saturday night late through Stansted
24:19
which was delightful, probably my least favorite airport.
24:23
That was Ford on Saturday.
24:24
Then Sunday morning, we had the Dublin EV owners meet up
24:27
down in Polestar Dublin.
24:28
Thank you to them for hosting it.
24:30
So it was great to see that new showroom phenomenal.
24:34
And the two, the three and the four,
24:36
beautiful Ford there with a performance pack
24:38
with that body colored moldings on it.
24:41
Very subtle, but very nice.
24:44
And some phenomenal prices and values there with Polestar.
24:47
There's a business edition Polestar four
24:49
for under 60,000 euros.
24:54
And then that was Santa on the morning,
24:58
went and spent some time with Patricia
25:00
and Darren our dog on Sunday afternoon
25:02
and then up at 3.30 this morning
25:05
to catch a flight to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport
25:10
and we were then on a train to Rotterdam
25:13
and that's where I'm recording this podcast tonight
25:15
where we're looking at the all new Nissan Micra.
25:19
And so comes in two different battery sizes,
25:21
a 40 kilowatt given you over 317 kilometers of range
25:25
and then a 52 kilowatt given you 416.
25:29
It's the sixth generation Micra.
25:34
they have done nearly 6 million units to date.
25:38
Totally electric now.
25:41
Gonna be made in France based on that and pair platform,
25:46
small car platform rate, it weighs about 1500 kgs.
25:51
Tighten off the back, not a huge boot with 326
25:54
but it's a city car.
25:56
I sat in the back a bit sideways now, don't get me wrong
26:00
because it has a wheelbase of 2.54
26:03
but DC charging of 100 kilowatt, vehicle to load,
26:09
vehicle to grid, Google built in.
26:13
So there will be a video going up on the channel.
26:15
This will be going out on Tuesday morning,
26:17
hopefully Tuesday evening slash Wednesday,
26:19
I'll be getting this video up off of it as well.
26:21
So nice design features on it,
26:24
circular front daytime running lights and headlamps
26:26
and then circular rear.
26:27
It has a nice little gelato scoop
26:30
along the bodywork on the side
26:31
as if Tommy took an ice cream scoop
26:33
and then brought it all the way along.
26:36
And some beautiful colors.
26:37
I think it's either 12 or 14 color combinations
26:40
because they do a white roof, a black roof
26:42
and then some other colors.
26:43
The blue is the predominant color.
26:46
And so yeah, good to be here.
26:50
Video will be going up on the channel soon.
26:52
It's been a busy week
26:53
and there's gonna be more to come this week.
26:56
I am currently driving from last week
26:58
when we interviewed Simon.
27:00
We were on a film trip with Bloss the Heron,
27:06
the Food Awards and Backbarland and Ford.
27:10
I was driving the Ford Transit Courier
27:14
from Slagg all the way down to Galway and across
27:17
and I'll be taking that down to Dingleford Bloss
27:21
So looking forward to that.
27:24
This week after I come back from Micra,
27:26
it is we're doing some filming with ESBE cars
27:32
for the upcoming Nevo Electric Vehicle Show.
27:34
We're doing some filming with Paul Star on Wednesday
27:37
and then on Thursday it's off to Spain.
27:39
Again, with Citroen EC5 Aircross.
27:45
There's EC5 Aircross, yeah, EC5 Aircross.
27:48
The new Citroen with the beautiful green,
27:50
if you remember correctly,
27:51
we would have originally seen it at,
27:52
I think it was Brussels Motor Show.
27:54
So that is gonna be towards the end of this week.
27:57
So that'll be all featured on next week's podcast.
28:00
