to be precise its actually 3,900km Oslo - North Cape and back. Better to have Björn doing a good test then 5-10 journalists just driving around the city ;). Too bad his MG is in Thailand otherwise he could have used that one.
This trip reminds me on my own trip, about 15 years ago. We was driving from ger/south, to the lofoten. This county touched my heart from the beginning of the trip. The calm county, the calm people, the beautiful nature... After this trip i´ve wanted to live there, but was scared somehow. Now i know i have to be there again! Norway - i miss you :-) Thx for reminding me!
I can’t remember if I already commented to say this... but my partner and I drove a Zoe from Paris to and around Norway and back again because of his videos 😜 Zoe didn’t have many 43kw fast chargers though 😭
best way to enjoy the combo of driving with the beauty of norway without having the guilt of harming the environment... great work dude...keep it up...!!!!!!
Sawadee Krab Bjorn !! What an amazing views ! Thank you for your patience and effort to record all the trip! The roads reminds me a good old student days in early 90s. We’ve made the same trip even to Vardo and Vadso, with our first car Citroen Visa 1,7D :))) D for diesel :)) Nowadays I’m travelling only Ev for last 7 years so hopefully we can make a trip to Nordkapp soon via Oslo for saying Hello to You ....:) Kind regards and please don’t stop your nice and valuable videos !! Thank you Darek from Poland ( smart ed and Tesla model s) owner...
Hi Bjørn, if the visual content of your videos wasn't great already, I would still watch just for the great music ! Thank you for your content! All the best from Switzerland.
I love your videos. You are one of my go too TH-camrs now. I am beginning a channel for disabled drivers promoting EVs and I have to chose a new car this year. It will be an EV of course. Maybe we could do an interview with you at some stage? I also love that you chose the MG instead of the longer range cars.
Amazing. I'm waiting for my e-2008 to be delivered to me. I don't usually travel much, but your videos are going to make me change my mind. Thank you, keep it up.
Wonderful scenery. When I've been to Norway it's usually just around Oslo. I must be braver and travel more of your Country . You have so many chargers in Norway. Not so good here in the UK.
I drove from Brum to the Nordkapp and back in my shitty old Toyota mate. Norway is incredible. You must drive the E39 all along the coast. Up around Alesund is amazing and Geiranger. Then the north. Its just so wild up there and i never went to Lofoten! Think that is where I'm headed in 2021.
Thanks for the video Bjorn. Just out of curiosity do you think MG might include a digital cluster in the next iteration of the ZS? Not sure about the analogue dials!
That was great to watch. Just wondering, with the software update on the MG did they change the hardware of the infotainment unit so it's not as laggy?
Just love the guitar music at the beginning - sounds like SRV (it isn't is it?). If the MG was fitted with a battery that was 25% to 30% bigger, it would be a killer. That mandolin music is PDG too.
Hej Bjørn. Hvordan kan du se hvor meget bilen lades op med? Jeg kan ikke se det i instrumentbrættet ?? - Hilsen en der ivrigt ser dine teste med stor glæde. Hej fra Danmark :)
What are next test car ? Opel Corsa-E , Aiways U5 or Polestar 2. Thanks for this nice roadtrip video to show how good it works with a cheap Ev with 44.5 Kwh battery and that it works good with long trips.
Very beautiful views. Thanks for share again your trips. Also very nice spots to camp. Are they secure? You never had any problem? Also the police does not bother for camping... 8-)
As long as it's a suitable spot for camping, then you actually have the right to camp. It's called "allemannsretten" in Norway. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam
You suggested to ban fossil motorcycle. I would ask how about if it is not possible to ban polluting motorcycles banning at least aftermarket noise enhancering modifications very popular on some motorcycles? I am referring to making noisier Harley Davidson for example with aftermarket exhaust system.
Great video and test. One question I got to you, after driving for such a big road trip. What can you say about the seats? I read in a long terme test, that the testers were complaining about the seats, they got bakcache and are missing a lumbar support.
Note to Bjørn. If you want to test well used Second Hand Cars to put to bed battery degregration nonsense then my Ionic is at your disposal. A race between the Ionic 5 and classic perhaps?
Bjorn, you said in a recent MG video the adaptive cruise uses friction brakes instead of regen, is that still the case if regen is set to maximum before switching on the cruise? Great music to an entertaining video btw 👍
I wish there was still a ferry connection from the UK to Bergen as I’d love to make a long trip like this (and numerous others) in my Kona electric. Testament to Norway’s charging infrastructure that a trip to the Arctic isn’t an issue.
On the way back from my North Cape trip in a 5 year old classic Ionic with 135k on the clock! Much easier since Ishavsveien have put in brand new 175/50 Twin CCS ( with Chademo and AC connectors). You really dont need cars with 800km ranges. Its just as easy with cheaper “ short range vehicles” so long as the infrastructure is there. Then electric motoring will be just as simple as ICE motoring only cleaner, less tiring and MUCH cheaper!
That was just for the short video recording to block the sun. Otherwise the video would be pretty crap. But don't worry. I took it off right after the recording. No humans were harmed in the making of the video!
Hello. being watching your great videos for some time, and alot of likes.:) Bjørn Nyland can you or someone live in Norway in the comment help me with something please. Today I was with my family in a carshop in Bergen, we were ordering a blue ZSEV, I think the price is 259890, for luxery, then the seller said we could get the winter wheels, but then we need to pay 283000 kr, my family quickly became scared about the price and droped the order....After my research you can just buy after market winter wheels for 1000kr each, maybe 1200. so is this the cheaper and reliable solution? ( I think the money of 283000kr come with both wheel hub and wheel.) well in winter we only need to change wheels right? we don't need to buy extra wheel hub. (17inch), am I right? also an other thing, the car seller recommended a kasko insurance, which again scared away us. So I told my family we can just buy the ansvarforsikring (the obligatory one), which is a lot cheaper, I think on gjensidige.no it's like 350 kr per month. Would u recommend us doing this for a brand new car? In my family I have good driving skill, pretty much can avoid any crash or accident so I don't feel I really need a kasko. But one of my family member is still learning to drive. They are hesitating about this insurance thing, the price stopped us buying the car lol. I don't think a tree branch is gonna fall on my car accidently, or it's gonna be on fire one day, if other people crash into me and it's not my responsbility, then their insurance company will pay the damage of my car, right? Since I'm pretty sure I'm a good driver and will help my family member become good driver, I don't really think I'm paying 1000 kr monthly for the kasko. or do you or any people think this is wrong logic? thank you so much.
From what I understand, the reason for the steep price on the extra set of tires is that you're buying the tires + rims (wheel hub) with pressure sensors, I'm sure you could find these a bit cheaper somewhere else, so you'd have until it starts snowing to figure that out, seeing as you live in Bergen that would be around January, (though I would change them sooner) ;) I would always have full kasko on a brand new car. Question, did you have to pay extra for the blue color?
Problem is that eTron is so damn thirsty and there's no >50 kW charger north of Trondheim yet. Though the drive might be comfortable, you'd get mighty annoyed by the smaller cars getting there faster, by a good margin... Abetterrouteplanner.com Oslo->Nordkapp
@@bjornnyland sorry I should have been clearer, I meant from a comfort/refinement point of view. Great video as always and looking forward to the other parts :-)
@@jaz4280 yeah no doubt it's quicker in the MG for that particular journey. Right now even the MG is more than double what I can afford. But I think I'll look at a used ioniq electric in a couple of years time when they're within my budget!
I've written this before. It would be so interesting to see a trip with your MG from Thailand to Norway. What do you think? Would it be possible to travel the loading infrastructure through India, Pakistan, Iran and Turkey?

Yeah. Bjorns videos made me come to Norway and if it wasn't for beer virus I would be coming again this year.
MG gets an new press car
Bjørn: “Can i do a test drive?“
MG: „Sure ....“
Bjørn Returns Car with 10.000 km ...
to be precise its actually 3,900km Oslo - North Cape and back. Better to have Björn doing a good test then 5-10 journalists just driving around the city ;). Too bad his MG is in Thailand otherwise he could have used that one.
Great Helga
His tests do give him a better idea of the car, the more you drive it the more you get to know its specific quirks etc. Funny comment nonetheless :D
Does it have the updated software and reduced "bongs"?
Yes.
Great road trip, his MG test made me change my 40kw Zoe for a MG
Your channel is like the perfect promotion for electric vehicles and Norway. 10/10
Just bought this car, nice to hear a positive review and that it is capable of doing a trip like this 😀
Fantastic video mate, magic country side
What a pleasure to enjoy another of your road trip videos ! And what a beautiful country ! Thanks to let us enjoy :)

Loved this leg of the trip: beautiful scenery, good food, and a leisurely pace and attitude make it so relaxing to watch.
Love this roadtrips, you live in a beautiful country!

I had always wondered what NordKapp looked like - you saved me the trouble of a very long road trip.
Dude... You should go yourself. Its an amazing trip. Have you looked on a world map and seen just how far north it is up there?
It's worth the trip, I'd say. It's a pretty nice journey. Plan more stops than Bjørn, though,
Ooh, Cirkle K Nidarvoll! My favorite charging spot!
Bjorn, thats amazing driving through the night and it is still in daylight, it is dark about 2230 here in the U.K. and light about 0330
Loving these Roadtrip videos!
Hi should I get the MG or leaf+ (I live in Australia) heat could be a problem for leaf
Nice one Tesla Bjørn, been following you for a while. First time I'm commenting here. Thanks for the effort man, lovely video
hi bjorn, when are you releasing the video about consumption and noise test of the mg52 rims?
Stilig! Skal nedgradere fra Modell 3 til MG. Hva kom kostnaden på t/r? ☺️
Amazing trip
The new road through Nordland has been rebuilt for billions and still is under construction.. Very nice
Fabulous scenery
Thanks for the video Bjorn. Just out of curiosity do you think MG might include a digital cluster in the next iteration of the ZS? Not sure about the analogue dials!
That was great to watch.
Just wondering, with the software update on the MG did they change the hardware of the infotainment unit so it's not as laggy?
Just love the guitar music at the beginning - sounds like SRV (it isn't is it?). If the MG was fitted with a battery that was 25% to 30% bigger, it would be a killer. That mandolin music is PDG too.
It's the one and only 'Beer and Music' by Mr. Hai Le. Probably Bjørn's most famous soundtrack: th-cam.com/video/qwWZf9_3ex4/w-d-xo.html
Love my MG ZS EV great price and value. Who needs to spend more?
Ah okay, you dit this trip already with model 3, I didn’t know that, still a interesting test ✋✋👍👍
thanks, saya suka nonton video vlog ini :))
"The ICE CHARGER!!!" lol
Hej Bjørn. Hvordan kan du se hvor meget bilen lades op med? Jeg kan ikke se det i instrumentbrættet ?? - Hilsen en der ivrigt ser dine teste med stor glæde. Hej fra Danmark :)
Nice view and the car😍
Q. Bjorn, did you find the MG seats 💺 a) more comfortable or b) less comftable than MC Hammer for this road trip?
What are next test car ? Opel Corsa-E , Aiways U5 or Polestar 2.
Thanks for this nice roadtrip video to show how good it works with a cheap Ev with 44.5 Kwh battery and that it works good with long trips.
Beautiful landscape, bad jokes and messy hair - thats Tesla Björn how we know him ;)
The new real life test 4000km in 4 days. Hammer and charge !
But it took 6 days :)
Very beautiful views. Thanks for share again your trips. Also very nice spots to camp. Are they secure? You never had any problem? Also the police does not bother for camping... 8-)

MG Hammer 🔨⚡️🤩
Charging break!!
29:40 What's up with the dude waving the Norwegian flag, is he trying to get potential customers to stop at his shop?
He is one of Bjørns subscribers, he was watching the live stream, and wanted to make a fun moment.
Björn, I have thinking about driving from sthlm to nordkapp, but I wonder how much you have to pay for parking or is there any fee for go to norskapp?
30:17 MC Hammer: "what's up dude, I miss you"
I want an MG now
what's up with those ramps on the highway? closure due construction/maintenance?
You no longer get unlimited free charging from Fortum?
Roadtrip with Bjørn
Hello Björn. Great first video. Do you drive on the road "E6" or can you advise this road to travel to northcape? Best wishes from germany
Ive driven my bmwi3 From Karmøy to Hammerfest 2 times. No problem:) for me that is 240 mil. ITS a Nice trio!
For guys who are confused: Norwegians call 10 km = 1 mil
So 240 mil is 2400 km.
Again! Like Road Trip video , ohhhh yesss !
"We're gonna go to Fauske, it's a city" - Technically, sure. :p In reality, it's two roundabouts and a phallic stone sculpture.
MG Bjørn for the win!!! 😁

They are superb. I didn't have any problems after 4200 km trip.
@@bjornnyland thanks for the fast answer.
"There and back again" - I see what you did there
When running the aircon at night did you use much battery ?
When you camp and the MG is on is it fully 'on' or in 'auxiliary' mode? I understand it continues to drain the 12v battery in auxiliary.
It's fully on and 12 V is being charged.
@@bjornnyland thanks Bjørn
Note to Bjørn. If you want to test well used Second Hand Cars to put to bed battery degregration nonsense then my Ionic is at your disposal. A race between the Ionic 5 and classic perhaps?

Topp og følge dine tester👍
What's Bjorn's current ranking on EVs he likes?
7:15 poor guy in a Toyota Mirai
Geass Sogeki A conversion is probably not too difficult 😄
Great car
