You were at the wrong place for the Espa-buns.. You passed Espa at about the 54:00 min mark, while driving along Mjøsa. :)
1:16 those are barracks for workes when they work in road projects, or building new roads etc. And the plugs is for powering the barracks.
Really makes me want to visit Norway! Love the electric ferries so cool.
Norway has beautiful scenery...
1:09 hehe those are temporary buildings for construction personell. Looks like it's the Public Roads Administration who set those up.
I'm now saving up for my EV thanks to your channel 🙏
Thanks for the part 3! Some of what you said in the video is not correct though, but we can't expect you to know everything. I think you mistook Trondheim for Tromsø, A city 700 miles further north. Also, you were at the wrong place for the espa buns. You actually drove right passed it (its at a shell gas station), and they are open 24/7. Last but not least, you didn't really make a round trip of southern Norway, since you skipped the whole southern part including the towns of Sandefjord, Tønsberg, Arendal, Lillesand, Kristiansand, Mandal, Egersund, Sandnes, Stavanger, and Haugesund. Hope you will be back one day, and also visit these places.
Why did you feel the. Need to correct everything he said or did?’
No ones perfect !
During summer holiday and in weekends there are often lot of cars at the superchargers, and you have to wait in line. Thats mostly on the non-Tesla chargers. If you watch som of Bjørns most recent videos; when he not driving Tesla, you will see at lot more traffic on the superchargers. Nice videos, and welcome back to Norway!
1:01:10 yes, you can charge both on the same time.
Kempower can have up to 16 satellite post connected to one charger, with up to 480kW per charger. The charger split the power between the connected EVs, and it also support prioritizing.
The prioritizing is intended to be used at a bus depot.
I was about to comment on part 2 of this series about the lack of vehicles at the fast chargers. You are absolutely right. Here in Norway you simply do not have an EV and not a homecharger. I would say that more than 9/10 EV owners have home charging. Also, compared to the US we drive pretty short distances to work and other daily activities. There arent that many places in Norway where the speed limit is above 80kmt/h. These things combined reduces the need for fast charging. Norwegians are well known for their love for skiing and having cabins way up in the mountains. So the fast chargers are definately nice to have for the skiing season. You might even say they are a must, as it gets pretty cold here during the winter. The temperature can easily crawl down to 20-30 below 0 (Celsius), which eats pretty drastically into range and efficiency. Anyways, loved the vids! Nice work!!
Thanks for this video. Nice to see people visiting our region.
Such beautiful Scenery thank you for showing us the strip in Norway my goodness a lot of us will never make it this is wonderful to view
Off the back of this series, I've booked 2 weeks off work and will do a Norway Road Trip this December. Hopefully the weather isn't too cold/snowy.
If you see a UK registered Model S looking lost and holding up traffic, that'll be me! 😂
Do you have winter tires? In december you need winter tires by law to drive in Norway. Other than that, drive on, on the right side of the road!
@@RuneVenes I was about to ask the same question
No, but getting some fitted. I understand I need at least 4mm grip, too! I've been doing some research! I've driven on the right (wrong!) side plenty, it's just driving on snow/ice that I don't have huge experience with.
That, and hoping the Dutch will let us through, given their COVID rules. We're both double vaccinated.
@@m1geo Also keep in mind that many mountain crossings close for the winter, either periodically depending on weather, or for the whole season. So some/many of the scenic routes featured in this vid may not be available to you in december. This includes Trollstigen, as far as I know.
@@spamus598 yes, I'd already seen that Trollsteigen closes. I assumed I'd be able to park near and enjoy the views! I guess I'll need to go back in the summer, too! But thanks for the warning! 👍 All input appreciated.
I really enjoy your channel, it just keeps getting better. You have changed my mind about EVs over the past year or so. :)
I love your road trips. Thanks for creating and sharing.
It's so nice watching you drive through Romsdalen. We own a summer-house not far from Trollstigen and we do love it there. Bluebird is not something we see every day, but the scenery is something else out there!
Absolutely fantastic! In true spirit of TeslaBjorn road trip-style video.
Great tour thanks.
Norway my home country, what a awesome road trip. Im soon getting my Model Y, cant wait to drive around Norway
The reason it is so little traffic is that the season is over, max season is late June to late August. That is the warmest and the the period with the most sunlight. Now from october you can risk snow in the mountains...
Most people home charge with 7.4 or 11 kWh in Norway, the schuko is kindof "emergency charging".
But as you say in superchargers we have in Norway, there are a lot of them :-) And people can drive for many, many hours, even over mountains and with a heavy foot, AC set at 22C and you can drive for so long... And then you need a break and just charge while you eat somewhere.
In June 2020 it was the year of waterfalls and snow in the mountains, crazy👍🇳🇴😁
Awesome road trip. Would love to see a map of where you went - Planning a similar trip for our honeymoon!
Very cool too see pictures from such a great TH-camr enjoying views from my home district Møre og Romsdal. 31:18 - 32:40
Norway is scenic. I wish that I was privileged enough to drive on that road.
hehehe, rental cabins? heheh nah mate. its workmans office/breakroom/cantina. The they are mostly rentals, BUT not you and me, hehe.. They are called "brakke" basically a wooden container in module systems. turlet too :)
Trollstigen means Trolls Ladder :) not Troll road. Trolls are a norwegian folklore.
Great trip, too bad you didn't have more time. Those long night drives missing all the scenery must have been maddening. The Northern Lights you were in too much light pollution from that street light. Guessing the Norwegian Rozzers were heading off looking for Mr Hammer Time perhaps. ;) Norway is all about the journey not the destination so slow down and enjoy the views and stop often to learn the culture, history, food, & people very much like bicycle touring which is the best way to travel.
44:40 Maximum allowed for EV charging on regular "schuko" outlets in Norway is 10A / 2.3 kW. At least half the EV owners here get a wallbox with between 3.6 - 11 kW though. Home charging is around 1 NOK/kWh while fastcharging is usually 3 to 6 NOK/kWh.
wallbox you can have from 3,6 - 22 KW in Norway, but you have to have 400V at home.
Me and my friend did shred my Polestar2 up and down Trollstigen this autumn. No issues with heat or regen:D
Love this video and journey. You should have been more south and experienced the coast to Skagerak. Live your videos and most your knowledge.
Fantastic video!
You missed the Atlantic Road 😢
When you came out of the undersea tunnel to Molde, you should have gone left not right.
Espa is 30 km away from Nebbenes and is open 24 hours.
You excluded also the most southern part of Norway. Kristiansand, Stavanger etc....
In the weekends the superchargers is crammed, so you guys had luck
Takk for noen gode videoer, fant dem siden jeg tenker på å kjøpe en Tesla Y.
Trondheim er ikke en gang midt i Norge, Nord Norge starter 350 km lenger nord. Det er Ca 1600 km til Nordkapp fra Trondheim
😂 Du gikk glipp av mange perler på turen din i sør Norge, men fikk med deg mange av perlene, bl.a Trollstigen 🇳🇴
Hey Kyle love your videos! Can you create a vid describing your thoughts around tesla's supercharger new pricing tier (the 4 tier system)
I'm with Allissa, let's get some food 😋 😂
That white e-tron in the end was Kris Rifa's old car.
Nice video series. MIC TMY charging speed is not great, unfortunately. LG battery does not like fast charging, but hopefully it charges approximately as good in the winter as in summer temperatures.
yep, it's the reason.. I am waiting eagerly to see if the Y P from germany comes with new battery :)
very good audio soundtracks
Crazy what an iPhone can deliver
I think Alyssa (Sp?) is not a fan of you filming her. I get it:)
What an amazing whirlwind trip though. I’m with her and would stop at every waterfall and other body of water on this trip. Would probably take twice as long. Love it!
There are CCS to Tesla adapters on ebay for like $650+. That's one hell of an expensive adapter. Don't accidentally leave it at the charging station haha.
Oh no.. you drove past the Espa place. It’s a gas station a while before Nebbenes supercharge when you are coming from the north.
Do you know what they call the big plastic bags that lies many places on the fields
THE TROLLS LUNCH PACK 😲🤣🤣
With greetings from Denmark from a man who loves Norway
I can especially recommend to you
The Norwegian fjords,,, Geiranger fjorden and Auerland fjorden
37:33 defo not true, in Sweden the northernmost city is Kiruna and I seem to remember that Hammerfest is the world’s northernmost city. If you’re talking about large cities, both Umeå and Luleå can probably be classified as such (and maybe also Vasa in Finland).
Hammerfest is a town, not a city.
By=town
Storby=city
In the US the a City is at least 50000 inhabitants. By this definition, Trondheim is the northern most city in Norway.
@@MichaelEricMenk Tromsø, which is a lot further north, is 75-80 000. Bodø 55-ish.
Oulu has 200k, Rovaniemi 60k and they both are much further north than Trondheim. But Tromsø is even further up.
Hey Kyle as you are coming to Italy, if you are going to be in Bologna (or nearby) I would like to get in touch with you as you made me become passioned with ev! Anyway hanx fo your videos!
How did you go to Norway since it seems mostly locked down? Do you have family in Norway or some exception?
Can you tell me Which of the Tesla’s ride the best which of the Tesla’s handle the best because I probably will only be able to buy one. I seriously would like to not get something that is rough riding or has a rough suspension. I know that we need handling but it also must be easy on the body. I will be driving from California to Florida 3 times a year. My family is there. Thank You I thought I wanted a model y because I really like the Hatch and a little bit Larger Car but I just heard they are stiff and well a bit rougher so I want a lovely riding car. What do you recommend. For Best smooth Riding Tesla
Why do you get Farris, if you are not into fizzy water?!
I can't understand why they have so many supercharger stalls everywhere. Main season for tourists in Norway starts in June, but I cannot imagine that even 1/3 of those stalls people are using at the same time
Do Teslas in the US have a different plug?
Nice
What a pretty country
"Trondheim far north".. Yeah.. You are not even half way up Norway at this point 😂
While people are impressed with Norway's charging infrastructure, there's a reason. Norway's government taxes the hell out of gas which is currently $8/gallon. You'd have to be crazy to not own an EV there.
Same in Sweden.... Insane
Charging is slow because this is a Chinese Model Y with the LG battery.
Great video, music a little loud, thanks.
45:00 I could imagine Tesla starting with just 5 units per site, and growing when demand rises. Seeing 24 unused units doesn't make sense to me.
This is low season. In July they are full :-)
Your slow charging experience is caused by the LG battery pack we get in Europe from Tesla. They are crazy slow compared to Panasonic.
I really enjoy your videos and wonder if you have ever run a comparison between EV's and Gas cars over the same trip. Specifically, the amount of time and distance from point "a" to "b" using the direct route of a gas powered car versus the route and time and detours required to charge the batteries of an EV car. Where I live (NC USA) the chargers are few and far between, and a non Tesla car can not use the supercharger network, a real disadvantage.
Care to comment please? Thanks
I know TeslaBjørn did a Kia Ceed hybrid test. Did it count as a comparison? He's kept it at the standard 1000km test.
And I've misread your comment. I think the difference in USA is you'll need to standardise the charger heads and also to bring a little sanity to the subscription plans etc. It's pretty much like when the first PCs came out and people didn't use MS-DOS yet, it's better to standardise.
That Road looks Dangerous, too many curves, and you definitely have to watch out for upcoming traffic!
This white e-tron in the show room at 1:05:21 is the one Marcus sells for Kris. This was the first EV Kris had.
Find it weird that some of those 2 lane backroads don't have center lines.
Center lane disappears when the road might be too narrow to pass oncoming traffic.
44:43 7,2kW is more normal charing speed at home, with a ESEV
Kyle. Be honest. You are given the choice between the model Y or the. VWid4 for that drive. Which would you take?
Do you ever think Kyle isn’t honest about his opinions? He also said either car does the job well enough to not matter much for this trip
@@OutofSpecMotoring ok. I drove the ID4. Based on some of the reviews by Kyle and others. It felt like a nice Honda Odyssey. Mini van like.
@1:13 No, i don't believe those "cabins" are for rent, it is for workers working a Long way from home. Usually constructors.! We have better cabins for rent i norway then that 😂👍👍
For someone coming from Colorado, Norwegian mountains aren`t that high I guess. Galdhøpiggen, our highest mountain peak, is only 2469 meters (8098 feet). If fun driving is your thing, I highly recommend Mazda MX-5 :-)
Touristseason needs a lot chargers.
did you meet up with bjorn
"The signs have the letters jumbled.." walks by the sign that says please wear a mask. It's only when it's crowded though.
Do you know what they call the big plastic bags with hay lieing on the fields
THE TROLLS LUNCH PACK 😲🤣🤣
With greetings from Denmark from a man who loves Norway and who especially likes the Norwegian fjords Geiranger fjorden and Auerland fjorden starting from the idylich town Gudvangen ,,
What’s insane about driving an ev in Norway with the best ev infrastructure?!
what a nice trip dude, show us your location on a map next time, and what time of the year you are filming ???
Looks like September.
Or maybe late August. I believe the first ship carrying Tesla Model Y came to Norway in August.
Faaantastik musik!!
So how can US used car buyers of Tesla’s know if they are getting a 2021 with Chinese Batteries in an expedited delivery Model # or the Good Ol originals batteries🔋❓
It says F on the VIN number for models made in Fremont. You'll need to see the number the. The letter before the F says the year starting with A for 2008 (you can count..)
@@randreas69 Thanks. Did they change the VIN if all they used were the Chinese Batteries❓
@@garyclark6747 I'll bet you that's the law, I'm not sure what it says on the Chinese autos. The Berlin factory hasn't shipped anything yet, that's why I keep my eyes peeled. I have an OCD to look closely at old Model S's with the facia since I've learned how to look up the year model in front of the letter F (for Fremont). Watch this space when both Austin and Berlin has revved up and the prices need to come down.. (/$0.02)
@@randreas69 I hear Chinese batteries are in the Y’s and 3’s showing up in Norway and UK 🇬🇧 soon. Early charging experiences aren’t looking so good. That’s what prompted my question on how to know. I’m ok with China having their own batteries but littering the world with them will be Tesla’s black eye I fear. China VIN starts with a L but US Tesla’s with Chinese batteries probably won’t be known by their VIN I’m afraid.
@@garyclark6747 Sorry, I've tried to explain that the 11th letter is the place of the plant, F for Fremont and C for China. The L means Long range. I'll bet the charging curve for LFPs has been lowly set by the software as an abundance of caution, perhaps with an update it's going to increase. The only way to know is to actually own a Tesla.
I'm one minute in and asking why am I watching a 1 hour video of someone else's vacation?
Trollstigen in 2021, it's nothing compared to 1980s or 1090s😁
Brrrcock😂
Are you for real have you never travelled did you notvthinkmto check out the road laws before driving, about fixing way to vehicles etc.
First
Wow, and you're - what? - 5 years old? Cool boy 👌🏾
Second
Being the first commenter doesn't count when you have nothing to say.
Apologize personal question
very good scenes good vidio SEE ROAD TRIP1966
Trollstigen = Troll Path
No, Troll ladder.
@@MichaelEricMenk Really? Isn't "stig" a path in Norwegian? Otherwise it would be "stege".
@@NoWay23548
Stigen = the ladder
Stien = the path
Take a look at 23:32 and you'll see the word for path.
The Norse word stíga is related to sti, but this word is a VERB, not a noun.
@@MichaelEricMenk Interesting, I thought otherwise. Thanks.
A climbing path can also be called stigen some places for example Maristigen by Rjukan.
Would be an OK video and review, if only you didn’t talk SO much.
Let us enjoy the scenery and not hear your jabbering ALL THE TIME.
You have a beautiful wife/girlfriend, but she is acting as she is so bored.
When filming, she should be off the phone and enjoying life.
Just my 2 cents.
You were at the wrong place. Espa buns was around 54:00 🥐
