I really admire what the country does to promote the future of transportation up there, clean renewable energy and charging infrastructure. I cannot say the same about my country (Belgium) which does so little... Well done Norway, you're showing the way!
The road to Berlevag has the most epic landscape I have ever visited. Vast tundra, extremely rugged terrain with sharp rocks, very different from rest of Norway. It looked almost like around the next corner would be a hideout of a villain from an action movie. Keep it up Bjorn!
Great video Bjørn as always. Don't think Fortum will run any risk by putting up those chargers. There's will be a hell of a lot of tourists from may to october with EV's, and the locals gets an incentive to buy EV's and the numbers will definately increase. It will also be so much easier to move around in the north with EV's with shortser charging stops
2 more things. 1st you should be part time food blogger bro 🥪 2nd you bring Norway closer to the people and should get an award by the tourist ministry. Keep on producing awesome sheeeeet man 💪⚡
Well done, very educational. We could do with your friend doing a site seeing tour around the UK in the hope of establishing more charging stations to make electric driving a more viable alternative.
Great Job! You really try to make the change yes! Well done to both of you! I wish it would happened the same in Greece! Wow day 2 and 3 are crazy drive! It will be interesting :) By the way maybe you can ask to charge during the ferry! Into the ferry!
Epic epic trip! You've got the office with the best views 😉. Fortum ambassador and private chauffeur. And trip is nice challenge for MC Hammer... SuperChargers are piece of cake. This is Nothern driving Millennium Falcon style!
again a nice video of you. many thanks. Please tell me something about the cost of the ferries ⛴. We're going on a tour of Scandinavia with the Tesla S in July. Maybe we'll meet you somewhere on the Supercharger. hence the question of the cost of ferries. Thanks and greetings from Germany.
Have you seen ferries with charging capabilities for EV? Could be a silly question, but ferries are rare in Eastern Canada, I think it would be a good use of the dwell time during sailing
I did a roadtrip through Norway the last three weeks. I managed with superchargers but needed some extra in Geiranger. Unfortunately that Fortum charger there just gave me 35 kw in stead of 50 kw. Some work to do if Fortum wants to compete with Tesla.
Really enjoy your videos Bjørn. I hope that you will find some solution to the drive camera that gets really blurry when your on the road. Its sad because i dont get to enjoy all the fantastic landscape.
Shame you couldn't plug it in on the ferry. Even at 240v 10amp you'd get a decent amount of charge while you were on the boat. Maybe that is the next thing for car ferries?
You miss the whole point here. This was a rare trip in no man's land. Most people with EVs don't carry any of these cables. You should subscribe to my channel to understand more about how EVs work in 2019 ;)
I'm wondering if the "charging system" was able to detect the heat (resistance) in the cables and automatically lowered the amperage/voltage for safety?
@@bjornnyland strange.... Love your videos but some of the audio drops over 50% in volume and clarity when you switch the camera around. What do you attribute that to?
The flat landscape looks like the scandinavian 'peneplan' , polished by icebergs movements that has given no remaining sediments, down to the 600 million years old base rock.
@@bjornnyland Yea I saw it. Just wondering about this. I'm owning a Model3 LR RWD EU Version and I thought my M3 only has three 16A converter. Maybe it splits 16A to one converter and 16A to another converter to handle 32A. But with this logic it maybe can also handle 3x16A=48A on 230V on a single phase. But very interesting.
geology window was nice. Just adding the ~50m elevation probably caused by uplift after the glacier receided some 10 000 of years ago. The uplift continues around Scandinavia at around 2 cm/year. Check this: www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/en/research/interesting-topics/land-uplift
Arrrr i am sensing some missing viking properties with Bjørn and the motion sickness. Or it was a allergy with that f. fossil boat, on an electric boat Bjørn would be fine. (; In just ja few years, Norway is banning everything fossil. Even the ships will all be gone! Norway FTW! Oh yea, i was hoping we go to Hammerfest finally. ^^ Tesla! Superchargers up north! V3 now!
I was referring to the superchargers in the last sentence, they are missing a lot of coverage up there, so Fortum is already on it. There is no sign that Tesla is too. So: Tesla! Superchargers v3 up north! Now!
I guess coal will be used for a while because you can not depend on wind if the turbines are idle part of the time. Great to see them looking to install chargers in the neck of the woods so to speak.
You have missed lots of videos where I explain things. Maybe you should catch all the important details? ;) When we first ordered Model 3, it was for wifey. Then we cancelled it because of free Roadster. And then we decided to sell Optimus Prime and buy MC Hammer. And then we also decided to buy a VW e-Up (not bought yet) as a secondary car shared between us. And one very important detail all this time is that wifey's driver's license is not valid in EU. It will take several months and about €3000 to get her a Norwegian license.
@@bjornnyland €3000!!!! For a driving license!!!!! That's robbery! Yes, I admit that I missed some of your videos. I will try to keep up with your videos during this summer vacations. I can hardly wait for you to get that VW e-Up and watch you talk about its specs.
I guess while driving in Norway you need to learn how to deal with unexpected things like moose, heaps of snow and especially trolls... It's all expensive.
@@KristoferOlsson Yes I understand. I live in Taiwan. I paid around 10€ for my driving license 7 years ago and it was delivered on the same day as the exam. Here we don't have deers that come suddenly to the road, but we have scooter riders that cut in without watching. The exams are rigorous as we expect 3 mistakes in the written exam and you are out to do it again, the same thing goes to the driving, 2 simple mistakes and you are out, one serious mistake and you are out.
+Charles Dalglish You obviously don't know much about EVs. We were in no man's land. Anyone can drive from Oslo to Rome or Madrid without bringing any cables. You should educate yourself.
Bjørn Nyland , Hi Bjorn. I have seen most of your videos, and enjoy and admire them. I have built 3 electric cars and now own the first Kona in Australia. Of course I charge at home off my own off grid Solar. However I do find waiting for a charge while going on a trip boring and I usually spend more in the shops while waiting, than I would buying fuel. It’s OK if you can sit there editing videos! I also am the first to rent an Ioniq from Thrifty in Christchurch and do a 1200 k trip round Queenstown. The Range anxiety and freezing conditions to make sure we get there is unforgettable. I do love out Kona, but why do I need 3 different adapters before venturing out? I am about to take a trip to Rockhampton in Queensland...should be interesting! If you give me your email, I will let you know how it goes. Keep up you good honest work, but I still say carrying all those cables indicates we are early adopters!
Charles, that remark is not very helpful. As @BN says, he's travelling in very remote areas. I travel with my i3 bev extensively in rural NSW, no DCRC, using everything from 10-15A to 30A with 5 pin, 3 ph AEVA std sockets, and CEE adapters to my NRGkick portable EVSE. Almost anywhere is AC chargeable, if you don't mind sitting watching @BN, @FCharged and @TEvolved vids. 😊
Catholic churches are usually well decorated because they use statues to help people visualise their spirituality whereas Protestants don't believe in using icons i.e. don't worship idols that you make, one of the 10 Commandments. But I like all churches. Plus the Catholic church has a lot of cash.
I wonder when will Fortum stop burning coal in my home town. I like their efforts with EVs, but as long as they poison the air with coal it's just double standards and greenwashing.
Bjorn and the Fortum Guy have the best jobs in the world. It’s so beautiful over there.
I really admire what the country does to promote the future of transportation up there, clean renewable energy and charging infrastructure. I cannot say the same about my country (Belgium) which does so little... Well done Norway, you're showing the way!
Well, what a great film. Great way to visit Norway from my sofa here in the UK while TB does a great job for climate change and EV ownership.
This is the true test for the juice booster. Love that piece of technology. 👍
The road to Berlevag has the most epic landscape I have ever visited. Vast tundra, extremely rugged terrain with sharp rocks, very different from rest of Norway. It looked almost like around the next corner would be a hideout of a villain from an action movie.

Love your videos and the way you help the ev community I purchased a chademo for my Tesla model s
Well done Bjorn! Maybe you can get a Fortum jacket for the cold days.
Bjorn! It is looking like Fortum needs an ambassador. Maybe on a contract basis?
If you start feeling sea sick, look out towards the horizon. Keep staring at it until you feel better. Your equilibrium will return.
2 more things. 1st you should be part time food blogger bro 🥪 2nd you bring Norway closer to the people and should get an award by the tourist ministry. Keep on producing awesome sheeeeet man 💪⚡
What a great trip with an important mission. Looking forward to the coming videos from this trip.
Well done, very educational. We could do with your friend doing a site seeing tour around the UK in the hope of establishing more charging stations to make electric driving a more viable alternative.
Well done Bjorn for making EV charging available for rural communities and well done Fortum. Any chance you can do a road trip over to Britain 🇬🇧??
Great Job! You really try to make the change yes! Well done to both of you! I wish it would happened the same in Greece!
Wow day 2 and 3 are crazy drive! It will be interesting :)
By the way maybe you can ask to charge during the ferry! Into the ferry!
That cable can handle a minimum of 70 degrees C. Not to worry. And the plugs are the old standard for industrial plugs.
Not taking the risk even though it's low risk. And as mentioned, I didn't want to finish charging too quick anyways for several reasons.
Epic epic trip! You've got the office with the best views 😉. Fortum ambassador and private chauffeur.
And trip is nice challenge for MC Hammer... SuperChargers are piece of cake. This is Nothern driving Millennium Falcon style!
Kamskjell is scallops on english
What a great road trip with purpose.
Really looking forward to the next instalments
Looking forward to see al the places I've been on my trips to the Finmark. (Lakselv, Hammerfest, Alta, Honnigsvag, Nordkapp, etc).
Fortum didnt show up. There is now one 32 amp type 2 charger, free of charge in Vardø. At a local Thai Restaurant. Welcome Bjørn :)
Often called Hauge socket or just only "industrial socket" Very common in pre 1990s workshops where the demand was for greater than 16A Current.
We have similar in the Netherlands, 380V AC 3phase. You can even have it installed at home.
Those old sockets are banned from new installation, at least in Sweden. Have to use CEE instead.
only 300km south from Utsjoki to northmost 50kw charger in Finland :D
That blue and red sockets over in the UK are called Commando sockets :)

Awesome, build them fast, plan to drive to North Cape in 2020 from Germany :-)
In another video they said that almost all of them will be finished this year.
Finnmark is AMAZING! I definitely need a trip to Norway one day!
Have you seen ferries with charging capabilities for EV? Could be a silly question, but ferries are rare in Eastern Canada, I think it would be a good use of the dwell time during sailing
Bjørn, the 500V 40A plug is only the maximum it can handle. It is connected to 32A/40A fuse on three phase 220V. :)
Didn't know you knew Michael Fassbender Bjorn.
It’s a shame Ferries and Car carrying ships like the one you were on don’t offer charging while on board.
I did a roadtrip through Norway the last three weeks. I managed with superchargers but needed some extra in Geiranger. Unfortunately that Fortum charger there just gave me 35 kw in stead of 50 kw. Some work to do if Fortum wants to compete with Tesla.
Low SoC on a 75 pack? Then you get only 35 kW.
With 85-100 kWh pack at >50 % SoC, you'll get 45-48 kW.
I wasn't low on SOC. As a see even a bit high with my Model 3. Cannot upload it a picture. sorry
Model 3 has issues on 50 kW chargers. I have it too. In good conditions, I get 50 kW on my Model 3.
Really enjoy your videos Bjørn. I hope that you will find some solution to the drive camera that gets really blurry when your on the road. Its sad because i dont get to enjoy all the fantastic landscape.
Too hard because:
- Tires are not always perfectly balanced
- Road is bumpy
Ah! Im too used to car shows making it work. I guess they have some super expensive stand with gyro and stabilizers. Keep up the great work :)
Its already fixed. MC Hammer has new tires that are better balanced. Look for the last live stream.
The new Nokian Hakka Black 2 tires are now unbalanced after a trip to Germany.
Fortum needs a real Ninja to travel fossilefree before the charging network is up ;)
So much road noise! Sheeeeeeet!
"I was bjorn ready"
wow, really good trip video!
You should not exceed 50psi (3.45 bar) cold tyre pressure. That is the max recommended from most tyre manufactures.
This was temporary.
Bjørn, you are not a seafarer ;) But, beautiful videos, exceptionally good work :-).
great vid
Wow that’s really cool. A ferry with a car elevator.
Shame you couldn't plug it in on the ferry. Even at 240v 10amp you'd get a decent amount of charge while you were on the boat. Maybe that is the next thing for car ferries?
+Brad Collins Not allowed.
probably the most northern tesla in the world
I believe there is atleast one Tesla on Svalbard. The downside is that the local powerplant is more or less 100% coal.
There are about 60 Teslas in the Finnmark county.
Amazing video
Good trip Nice to see
Wow! So many friggin cables!!! It kinda kills the whole EV craze
It'll take a good decade for standardising and mainstreaming
You miss the whole point here. This was a rare trip in no man's land. Most people with EVs don't carry any of these cables. You should subscribe to my channel to understand more about how EVs work in 2019 ;)
Ole makes jokes like Bjorn.... good shiiiit.
Bjorn get's to drive the scenic route home ;P
I'm wondering if the "charging system" was able to detect the heat (resistance) in the cables and automatically lowered the amperage/voltage for safety?
+John B The car might have detected voltage drop.
Really old sockets in the "workshop", I think those are banned from new installation.
Danke,super Video
Beautiful trip. Should have a few charging stations on the Ferry to just to top up EV's, and add additional income to the boat! Awesome video.
Great to see you purchased a lapel 🎤

45 km per hour is awful slow on 32 amp three phase. My Zoe gets 70 per hour on 16 amp three phase, and 150 on 32 amp 3 phase. (22KW)
I'm only pulling one phase from it. And you're comparing with 400 V 3-phase.
You should start playing laggy VR-games, then you`ll get immune to motion sickness! :)
How can you charge with 32 Amps? I thought the EU Model 3 can only handle 16 Amps up to three phases..
