Hi everyone 😊 Bjorn is the best EL car tester on TH-cam. I used to drive this Road many times, I was living in Norefjell and Noresund for 3,5 years🎉 I Wish the best for All od you Viliam from Slovakia 😊😊
looks like nice weather there. winter is finally pounding us with some snow. fire advisory all winter. can finally say i'm an EV driver. bought a 2023 bolt euv premier, fully loaded with hands free super cruise. nice riding car. only use home charging, as every where we go is within return range. thank you for all you do to promote ev's.
e-UP! driver here. (2018 facelift 18kwh) The charging curve is always like that, starts at 45kW and drops to 39 after 30sec. I also know these handshake issues, mostly on ionity tritium chargers. I recently did a 500km trip at -4°C to 2°C degrees, didn't rapid gate at all but on my first stop at Tesla it stopped after a minute. I had no problems with Tesla before.
Omg Astra Electric Sports Tourer! Yes please! I was waiting for you to do that car. All the other tests I could find were BS. I need trustworthy data. Please do as many tests as you can 🤩
This video is properly crazy, I was just thinking about how i very rarely see bad driver clips from you and boom the VW van cuts you off, then you show the stone chip in the window, which we've just experienced this week on our car that we've had for 13 years and never had that happen before. It's also in the exact same location on the drivers side, right next to the black border and with a solid 25cm crack going through it. The simulation is breaking down hehe
Great video as usual! I had the pleasure of a 400km road trip with our recently purchased 2017 Nissan Leaf. -5C Temps and a 40 km headwind made for a fun trip! 6 charge stops to get home...meanwhile my wife had our Ioniq5 and had a very comfy ride home after dropping me off to pick up the "new" car!!! 😂😂😂😂 In Canada we do not have the selection of EV's that you do, that Opel looks pretty nice and the E Up looks like a great around town car! Anyway - Cheers! Mike and Ally 🍁 🇨🇦
Man, you drive like a million kilometers a year. Perfectly normal to get some stone chips, especially with the winter road conditions in Norway. Btw love the videos and all the data you provide. Best of luck!
1 million km per year would be 2700 km per day. If I sleep 8 hours per day, I only have 16 hours left to drive. That means an average speed of 169 km/h including charging stops.
The 2nd E up type I was driving was lying about charging speed. In specs it says 42kw speed but it reached just 32 kw. I drove it from new to 100.000 km. Degradation of the battery: 30.5 kWh til 28.1 kwh. 50/50 Acdc
One awesome dude. Thanks for this drop. Isabel is really growing up man. All the best. BTW, are you going to get the BYD ATTO 3 or revisit the Ioniq 5?
It will be great to see Mini Cooper SE degradation test and compare the CATL vs Samsung batteries. No one in youtube ever did degradation test on mini…
BMW i3 is with different battey, but they share same drivetrain with the Mini, and sience we have a lot of tests with the i3, it will be intersting to see how the Mini performs after 4 years! @@ExperienceCN
E-up is the perfect “second” car. I used mine (2nd gen.) for all my short trips (less than 100km), which is the majority of the km I drive during the year. For longer road trips I use my bigger ICE car, I don't like to spend a couple of extra hours charging on a trip that takes 6-8 hour by itself, so a EV isn't an alternative for my “main” car just yet.
2nd generation of e-up with the higher capacity rapidgates as well as coldgates ALWAYS. Getting anything above 30 kW charging power only happens in a very narrow range 15 to 25%. Above 35% it charges below 30 kW and above 50% below 25 kW. It is SO SLOW. SSSSLLLOOOOOWWWWWW. And it hates winter. Coldgate is much worse than rapidgate. But the car either coldgates, or rapidgates. I got it to charge with 34kW just once. In summer. Under ideal conditions. For about 2 minutes.
My e-up! gen2 is also very slow to charge the few times I try to DC charge it. Is there a software update available? How can I check which version that's installed in the car?
@@justinholding02I did not know that, but in any case, at least the traction accumulator will have a longer life when it charges like a snail even on fast chargers. I use the car in the city and occasional trips just 50 km out of city, so charging is usually from around 40% to about 80%, sometimes I even just "top up" from 75% to 90% when I have the charger available and go shopping at the same time. Once every two or three months I discharge the accumulator down to about 15% to 20% and charge the car really slow on AC to 100% to balance out the cells. Thinking of it, I never did it in 2024 yet.
Stone chips come from your own car in many cases. This could be the case here. Stones are often thrown forward, and when they hit the ground they can bounce up and slow down and you literally drive into the stone your car just threw forward. I am sure there are youtube videos proving just that. Battery temperature of up to 40C, what a pity when it is cold outside that it isn't possible to cool the battery and heat the car with that same energy. Also about battery temperature, I hope you will repeat this test in the summer, the hottest day you can find. This is surely not a car made for long distance, but in this test, it only stayed below 40 because it was so cold outside. The battery will obviously lose or gain energy from the ambient temperature, but not very fast. It does make a difference, though whether it is -5 or +35 C outside. Ask me how I know, I have a Skoda CitiGo e iV from 2020 (with the newer larger battery, I think around 32 kWh net). I did a 1200 km road trip (and 1200 km back, two weeks later), and it is clear that after around 500 km, it really becomes an issue. I had DC charging down to only 8kW, when the car was only 2/3 charged or so. Our Skoda, which is quite similar to this, is a joy to drive, and we really like it. In the cities and mountains it really shines. We had a Tesla Model S for 5 years, before this Skoda. A few things that annoy me, though, is something like setting the charging target: There is no setting in the car to set "charge to 90%" or whatever, it will keep charging to 100% whether AC or DC charging, UNLESS you place a scheduled charging some time in the future (can be 10 years from now), where you say charge to MINIMUM 90%. It works, but it is kind of silly that you cannot just set it in the car, or in the phone.
Highly unlikely in this case since I was only on highways. Tires pick up gravel from smaller roads and in residential areas where they don't salt the roads. The major highways are salted and not sanded/put gravel on.
@@bjornnyland , I cannot find any reference now, but I remember reading (a long time ago) in an article, how a lot of stone chips coming from your own tire. The stones in the tires can likely be stuck in the tire at lower speeds, then when you later on drive at higher speeds, the stones get flung out by centrifugal forces. If the stones are propelled forwards, they can bounce up and hit your own car. I have had stone chips in my windscreen, even when no other cars were around. It does happen, but most likely not in your case, and most likely, only for a small minority of stone chips.

Out Of Spec Reviews is also very good!
I can just imagine Marcus's reaction when told about the windscreen 😂😂
You should install Osram LED bulbs of you buy it... They work directly without CAN-bus issues and you will have much better light at night
looks like nice weather there.
winter is finally pounding us with some snow. fire advisory all winter.
can finally say i'm an EV driver.
bought a 2023 bolt euv premier, fully loaded with hands free super cruise.
nice riding car.
only use home charging, as every where we go is within return range.
thank you for all you do to promote ev's.

Congratulations in all your accomplishments, you are a good father ✌🏼
Heated windscreens are more vulnerable, each small pebble can cause damage.

ID7 needs e-Up's mighty horn sound, not the weak beep beep😂
Isabel is so sweet. Great video as usual, looking forward your review of the Astra. Looks much nicer than I expected. Stellantis ftw.
Drove by your new house TB. It is massive!!! Almost like you are compensating for something 😂
One awesome dude. Thanks for this drop. Isabel is really growing up man. All the best. BTW, are you going to get the BYD ATTO 3 or revisit the Ioniq 5?
Same front window issue happened last week with my company car. A stone hit the window near the edge which causes a 20cm crack.
Love these cheap EV, low-range videos. Popcorn time..
Type 2 discharge 😂
7:56. Rest room. But… did he “rapid gate”?! ;-).
@@smartelectriccar😂
For the handshake issues you need to update the charger software
It will be great to see Mini Cooper SE degradation test and compare the CATL vs Samsung batteries. No one in youtube ever did degradation test on mini…
There are two different batteries for the the mini? I don’t think so.

So Norwegian always replaced the windscreen. right?

@@erikziak1249 if you give me your VIN I can check for you
with the air conditioner turned off gives extra range in this car.
That's true, but then the front windows will fog up very soon if there is only a bit humidity in the car.

No
I think stone chips in your windshield also can come from your own tires, as being thrown forward and you drive into flying stones.
Great car! The V2 is better.
