My wife and I have a 2019&2020 Classic ioniq and we love them! I call them the all electric Hyundai Prius/Wind knife.,. I'm so glad I informed myself and didn't get a Leaf. :-)
Hope you find a good Soul, and you can get that extra house note paid back so you can buy the curtains and asphalt, etc. Good luck! Keep putting up videos and I’ll do my part and keep watching! 👍
Thanks. Love your content!
Thank you :)
I have a 2015 soul with 115k km on the odometer. Range has fallen through the floor this year and this winter range is only ~60-70km with city driving (max 70km/h). Just reporting my experience.
I completely follow your reasoning Bjørn, and the Soul will deliver great videos with loads of views I am sure so it will pay for it self. Things will go your way!! 🤜🤛
In the UK, you can't get a Soul EV for as little as £3,800 (50k kr). Seems like a good buy. Only option is Leaf 24kWh at the moment, or Zoe 22kWh with battery lease. All those people out there calling for Chademo chargers to be phased out should remember that for people with limited funds, Leaf is still one of the best options for an EV that's a proper car rather than a moped that looks like a car.
Cheap. I checked Swedish "Blocket" for one, and they start at 119000SEK ($11600, or 9100 GBP), and that is a 2016 with 18500 mil ( ~115000 miles.) edit: I thought you wrote you could get one in UK for 3800 :) sorry.
Is anyone calling for that, or just warning that it's a dying standard and to prefer a CCS over Chademo.
@@davidspencer7254 I've heard some commentators (not on this channel) claiming that new Chademo charger installations are a waste of time. I beg to differ; Chademo will be needed by hundreds of EV drivers at the lower end of the EV market for at least the next 5-10 years in UK. Leaf 2 is becoming much cheaper now on used market so will remain a popular choice for people who need a cheap commuter EV.
@@decimal1815saw a NEW fast charger going in and it had 3 CCS and a Chademo and this is in Canada where Tesla has ONE supercharger in my city in total plus the "pet the can" electric highway has a Chadamo and 3 CCS cords
The Zoe ZE50 is a bargain right now at around £10k, small, efficient and big battery
Small contribution to the best EV TH-camr
Thank you :)
Today, I drove my Volvo XC40 from Moss to Svinesund and back home again, in average of -18 - -26 centigrades without any trouble 😌 Consumed: 320Wh/km 😅 I’m blessed with a battery big enough than a old Soul 🥵
Ok so I watched the ENTIRE video this time. And I do understand the logic behind the decision. As a previous Soul 27kwh owner, I loved the instant heating, heated steering wheel, and the feeling of actually sitting up in the car. But trust me when I say that the rear trunk is way to small. If you can fold back some seats then ok. If not you might soon find yourself driving an extra trip when shopping with wifey.
If I recall correctly, the Soul 27kwh was announced up to 250km on a single charge. When I picked up the car at +8 degree celsius the range was showing 180km. After several years and 120.000km, the range was below 120km at freezing point. And it normally does not get that much more colder in Rogaland.
I know you have an EV-image to keep, but have you considered to temporary buy a fossil car as backup?
Tack!
Takk skal du ha :)
Serious comment....
The value of Souls will rise now after Bjorn has spoken 😂
Just had my first rapid charging test with Shell Recharge on a 27kWh Soul - reported speeds of over 60kW for the first 1/3 of a ~15 minute session.
105,000 miles / 168,000 km on the odometer from the first owner, but the extra space and enough to ride on my 25 mile commute in winter makes everything I need doable, even if the battery has degraded a bit (recent SOH from August claims 88%)
It feels like a ~16kWh in winter so far - if I could change the battery to 30kWh I would be happy, but not necessary yet
*27 kWh
🤦
@@bjornnyland yes I was typing while 'multitasking' - edited now lol
Classic Ioniq (28kWh) all the way, thanks to your old Ioniq winter roadtrip videos - which I just rewatched out of nostalgia 😎😁
It is STILL an absolutely amazing car especially when it is fully equipped: lots of safety features, great cabin and trunk space (HATCHBACK!!! Model 3 go hole!) ample range, nice amenities and superb fast charging. But yes, the price of the 1st gen Ioniq also ranges between 15k-20k euros in Austria too, depending on the extra equipment and the milage. However, as Bjørn said in the older videos, it is still a great EV for the money.
But alas, I completely understand the financial decision for the Soul, plus the space and the charging options with Chademo also make a lot of sense. 😊
Köszönjük!
Thank you :)
The Jessheim Chamber of Commerce should provide you with a Hongqi for showing the beauty of their town.
You may be able to get a Renault Zoe with no battery lease, bigger range, and more recent than that Soul, here in the UK, a R90 is around 6500, the R110 sits at around 9k, and the r135 is as low as 11k. It's bigger than the leaf etc. But, not sure what the market is like there. Good luck either way, we love your videos, so do what you need
No thanks. Zoe is no good for me.
@@bjornnylandHi Bjorn, thoroughly enjoy your videos BTW, in case I missed your reasoning… why is the Zoe no good for you? I’ve had an early 2013 model for nearly a year now and its so much better than I thought it would be, the boot (trunk) is deceptively cavernous and the range is ok (120km winter & 140km summer) & if you can find a 50kw AC charger it will charge @ 43kw, these are available in the UK now for around 4-5kGBP battery owned
Recently upgraded my 2013 ZOE 22 kWh to a Ioniq 28 kWh, and boy what a difference, like night and day. ZOE is just not feasible for longer trips, 200 km was already a struggle sometimes. Only AC charging is just really useless, especially when it sometimes refuses to charge due to “not trusting” the electricity supply. Now with Ioniq we’ve done multiple 500-600km trips without any issues, thanks to the super fast charging and high efficiency.
Although oddly enough I (and my wife) both liked the ZOE better as a city car, the Ioniq is the superior long range car. Hoping the brand-sibling Kia Soul will work out for you, Björn!
The scenery in this video is just, * chef's kiss *
Our 2016 with a replaced battery (thanks Kia) is a great little car, serves much of our driving needs.
Love this series. Very interesting with used EVs.
How is the 40 kWh Zoe priced in Norway? I think it will offer fantastic range but of course only type 2 “fast-charging”. Which I guess is why it could also be quite cheap. I actually think it is roomier than it looks.
I've had one and it's actually quite roomier than what it looks. I went camping with 4 people, two tents etc on it and it fitted without issues.
My personal choice of an EV without fastcharging would be the Mercedes B 250 e Electric Drive. Very comfortable and roomy. To bad it has high consumption and no fast charging abilities, but s very nice car to drive.
Used Zoe's are 50-60' NOK and up.
(4-4.5' gbp and up).
Zoe is a flawed car for the norwegian market since it is incompatible with the local power grid in most peoples homes, and will refuse to charge, requireing a large and very expensive adapter. Check out IT vs TN power networks and the Zoe if you want details
I like your low budget buying videos!
Just curious, are your videos your primary work? If so, that’s fantastic!
Yes
@@bjornnylandCongrats!!
Lots of good points here. Most people can't afford new cars, so looking at the used market is actually very relevant for most people. It's also the right time, as early EVs are now getting into affordable territory even for folks on a tight budget (and these are the folks who benefit most from good consumer advice). Its actually pretty nauseating how most auto journalists pretend that reviewing super expensive new cars (and given gifts etc by the automakers for doing so) is somehow "useful advice" for normal people... its close to being a scam. Looking at the used market, or very affordable cars is much more relevant. Keep it up Bjorn.
it's usualy not the brand (automaker) itself, who lends cars to these journalists
I feel you. I'm in a financial situation where I need to think how much capital I can or want to put into a car, which is a stupid ass investment anyway because of depreciation. Times change and maybe some day we all are able to focus on nice cars more. Until then, let's drive rational ones.
Depends of course, If you drive a lot for your work. Than Driving a efficient EV will make you money.
@@Owsryudie from all the money you spend on cars, the depreciation of the car is the most expensive part of it. You never save money by investing it on more expensive car, even if you don't pay for the energy at all.
@@Owsryudieindeed, I make 2k+ a year thanks to my Ioniq. Every kilometer I make is about 80% profit.
Three years ago you taught me what I needed to know so I could make a good decision buying a factory new EV to replace our ICE car. Now I’m in the market for a second car, an EV of course, for short local trips. Your recent videos about the used market couldn’t have come at a better time! Prices in Sweden are much higher than in Norway for same cars you’re looking at unfortunately. Wonder why, I’ll keep watching!
Because in Norway when you buy electric car you don’t pay 21 % tax green power 💪💪💪
That’s what I figured. Prices here were much higher when the cars were new, follows that they still are when used. Thanks
Wow, so many roundabouts in Jessheim.
What about a MUXSAN battery extender for the Leaf, maybe too expensive ?
I remember the heyday of Kia Björn. I look forward to videos with a vintage Soul!
I'm glad you made a video about what's going on in your life :)
I'm just amazed at how many EVs I'm seeing on the road with you haha
Good space as in banana-boxes in Soul, but I struggeled with the stroller.. The same stroller that went straight in the Leaf-boot. The Soul was not high enough for the stroller to stand up, and not wide enough for it to lay as far as I remember..
So before you buy a Soul, test the stroller you plan on using..
Loved listening to your logic and look forward to seing the Kia Soul you actually buy.
Here in Germany exactly the same with the cables on the V4 chargers. They fall out of the holder. The jack does not hold the heavy cable. Hope Tesla improves soon.
Whilst you dont like the i3, everyone I know that has them absolutely loves them.
Yeah, I'm one of those that have the i3s 120Ah 42kWh version and I love it to the moon ❤ but I think the problem Björn has is he can't buy the 42 kWh battery version with 50-70k NOK so he would have to buy the 60 Ah version with high mileage. As he tested one and the battery and charging speed aren't anymore on the level that it was new he says it's shit. My car charges 45 kW from 10% to 50 kW at 88% and then starts to drop and has double the energy of the 60 Ah version...
I don't get why Björn hates it so much, yeah the door situation is clumsy in tight spaces but otherwise the car is brilliant.
Truth be told, it's not the car for everyone. And with one kid and another on the way I totally get that one wouldn't consider an i3. Personally, I love it to bits and am deeply saddened that BMW didn't make a direct replacement.
Yeah off course it's not for everyone! If it would be then there wouldn't be any other cars to choose from, but I don't understand the hate that he has towards the i3, but I think it's against the smallest battery version that has also degraded to under 80% of new, not at least the biggest. With the 42 kWh, the i3 is much faster f.ex in the new 500 km challenge than e-golf or old leaf...
@@SRWorksLtd Could be true, my car is also a 42 kWh and its degradation is absolutely minimal/not noticeable after 4 years. But in fairness, the newer 42 kWh are much, much more expensive.
I just bought a 2018 Soul EV with the 30kw battery that was just replaced in a recall. It gives me 160-190 kms of range. It is a very nice car, no regrets, and it is almost free to drive (7x cheaper than gas). If the battery ever gets bad out of warranty, I'd consider finding a donor in a scrapyard. These seems cheap enough and easy to replace?
Please do another used EV overview with buying recommendations and more tips!
Regarding the start of the video, I've read that the new Tesla chargers are causing people trouble in the cold, because the cable becomes so stiff and cumbersome, that it can be hard to plug it in or put it back in the holder (plus, they're heavy). Some design changes might be a good idea.
Nope
@@bjornnyland Please do elaborate, as a simple nope isn't an argument one way or the other.
Rubber gets stiff in the cold either way. Probably not worth to put a heating element inside the cable that draws power 24/7 in winter just because.
@@ramunasgudauskas7582 Part of the issue, at least according to the article I read, is that on the new Tesla chargers there's nothing to suspend the longer and heavier cable. You have to lift/drag the entire cable by hand, which is not something all users find very easy to do.
I generally like Tesla's minimalist design of their chargers. When building such an extensive charging network, it only makes sense to save cost and complexity that way. But here, it might not be working as well as it should.
Hi from Italy. Great video as always and good catches. I know that for now it’s out of your radar but I’ll wait for some Leaf 40kwh degradation tests, they are are starting to age and as far as I can see here in italy they tend to depreciate a lot. On the other hand it’s also a popular car and the used market is full of them so those video may help people decide.
I am selling the cheapest 40kWh Tekna in wonderful brown metallic in Europe with propilot park! for 11900€ with 153.000km on clock at the moment. Battery has 83% left and about 31,5kWh (37,5kWh new). 22mV difference and its a 2019. All fine.
Charging speed on a Soul is good for 2016! Can testify holds around 63kw until around 75%
Interesting, that’s exactly on par with Ioniq 28 kWh - do they share the same pack and chemistry?
I have a 2016 Kia Soul. Fantastically versatile car. I just picked up 600L of Wood and threw it in the boot!! (60L x 10) AMAZING!
We have 3 kids that have grown up in it. Still have plenty of shoulder width and space. Yes the boot space is a weak point, but we have still managed to fit everything in.
We've used it on some rather epic trips in its time (Oslo --> southern Denmark via sweden...the long way) , just last autumn we took it to Haugesund.
Right now it's got about 85k on the odo which is low for age, but the SOH degradation is still inline with most other 2016 Soul's ca. 25% :( .
Last summer we had about 135 or real range and now in winter we get 90 - 100km. Fast Charging speed is still good, we get 45kw/h. Top ups are really efficient when we take it on long trips.
The Soul is awesomely practical as a family car. It's so comfortable with all the goodies you get (kid friendly 'leather' seats, boxy and wide interior, fast warming the cabin, heated seats, decent electrics with carplay, android auto etc)
Of course the tragic part of the post is that it has depreciated in value so much.
Great input and explanation! Hope you find a suitable Soul!
I just swapped my 18 plate 30kwh soul for a 18 plate 40kwh leaf a few weeks ago. Its only a commuter car doing 16 mile round city trips. Although the leaf has a lot more tech and is more nippy(its a tekna) I'm already missing the soul. There were far too many niggles starting to appear on the soul though. Few switches just breaking (most notably the handbrake switch), a failed seat heating system and intermittent check EV system warning on dash. It had done 50k miles so thought I would get rid...I am missing it though. Such a quirky car throughout although let down by not having app access to pre heat or even the option to set timer to pre heat unless the car is plugged in charging.
You never mentioned a Zoe to compare to, I'm curious why? Other than the size obviously
I visited an older SC with my previous car (had CCS) I thought I did something wrong when the cable kept falling to ground. Good to know it wasn't me 😅
I would like an ionic for the low consumption. However, the e2008 is very comfortable. They should change the laws that make it legal to change the battery to one with a higher energy density. Thinking of running old ionic with 60 or 80 kwh? Technology advances and the batteries don't have to weigh more than the older ones?
In Poland and Romania they swap battery's to higher density.
I've watched a few videos from a TH-camr in Calgary with a Kona. Much bigger battery than the Soul, but it does seem to cope well with the cold as he has done several road trips in winter.
Looking forward to se all uppcoming soul videos!
Here in Sweden 27kWh Soul costs over 100k sek. So its i big difference in price although our countries are neighbors.
@@danielstefanovic2604Highly disagree on that, it's still very much worth it here. I've saved half the price I paid for my electric car in two years in fuel costs alone.
I'm hoping for some battery refresh service or third party replacement for the old soul evs, maybe put in ccs as well. Apart from battery and chademo soul is still such a nice car
Not sure if it's worth it. Once battery gives up, the rest of the car will start to fail, particularly bodywork. Probably best just to charge on AC and use the Soul as a short distance EV? For such a small battery under 20kWh remaining capacity, AC charging is fine for people who can charge at home or at work in a few hours. Replacement battery will be nearly as much as the car is worth when labour costs are included?
@@decimal1815 I doubt rest of bodywork will fail immediately. We have a 8 year old soul and zero issues with bodywork. I've seen 5k EUR used 30kwh batteries being sold... I would invest 6k for a refurbed or replacement battery. Of course not 12-15k, but 5-6k why not
Hey, Björn. A lot of people in Sweden is getting 97kW with E-GMP 800v cars on Tesla V3 chargers. Maby something to look in to! Thank you for your work!
They're lucky. In the UK it's 42kW on the V4 supercharger, with 800v (IONIQ5). 😢
@@danielstefanovic2604 Clearly it's bad. Tesla have opened up their charger network, which is a net good for the EV community. Not fully supporting fast charging (250kW) on their superchargers means a poor exeperience for me, and a longer wait for a Tesla or other car while it trickle charges.
Tesla will unlock 350kw charging on V4 in the not too distant future as its software locked at the moment as Europe doesn’t have any 800v Cyber Trucks at present.
@@alancobbin Oh that's useful to know, thanks. I know some Tesla owners aren't happy about the network being opened up, but here in the UK it is a big boost to areas without the (non-Tesla) rapid charging infrastructure, as well as - hopefully - promoting some much needed price competition.
@@rayamos1398sorry I won’t give Elon 1 cent. Anything but Elon..
Looking forward to Soul videos 👍👍👍
I dont know if it falls in your budget but The 30kWh version of the Soul is a better car because better battery chemistry with less degradation plus another 10%range.
Too expensive
Triplet does atleast not rapidgate like the Leaf
This was such a nice driving video, i almost forgot to listen to the talk. 🙂
Appreciate the insight into used market over there in Norway.
Jealous of the price comparison of 70k Nok vs USD here in Amurica (US of A).
Was surprised to see no Android Auto or Apple Carplay.
Here my 2015 Soul EV was updated to have Apple Carplay and Android Auto (can use ABRP on the 8-inch Soul Entertainment screen)
-Soul EV has 110,500 miles (roughly 177,000 km) and currently at dealer for Battery recall (Battery replacement after the 100k mile warranty expired)
3 EV Household currently (other vehicles being 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV Premier & 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro) (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for consistent navigation/in-car entertainment across the 3 vehicles)*
I like how grounded you are. Love from germany \o/
The best car that suits your needs. My daughter is now 9 she can sit in the front with me. Suddenly a normal 5 seater is OK even with new baby coming and we don't need a follow nanny like before, but eventually I will need a bigger car for the whole family trips
Good desession to continue with the Soul 🚙 😄
Which "eagle" car are you referring too in your video..over and over again?
chademo would be a showstopper for me. but if you want to sell it after one year it should still be ok.
btw is there a working chademo-ccs adapter?
You can google it. The Chinese have invented one adapter, but it is very expensive.
Could it be that the Supercharger cable becomes hard during the winter, which means that it does not stay in place?
No
Not sure if I made a big mistake but I traded in my 2017 Ioniq for a 2024 Kona. Love the Kona so far, much better than my wife’s 2023 Kona.
You should make a video like this for recommending cars for different price tags up to 750k!
Used 27kWh Soul EV is about 78,500 kr (£6k) in UK. Popular EV..
In Sweden you have to double that even for high mileage cars.
60000 NOK is about 5300 euro. That’s really cheap. I found a 27KWh e soul for 12000 euro online (8000 euro after getting a subsidy for a second hand car). (Netherlands)
If you short of capital why not lease a car and release your capital to pay down debt. Also what about a ice car, quick to fuel.
Ice car would be great ... if he wasn't a semi-public internet personality. I mean imagine the comments... and THE SUN.
(EV promoter drives a fossil car 🌞📰)
I think the Soul would make some good content 👍
Lots of round-a-bouts instead of traffic lights...nice.
why he doesnt like the 500e now i watched his range test and he didnt something that bad and i didnt see something wrong too ??
***
EDIT
FROM WHAT i see he didnt like the older version
The old version is shitty. The new one is way better.
@@bjornnylandThanks so much for that clarification! I was quite confused because your 2-year-old video of the 500e was entitled „me wants it“ 😅. I guess the current generation 500e is just too expensive (or too small) to be considered?!
You realy should consider the vw eup 2020 model 200km range in the winter
Is not cheap enough! Why people don't understanding that?
Too expensive
and uses less than 1kWh in the summer :O The VW Up is actually quite big, even if it looks big (edit: small) on the outside. I drove a Mini Cooper EV for a while, and it was smaller than the VW Up inside.
What about ZOE 40?
Too expensive. Shitty space. Shitty interior. Shitty charging.
@@bjornnylandThat’s a shitty comment!😊
Why not Zoe? I understand you tried to list all the options but definitely feels like that one was missing from your list. Get over 100km in Swedish winter easily in my 10-year-old Zoe.
Nope
@@bjornnyland Can you please explain at least why that is?
I can help you out there, I think. The Zoe has AC only charging, and is very picky about grounding issues. Which means sometimes (usually when it’s least convenient) it will refuse to charge. Or stop halfway through a session. And the software is too dumb to auto resume charging or retry at a lower charge rate. So you end up having to find another charger that it hopefully likes. At some point you get used to it like I did, I owned one for 5 years and it was a great car overall for the money and for what I needed it for. But in 2024 I can understand you don’t want to put up with Zoe’s BS anymore, it’s just not worth the trouble when you can get a car with proper DCFC. I have an Ioniq 28 kWh now and it is vastly superior. Like alien technology 😂
@@philipk89 Ah, so that's the issues I was having. Well thank you for solving that at least. And it does actually auto-resume, one time it did it for over an hour continously, think it was 40+ attempts in the logs I could see, enough so that it actually managed to charge itself up. But it of course depends on the charger, some will stop the session automatically and then the car can't retry either.
I was thinking that it was better just since there are so many more AC 22kW and 43kW chargers than ChadeMO, but in that case I fully understand why he feels that way.
I'm not really having big issues though, it works well for me here in northern Sweden.
IMHO the SOUL is the BEST choice and a GREAT "platform" for a first EV and will allow you to show the world buying a CHEAP EV is not a nightmare like a lot of "internet know it alls" claim
Unfortunately there are really not so many BEV options with a small budget.
Maybe here a 20 year old fossil car for a really low price would be not that bad for some time when you don't drive so many kilometers and it often parks for a week.
Not sexy, but maybe good.
Björn, like me, also azian man, just buy the Soul and you don't need to explain everything. Just tell us it's the best deal for your money!
Please talk the i3 down more! It's a total shit box!
This way, it will be cheaper when I buy mine next year when the lease ends. (Best car ever for our use case, which is city driving for 2 ppl)
EV prices in Norway are so good! In my area these cars would be double the price(actually!)
How about the 30kwh Soul? I heard the chemistry is much better. Probably also too expensive.
And also you never mention the ZE01 Leaf 2018+ with 40kwh. I imagine that would be much better than Frankenstein but probably also too much money...
Anyway, fingers crossed you find a good one!
*30 kWh
And no. Too expensive.
We have a 2020 e-Up! (32,3 kWh) and i can say, if you fold the seats, it has real big cargo space! And it makes fun since it is small and efficient. Has CCS 40 kW but as 1st gen Up! only 3,7 kW … no heat pump… no nice infotainment and navigation :/
I do also think that Soul makes sense.
I can't fold the seats since my wife and child will be in the backseats...
@@bjornnyland and ZOE is only able to fold at once, not 2/3 1/3 … shiiiiieeeet. Looking forward to seeing your new Soul :-)
@@wedrive-derblogfurelektrom2899Only newer 1st-gen Zoe and 2nd-gen Zoe can do that
Hello
When is the xpower videos coming out? Il very curious about your review. I'm really impressed with the stats and battery technology
What are you interested in about XPower? Range? Acceleration?
@@bjornnyland overall review and 1000 km test
Ok
@@bjornnyland I found your live channel, I see you did it. But it's really cold. I will watch it anyway.
On the cheap side, plz do Livi'n with the Norwegian OG's; Think & Buddy!!1
I've had my Soul since i bought it in 2015. Best buy I ever made, but now the battery is dying. I have 65KM fully charged. :/
what about those 2(?) cars Tesla should owe you?
Couldn't just downgrade to have a M3 rwd right away? Or, a check for 1/2, 1/3 of the value of one of those cars?
I think you should stick with frankenstein, a soul is not enough of an improvement to make changing worthwhile, yes you'll have to charge more but you're very good at that. Seeing you manage with the leaf would be good content to show how you can live with low range, also save you the money. If you need to go further, hire the millennium falcon back. Save up for ionic
No
Sriver for en venn: jeg har byttet til 40kwh i min 2014 Leaf, og det fungerer veldig bra. Rekkevidden er 150 km på de kaldeste dagene, og 250km under gunstige forhold. Ladehastighet har i følge min oversikt fra Mer.no ligget på 34-40kwh i det siste. Nå skal det sies at jeg stort sett lader hjemme, da den daglige pendlingen er 130 km. Angående godkjenning/vekt: 30 kg er vel ikke stort mer enn Ecoflow veier? Eller om du har en sub-kasse i bagasjerommet? Er ikke mulig å se forskjell på batteriene, så hvis du ikke forteller til noen, går det nok bra. Coldgate kan jeg ikke si at jeg opplever.
Have you considered a MG ZS ev? The first type. We have one and have done 67000 trouble free miles. Great size for you. Summer range 150. Winter range 110
Too expensive
I'm waiting for a cheaper 2019 e-Soul, but maybe a 2017 Soul 30KWh would be enough.... 🙂
Hey Bjorn, how much are 40kWh Leafs over there? Love your adventures in them.
7:00 Easy solution: TB can sell his option getting the T Roadster from a bonus program for a sh*t load of money. One for („nearly“) free - remains at least one for Sunday driving. Y not?!
No
We bought a 2015 Soul 27kWh for a year ago just for city drive mostly. Many of the old models 2015/2016 have got new(refurbished) battery due to low SOH, and with a new-ish battery you will have a car that will work for many years.. The price is actually the same for a car with a new or old battery. We paid 80k NOK
The prices have gone up for the Souls with replaced battery pack last year in Norway.
Why do you hate 500e? Seems like a OK car from the specs.
Bad consumption on highway, but thats the case for most small cars
No DC fast charging. Only 5 kW on-board charger. Plastic fantastic interior. Very poor space. No navigation.
Think it was one of the reimported california models without DC charging. Very different from the european sold Fiat 500e.
What? It has CCS and normal 16A single-phase charger@@bjornnyland
ahhh ok well that explains it@@markushetzmannseder7748
I believe there is some confusion here about the 500e because Bjørn was referring to the old version (video 5 years ago), not the new version (video 2 years ago) as he explained in another comment. That‘s always a problem when you have more than one generation of a car with the same name…
My 2019 Soul limited had much more comfortable seats then my 2020 Soul EV limited and was quieter.
So, why don't you buy a Classic Ioniq? 😁
No, sorry - it's unbelieveable that people don't get the limitations and needs.
Great video as always.
To expensive!
The Soul is a good choice after hearing your explanation,Did you say your doing Plaid 1000km challenge tonight?
I think he is doing the 1000 km.challenge with the 430 bhp.MG4 XPower tonight.
@@larsenpetterhe done it Thursday night with the MG4 XPower,tonight was going to possibly be the plaid re-test with the new model 3 highland hopefully next Saturday.
når man har hus er det fint med en bil som har hengerfeste. Kanskje du bør kjøpe en bensin eller diesel bil :)
Nope
ZOE why not?
Too small, bad charging.
Smart for four will maybe fit for you (for two is way too small for your fam.). BUT it has only AC with max 22 kW charging speed and an 17,6 kWh Battery, so its not an Option.
are OG ioniqs seriously that expensive in Norway? 😅 wow. i work in Hyundai service center in CZ and i work on electrics as well. OG ioniqs are great little cars but if it's that pricy, well. 😁
Is Ioniq over 10k eur in Norway?
at 0:14, I see a v4 charger lying on the ground, potentially crushed when a careless driver drives over it.... People are bad, everywhere it is the same, they will destroy anything that is not theirs. That is why we need wireless charging for public chargers.
TB, what about Leaf 2018+, is it out of the budget?
Yes, it costs 120k+.
As used classic Ioniq driver, I have to say that it is insane to think about price difference between used classic Ionic and old Soul in contrast with 1,2+ mio EUR house. I would rather spend 200 000 Eur less on that expensive villa then worried about 10 000 Eur for the used car (or do not have glass wall in the shower)...just saying...
Press a 👍 on the vid to get it a few NOK closer to that ioniq.
Btw have you considered an ioniq?
Too expensive. Already mentioned in this video.
@@bjornnyland Yes I know.
Just messing around with the thumbnail. Cheers.
