Living in Australia Bjorn, It is amazing to see all those new high capacity chargers on your travels. We are a long way behind with our electric charger roll out, down here in Australia.
Looks like some mild coldgating. In my EQA I pretty consistently get between 110 and 114kW around 20-40%. But that's in Germany at higher speeds, and with the car picking out most chargers (and thus preheating reliably).
@@RedBatteryHead I'm looking at specifically the 60kwh, what are some examples that come to mind? I'm aware that the MG zs ev could be a contender, but I will bend far to try not to support China directly (can of worms, I know, and many issues that make it difficult to always be on the right side of that)
An interesting thing is iX3 and Polestar both had a much better time in winter - faster charging maybe and bigger batteries must help, as EQA consumption was similar or lower. (Also, a bug in the spreadsheet for Tesla 3 SR: Temp interval and Temp average doesen't compute.)
Ioniq 5 and the EV6 do indeed Coldgate. However, it has already been confirmed to Carmaniac that there will be an update to pre heat the battery when navigating to a HPC.
Why does Kampower and others install only 120kw chargers instead of 300kw? Is this common in Norway or specific to some regions? Over here, new stalls usually have 300kw - more and more charging hubs with 12-50 charge points are build. But still lots to do 🙋♂️ PS: Thank you gor your great work! I watch a video of you every day 💚
@@bjornnyland you are right, but Ioniq5, EV6, etron, tycan and others are in the 200+ range. So The predominant chargers are 300 kw Alpitronic here also to increase accepance because many newbees get upset if their car does not reach max. possible charging speed
So the first charging stop came after 240km. 100% to 8%. That is aweful in perfect highway conditions. That is half of what Mercedes claims. New standards for range must happen. What if a fossil fuel car declared 1l/10km highway and in fact it was double that...
That's exactly what happens if you do a 1000km challenge with a fossil just driving city stop and go traffic. With an EV you get much better consumption than WLTP in this case. That's just the way this works. Range is an average, obtained from some standard driving cycle. I agree that for EVs the only range that matters is motorway range. Range/consumption for EVs should be evaluated at 120kph/15 degrees Celsius. However, range is only part of the equation. You really want to know average speed including charging. Anything above 95kph is close enough to fossil speed as to make no real difference.
Did I sense some sarcasm in your video? (Weather, food!) 😜😜 Man, cost of fuel is crazy there! Around 2€ per litre?? 😱😱 ABC!! Always blame Covid!! 😂 is Sweden worse again too with Omicron?
Bjorn, Any of your Mercedes contacts can confirm if that sound proofing is also applied/improved on the EQA250 or just to the more expensive 350? Thinking about swapping my wife’s e-Golf for an EQA…
I can't imagine you regretting it! I came from a GTE and the EQA is a nice upgrade. The main weakness is the low seating height (or high floor) for the rear seat. But it's fine unless you're using it as a taxi ;-)
I hope so. I ordered one with delivery Q3, would love to see how it handle long trips. But I will mostly use it in a 100km radius. It is the Lux model with the bigger battery pack
The consumption of the Mercedes with 27 kWh per 100 km is WAY higher than any Tesla and NOT acceptable in these days, don't you think so? So HOW does Mercedes justify this inefficient use of electrical energy?
Bjørn, why don't you do a "best car award" based on categories, such as premium, standard, small car for all that came out in 2021? Type årets bil opplegg ala "Bjørn"
Yes, I would like to see the LFP SR+ in a 1000 km challenge 😊 Who would say no to that 🤔😀
+1 I want to see that.
+1 . LFP SR+ FTW!
And a side by side comparison with the Tesla M3 SR+ 2020, just to see the improvements on the 2021 LFP version.
Me too!!
+1
You have to test the Dacia Spring ;) 1000km of course :D

Sad but true :( outside of the cities of all 50kw chargers and not even many of them
Some PHEV are a good compromise. Especially if taking the manufacturing emissions into account.

Scanned the QR but it still works :D 89% 59 kWh, if your press it I can see the charging curve. Cool stuff!
Dont forget that the Mercedes Me Rfdi lets you charge at almost all stations. A Big Plus for Mercedes.
The Kempower session is still available. 89 %, +59.0 kWh, lading ferdig
Oh man I cannot wait for renault megane e-tech tests, it is looking like the car that covers mostly what I need, and is affordable

Great underrated electric SUV
Bjorn its not the lane divider, its called the central resevation ie the armco barrier, great to see you back in the cold buddy.
When I lived in Trondhjem I saw all the orange trees up there… really tasty
I would like to see Bjorn do a 1000km challenge in the new MG ZS EV Long Range
Björn, you are the best ABC jokes man ever !! 🤣
Always Bugs Cleaning
Always Be Charging
Always Blame Covid...
Feel free to complete the list 😉
Always Buy Solo! 🤣
Pinky up sophisticated
These ABC jokes are killing me 😄 🤣 😂 keep it up
Fantastic Car this Mercedes EQA👍
Do you recommend this car?
Bjorn for the difference of money between the 250 and the 350 which one do you recommend? Mostly for driving in to town…
250

Time that Bjorn gets an i4 to play with.
Welcome home to your cold habitat Bear Nyland 😂
Bjorn, our adopted viking. ;)
How much cost this Mercedes EQA 4matic? and is this car efficient EV?
Fully specced easily around 65000€
@@tommesob5099 Very expensive car! Ouff 😮💨

Then it overheat like Bjorn tested! 🤷🏻♂️

How many cars support 300 kW today?

Norwegian orange juice looks like car coolant. Someone mail him a bottle of Florida orange juice so he'll know what its supposed to look like. 🍊
Can you test the updatet bmw ix3.
How long does it take to charge with a 22kW Ac charger?
Like 8h
2kW for heating will result in 22 kWh extra consumption for an 11 hour trip.
Bjorn, Any of your Mercedes contacts can confirm if that sound proofing is also applied/improved on the EQA250 or just to the more expensive 350? Thinking about swapping my wife’s e-Golf for an EQA…
I drive one and I feel it is very silent now on Winter tires. Can highly recommend you the 250!

I love it, ABC, Always, Blame, Covid
Hey Bjorn, next time glue a piece of styrofoam under your car. Maybe it won't coldgate then for once :D
All cars will be slower less efficient due to cold battery and bad weather.
Not all cars. Some cars.
@@bjornnyland Yea not fossil fuel cars :D

Unhealthy Thai food? Man don´t say that, I basically run on Thai curry these days
that food, my god... very ~sad~ healthy!
Buns and Solo healthy food! LOL. Empty calories.
👍🚙
Need lots of kjoules to combat the cold Norwegian winter, buns, sugary drinks, whale blubber Reindeer fat.....🤣
Shitty roads, it's true :( ABC -> Always Blame Covid. :D
That info system is more laggy than my PS2. This is ridiculous. A car this price with this terrible computer hardware performance.
