#55 Road trip with Hyundai Kona part 1

[@johnyves1246]

Bjorn, thank you for being an EV enthusiast but also for showing your beautiful Norway 🇳🇴!

[@YektaFrtna]

He really likes Kona. His expressions shows us how much he like Kona.

[@stili774]

Its just a great car ;)

[@CryptoBullrunChannel]

awesome Bjorn. You have some interesting videos that is is a bit different than other reviewers

[@Peter-ku4ji]

@@paulvadeanu246 haha sure.

[@iali00]

Norwegian customer service. Same as in France telling you to call some number for money back.

[@noeldavis618]

Wow, this scenery is spectacular. Norway is a beautiful country!

[@TechGuyCharlie]

28:40 😂 😁 This is why you watch uncle Bjorn's videos, there is always something that will make you smile or laugh. Funny thing is there was a blue sign right in front of them telling them where they should go haha, indeed they got Ninja :D

[@astromankl1]

good music and shots, make really nice overall effect especially when you drive on these lonely snowy roads

[@hartfischer5509]

It is cold and rainy in Southern California. Perfect day to stay home and put beautiful snowy, icy images of Norway on my big screen TV. Great videos. Love your channel. Greetings from LA.

[@electriceagle8737]

Great music Bjørn! Fits to the mysterious landscape like a hand in a glove!🎻🎼🎧

[@Stoic-of-Rome]

Funny watching this from a balmy, sunny New Zealand. Great pace and commentary as ever. Thanks.

[@russiandrivers9986]

Norway looks expensive and cold, but their petrol stations have nice burgers!

[@ramblerandy2397]

Makes me wonder what the average ICE driver would think while watching this. Something like 'what a faff those EV drivers have to go through.' But really BN is just giving us every detail he can about charging and glossing over the driving part, a bit. Good video BN.👍

[@timmurphy5541]

He's thinking: "I wish I could take a holiday in Norway" and "I wish I could afford a new EV like that Kona".

[@Henriburger1]

The average “ICE driver” doesn’t watch these videos.

[@ramblerandy2397]

@@Henriburger1 Sadly. That's probably true

[@timmurphy5541]

I might not be average, :-), but I am an ICE driver and what I'm thinking is: where does all the money come from? My car is worth less than a replacement leaf battery - how am I going to justify even the cheapest EV? The savings don't add up and your chances of ending up with a vehicle whose value drops to 0 (e.g. battery becomes obsolete or impossibly expensive to replace) make savings seem very uncertain. I am also thinking that I wish Honda would make a really good electric Jazz because I love that car.

[@filthefil]

@@timmurphy5541 They're making Urban EV. And you're doing yourself a disservice by thinking that way, ICE cars fail more often and the battery on the current cars we have will last. With time, the $/kWh will drop (at the moment it's around $100 per kwh so a 35 kwh leaf battery will cost you $3500 to replace and you're good to go).

[@antonbeton5738]

Hello from russia Bjorn!) Great views! I've done a roadtrip over there too :)

[@jimlarsen6782]

Those Goldilocks batteries are quite fussy about temperatures; too bad. Maybe someday...

[@Henriburger1]

Norway is so beautiful to drive through

[@ntelas46]

You are a good vlogger Bjorn.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

I have been waiting for the Kona road trip video! :D Hope, the part where everyone got Ninja after getting off the ferry is included lol. Gonna watch this at dinner time.

[@bjornnyland]

+Tech Guy Charlie Yes, I included that part :)

[@cepaposible]

Leaf hotgate and Kona coldgate. Why don't Norway get all the Leafs and leave the Konas for warm Spain? ;-) LOL.

[@ginnyanderson500]

The scenery is absolutely spectacular! Very relaxing review, more down to earth and relatable. Liked the Kona info very much.

[@macronencer]

Came for the car information... stayed for the Norwegian scenery! I didn't know the Kona had that utility mode, that seems very useful.

[@Chrisb8s]

these road videos made me want a tesla /ev so bad.. lovely. Now I have mine and I do love road trips. I do a lot of them for my work in my tesla

[@AbidingDuder]

Best review bit ever: "Kona doesn't seem to be the best car for cooking noodles and shit..." Made me actually LOL.

[@sonuvabitch]

Glad it wasn't only me!

[@AM-zn9di]

This was a great road trip video and music

[@MacGuyver85]

Anyone know the music track? Edit: Found it: Yule by Ian Post artlist.io/song/5010/yule

[@jacquescristobal6639]

@@MacGuyver85 I searched for the album too but did not find it....😀

[@alainvd]

The next project should be "Bjørn Nyland Eats" where you review the burgers across the highways ;-)

[@dcvariousvids8082]

Alain Van Driessche Bjørn goes large...

[@delcyvoisine8896]

I wish one day he would stop at a roadside restaurant and order a meal typical of a restaurant offering and deswcribe it. I like the guy as I find him to be entertaining.

[@Genuiini]

Great! Another video. Keep 'em coming!

[@alexandreesquenet3736]

Kona charges faster than ipace beautiful at 9:30 and 12:36 Great musics, thanks!!

[@michaelpries960]

first second of the video viewed and YES! the old roadtripsound is back! I love it 😎

[@MichelCavro]

Awesome footage! Maybe I ll try to do a road trip sometimes in Norway when I get my Kona :-)

[@Somun-a]

The windy part reminded me of Total Recall :)

[@tootallno]

Showing off winter wonder land Norway. Thank you Bjørn :)

[@arenjay3278]

You should do a video on battery heaters who does what and how it is connected to the cooling system if at all. More video ideas would be on using different tires on the same vehicle, studded snow, non studded snow, summer tires, low roll resistance, and different tire sizes (total diameter vs just rim size). Aero hub caps vs spokes vs other rim types.

[@yodagerhard8389]

Probably if you drive in ECO-Mode then the Active TMS not heats the battery, no matter of "winter mode" = on or off Set "Comfort Mode" and "Winder Mode = ON" in cold days .... Needing more tests to make this sure.

[@DjTonioRoffo]

Prom, did you ever figure out if this is true?

[@tallll70]

EVs are progressing nicely, like the quite ride and fun torque, but charging times are still little drag. It's getting better though... I'm from central Europe, i wish i can see beautiful Norway mountains and do more traveling. Just came from Lake Tahoe through hwy 80, that was nice too and Yosemite about half year ago, but Norway, Alaska, Yukon offers other level of scenery

[@thanhngo5859]

Just like buffalo going over a cliff for the ferry unloading. Except for Bjorn who is a ninja.

[@martinkjr3278]

Great run Bjørn. You should put up Google Maps links for some of the routes you take. Would be easy for others to go on the same routes if wanting to. I'd sure like to go on some of these trips when I get my EV next year.

[@CoolSilverWolf]

Well at least I got to see myself on the streaming phone. Love the scenery. Never gets old. I found out how substandard the stock Michelin all-season tires are in snow on the 3 :( They could be a lot better

[@oldfilthynorseman4603]

.....the trunk is kind of foill! That's a good vending Bjørn😉.....maybe you should use it in another episode🤔

[@alexboehm3137]

I love those roadtrips. Great work

[@JB-iz4ju]

Way to go Björn!

[@luisag763]

Nice view of the mountains!!

[@kardy12]

Since the winter tires seem to come up repeatedly in the videos, here is where the name comes from ;) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakkapeliitta

[@taxitaxi1400]

Tesla Björn for President!!!!!!! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[@skepticalmechanic]

I eat cans of chili and cans of tuna… just open and eat! Sardines are good and easy too!

[@Connie431]

haha, in germany, there is a proivider that has a roaming agreement with ionity, and we can charge at ionity for 2 eurocents per minute

[@sandorski56]

Looks so much like British Columbia, without a few road features I wouldn't notice a difference.

[@mattaut88]

wonder how Model 3 will do on IONITY. have seen 111kW at 18% SoC during -20°Celsius in the US.

[@russellgilchrist3951]

Bjorne love the sound track 👍👍

ah! Road trips are always you Best content Bjorn ..don't have your special 'o' on my keyboard :)

Er det tangerine Comet?

[@JanezPregrad]

Hi Bjørn. Can you please put some basic data in description, like: Car | Battery | Power | Trip Distance | Total time | Charging time | Miscellaneous time | .... or you could introduce scoring system "Bjørn score". And please include food score..

[@TheVitaaa]

you have to try the michelin crossclimate tires, good 4 season tires

[@TBasianeyes]

Loved the music in this episode!

[@Reason077]

MAX burger is pretty great. The "crispy no chicken" is the best vegetarian burger I ever ate.

[@venataciamoon2789]

Love the scenery, reminded me of my trip from England to Olden, Geiranger, Flam and Bergen. Those chargers need some security. What is it to stop someone taking your charger when you walk away for an hour or pressing stop like that women's charger just for giggles. Can see it happening over here in the future.

[@combatgerbil3262]

Cables lock into the car until the car is unlocked. Even if someone were to manage to stop the charging session, the cable cannot be removed until the car itself is unlocked. Many chargers need the app and or payment/RFID card to be tapped before the session can be stopped using the stop button too.

[@rosalialombardo9384]

the second on a site that shows GPS says to trust the speed of the GPS because the odometer of the kona is not good.

[@frankmuller8441]

Why is battery care always on 0.00kWh, is not never kicking in to heat?

[@DjTonioRoffo]

I have the feeling "winter mode" was off.

[@kellympaul]

Rad tunes dude. Bopping away here watching the video :D :D :D

[@Genuiini]

Yes, test the Ionity HPC on I-Pace and every other EV you can get into your hands.

[@iardagurbuz]

I love you dude. Greetings from Turkey :)

[@rororo135]

I've seen this roadtrip and the ones you did with de Kia e-niro. They are very close, but which one would you choose for longer trips and which one would you choose for daily use? Is the Kona practical enough with that console?

[@DjTonioRoffo]

Was "winter mode" engaged during this trip? Obscure little setting...

[@bjornnyland]

+Yves Smolders Of course.

[@rosalialombardo9384]

Hello; I have two questions for you, the heat pump supplied by extreme cold

[@AFMEGAT]

This is another comment on how beautiful Norway is. How to migrate there? hmmm..

[@renrenarenatosss]

Looking fresh

[@LesterDFunk]

With both Kona and iPace charging at the same slow rate, could the problem be that the chargers are cold and self limiting?

[@TaiViinikka]

Chargers (unlike batteries) like being cold. I mean, don't they?

[@LesterDFunk]

Only to an extent, nothing electronic really likes the cold. Cold temperatures change the resistance of many metals, which often leads electronics to think there's a fault. Plus the heat generating nature of a charger means condensation and frosting are also possible at below freezing temperatures.

[@stevewallace1117]

Did you drive using snow tires? How much was your km reduced using snow tires?

[@abbaby555]

Was the heating system any better or more efficient on this car than any other ? Or about the same?

[@josemdbl4957]

Nice video as always!!!

[@Bercik87]

8:40 this feels like Koyaanisqatsi

[@FrAllard]

I'm in Canada and I'm getting delivery of my Kona EV next month. I'm shoping for Winter Tire and I was wondering how did you like those Nokian? I'm hesitating between Nokian Haka R3 and Toyo Observe GSi-5

[@gamerul]

Awesome country you have there! Also, really admire your passion you put into making these vlogs! Thank you! What is the platform you are streaming on? And what is the app you use on mobile to see battery data from the EV? Hello from Romania!

[@remylojo-petrovcic3911]

When I drove the ICE Kona I had huge hassles with buckling up every time I entered the car, because the seal belt hatch was squeezed between the seat and the center console, and couldn't be raised in any manner. It was especially problematic for short distances and I didn't want to remove my coat. Is that also an issue with the electric counterpart?

[@TaiViinikka]

I drove one in my winter coat yesterday (in Toronto) and buckling in seemed easy enough.

[@hno15hno]

Bjorn - very good quality of video. What kind of camera do you use?

[@Trance4Ever]

Hello! Whats the best range you had wirh 64kwh kona on winter and summer time? City and highway Thank you!

[@thetimelapseguy8245]

Bjørn, You need to come one time to Grønn kontakt in Skien centrum and go get burger in Bulglar its the best burger i ever tried ;D

[@bb-casie12]

Do you charge over night and leave right after? As this only heats the batttey when charging over night when u have on s schld. To charge

Hi Bjorn, how do you make these cool animated maps ? Great video once again... Thanks

[@darkbyte2005]

Uncle Bjørn, thank you for sleeping, driving, streaming in this kona car, just for us to come along and enjoy the scence and learn from your experience..

[@kattlikzm]

Uncle bjørn? Whats the song at 35:00 something?

[@cepaposible]

Seriously, those problems handling extreme hot or cold with Leaf and Kona don't help at popularizing EVs :-( I am disappointed. Though maybe Hyundai can fine tune the BMS with a software update.

[@balexandre]

Was it raining in Bergen? :D
