Bjorn healthy again, Artic circle trip, ID4 stats and Bjorn showing what he eats and sleeping, this I like.

[@terryrodbourn2793]

The only problem is at least in the UK, Canada and others that car is slowest EV chargers in EV car business testing!

@@terryrodbourn2793 There is a great supercharger/high-powered chargers network in the UK. Only issue is the many ICE-parkers and white-van-men drivers in the UK that keep blocking charging spots cause they hate anything that is not petrol

Great video! Do you know what tires the ID4 you drove was fitted with? You mention that you didn't notice hiss/noise from the wheel while driving. Myself, I test drove one recently which had noticeable noise when driving in wet conditions. I'm thinking that could be down to the tires 🤔

[@mmorgan7212]

Thanks Bjorn!

Kjempe bra testing. Men når vil du ta en tur med en bil som er lastet opp tilsvarende det å ha med seg kone og to barn + bagasje :) Det hadde vært en bra test som ligner på virkligheten :) Takk for mye bra info og mange bra videoer. Jeg så på dine gamle videoer når jeg valgte bil :)

[@bjornnyland]

That would be impractical. However, I already offset this by driving a little bit over the speed limit. Most Norwegians drive with a hat, you know...

[@ryanwelsh6952]

@Bjørn Nyland the whole style of this video with the music and the stats reminds me of back in the Millennium Falcon days back when you got big into making videos , love this style, so nostalgic. Keep it up man🤙

@@bjornnyland I understand that you canæt bring wifi on all our trips. But if you fill the car with weight that corespond with haven a famili of 4 on a tirp to geilo or anu other place. The power consumtion will be higher then if you are just one person in the car. Most of the cars like ID.4 is a family car. When I was looking at EV's and I was nuub. I dident thoink of that. do to there is not many test where the car is filled up whit alot of weight. So I got the Ioniq 2020 38kw and got supriced to se that the car uses a lot more kw. So I was just thinking that it could be an nice test for you. Since you got so many followers. I cant be the only one that is think that could be cool.?

VW design a good car. Build and long term ownership is also very good. Cant say the same for Tesla.

How is the RWD in the snow? I live in place with lots of snow and in the mountains. My fwd car did not give issue with winter tires. Except for one ti e where I had to wait for snow plow to clear the path in an uphill. Only awd could take the hill, not even a RWD Tesla could do it and had to wait too. AWD is 5000$ more for us

Any way you could show some footage about the different chargers that you use? Is it similar to Tesla’s network where you just pull up and start charging and they automatically bill it or do you have to do some steps?

@Björn : Concerning towing capabilities, 1000 kg in Norway and Sweden, 1200 kg in Denmark since it's more flat? I want to tow my 1500 kg boat +trailer (sjösättningsvagn) at max 15 km/h with my new ID4 . At that speed surely the towhook load is ok but what about electrical stuff? Issues with regen, motor, brakes? The trailer is only aimed for getting boat in and out of water an short slow hauling on land for winter storage. Nooob at EV:s... Don't want to assume too much, hence asking.

[@tonyhaggstrom469]

Only seeking advice and better understanding. To tow weight over recomended weight will be my responsibility and decision.

Hej Tony! Det ser ut som att du äger en ID4 idag, stämmer det? Jag är extremt kluven mellan att köpa tesla m3 och id4. Jag vill bara höra vad du har för erfarenhet från bilen? Det som får mig att avstå fr teslan är vad försäkringen kommer att kosta det 4e året… jag är ingen person som vill byta var 3e år. Hur är genomsnittlig räckvidd på motorvägen 110kmph? Jag vet inte om den kommer i olika batterikapacitet?exempelvis jämför jag med teslas ca 44km räckvidd på deras sr+ Tack på förhand!

@@AzizIzgin Yes, jag har en ID4 sedan april. Kört 800 mil so far. Körde nyligen Öland - Hudiksvall, full bil i 20 grader, vindstilla och solsken, då drog den 1,79 kWh /mil. Dagen efter Hudiksvall - Luleå spöregn 13grader, motvind (kraftig sådan) takräcke och kajak, då drog den 37% mer 😅. ID.4 var första familjebil på ren el för "rimlig" peng, bra bagageutrymme, dragkrok, hyfsad markfrigång, många serviceverkstäder OCH att den är CO2 neutral från köp.

I like what I'm seeing with the ID4 but am concerned with it having rear wheel drive. That's usually not good on ice and I live in Minnesota; like Siberia only friendlier.

[@pka8514]

ID4 has 53% of weight at rear axel and ESP so it should be ok in winter with good tyres. 4wd GTX model will come later and that is what you really want in winter.

[@merzto]

AWD will come later.
