#74 Mercedes EQA road trip to Arctic Circle part 1

[@halvatek1]

The Norwegian Tourist Board should give this man a medal , rase a statue or something! One of the better ways to promote your country! I watch your videos Bjorn since the beginning, but i am afraid i can hardly thank you enough for your efforts! You remain an inspiration!! Best regards from Romania!

[@Scrap-press]

I'm impressed. Eqa = secret EV star

[@manuntvg01]

9:05 the fact that you were able to predict so accurately the SoC on arrival is truly impressive

[@marcgirard7551]

The classic roadtrip videos are always such a treat! Thanks, Bjorn!!

[@berthogendoorn2133]

Keep the arctic circle videos coming, always great to see all the different Ev's and how they perform on long drives!!!

[@nialli2000]

Agree. It's also important for people from other countries. Norway has a really strong EV infrastructure. Moreso in the south than the north. So heading up north shows better "worst case" EV use

[@derekmasters6997]

You are becoming a star Bjorn. You should be on a National TV channel in UK!

BTW, I really like to see the beautiful road while listening the BGM you put together. Cool feeling.

[@nathanstevful]

I love seeing the views. Spent a happy 10 days outside Tromsø. Can't wait to come back.

[@nordlands8798]

15:34 Roadworks = unpaved roads in the navigation, you have to turn off every "avoid" option.

[@bjornnyland]

Aha, that was a bit confusing.

[@SURFpal]

Vegan burger with cheese and bacon for the win!

[@SirHackaL0t.]

The UK does an amazing thing with their sandwiches… We put another piece of bread on top. That way you don’t get your fingers all over the filling. :)

[@SirHackaL0t.]

@@starvictory7079 lol. Nice. Us English people haven’t had to master the art of eating a single slice of bread with toppings. 😂

[@berthogendoorn2133]

But and a big but I see Norway just received a ship-load of Hyundia Ioniq 5's!!! I am thinking that at least one of them wants to go to the artic circle with you at the wheel!!!

[@RikuVoipio]

"When will you test ioniq 5" is the new "when will you test peugeot e-208" 😂

[@berthogendoorn2133]

yes I love the abetterrouteplanner feature that you can update the actual consumption, makes planing a long trip especially here in Canada where we have a number of many high altitude mountain passes (in BC), very accurate once you fine tune the efficiency.

[@mikiethebikie]

Great report Bjorn, greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@jpen5599]

Love the music!

[@jimmyhii3]

roadtrip!!! :D the scenery in norway is so good.

6:19 look at the phone when he closed the door 😅😂

[@ikocheratcr]

Nice video as always, you always find a way to make it very interesting and relaxing to watch. And the views... yeah.

[@santerix]

It can charge like a boss even at cold

[@colla555]

10:10 is for aerodynamics or efficiency. The part which is further to the front overlaps the parts that are more at the back. If it was the other way round the wind would catch the offset. (so the front door should poke out further than the back door and the back door further the rear fender.

[@HenrikMilles]

Dont forget that the Mercedes Me Rfdi lets you charge at almost all stations. A Big Plus for Mercedes.

[@BasicFlashCube]

km/h = Stundenkilometer kWh = Kilowattstunden kWh/h = StundenKiloWattStunden 😆

[@harmwijk5539]

Thanks for your video's, your the best! I saw that the first batch of Ioniq 5 have arrived in Norway this week. I'm looking forward very very very much to your Ioniq 5 expierence. I trust you will get one soon.

[@danedane6613]

You forgot to say that you wanted buns in ‘Bolleland’ 😀 3:09

[@oceanfroggie]

Bjørn, Love watching your entertaining videos with some awesome scenery, you sell Norway well. Thanks for the unbiased no 'sheeeeeeet' reviews and real world data. Best wishes. PS: Maths may not be your strong point claiming to be half four nationalities. Guten Abend.

[@kasmopaya2676]

21:58 Indeed, BMW iX3 #coldgated quite a lot, it deserved that slow time. We are not talking about -20/30 degrees, that was a very poor performance from BMW with a little bit of cold wind.

[@chrischild3667]

So true!

[@Choda7777]

Best channel ever

[@steveau1747]

thanks for video, can you test more on EQV because i want to buy it

Such a gem of a car. Maybe Mrs new car after e_Golf. And by the way Bjorn... amazing qualitydhigh definition video! Looks like I was there! So crisp.

[@friggthis333]

Burger = wheat. Bad stomach if gluten intolerant. It's so common. It can get more common as you get older (not that I'm saying you're old!) even though it didn't affect you before. Thai food is so healthy, why not stick to that?

[@Lot76CARS]

Great test of the EQA, not sure why it’s not getting more attention.

[@Markus-zb5zd]

they are probabyl selling at capacity and thus no marketing is needed

[@hrrrrr2084]

Very nice EV good all rounder

[@anttisouru1530]

"This time we use BEDROOM PLANNER" - that's what ABRP is according to automatic subtitles 😂 The most important point of the bedroom plan: APRH = Always Pump with the Right Hand

[@Nobody_Famous]

Perhaps Bjorn could make a video where the whole subtitling is wrong. I get “your whatsapp” on some videos

[@jakobnev5973]

[@iangardner2311]

On your last stop. You mentioned AC charging. I wonder if the Leaf road trips would go better. With over night AC charging. Instead of heating the battery with another DC charge.

[@bjornnyland]

I did charge on AC overnight with Leaf when going to the north.

[@iangardner2311]

@@bjornnyland on the trip to Folldal you AC charger to start. I was thinking AC charging near Folldal while camping.

[@nialli2000]

Did the live stream camera fall off when Bjorn slammed the door in Alvdal?

[@oliviersourie280]

They should replace ABRP with ‘A Bjorn Route Planner’

[@fragalot1964]

Nice surprise

[@SamuraiTacos1]

[@Segi1988the]

Hey, I think you spent a lot of time in these electric cars. Can you create a video about the high voltage for the human body? You can get easily this equipmemts they are just some 10 euro. This is can be a new topic :) 1. When you take some mesurements inside the car 2. Outside 3. When charging inside 4. When charging outside I' am a big ev fan by the way :) I have Tesla :D

[@aliengoa0]

Hi, is this car a pre-production model? If it is it will probably justify the quality build

[@christophemadeline9753]

Bjorn, with cheese, it is vegetarian, without it is vegan (non animal product). Bjorn for the win. Christophe, vegetarian from Montpellier, France

[@danedane6613]

EQA, EQC, ID.3, ID.4 6:11 🤣

Anyone know the song at 7:30 ? Can't find it in his playlist and shazam can't find it either :(

[@crmmates]

For that maps draw on 0.07 secs, which software do you use mate?

[@danedane6613]

Why not go to north cape with the Enyaq? You said yourself it’s a nicer car? 21:50

[@bjornnyland]

I will use ID4.

[@myleftfoot68]

Could you combine the 1000km challenge and the Arctic circle trip into one trip? I enjoy both but it seems you drive more otherwise.

[@andrewgunawan6592]

I think Bjorn being an engineer wants his tests to be standardized on a standard route with known variables.

[@bjornnyland]

Those are very different roads and speed limits. In case you haven't seen them, 1000 km challenge goes at 110 km/h speed limit roads. Whereas Arctic Circle trip goes on 50-80 km/h speed limit roads. And half of the trip has no high power chargers whereas 1000 km challenge has HPC all the way.

[@siLox95]

Why do you need to put the car in “Neutral”instead of “Parking”? Does it shut off in P? It would give a more safe feeling.

[@nordlands8798]

Yes, most EVs turn off after 30 minutes i Park.

[@rubenbraekman4515]

Do you need to pay for charging?

[@felixarkang5414]

You should mount a go pro or something on your seat so can do do pov roadtrip instead it whould be much more intrestesting to watch than just seeing a road in The timelaps.

[@davidsommen1324]

But then the speed would be visible. Not a good idea :)

[@Nobody_Famous]

@@davidsommen1324 the VAT could be costly

[@fredrikholm6340]

Nice car 👍 Can you try the latest Hyundai Kona wich can charge at 100kW ?

[@bjornnyland]

Source?

[@JohnDoe-vx3z]

They haven't changed charging speed for the Kona.

[@johagustavsen9506]

@@bjornnyland www.hyundainews.com/assets/documents/original/44989-2022KonaandKonaElectricProductBriefing021821.pdf Charging has changed.

Have you ever calculated that electric cars seem to waste a lot of time on charging

[@JohnDoe-vx3z]

It's called 1000km challenge

[@davidsommen1324]

Wow this is painful

[@bjornnyland]

They don't waste time because they charge so fast and as shown in this video and many other videos, the driver barely have time to eat and pee.

[@nathanstevful]

Are you even vegan if you don't sneak bacon into everything!

[@henrik-j1l]

Björn, it’s getting a bit boring seeing you eat in all your videos. It’s not about the car so much anymore. The driving is with nice music but no driving sound. I fast forward to the excel sheet and just see the results. Sad, you really had something going with this channel.

[@bjornnyland]

The driving on road trip never had driving sound on it... it was always with music. You should know that. For driving sounds and other impressions with the car, I have dedicated tests for them. This is a road trip style video.

[@henrik-j1l]

@@bjornnyland Yes it’s always with music which is ok if you also have a dedicated review with banana boxes and driving xp. It’s fine that you eat on the way but you use a lot of time for this. You could show interesting things on the way or comment more on how the cars are driving or useable. In contrast to the other reviewers you have the cars for a long drive. I’ve been following your channel for a long time since you bought your tesla.
