Thanks for an inspiring winter trip to Prague. Many great details about life as an EV motorist :-)

[@gery4870]

Love it ! Keep up this road trips !!

[@thelifeofbatteries2603]

Great video, i had no idea Ev's were toll free in Czech, i will be passing that way in the summer so thanks for mentioning it

[@JOSEANTONIOJIMENEZ]

Great car for southern Spain

[@backwoodsbungalow9674]

Thanks for sharing your experience with a road trip in the e-Up. At 11:17 read world charging at only 20kW is painfully slow. If the next generation of battery pack will charge at 50kW up to 80% that will be a big improvement.

[@danielgago-sk]

This generation charging slow... forum.skodahome.cz/uploads/monthly_2020_02/1506688467_prubehnabijenicitigo.png.fe713a11784c5bc5092f899fb0d8aab0.png

[@jessegeerts5043]

@@danielgago-sk The first gen e-UP! & Last gen are fairly slow with charging on DC. Compared with the eGolf 2017 it charges with 37kW till ~70-90%

Very nice car for city traffic and (short) stretches on the highway. The only downside for me is the support of the front seats. Standard camping chairs offer more comfort than these "boards with raised edges". But it drives really good, even in eco-mode.

[@oykkh29]

Great 👍🏻👌🏻🚗🔋

I wish you would have showed inside the dounut shop. It would have been a sweet cultural treat after all that work. I like you commenting. You cou actually do a European travel show when you get your id3. Travel all over Europe dealing with electric infrastructure hype. The we also get food and culture.

[@BatteryLife]

Thanks. I am sure they wouldn't have liked me filming in there.

[@archidube]

That shop Probably not. Some Cafes would like the attention. I bet you could draw a crowd at various spots around Europe when you drive up with your id3. Their reactions and questions would be interesting. I like see landscape, architecture and highway differences compared to US.

[@NeilBlanchard]

The heat is a BIG range killer.

[@BatteryLife]

It is!

[@NeilBlanchard]

@@BatteryLife I just saw a converted Mini video, that had a heated floor, and heated seats. If you have a heated steering wheel, and seats - AND the floor - who knows maybe you could save at least 1kW or maybe more?

[@KingLuLu1986]

Your trunk is bigger, you can pull the spacer down to increase space

[@BatteryLife]

I know, but there is not a lot of room.

[@heihar2007]

isnt it about time you get a 'real' charge point at your place. Even though you are not owning a e-car yet you drive them often and you'r getting the VW this year.

[@BatteryLife]

Who knows

[@ginkelvanmichiel]

Does the app work without an internet connection? I don’t have a 4G subscription (only wifi). So I can’t receive data wilst driving.

[@filaov]

Many thank for your videos, great job and detailed information. I do have 1 question: what is your winter consumption for short distances ? 0 degree outside, clima off, heater at 20 degrees ? I’m traveling short distances 10-15 km and my average consumption is 20 to 25 kW / 100. Do you think is normal or should I visit the VW service ? Thank you !

[@BatteryLife]

Thanks. I only had this press car for 2 weeks.

[@filaov]

@@BatteryLife thank you for your answer. Maybe you can do a video or answer in some weeks when you will have more detail. For me, if I charge my car to 80%, I cannot exceed 70 km in the city, which is not nice for a car with 36 kw battery ... I’m trying to compare with others users, to decide if I should address to VW service.. Stay safe !

[@danielgago-sk]

I went 411km to an older Version of e-Up. 7 times Charging - approx. 12 to 25 Minutes (every 60-70km). Older Version has very fast Charging...

[@BatteryLife]

In the summer?

[@danielgago-sk]

@@BatteryLife Now, in this mild Winter. The Outdoor Temperature 5-8.5 Degrees, so for the batteries well, for me worse, without heating it could not. Average Consumption of 15.3kWh (Highways have broken down but accelerated ...), the Track was a total of 411km , I started 8:00 and ended at 18:45. Average speed 46km / h, driving was 8 Hours 52 Minutes (and in addition only pauses on Chargers and one longer for lunch). Very interesting experience.

[@swedenevguru8483]

Like all your news about VW Id 3 that you been best in providing, are Id 4 in showroom in Zwickau Germany ? Thinking alot want to se that car also.

[@BatteryLife]

Thanks. I don't know about the id4

[@itekani]

Nice trip! I didn't catch what app you were using to see data while driving? So how was it going on a quite long road trip with a small city car with 200km range? Would you do it again? :)

[@BatteryLife]

The app is Maps & more. Designed for the eUp. It is ok. But I wouldn't do this a lot.

[@stasis7857]

The driver is waisting a lot of energy by maintaining +23 degrees inside. +20 are more than enough. By the way +22 is the default, too high for me, I would prefer to have it set to 18.The car is fine, but after couple of years mine experienced few glitches. I cannot trust estimated distance any more, below 100km estimated it may drop instantly by some 50-60km down. In addition the charging unit inside the car began to show some bugs. Occasionally it refused to provide charge from a home AC power socket. Though, it still worked on a public chargfing station. Sometimes, but not always it started to work from home socket again after I had tried to use public CSS charger. Unfortunately, it appeared again after a while. Diagnostics done at a VW dealer service did not identify any errors, so the issue continued to pop up time to time again. Sometimes it simply started to work again after a certain time. Finally, this year I took my car to the dealer again and this time they confirmed the issue. Installation of a new charging unit is gonna cost me a 1000 euros at a discount. Otherwise I am more than happy with my e-UP.

[@nitelite78]

Does this car have both reach and rake steering, just rake, or neither?

[@BatteryLife]

I don't know what that is.

[@nitelite78]

@@BatteryLife Reach is extending the steering wheel in and out. Rake is moving it up and down.

[@BatteryLife]

Up down works, in and out I haven't tried yet.

[@Dralonet]

Please do a berrer summary in the end, total time etc.

[@BatteryLife]

Everything was said in the video. Traveltime, km, driving, charging,... low attention spam, eh?

[@Dralonet]

Battery Life sure it was but if you dont have 30 minutes and just want to know the results, a summary in the end is better, like Björn Nyland usually does.

[@markusofficial9016]

So you have your e-Sound off as well. It’s so annoying. I have to find a way to disable it permanently, or at least make it a lot quieter. Almost sounds worse than an ICE up.

[@BatteryLife]

Especially since it sounds like a fossile car. According to some people you can disable it with Odbeleven.

[@swedenevguru8483]

42 Kwh in a Fiat 500e that shows how much better battery Density improved.

Cold feet poor blood circulation. Two things will help. 1. Don’t eat poor food like donuts. To much junk in processed food and tons of sugar. 2. Walk don’t sit on a chair och drive a car all day. Even if it’s a nice BEV.

[@eup9856]

Die Ladeleistung ist sehr schlecht. Viel schlechter als der alte E-UP mit 18,xKWh. Der hat wenigstens mit >30Kw bei diesen Temperaturen und SOC >70% geladen. Da waren in 25 min CCS Laden 100Km Reichweite wieder nachgeladen. Die Frage sei erlaubt, warum ein doppelt so großer Akku 32,xKWh nur noch 1/2 so schnell lädt. Ja jetzt kommen wieder die Stimmen, Akku schonen usw. Quatsch alles! Beim Fahren werden ja auch deutlich kurzeitig >200A entnommen und im Dauerbetrieb 50A und da wird der Akku kaum 20°C warm. Das ist doch eine Fehlkonstruktion oder nicht gewollt!

[@BatteryLife]

Und der eGolf lädt mit der gleichen Batterie auch schneller.

[@ph4030]

@@BatteryLife Der neue e-up! kann auch schneller laden. Wenn aber die Zellen zu kalt sind - hier im Video aufgrund der Umgebungstemperatur um den Gefrierpunkt und sie durch den Straßenverlauf (langsames Fahren) nicht richtig warm werden können - leidet nun mal die Ladegeschwindigkeit, da das Akkupaket nicht aktiv temperiert wird. Abgesehen davon empfiehlt es sich, eher im Bereich 5-10 % SoC bis so ca. 70 % zu laden, weil es bei den "Drillingen" danach richtig mit der kW-Leistung runtergeht. Hier mal der spanische Verwandte, der SEAT Mii electric, beim Laden bei ca. 10 Grad Außentemperatur: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naOvYqdnhtN3jac Das sind schon andere Werte.

[@eup9856]

@@ph4030 Ich habe die Werte vom Spanien Video mal nachgestellt. Bei Ankunft an der Ladesäule war der Akku auf 25°C im Wohlfühlbereich. Außen 11°C. Beim Ladestart war der SOC auf 13%. Alle Werte im BMS ermittelt mit OBD11. Das Ergebniss: zwischen SOC 13% und 40% gerade mal 31 KW Ladeleistung. Ab 40% sinkt die Leistung rapide ab. Das einzige was steigt ist die Temperatur, am Ende 34,5°C. Und bitte nicht vergessen was die Ladesäule anzeigt sind sämtliche Ladeverlußte mit inbegriffen, die müssen ja bezahlt werden. Das was die Drillinge im Sommer abliefern steht noch aus zu bewerten, aber ich denke schon in Richtung Rapidgate....siehe LEAF
