Different cars, even from the same manufacturers have different capacities "below 0%", I'm not surprised. Nice of you to try it so we don't have to.

[@hardywoodaway9912]

so VW cannot program their cars behaving equally? wtf is that conclusion

[@BubbaBearsFriend]

@@hardywoodaway9912 They can, but they don't need to, and this video shows that they didn't. wtf is your comment?

[@celeron55]

Having an error of a few % in the SoC estimate (yes, it's an estimate) is normal, it's difficult to get it completely right especially if the battery hasn't been driven empty in a long time. Part of the reason for the buffer is to "eat" this error where necessary. Anyway, not being able to drive for a bit after charging 1kWh is a bad user experience, even though it makes sense for the BMS as it recalibrated itself when it saw the true bottom.

[@celeron55]

For this reason it's not necessarily any different to the Buzz. It just happened to be in a bad state.

Björn, you should add a foldable two-wheeled shopping cart to your gear you carry around for this test. So you can put the two heavy ecoflows on it when you have to charge them at a gas station.

[@bjornnyland]

I already have one at home. Good idea.

[@kwiks987]

I admire your patience... staying there for almost 2 hours with all this issues for this video... I would have been frustrated and stressed like hell.

[@pavelblaha5243]

It's a shame that we didn't see the voltage on each cell or what the lowest cell voltage was, because the lowest cell voltage is probably the main factor for battery cut off. Each battery may behave a little differently depending on the voltage imbalance between the cells.

[@rkan2]

Even in a VW; in s new pack they should be really close.. Whatever were the Tesla quoted numbers.. 5mV across the whole pack with no load.

[@Think2Relax]

you could leave battery in trunk and run the cable through car out of the back seat window

Just some information for ENBW 51 cents/Kwh for ex ADAC customers in Germany. Beware your replacement for your ADAC/ENBW card will NOT arrive before 6-8 weeks, just in time for the end of the special price (51 cents). If you have already received a new card from ENBW (I ordered mine in advance) it will NOT entitle you to the special discount, you will have to pay the full price of 59 cents.

[@qb4hkm]

Cheers Bjorn!

[@srebulla]

Suggestion for VAG cars: they seem to "reset and reboot" any errors if they stay off and locked for at least ~10 minutes. So, leave the Ecoflow charging, but stay outside for a while next time.

[@Eratas1]

Leaf is the worst. You have to charge ~2kWh to start moving again. No crawl mode at all.

Luckily not anymore with the Ariya!

Funfact, this is also what happens if i drive my id.3 below 0% at least they are somewhat consistent with there own cars but my id.3 only has the 58kw batterie

[@malcolmbarrett7201]

You’re a genius my friend ❤

[@SrdjanRosic]

I think cars should have a "Bjorn mode", 1kWh from e.g. EcoFlow or Anker or some such thing, should be enough to go 5-10km to a nearest charger somewhere in Norway. Car software dudes need to make this happen.

[@GreenDriveIndia]

You can fold the seat and roll down the window then u don’t need to put eco flow outside of the car

[@chao22]

Put the ecoflows in the back seat and open the window with the cable out to charge. Then you can still charge while having the trunk closed.

"Building up speed" while dumping 22kW in the motor isn't how you conserve battery power on a downhill. You either coast (0kW) or use just enough regen to keep speed under control.

[@bjornnyland]

22 kW is way better than 50 kW output.

[@teardowndan5364]

@@bjornnyland Wind resistance scales with roughly v^1.3. When genuinely concerned about getting to the next charger, every watt wasted going faster than absolutely necessary is one watt too many. Telling people to "build up speed on downhills" by spending more power doing so than needed to maintain highway speed on a flat stretch is flat out wrong. "Building up speed" only makes sense as a range preservation strategy if you are coasting (~0W) downhill.

@@supra800 I think probably not. That's a somewhat uncommon comparison that he or someone else who's driven both would have to make though. Not sure whether he's spoken of that comparison before.

[@Jepbjer]

Hi Bjørn. If you receive any feedback from VW, it would be nice if you shared those. Seemed weird that the buffer is different for the MEB cars. Do you know why the SoC Display from Carscanner and what the car is showing in cockpit is different when you do the back up charge? And have you considered to leave the back up battery in trunk, and have the cable go out of the rear right window? 🤷😁 BTW... Love all your videos and different tests... ❤❤

[@kenion2166]

Might be for better marketing, decreasing buffer means more range on paper

[@tesla-spectre]

1kWh zero buffer is very very little...

[@TechnikFreak775]

i like it, the old MEB Cars had 5 kwh buffer which was little bit to high... so 100-0% was only around 72 Kwh usable and the 77 kwh which was advertised ...was never reached... the most people are driving till 10%, so now you have a accurate indication of your exact battery...

[@pavelblaha5243]

@@TechnikFreak775 The more you squeeze the battery to its limits, the faster it will degrade. A bigger energy buffer certainly makes sense.

[@davidbelecci6970]

The 58kwh battery had effectively a 2kwh top and 2kwh bottom buffer which ment almost 10 % less was available for driving. You just have to charge in time.

[@moestrei]

Better don't switch anyway.

[@kain0m]

The buffer on gas cars is for two reasons: cooling and sloshing. The tank is a good way to shed heat from the fuel, and it needs some remaining fuel to ensure no air is being picked up.
