Kia e-Soul 64 kWh Sunday driving

[@mercchen]

Confirms about the experiences I got in Germany with the e-Soul. About 300-350km range on autobahn with max. 120-130kmh. Around 400km when driving 100-110kmh. Really efficient on low speeds, more thirsty on high speeds compared to Kona and Niro.

[@magnusenorson]

Indeed. Rather unsurprising though, given the more brick-like shape :) I love mine though, looks SO much better than Niro/Kona.

[@garyheavens2389]

Love the Sunday driving test drives, you can see more of the scenery, and excellent as always.

[@Gazer75]

@11:05 Thats the test spot for road markings... They are trying to find what type will last longer when cars drive over it.

[@richh650]

I luv these Sunday drives, even on a Saturday... :)

[@savedfaves]

Watching this video was thinking it felt more like a Saturday drive.

[@charlesbuzz]

For the winter mode to be active, the car need to be moving , baterie need to be under 33% and the temperature need to be less than -5 degrees C , I learn this from a Kona forum

[@chunkychuck]

I was wondering if winter mode actually did anything lol

[@skytreker]

Yeah that was awesome! More sunday driving!🙌

[@TeaBreak.]

At 17-19C, MY2020 Kona when ac charging to 100% currently it shows 311 miles / 500.5km. Mixed driving. Nfera Summer tyres at 38psi.

[@luc_libv_verhaegen]

Looks like a dead backlight.. It's hopefully LED based, but that still draws some amount of power, and the power delivery circuit could be faulty and overheating. Or there's a connection that suffers when the temperature rises, and becomes a "wackelcontact".

[@je9472]

I'm driving a Kona EV with 64kWh, my consumption is at around 110-115 Wh/km at similar weather and speeds

[@samusaran7317]

What app are you using for battery stats? Thanks in advance.

[@josemanuelsanz3777]

Hi Bjorn, if you could do a degradation test to old Kona (2018 or 2019) I will appreciate that. Thanks for your videos.

[@RicoZed]

ABC...always blame Harman kardon :-))

[@iankaye9801]

Acoustic matting for the contre jour

[@brottochstraff]

I do get close to 500km normal Swedish highways(100-120km/h) on the E-niro when its 20-25c out, in eco mode. But more realistic is 450km if you don't drive like a grandmother. The cold-gate is annoying as hell when on roadtrips in winter.

[@marcusfaltstrom7980]

How much for the charging, In SEK when you charge at home and on charging stations🇸🇪🇸🇪 thank you :)

[@brottochstraff]

@@marcusfaltstrom7980 Around 1.5-2.5kr/kwh at home and 3-7kr on fast chargers around the city. I use Tibber smart charging to charge when electricity prices are low at night or during lunch.

[@marcusfaltstrom7980]

@@brottochstraff really cheap if you can charge at home, at the moment diesel prices are at 26.7 SEK/L In the future I plan to buy a EV when I get a house, hard to charge when my apartment don't have charging stations, thank you for the information and have a good day👍

[@SoerenThorsen1972]

Would it be possible for you to test 3-4 classic Ioniqs 2017/2018 with average milage to check battery degregration? The same as you did in the classic Souls and e-Golfs. I still find the classic Ioniqs a tempting purchase for a daily runaround..

I cant wait to see the ID3 77kwh on this trip with the new software 3.1. I hope it runs up to the Tesla.

[@samusaran7317]

Why does everything need to compete with telsa?

[@stefanvanvuuren3931]

@@samusaran7317 mainly because they are the benchmark.

[@nemaranamasssada1103]

Any idea when you will get Toyota BZ4X?

[@apocrypth]

yep. Winter mode is for nothing other than maybe, and really just maybe, when car is stationary and battery is freezeing seriously, it will maybe try to heat it to get it above zero... Charging wise, this is like it is always, no fix from KIA for this (some weak promises but only for EV6/Ioniq5)

[@richieduck67]

No Maya?

[@fornobu]

samsung aquired harman few years ago so.... two ceos are close friends...

[@austin2planks]

Battery heating thing was weird. Was going to say i had seen my Niro continue to heat up to the 25C point but it may have stopped at 15 or so when getting to the threshold for max charging on a 50kW. I don't charge very often on ultra rapid, and when I have I've started with a warm battery. Going to have to turn up at one at 15-20C and see what happens! I was wondering if you meant there was an ambient of 15C above which the heater wasn't active.

[@CookeCraft]

Great content

[@andreasfoto5583]

like it,,, sunday bloody ,,,,,

[@detlefk.5126]

I think from my Experience with Kia Soul, that 14°C is not optimal for range. 20-25 °C and it could be under 120 Wh/km ...

[@jjlp215]

Hello Bjørn hest is the app you ude to see info on charging and temp?

[@chunkychuck]

I think he's using Car Scanner

[@jarsmoreira]

Niiiceeeeee!!! I´m curious about what a Mini Cooper SE could do on similar conditions...not great range, but most likely very good consumption...

[@ranualfhunter1869]

Sunday drivers man...

[@wassim1900]

Hey Bjørn i was wondering if it was possible to Get a range comparison with a fossil car vs a newer ev too see how far the ev has come?

[@nielsvandenkieboom5034]

Check the 1000 km challenge table. The benchmark time is a PHEV KIA Ceed I think.

[@bjrntoreborge4281]

Harman/Kardon is an American company founded in 1953 and still owned by americans, I think.

[@sarfrazsikandar9588]

On March 11, 2017, Samsung Electronics announced the acquisition of Harman for a reported purchase price of $US8 billion.

[@lo_Navy]

could you test ford e-transit

[@dragoschirea]

Hello, can you please share what kind of camera are you using for filming?

[@bjornnyland]

Canon HF G60 and Canon 6D MarkII with Sigma 20 mm f/1.4 lens.

[@sayanchx]

Please do this test again with Kona EV ... please please :)

[@luisfernandes4145]

ABC: always be a sunday driver...😁

[@VernalFilm]

Hi, my Kia Soul makes a hellova fan noise when charging using home charger or emergency charger. Is that normal?

[@michaelalvekrans3014]

Harman Kardon is premium stuff. American brand not Chines or Korean

[@savedfaves]

Owned by Samsung since 2017. South Korea.

[@larsjohansson9627]

Is it winter tires on this e-soul?

[@bjornnyland]

Yes, Nokian R3.
