Absolutely agree that Ionity needs to start sharing the power across more stations. 4 stations with 350kW reserved could easily charge 12 cars with max or close to max charging power.

[@Marbellous]

Kempower ftw

[@chobi9903]

It's quite fun to see the charging queue at Ionity in Varberg. I was there a couple of days ago, and there was a charging queue, but 20m away at McD, there is 4 Clever chargers @175kW, which all were open. Those are also a lot more affordable than Ionity without subscription 😆

[@bjornnyland]

The e-on chargers also accepts regular credit cards. This should be mandatory across Europe. Also just 50 m away, Tesla has 20 v3 supercharger stalls open for everyone (except for Leaf and other CHAdeMO cars... lol).

[@chobi9903]

@@bjornnyland Yeah, all I can guess is that some people don't know that one is opened yet, since it wasn't available a while back when I passed by and checked the app. It at least opened later than the one down in Mellbystrand which is the first Supercharger I tried. Still prefer the Clever due to the card payment though 😄

[@itsbilln2178]

Suggestions: 1. Cabin should be at a comfortable temperature at all times in every car tested, including when charging. 2. Add columns to speed sheet for total charging time and total charger queuing time.

[@Danjon1235]

[@seb.4210]

Hey TB i appreciate your work/Videos! is it possible to add for some cars “caravan tests” like, consumption, range &&? greetings from zurich

[@onlineo2263]

I will answer this. Caravan range is just don't tow long distances with any EV. It depends on how tall and wide the caravan is as well as how aero it is and to a small degree the weight... But think of small caravan range reduced by 40% on all cars when going 100kmh, and large caravans range reduced by 60% at the same speed. Obviously if your EV is brick shaped and massive with a massive battery then it may do long distances better as the caraven would be proportionally smaller behind the car.

[@SKBreakDaRules]

Current Kempower charging poles (satellites, as they call them) are rated for 300A continuous, and can only provide 500A for 10 minutes. As far as I read, higher power ones, up to 400kW are said to start deliveries in Q3 2022.

[@bjornnyland]

Kempower already has liquid cooled cables that can provide 500 A continous current. The 300 A you talked about is the non-liquid cooled cables. But even 500 A for 10 minutes is enough for most EVs today.

[@SKBreakDaRules]

@@bjornnyland Thanks for the info. I looked at the datasheets that are in the Kempower download centre and I did not find the higher specs. Also, having watched some of your recent Mercedes and BMW charging tests, the current was above 300A for 15-20 minutes on those.

[@bjornnyland]

I think the 500 A limit is not absolute. Look at this charging session: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYfKaqaYe7Kie9k&ab_channel=Bj%C3%B8rnNyland The i4 takes 500 A only for 2 minutes. That's way below the 10 minute limit. And after 10 minutes of charging, the current dips below 300 A. What I'm saying is that the 500 A peak limit and 300 A continous limit is usually not a problem with today's cars. And by the time it is a problem, we will have 500 A continous limit.

[@OenkePoenke]

Alpitronic have introduced 400 kW Hyperchargers already, will come to market still this year. 8 times 50 kW modules, IIRC.

Welcome to Scandiland in summer... Ladestau! Also the reason why I won't move back there. Fed up of everyone doing the same thing at the same time. Because you are basically forced to take all but one week of leave in the summer...

[@BjornJorgensen]

We are expected to take three weeks of holiday, out of 5 or 6 weeks, but rarely forced to. I never had trouble moving my vacation.

[@ojeskog]

@@BjornJorgensen I hear what you say but social protocol expects you to take most of your time off in the summer and several employers even shut the business for the summer so you don't even have the option to work should you want to. I used to work for one of those. Scandiland is very different to most of the other world.

[@KekszNET]

In Hungary there is one SuC at the highway M1 (Gyorujbarat) which is sometimes completely blocked by Benzinstau as the ICE cars stands until back to the highway exit and sometimes they just block the way out from the chargers in the queue.

You should definitely deduct waiting time. The point is to test the car not the network.

[@LJLion]

Here is my 2 cents : since the Supercharger is more reliable compared to other networks; wouldn't it be more practical to dedicate the 1000 km challenge to the supercharger exclusively?

[@bjornnyland]

No. Because some superchargers don't give max speed to all cars. And superchargers are 400 V. Some sites also has v2 which is max 150 kW.

Holiday season. Probably a lot of German electric cars on the road^^

Nice etron with a caravan! Was looking for EVs with caravans this summer but I did not find anyone. Even in a 1000+ lot campsite.

[@minus2837]

My friend had a small caravan which he intended to tow with an etron. The total range was less than 200km. Since it's not practical to charge from 0-100%, the practical range was 150km. At highway/motorway speeds, that's not very practical - charging for 20-30 mins+ every 1-2 hours + queuing to find a charging spot with place for a caravan. However, if you need to switch back to an ICE car to tow a caravan, maybe it's a good time to review whether it's really sustainable to tow a house on wheels around for thousands of kilometres in 2022 anyway, or just use airbnbs!

@@minus2837 yep, all this was in my mind already back in 2016 when I choose to buy my current car. I was very pessimistic about the future of caravan towing. It does.maybe look slightly better now, but long journeys will probably never be as popular as they have been, think 2000-3000km one way such as from Sweden to the Mediterranean.

[@minus2837]

@ Norway seems to still be packed full of caravans and camper vans this year. We're all using EVs and they think it's fine to drive thousands of km from the continent and drive the length of Norway with diesel engines, even at 27 NOK per litre, so it still seems as popular as ever.

[@bjornnyland]

Did you not watch the video? I could have avoided 1 hour ladestau if I used Tesla superchargers.

[@HotHatchTV]

@@bjornnyland Take it easy, no need to react so hard! Yes, I did watch the whole video, but even then if you would have used them, you could not do it everywhere, so you still had "ladestau". You say it yourself, the tritium chargers have lots of problems, which doesn't help either of ladestau.

[@850bimmer]

In my contract I got preliminary delivery week 11 next year, so that is 9 months delivery, not 18. But it may be earlier, as I felt that delivery was a bit "cover our ass" statement, might get it this year, fingers crossed, production starts week 35, first week of September, who knows how many coupes are ordered. So 22.7Kw/100km means approx. 340km range on the motorway then? doing 100-120kph? I guess the WLTP of 500km is maybe possible at 80-90kph to get a consumption around 15.5Kw/100km.

[@piscario75]

[@blairjayson]

Since he's traveling the same route, same speeds and deducting time for stau, the only difference between each car is the total time spent charging. So IMO he should always report the total time charging during his 1000 km challenges. He can deduct "queue" time for charging since that will eventually be reduced as more charging capacity is added.

[@Cornelius87]

He does though, he only deducts if there's a charger connection error.

[@AndyBrandt]

Also, you can encounter queue to charger in any car and the point is to compare cars.

[@PaulCanters]

[@kruemelfelix]

You should simply charge at Superchargers wherever possible to circumvent Ladestau. You also should have done this today and also always try to tell that the guys in the queue, most don't know this, it needs to be shared. Tesla does an awful job at marketing to non-Tesla people, you can do that if you have time when you wait while charging. I at least would do that.

Stau is German for traffic jam. Ladestau = traffic jam at the charger.

[@DeilGrist]

Does it run the AC to cool battery when you plug in hot to lvl 1 or lvl 2 charger?

[@mjbln89]

Ladestau and Benzinstau, you get the german passport instand.

[@Kalvarija]

Why do you deduct from final result time for waiting for charger? As I remember point of this challenge was to compare ICE with electric car. How fast can you travel… So you should include waiting time to get to the charger as this is new reality and it will be more and more waiting time to charge as there is going to be more electric cars on the road…

[@olamarvin]

[@bjornnyland]

[@B1605]

Isn't deducting time because of traffic working for car's favour? If you drive slower, then later on you have shorter charging session or you can skip charger. This way the same car could have different result of 1000km challenge when it goes with lower speed with time deductions then going full speed.

[@bjornnyland]

Quick math: The road works stretch was 10 km long. Lower speed means approx 15 Wh/km lower consumption. That means 10 km * 15 Wh/km = 150 Wh lower consumption. The time it takes to charge back 150 Wh is: 150 Wh / 175000 W * 3600 s/h = 3 seconds Just go ahead and add 3 seconds to the total time then...

[@bjornnyland]

Ah, maybe you meant for the whole trip? In that case, if we save 5 Wh/km for 1000 km, that's still just 5 kWh which takes 1 minute and 40 seconds to charge back...
