Yes, I would like to see the LFP SR+ in a 1000 km challenge 😊 Who would say no to that 🤔😀

[@audunskilbrei8279]

+1 I want to see that.

[@AdrianScarlatAS]

+1 . LFP SR+ FTW!

[@lezzeti]

And a side by side comparison with the Tesla M3 SR+ 2020, just to see the improvements on the 2021 LFP version.

[@ericvet8b]

Me too!!

[@Deadeye0815]

You have to test the Dacia Spring ;) 1000km of course :D

[@krugerdave]

Looks like some mild coldgating. In my EQA I pretty consistently get between 110 and 114kW around 20-40%. But that's in Germany at higher speeds, and with the car picking out most chargers (and thus preheating reliably).

[@teslabot6517]

Living in Australia Bjorn, It is amazing to see all those new high capacity chargers on your travels. We are a long way behind with our electric charger roll out, down here in Australia.

[@markeaton6734]

Sad but true :( outside of the cities of all 50kw chargers and not even many of them

[@JohSno]

Some PHEV are a good compromise. Especially if taking the manufacturing emissions into account.

[@marcohoekstra]

Scanned the QR but it still works :D 89% 59 kWh, if your press it I can see the charging curve. Cool stuff!

[@HenrikMilles]

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

[@u.wunschel7311]

Fantastic Car this Mercedes EQA👍

[@DanBoro]

I would like to see Bjorn do a 1000km challenge in the new MG ZS EV Long Range

[@olestampevestergaard4746]

Oh man I cannot wait for renault megane e-tech tests, it is looking like the car that covers mostly what I need, and is affordable

[@olestampevestergaard4746]

@@RedBatteryHead I'm looking at specifically the 60kwh, what are some examples that come to mind? I'm aware that the MG zs ev could be a contender, but I will bend far to try not to support China directly (can of worms, I know, and many issues that make it difficult to always be on the right side of that)

[@felixklusener5530]

The Kempower session is still available. 89 %, +59.0 kWh, lading ferdig

Great underrated electric SUV

These ABC jokes are killing me 😄 🤣 😂 keep it up

Björn, you are the best ABC jokes man ever !! 🤣 Always Bugs Cleaning Always Be Charging Always Blame Covid... Feel free to complete the list 😉

Always Buy Solo! 🤣

[@rwindypops8569]

Bjorn its not the lane divider, its called the central resevation ie the armco barrier, great to see you back in the cold buddy.

[@godblesshamas]

Norwegian orange juice looks like car coolant. Someone mail him a bottle of Florida orange juice so he'll know what its supposed to look like. 🍊

[@eirik500]

An interesting thing is iX3 and Polestar both had a much better time in winter - faster charging maybe and bigger batteries must help, as EQA consumption was similar or lower. (Also, a bug in the spreadsheet for Tesla 3 SR: Temp interval and Temp average doesen't compute.)

[@Marco_Dubbleyou]

When I lived in Trondhjem I saw all the orange trees up there… really tasty

[@Alex-is-a-daddy]

Bjorn, my cheap Chinese car got a OTA upgrade and they reduced the usable energy from 60kwh to 54kwh, have you ever seen anything like this? Do you think that is a fraud? This deceptive move is happening all over China!

[@edmundhayes1840]

Pinky up sophisticated

[@abenteuerelektrisch8977]

Why does Kampower and others install only 120kw chargers instead of 300kw? Is this common in Norway or specific to some regions? Over here, new stalls usually have 300kw - more and more charging hubs with 12-50 charge points are build. But still lots to do 🙋‍♂️ PS: Thank you gor your great work! I watch a video of you every day 💚

[@bjornnyland]

How many cars support 300 kW today?

[@abenteuerelektrisch8977]

@@bjornnyland you are right, but Ioniq5, EV6, etron, tycan and others are in the 200+ range. So The predominant chargers are 300 kw Alpitronic here also to increase accepance because many newbees get upset if their car does not reach max. possible charging speed

[@mre6041]

So the first charging stop came after 240km. 100% to 8%. That is aweful in perfect highway conditions. That is half of what Mercedes claims. New standards for range must happen. What if a fossil fuel car declared 1l/10km highway and in fact it was double that...

[@adrianguggisberg3656]

That's exactly what happens if you do a 1000km challenge with a fossil just driving city stop and go traffic. With an EV you get much better consumption than WLTP in this case. That's just the way this works. Range is an average, obtained from some standard driving cycle. I agree that for EVs the only range that matters is motorway range. Range/consumption for EVs should be evaluated at 120kph/15 degrees Celsius. However, range is only part of the equation. You really want to know average speed including charging. Anything above 95kph is close enough to fossil speed as to make no real difference.

[@mesaber86]

Welcome home to your cold habitat Bear Nyland 😂

[@user-vu4tf3eb9l]

Do you recommend this car?

[@DjTonioRoffo]

Time that Bjorn gets an i4 to play with.

[@bilgyno1]

Ioniq 5 and the EV6 do indeed Coldgate. However, it has already been confirmed to Carmaniac that there will be an update to pre heat the battery when navigating to a HPC.

[@Luis-xr9ye]

Then it overheat like Bjorn tested! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@martingorbush2944]

Bjorn, our adopted viking. ;)

[@TorgeHjorth]

2kW for heating will result in 22 kWh extra consumption for an 11 hour trip.

[@VitorHändel]

Bjorn for the difference of money between the 250 and the 350 which one do you recommend? Mostly for driving in to town…

[@tiknu7829]

250

[@ericvet8b]

Did I sense some sarcasm in your video? (Weather, food!) 😜😜 Man, cost of fuel is crazy there! Around 2€ per litre?? 😱😱 ABC!! Always blame Covid!! 😂 is Sweden worse again too with Omicron?

[@kabiilsrikaran290]

How much cost this Mercedes EQA 4matic? and is this car efficient EV?

I love it, ABC, Always, Blame, Covid

[@ericvet8b]

Bjorn, Any of your Mercedes contacts can confirm if that sound proofing is also applied/improved on the EQA250 or just to the more expensive 350? Thinking about swapping my wife’s e-Golf for an EQA…

[@scf_suedbaden6656]

I drive one and I feel it is very silent now on Winter tires. Can highly recommend you the 250!

[@krugerdave]

I can't imagine you regretting it! I came from a GTE and the EQA is a nice upgrade. The main weakness is the low seating height (or high floor) for the rear seat. But it's fine unless you're using it as a taxi ;-)

[@markwebber4699]

All cars will be slower less efficient due to cold battery and bad weather.

[@bjornnyland]

Not all cars. Some cars.

[@mre6041]

@@bjornnyland Yea not fossil fuel cars :D

[@RahulJha-mc6nz]

Are you going to do mg zs ev facelift review or test?

[@currymacka15]

I hope so. I ordered one with delivery Q3, would love to see how it handle long trips. But I will mostly use it in a 100km radius. It is the Lux model with the bigger battery pack

[@oliverelfort4096]

How long does it take to charge with a 22kW Ac charger?

[@Johan87577]

Like 8h

[@alexzahnd2642]

The consumption of the Mercedes with 27 kWh per 100 km is WAY higher than any Tesla and NOT acceptable in these days, don't you think so? So HOW does Mercedes justify this inefficient use of electrical energy?

[@Nelson-Man]

Hey Bjorn, next time glue a piece of styrofoam under your car. Maybe it won't coldgate then for once :D

[@nathanwolf5547]

You should be careful of the HUD when you are talking about speed limits. 😂
