[@peterwright837]

The microwave stole the show. Definitely my favorite part. On the one hand I can’t believe you actually did the 1000 km challenge in the Honda e. On the other hand you’ve proven time and time again you’re always up for a challenge. Congratulations! And thanks!

[@kasmopaya2676]

This is why the 1000km challenge is so important, it really brings out the long range quality of any car. Thanks EV Ambassador. You have to fail really hard with a active liquid cooled car to go slower then a passive cooled rapidgating old E-Golf.(nice job Honda) Just get a E-Up or a Corsa-E for the money.

[@hollymolly518]

tesla is best for long traveling

[@dragosmihai3489]

Well, it did not rapidgate, so the cooling system works. The car is just inefficient, does not have a big battery and does not charge particularly fast to begin with. If it rapidagated, too, oh boy would that have been a long challenge.

[@Haveagrated]

I really like the car. Just seems to me like a Retro car in an EV skin. I own KIA Soul 30kWh (33kWh total) version and it seems pretty strange that I can do 1000km challenge and fit in between climbing highest mountain in te UK Ben Nevis and still be back in my house before someone else just do 1000km in Honda E. So by sticking to my KIA I can have time off to do mountain climbing and think about Honda E owners when on the top of the mountains :D Just teasing ha ha.

[@johnair1]

@@Haveagrated It looks like a car from the 70s/80s in an EV Skin. Now they just need to fix the Range issue.

[@AndreaMunegato]

I bet if he repeat the 1k km challenge with e-golf in summer it will go so much faster

[@AriesT1]

From the bottom of my heart, you have my sincere respect for doing the 1000km challenge with this car, considering the fairly low Autobahn range. Btw. Really should have brought a Nintendo Switch for the charging sessions. :D

[@edwardbyard6540]

The mains socket is the best thing about this car. It should be standard on every EV. It is SO useful !!

[@geneshifter]

I really wish I could get this in Dallas for my commute. I only drive 90km a day or so and drive a Chevy Spark EV just fine. I really like the dash on the Honda.

[@chrisd8265]

A10Pilot : I totally agree, love the dash, too. Quite modern but it doesn't look like it was taken straight from some C-level sci-fi movie.

Hat off, full respect for your job, I really enjoy to watch your video

Thanks for the video Bjorn

[@markusofficial9016]

I‘d love to see the comparison to e-up at the 1000km challenge. e-up charges even slower, but consumes waayy less.

[@F.M.Dk.]

Bjørn you are the best👏👏👏. Im so impressed that you took this f...g decision. 16 h driving its sounds crazy, I got tired looking at the video and showing how many stops did you had 😜🤪. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the video 😁😊👏👏👏.

[@pallibj]

At 10:20 if all these people knew about Maingau, then they probably knew about your KZbin channel, and then you'd have much more subscribers 🙂 Here is where I heard about Maingau and I love it. So thank you once again for your info and your channel 😁

[@mrglwatson]

Very interesting. your spreadsheet should include the number of charging stops as thats important

[@Martinsp16]

Wow bjorn, you’re incredible

[@Allride_]

I feel like there's people that could cycle 1000km faster than this but I still love that little 8-bit snowball

[@MrKroolboy]

Your a brave man mr Hondabjørn! 👍

[@JohnDoe-vx3z]

8:30 this was exactly the place where I had to wait in queue last year as well. This is typical on weekends in summer.

[@Isaac-un4cn]

Never expected you to drive the 1000 km with this car. Congrats on the achievement. I was surprised you didn't do the countdown in Thai this time.

[@bjornnyland]

I never countdown in Thai.

[@gisobo]

It's always in German. Nein! nein! nein!! NEIN!!!

[@josephmahrofzade5847]

Hi Bjørn 😃 I think we all really appreciate what you do, we get more information by watching your videos than through car journalists. I am very interested in Honda e and considering buying one, but now I am unsure. I hope Honda fixes these problems before they deliver their cars. What about the Mazda MX-30 the two electric cars have the same battery size. Can't wait to see this test. Good summer.

[@JackJohnson-br4qr]

Do you want a good car or just japanese? 😁

[@josephmahrofzade5847]

Jack Johnson. I had many different car makes and I found out that the Japanese cars like Toyota, Mazda and Honda are the best. I want a good quality car and who can beat the Japanese here ......

[@michelmelinot]

Bjorn you need to update your description "In this channel you will find tech videos, reviews, road trips, tests" by "In this channel you will find FOOD videos, and occasionally EV videos" haha

[@44kenz]

Food ASMR

[@generubinaudio]

This reminds me of the time I drove my friend 160 miles in my Tesla Model 3 to pick up a Spark EV she was buying. In the Tesla the drive took2 hours and 20 minutes. Her return trip, to go the 160 miles in her new Spark ev with its 3.3 kW charging took her 13 hours!!

[@samusaran7317]

Why didnt they get a spark with dc charging?

[@alfredogonzalez1280]

Bjorn, you fried the battery with all that microwaving !!!! That's why the throttling got worst and worst along the trip. Don't you think? Great video !!!

[@arinlane4026]

The cool part of the car is when he was outside and you can hear all the environment noise until he goes in and shuts the door to showcase how quiet it is.

[@tylerwilliams3897]

Had to like this video because of how insane it was lol.

[@PhilippePuechLille]

Thx. brave to test with this car...

[@Harb0eJac0b]

Thanks for this interesting test. 😊 I just noticed that the e-golf was, if I didn't see wrong, that it's the only car you did the test in minus degrees. Would be interesting how it would do when the weather is similar to this run.

[@Kopchronicles]

Just the coolest car ever. It seems to me it's a car of the Heart you just got to have it despite its flaws. An awesome city car and I believe iconic.

[@CoolSilver]

That beef stew looked good but need some biscuits with it. I didn't notice you had charged on the Gronn Kontakt delta charger and Circle K when it started to throttle at previous Ionity at stop. Good to see these cars put to the test.

[@bjornnyland]

Norwegians usually eat it with "flatbrød". But I didn't bother buying it because it's usually a big mess with lots of crumbs.

[@tonyp741]

You are a legend.

[@westerp]

Love it. I wonder if the average speed on this one still beats my 2018 40kWh Leaf.

[@alemant84]

Bjørn check the date on the Docs, you have written 2019... When you try the 1000km with i3 120Ah it’s charging Fast (50kW) at 92%!

Jeppe Ehh no. In fast 93%

[@bjornnyland]

Corrected now.

[@tellmelullabies5552]

"is that a sunset or a sunrise?" that is a questions that never occurred to me in the present.

[@kardy12]

I can’t believe you actually did the 1000km test with this car. Well done. “Me as a user didn’t get it” I don’t think it’s your fault Bjørn. This is a hallmark of bad interface design. Good interface design is intuitive and doesn’t require reading manuals to understand. Bad interface design is about software engineers expecting normal human beings think exactly like them, and if they don’t it’s their problem.

[@muche6321]

I guess you didn't read all the comments on the previous video, where he did it, saying he should have scrolled down to select what he wanted to show. You see, he tapped the place, a menu showed up displaying the possibilities, but he didn't scroll down to find out whether the data he wanted to see is available. The scroll arrows are visible, so is an approximate position within the list. Bad design would be for example accepting an attempt to scroll only by tapping the arrows, or only by dragging, not both.

[@jannetapio23]

I am now in Svolvaer, Lofoten and the charging queues are crazy. One 50 kW charger, the last time I tried there was a Taycan and two e-trons waiting... Cars are coming faster to the market than chargers.

[@RichChannel]

Could you do another 1000km challenge on the Zoe ZE50? Would be intresting to see if its faster in summer

Without having the video watched yet and heating you say "we're doing the 1000km challange TODAY" my first thought is: Let's see if it stays below 24h ^^

[@briansalay-smith8604]

Hard yards, well done & thanks. I wasn't too sure why it slowed down charging.. Is it definitely rapid gate?

[@allisterbullock213]

Roll-on the day a microwave becomes standard equipment in a car, maybe the glove-box could double up as one? Question to you Bjorn, did you notice if the 1.5kW it takes comes from the battery or does the charger supplement the extra load (like a Tesla with A/C)? Also I missed seeing you with the cup-noodles ;-) Great video as always, encore!

[@lozzamanuk]

Unless they ruined the cooling I don't think it'll do too badly. I borrowed a 94Ah i3s and it takes pretty much a full 50kW until a high state of charge and its a properly cooled pack.

[@PaoloSulprizio]

Maybe they are afraid of the 1k challenge

[@uhugvjkbkjh]

Imagine having spend 35k on this car and in 3 yrs every new electric car is doing 500 miles on a charge and the Honda is doing 100

[@kompost1]

The easiest way of reducing cost of EVs concerns the battery and ease/speed of charging. Most likely, manufacturers will strive towards 400km range, reduce production price and battery weight. A lighter car means motor, dampers, breaks and more can be scaled to tackle less kinetic energy. In turn, everything gets simpler and cheaper. A decent charging infrastructure and general understanding among drivers of EV driving expectations and planning makes the whole difference.

[@edcooper2396]

Think you’re a bit optimistic about the rate of progress, maybe in 10 years.

[@JAM_2024]

Honda is an out of touch legacy oem.

[@gregandkaruna6674]

Just have to match an ICE range oh wait many of those can do this 1000km on one tank of gas good luck making an affordable EV capable of 1000km on one charge. This test is totally pointless as this Honda is just a really expensive EV city car! Hybrids are the near future, EV are the future in 10 years or so..

[@Neojhun]

LOL Miles no, especially for the Legacy AutoMakers. 500km sure that will become the industry standard.

[@nutzeeer]

With the next gen battery tech this will be really cool right now its borderline too short ranged. well even with better tech the range will not be high... 100% more wont even be too much. but with 100% more it would be really cool

[@christ3193]

in your excel-sheet at 33:35 you have the wrong date(year) for the honda E Test. By the way, excellent and super funny video. Great. Thats one of the reasons why I switched to Tesla 10 month ago.-> your great videos.

I can beat that went from Isle of Mull to Geneva in a 30kwh leaf, in 2018 it took me three days..... two days from Calais to Geneva as half of French motorway charging network wasn't working.

A few weeks later bought an old high mileage Model S, poblem solved.. but now have problems with door handles MCU etc etc...

For the ones with bigger batteries, longer range, you need couple of charging stops to take the headstart from the full battery in account.

10 Stops for 460km route ? So you stop every 45km ?

[@MichaelEricMenk]

@@JohnDoe-vx3z yes, that's because the chargers are not perfectly spaced, and it charges fastest up to 40%. Abetterrouteplanner calculate the fastest time based on charge speed. It's faster riding the 40 or 30kW wave.. I have driven over the mountains serval times, and I charge 10 times. But some of the charge stops are under 5 minutes..
