Hongqi E-HS9 1000 km challenge

[@kruemelfelix]

Those ABB chargers at the first stop are always broken, no matter in which location. In Germany Shell and Total also have them and they never work or the cable cooling is kaputt. If the cable doesn't get cooled it will fall back to around 37kW which you experienced there. Don't use chargers from the following manufacturers: Efacec ABB Evbox In my experience it's not worth to go to them and then just drive away because everyone is broken or not working. However in Germany all the CPOs except Shell and Total have noticed them and all are only building new locations with Alpitronic as manufacturer and Allego is also replacing all old Efacec chargers with new and now working Alpitronic ones.

[@francescoboselli6033]

As an Italian is good to know that an Italian company produce reliable charges.

[@lucas7793]

ABB are actually not that bad considering they are only thrown together from some of-the-shelf industrial components. The problem is the cable at these chargers. They should probably consider using Phoenix Contact cables instead of the very often failing H+S.

@@francescoboselli6033 ABB ones are made in Italy ;)

[@kruemelfelix]

@@francescoboselli6033 Alpitronic is simply amazing! They can supply full 500A, theoretically even on their 150kW chargers. And they are modular :) Keep up the work in Italy ;)

18 minutes delay at Uddevalla ? You lucky guy.... I was there last sunday, drving all the way from my beautiful Norway holiday back home to my last stop in Sweden and had a delay of 45 minutes.

[@HandsomeMoose]

The price for this car was just reduced heavily here is Sweden. Now (June 2023) 599 000 SEK for the Comfort version. That is a reduction of 300 000 SEK. They say the reduced price is temporary. Either way that is a lot of car for the money.

[@lucas7793]

E.ON and Clever should replace this chargers at Haby with alpitronic. They already replaced some in Fredericia and Nyborg in Denmark. As these are always broken, they should also consider doing this at Haby.

Hi Bjron, I have this SUV and recently drove to Rome, Paris and back to Norway. I traveled 7500km. I don't know why but every single Ionity station wouldn't give me more than 106-108kWh, but Tesla, BP (Amsterdam), Enel X (Italy) and many others would give me about 128 to 136kWh. I got to know this car so well that I can tell you all the pros and cons. Love your videos homie

[@Gargantu4]

What is the biggest pro and cons you have experienced? I'd love to test drive it, but here in Switzerland it is not sold yet :( Also, is it your first EV? if not, what EV you had before?

[@JosueJavierPICOS]

@@Gargantu4 Biggest pro is that the car is very quiet and comfortable for 7 passengers (I have a big family) and it looks awesome. The biggest con is the software, entertainment system and GPS. My GPS didn't work once we crossed to Austria. Everything could be fixed with an update and I hope they work on it. Android Auto will be available soon. This is my first EV

[@YouWille]

The way it looks I would totally buy it but I don`t see many for sale with high miles. It looks like to me that those who bought them new selling at having 25k km on the clock evenly. So, it makes me think there is something with the battery or something is about to happen to them over that km. Also about the chargers, they don`t just charge the car but they are also subject to regulations, and they can read the type of battery that is connected to them. So, manufacturer and testing results are in the database they are connecting to, so they have to use the most sustainable way to charge the car - basically, they are relatively new the the EU and through these charging sessions they are testing the car`s batteries for turue development and public safety. About the car I would only have two things that are missing from it; one is the folding step, and the other is the adjustable suspension system.

Bjorn you should go and find some very used Chinese ev 100k km or more 6/7 years at least to check the performance but also the overall quality to check how they hold up. The fact that they sell for 10% less than premium German cars is quite laughable....if only for brand status that mb BMW or Audi bring within the pricetad

[@egil-andrenessmortensen3037]

Then he probably would have to go to China 😅 Norway was first export country and that was 2021 i believe

[@davidoznl]

I think the more higher spec Chinese brands like NIO, BYD and Xpeng are gonna hold up pretty well. Their building quaility looks pretty good. The MG's on the other hand seem to rust very quickly.

[@ruemignon]

It is true that German internal combustion cars represent a certain status, hence they are very popular in China. However, nowadays in China, the previous Mercedes and BM owners are switchting to NIO, Zeekr 001 and other Chinese domestic brands because Chinese electric cars are just better than their German counterparts.

Seems like this car charges very slowly after 50%? Not sure if u have charged upto 100% after the first charge.
