On A Mission To Cover Distance! EV Road Trip From Gothenburg To Munich In Taycan - Pt. 1

[@borama7845]

Love your content guys👍 As an average German, I drive ~10.000 miles/year. I rarely do trips > 250 miles. Most new EVs can do that with a full battery. With home charging available I used high power chargers a whopping 4 times last year. All concerns I had before switching to an EV turned out to be no issue at all. Usually the car charges while I sleep, combined just 5 hours/week with 11kW AC.

It wouldn’t be OoSM without a dirty windshield:]

[@BiasOfficialChannel]

Hi! 👋🏻 Your videos are videos I can watch the whole without skipping a single second, even if they are up to an hour long. I found your channel when the first road trip from Norway came out, and I liked it very much. -Norwegian viewer

[@adamfitzgibbon702]

I agree so much with this!!

[@bastiman85]

The digital sign when you exited the parking area said “Parking was free of charge”

[@malcolmhedges7346]

for reference you can change the language on the Ionity chargers by touching the DE or Sk etc in the bottom left of the screen.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

My dream car right now! It's an awesome configuration too! You have taste Kyle - I know you always claim you don't. But it's always in the eye of the beholder. And yes the Taycan is great for car enthusiasts too - most of us at least. Others will follow hopefully.

[@felixklusener5530]

I just took the ferry from Trelleborg (Sweden) to Rostock (Germany) this week after my trip to Norway. It was just €45 for one car including the driver and I saved €90 by not crossing the danish bridges. This was definitely the best option to get back to Germany.

[@MrEfection]

You guys inspired me to get an electric car! Thanks for that!

[@voltspc9394]

What car did you get?

[@MrEfection]

@@voltspc9394 went for the rwd taycan

[@TheShootingBrake]

That Taycan wagon is just beautiful. I’d have that over a Tesla every day

[@voltspc9394]

It has its problems but it’s a beautiful car, and great handeling

[@jeffsjalops]

Agree with you Kyle - loved the Volvo spotting in their hometown of Gothenburg! 🇸🇪

[@kjellgolsen8521]

Love your chanel - happy to discover. Like that you can respect other culture and countries and know your topics.

[@alexisfavelier7413]

The Taycan handling & charging abilities are really on top, but what about the infotainment ? The screen seems so laggy : destination input, map browsing, etc ... the hardware is already outdated in such a tech car :(

[@voltspc9394]

In my experience it’s not horrible, it’s no tesla, but it’s a lot snappier than some of the other cars I’ve used

[@KJSvitko]

Love European cities and their multi mobility options, Walking, cycling, trams, buses and cars all coexist. Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed.

We only need the high speed rail infrastructure better connected between countries, it is looks like the EU is working on it. Be able to travel all over Europe with 320 kph would be very nice, that would get rid of long car trips and flights within Europe. Just rent a car or bike at destination.

[@markmcintosh7095]

Great video I really enjoyed it.

[@ZenithMusicNet]

Compliments on the great choice of background music.

[@TassieEV]

Bringing your own cable means you have a cable that works rather than one that could be vandalised and unable to plug in. Only takes a EV hater a short time to smash the plug enough to be unusable or even drive over it with their ICE devil.

[@sivlinhe]

There is an Ionity station in Vordingborg, which is between Ionity Greve and the ferry in Rødbyhavn.

[@buddy1155]

People in Europe have 400 volt triple phase connections in their house*, so anyone can charge with 11Kw and with minor upgrade 22 Kw. We just use in most cases one phase = 230 Volt, but we do have acces to all three phases. That is why we can charge at home so easily

[@bluebikerathar]

Not throught ( for Belgium at least). Many houses has a 230V single fase 40 amp gridconnection. So 40Ax230V = 9200W or 9,2kW . So 11kW just not possible. Thats why many buy a loadbalanced charger. 7kW speed is possible that way (32A) , when to much amps the charger drops amps. And than you have ( in Belgium) a 230V and a 400V grid. 230V grid is not suitable charging Tesla and Zoe, its lacking N eutre,. And i have a single 230V-40A connection without N. Worst connection possible 😉

[@buddy1155]

@@bluebikerathar haha every time I post this there is someone form Belgium :) Yes, Belgium is different ...

[@bdeithrick]

If you sleep 8hrs and don’t relax or cook anything you’ll get 58.4kwh. So then use 30kwh and come home with 20odd% another 58. Is too much. So 7.3kW at home is fast enough

[@bdeithrick]

Not every house in Europe. You won’t see it in Britain or Ireland. Just 230v 80-100amp service

[@SigurdFlaatten]

Depends where in Europe. All of Norway is 240v

[@erolcoulson8982]

Love allya she always reminds kyle they have to eat 😂

[@JuliSpiele]

23:50 The MAN eTGE charges at max 40kW. I work at a big German escooter company in Berlin and we have 4 of them. They have the same batteries as the eGolf. They can do like 130km in the City.

[@SamuraiTacos1]

taycan charges like a boss 😀

[@lukas_foukal]

At that hotel you could have used the Tesla plug (because it’s just Type 2) and maybe gotten a bit more. It’s possible it’s also wired as 16A 11kW only, but if that’s a EVSE limitation the Tesla ones do support 24A or more

[@peter_storm]

Not wanting to go to Denmark, the happiest country in the world, sheesh! :D Love your vidoes guys, next time you come to Copenhagen, come in and take a ride in our 4S Cross Turismo! :D

[@ulfw]

"we have no time at all!" - ... "let's go explore Gothenburg a bit"

[@dantony136]

Great Video

[@rossrogers2453]

Love this

[@DaviDeXtA]

The guy in the ID3 is using the 50kw charger because it’s probably half the price of the Ionity network. €0.69 / kWh is probably the most expensive in Europe.

[@joachimmagnusson3128]

It was not an airport in Rödby. They are building a Tunnel between Denmark and Germany

[@jervin2]

Most people that I talk to, talk about long trips they drive (600 to 1000 miles) and how many times and how long it takes compared to and ICE vehicle. I normally point out the hybrids.

[@InternetDude]

Beautiful car! OMG I've had a couple Model S (one a P100D) but Teslas are boring now. Very nice!!!

[@rud]

I have seen many vans at that Ionity in Denmark. They seem just to be parked there but I could be wrong.

[@ObserverDingue]

I really enjoy your videos Kyle. Yours, Bjørn's and also Rory Reid's (Autotrader, UK). I'm hoping to buy a new EV (my first) next year. I'm liking the Porsche CT 🙂But I like the Audi GT as well. That might end up being a coin toss or the test drives will decide it. I'll have to get a second hand EV car while I wait out the really long delivery lead-time.

[@voltspc9394]

Public Charging in EU is way better than the EA situation in US

[@pauc7111]

in 2029 the tunnel replacing the denmark-germany ferry will be finished so it'll be cheaper and faster

[@bdeithrick]

That thermometer in car is fcuked. It’s at 27° then 11 the -2 then 17 then 21. Then -2. It’s mad

[@Josh-179]

Just remember why these countries are ahead of the US in EV adoption. Gas is twice the price over US prices. If we were paying $6-$7/ gal, obviously everyone would be looking at EVs.

[@pabbip9]

Agreed. California is getting “close” to those prices and has the most ev’s. I’m excited to see more cheap ev’s coming to market. I wouldn’t mind keeping my gas cars for off-road and fun stuff and a ev for all my normal driving

[@DeniJasmina]

Absolutely agree with you.

[@rud]

True.

[@rud]

Hmm so the language selection on the ionity seems to be marked by letters instead of a flag. Seems like the flag are more intuitive.

[@audivisual]

There are no 150kW Ionity chargers 😉 Either 350 or in addition 50 where legislation demands Chademo

[@GWAIHIRKV]

Just squeeze the water bottles. It’s only the still water that you can make move. Carbonated ones are too hard. Easy and without reading anything. . . .

[@ThisIsTuesday]

Hjälp, I can't find the utfart

[@BeechSportBill]

Most water is still, so that proves the Earth is flat…

[@markgreenwood4642]

Let the petrol heads rule!

[@ntelas46]

Great car but COME ON Porsche, why can't you make a lag free interface? It's laughable how laggy it is.

[@thomaskerkhoff579]

Do you know if Europe is moving toward a charging standard across car brands?

[@_TbT_]

It has that standard already: CCS for fast charging (and Type2 for slow AC charging). All Model 3, Y, the newer Model S, X and mostly all non Teslas have CCS. There are some Chademo remnants left, but only in small numbers and Chademo is on its way out. That is also the reason why Tesla has opened up 10 superchargers in the Netherlands for other cars already and plans to do more (if not all) SuCs in the months ahead. That is because the SuC V2 have dual cables (Tesla proprietary and CCS) and V3 only have CCS.

[@DeniJasmina]

“Hjalp”.. 😆

Upload next video fastly part 2. Ur losing view due to delay segway videos

[@reyalPRON]

"in norway you can drive in the bus lanes apparently" No you cannot. its a BUS lane. Taxi and bus only. If you visit another country again please inform yourself about the laws that apply for that country/region. Do not half ass or wing it. You cause chaos on our roads.... tourists....
