Please make a video with the Fiat 500e 2021, is the best BEV from Stellantis . Thanks

[@brunoborgatti4880]

yes! Fiat 500e next please 🙏🙏

Shieett I'm this early?

FWIW I just did a 4000km trip with my 2023 Corsa-e from Göteborg to Trento, Italy (taking the Trelleborg-Rostock ferry) and back via Holland and Denmark (using the 2 toll bridges). Mostly on Eco mode except when it's very hot, when it cuts AC too much. Motorway speed 115, overtaking 120/130. For me the car behaved perfectly, charging at Tesla where possible, average consumption turned out to be 14.9kWh/100km according to the trip computer, 16.4 when calculating the receipts from the charges. Distance between stops usually 200-250km, which perfectly matches my need for a stop. I used ABRP and had 0 stress, ABRP consequently overestimates the consumption though. For next trip I will buy a OBD dongle to cure that. Hills don't really seem to increase consumption, slow traffic and traffic jams only lower consumption. Even though the Corsa is not perfect, I'm very happy with my purchase. Note that the heavy traffic and traffic jams in Germany had a positive impact on consumption, on 1 leg of the trip (over Bremen and Hamburg...) I covered 256km using only 77%.

[@soundworks52]

Any chance of a retest of range test on e208 at 120kmph. I can't believe a new e208 with latest firmware would be trailing the Corsa-e by so much.

[@soundworks52]

@@kierank01 120kmph test, charge speed test 10% to 90% on a HPC and a noise test. only 4 hours I'd guess. It's up to Bjorn to decide if he'd get enough views out of two videos to make it worth his while.

[@ewheelerfinland]

Might help to use other version of the e208 than the GT. The tyres in the GT slice the efficiency a bit.

[@TILL_OFARIM]

Der 208 hat weniger Reichweite als der e up und der corsa kommt 18km weiter. Die Dinger sind uneffizient ohne Ende

[@lpdirv]

Bjorn, if you are going camping, can you try an EV with an SUV tent. Use Camp Mode and let us know what you think of car glamping. Not as stealth as sleeping in the car but it works great for us in Canada. Your videos have been great and its so nice to get the real details about living with an EV.

[@ftb2772]

Haha, I cannot un-see it!

[@robsmith1a]

I assume the racing stripes added 10% to the range?

[@bjornnyland]

At least 10 more horsepowers.

[@plasticcreations7836]

Did you do a test to see if the racing stripes make it go faster? ;)

[@SightsToKeepInSight]

yep, i see the moustache :)

[@SirHackaL0t.]

Why do car manufacturers think that us drivers want to set the drive mode *every* time we start the car? Why? And SoC, why would we want to know how much charge % we have left. 🤦‍♂️ lol

[@trendykennel]

My parents bought one and it stopped charging, is with the dealer for 6 months now and they can’t find the fault. They asked for a replacement now.

[@stefangeorgiev3593]

The display behind the wheel is ridiculous! Looks very basic (no round corners even), the UI screams "No designer was involved in this!", pretty disappointing. I compare with Zoe ZE50, which is 2 years old now, and was looking better from the start. Why?

[@tomasznowicki1735]

money...

[@Luis-xr9ye]

[@MrJanJunker]

Hi Tesla Bjørn. Can you explain why there is that big difference in the wh/km for the e-208 and the Corsa-e? It "should" be the same battery, and drive line? You have also different battery capacity but both "should" have a battery at 50KW according the opel and peugeot. And with a bigger battery the range would also be longer.

[@OneManTime]

display like chevy volt 1

[@AllPr0]

I managed to plug in an OBD reader on my Corsa-e and at 100% it shows 47.2 kWh capacity, I don't effectively know the usable amount but the battery percentage reflects the capacity shown by the OBD, for example at 50% the OBD dongle shows 23.5 kWh

[@domtdoodar99]

Which app did you use to read the OBD, I haven’t come across a obd reader setup yet that works in corsa-e and e208

[@herrtichy]

This Corsa does not have the current software. The countdown bug while charging has been fixed. That means, it also has the old charging curve :/

[@sagferi]

Hi Björn, AFAIK the full (not the usable) battery size of the Zoe is 56 kWh...

[@EwanV]

The wing mirror covers are snap on parts, which is why the look of the fit is so crappy.

[@hwcollector7237]

If I could afford a new EV I would get Corsa-e.. but my first ev probs will be Leaf or Zoe.. Maybe Soul-e?

[@Simon-dm8zv]

@Luật Dương Don’t forget the Ioniq 28 kWh :)

[@georgewalker7061]

No acceleration test of the actual lightest of the sister cars when on the 16" rims / tyres. But have you actually put it on the weigh bridge because what shows for the Opel / Vauxhall e-Corsa is fiction really, as is the 0-100 km / 0-62 mph with the Opel / Vauxhall compared to the Peugeot 208. There is more than noise difference with the 16" over the 17" in the Corsa or 208's there is acceleration differences, and range.

[@dalleenpente]

M for Mercedes? No, M for Moustache!

[@martijnkosters9024]

Man, I do not like the interior. So busy and many pieces of ugly design. Take the horrible speaker placement in the A-pillar for instance.

[@computerbob06]

Why does it have the same suggested range as the E-C4? It's smaller and lighter than the Citroën so should have a greater range!

[@xxxJinGejxxx]

207Wh/km at 120km/h?? whaaaat? for that small car? wow... what a juice guzzler...

[@879cc]

I hope you will also test the 2022 version with better efficiency. I'm thinking about buying a MY22 Corsa.

[@TheAllMightyGodofCod]

I am sorry to say but that instrument cluster looks horrible. plain, generic, cheap looking

[@trendykennel]

Is this a new camcorder? The colours are looking great!

[@bjornnyland]

I have owned this camera (HF G60) for almost a year now. Weird that you haven't noticed it ;)

[@skytreker]

I cant get below 155 Wh/km at 90km/h with my 2021 Corsa-e. I've tried and tried, Eco mode, prefect weather, just like on Bjorn's test... all the same. Tried even running without AC at all - same. How does Bjorn manage to get consistent 140 with almost all PSA cars? Am I missing something?

[@kenbarks9150]

Tires? Tire Pressure? I have the same car but i haven't tried to drive consistenly at that speed. In the last 6000km i got 13.5kWh/100km aprox and in the last 1000km 12.5kWh/100km. In summer i made a mixed route going with AC 20 degrees inside with 38°C outside, 3-4 persons, 60% aprox at 100-110km/h,. 37% at 80-95km/h and the rest at urban speeds and i got 15.5kWh/100km aprox. Those 170km aprox spent 60% of battery aprox

Dude, it´s a Corsa they´ve never been upstanding on design, they´re meant to be for students and working class people, or people that want a car and nothing more.

[@MrNikitir]

Why no tesla 3 on charts?

[@costinioana]

All cars tested are in the google spreadsheet that's linked in the comments, as they have always been. The snippet here illustrates the differences between models which share the same powertrain.

[@joshfrench5773]

The corsa e is freaking scary man. Especially when you are low on juice. As i was barreling down the A40 in Carmarthen just now at 75-80MPH in a 2023 corsa E with 25 miles G.O.M & about 21% battery level remaining, My G.O.M dissapeared in the space of 3 miles and my Battery jumped from 21% down to 9%. The turtle mode immediately kicked in and damn near killed me as i did a tricky u turn. Was averaging 3.5KWH/m so i dont think i stressed the car out too much. Just hope this isnt the start of a bad battery!

[@_maghetweten]

I like the sport stripes design. Shame about the banana box test though. Good thing to see good ol buttons for things like a/c, radio and so on.

[@colla555]

The stripes and red clip-on mirror caps are optional accessories.
