[@raba1der]

You were at the wrong place for the Espa-buns.. You passed Espa at about the 54:00 min mark, while driving along Mjøsa. :)

[@erolcoulson8982]

Norway has beautiful scenery...

[@MichaelEricMenk]

1:01:10 yes, you can charge both on the same time. Kempower can have up to 16 satellite post connected to one charger, with up to 480kW per charger. The charger split the power between the connected EVs, and it also support prioritizing. The prioritizing is intended to be used at a bus depot.

[@MATZEnorway]

Thanks for this video. Nice to see people visiting our region.

[@plushiie_]

1:09 hehe those are temporary buildings for construction personell. Looks like it's the Public Roads Administration who set those up.

[@2ndltk]

I was about to comment on part 2 of this series about the lack of vehicles at the fast chargers. You are absolutely right. Here in Norway you simply do not have an EV and not a homecharger. I would say that more than 9/10 EV owners have home charging. Also, compared to the US we drive pretty short distances to work and other daily activities. There arent that many places in Norway where the speed limit is above 80kmt/h. These things combined reduces the need for fast charging. Norwegians are well known for their love for skiing and having cabins way up in the mountains. So the fast chargers are definately nice to have for the skiing season. You might even say they are a must, as it gets pretty cold here during the winter. The temperature can easily crawl down to 20-30 below 0 (Celsius), which eats pretty drastically into range and efficiency. Anyways, loved the vids! Nice work!!

[@geirbraadlie9193]

During summer holiday and in weekends there are often lot of cars at the superchargers, and you have to wait in line. Thats mostly on the non-Tesla chargers. If you watch som of Bjørns most recent videos; when he not driving Tesla, you will see at lot more traffic on the superchargers. Nice videos, and welcome back to Norway!

[@Andre1980stavanger]

Thanks for the part 3! Some of what you said in the video is not correct though, but we can't expect you to know everything. I think you mistook Trondheim for Tromsø, A city 700 miles further north. Also, you were at the wrong place for the espa buns. You actually drove right passed it (its at a shell gas station), and they are open 24/7. Last but not least, you didn't really make a round trip of southern Norway, since you skipped the whole southern part including the towns of Sandefjord, Tønsberg, Arendal, Lillesand, Kristiansand, Mandal, Egersund, Sandnes, Stavanger, and Haugesund. Hope you will be back one day, and also visit these places.

I really enjoy your channel, it just keeps getting better. You have changed my mind about EVs over the past year or so. :)

[@TheJensL]

It's so nice watching you drive through Romsdalen. We own a summer-house not far from Trollstigen and we do love it there. Bluebird is not something we see every day, but the scenery is something else out there!

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

Most people home charge with 7.4 or 11 kWh in Norway, the schuko is kindof "emergency charging". But as you say in superchargers we have in Norway, there are a lot of them :-) And people can drive for many, many hours, even over mountains and with a heavy foot, AC set at 22C and you can drive for so long... And then you need a break and just charge while you eat somewhere.

[@Lesiba2]

Norway is scenic. I wish that I was privileged enough to drive on that road.

[@sam28600]

The reason it is so little traffic is that the season is over, max season is late June to late August. That is the warmest and the the period with the most sunlight. Now from october you can risk snow in the mountains...

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

In June 2020 it was the year of waterfalls and snow in the mountains, crazy👍🇳🇴😁

[@m1geo]

Off the back of this series, I've booked 2 weeks off work and will do a Norway Road Trip this December. Hopefully the weather isn't too cold/snowy. If you see a UK registered Model S looking lost and holding up traffic, that'll be me! 😂

[@RuneVenes]

Do you have winter tires? In december you need winter tires by law to drive in Norway. Other than that, drive on, on the right side of the road!

[@BiasOfficialChannel]

@@RuneVenes I was about to ask the same question

[@m1geo]

No, but getting some fitted. I understand I need at least 4mm grip, too! I've been doing some research! I've driven on the right (wrong!) side plenty, it's just driving on snow/ice that I don't have huge experience with. That, and hoping the Dutch will let us through, given their COVID rules. We're both double vaccinated.

[@spamus598]

@@m1geo Also keep in mind that many mountain crossings close for the winter, either periodically depending on weather, or for the whole season. So some/many of the scenic routes featured in this vid may not be available to you in december. This includes Trollstigen, as far as I know.

[@m1geo]

@@spamus598 yes, I'd already seen that Trollsteigen closes. I assumed I'd be able to park near and enjoy the views! I guess I'll need to go back in the summer, too! But thanks for the warning! 👍 All input appreciated.

[@_MS__]

I love your road trips. Thanks for creating and sharing.

[@TassieEV]

Great trip, too bad you didn't have more time. Those long night drives missing all the scenery must have been maddening. The Northern Lights you were in too much light pollution from that street light. Guessing the Norwegian Rozzers were heading off looking for Mr Hammer Time perhaps. ;) Norway is all about the journey not the destination so slow down and enjoy the views and stop often to learn the culture, history, food, & people very much like bicycle touring which is the best way to travel.

[@erolcoulson8982]

I'm with Allissa, let's get some food 😋 😂

[@nordlands8798]

44:40 Maximum allowed for EV charging on regular "schuko" outlets in Norway is 10A / 2.3 kW. At least half the EV owners here get a wallbox with between 3.6 - 11 kW though. Home charging is around 1 NOK/kWh while fastcharging is usually 3 to 6 NOK/kWh.

[@magnussaltr2686]

wallbox you can have from 3,6 - 22 KW in Norway, but you have to have 400V at home.

[@Orikix]

In the weekends the superchargers is crammed, so you guys had luck

[@blackfish95]

I think Alyssa (Sp?) is not a fan of you filming her. I get it:) What an amazing whirlwind trip though. I’m with her and would stop at every waterfall and other body of water on this trip. Would probably take twice as long. Love it!

You excluded also the most southern part of Norway. Kristiansand, Stavanger etc....

[@Josh-179]

While people are impressed with Norway's charging infrastructure, there's a reason. Norway's government taxes the hell out of gas which is currently $8/gallon. You'd have to be crazy to not own an EV there.

I can't understand why they have so many supercharger stalls everywhere. Main season for tourists in Norway starts in June, but I cannot imagine that even 1/3 of those stalls people are using at the same time

[@kathyfann]

Can you tell me Which of the Tesla’s ride the best which of the Tesla’s handle the best because I probably will only be able to buy one. I seriously would like to not get something that is rough riding or has a rough suspension. I know that we need handling but it also must be easy on the body. I will be driving from California to Florida 3 times a year. My family is there. Thank You I thought I wanted a model y because I really like the Hatch and a little bit Larger Car but I just heard they are stiff and well a bit rougher so I want a lovely riding car. What do you recommend. For Best smooth Riding Tesla

[@JensDittrich]

Your slow charging experience is caused by the LG battery pack we get in Europe from Tesla. They are crazy slow compared to Panasonic.

[@abcabcboy]

Why do you get Farris, if you are not into fizzy water?!

[@jatterhog]

37:33 defo not true, in Sweden the northernmost city is Kiruna and I seem to remember that Hammerfest is the world’s northernmost city. If you’re talking about large cities, both Umeå and Luleå can probably be classified as such (and maybe also Vasa in Finland).

[@MichaelEricMenk]

Hammerfest is a town, not a city. By=town Storby=city In the US the a City is at least 50000 inhabitants. By this definition, Trondheim is the northern most city in Norway.

I really enjoy your videos and wonder if you have ever run a comparison between EV's and Gas cars over the same trip. Specifically, the amount of time and distance from point "a" to "b" using the direct route of a gas powered car versus the route and time and detours required to charge the batteries of an EV car. Where I live (NC USA) the chargers are few and far between, and a non Tesla car can not use the supercharger network, a real disadvantage. Care to comment please? Thanks

[@randreas69]

I know TeslaBjørn did a Kia Ceed hybrid test. Did it count as a comparison? He's kept it at the standard 1000km test.

[@randreas69]

And I've misread your comment. I think the difference in USA is you'll need to standardise the charger heads and also to bring a little sanity to the subscription plans etc. It's pretty much like when the first PCs came out and people didn't use MS-DOS yet, it's better to standardise.
