Tesla Model Y Road Trip Around Norway! Part 1 - Oslo to Bergen

[@KyleConner]

Wow! This is the most beautiful road trip to date. And I can’t wait to share the next one with you too! Thanks to Marcus for loaning the Y for our trip. Who wants more Norway content? Perhaps some cold weather EV testing this winter 🤔 Corrections: - I mentioned incorrectly that the Y has two PM motors, this isn’t correct. Sorry for mentioning this! - We started on the east side of Oslo, not west

Very nice. Yes, Bjørn might be the busiest KZbinr of them all -- he cranks out the content! Not surprising you couldn't meet up with him, but entirely understood. Your trip to Europe helped me "find" him, and quite a few other folks who have been working with an astonishing array of electric vehicles we utterly don't even know exist, here in the US. So, it has all been excellent and useful content, and all very well done. Many thanks for your efforts.

Moved to Norway a few years ago and was amazed how many EVs I saw. Now I’m waiting for my ID4.

[@bluebikerathar]

The old Zoe Q ( quick) had the 43kW AC . but most common was the 240R ( Range) , only 22kW AC. The old Zoe do not have DC charging. First generation of chargers had 3 cables. AC43 - chademo and type 2 50Kw DC.

The US charging infrastructure looks so second class to Europe in your videos...that's a very telling sign for sure.

[@NicklasToft]

[@topgunm]

Cool to see you in Norway! The reason why we have so many chargers is "most" Norwegians go to their winter cabins on the weekend. Then pretty much all non-Tesla chargers have a line, but fortunately I have never experienced it with the Tesla SC network (and why I chose a Tesla).

[@Captnoatp]

amazing how many tunnels they have in Norway, I am jealous as they prevent all those high elevations passes we have in BC Canada where often highways are closed during winter for avalanche control and we have so many accidents due to poor road conditions in winter.

[@prompterbob]

Love your channel(s). These Norway videos are terrific. I was in Norway a few years ago and thought it was the most beautiful place I ever saw. I traveled by train, ferry and boats. Traveling through the fjords was awesome. Now after seeing your trip if I’m ever fortunate enough to return I will definitely travel by car. I’m a retired senior and I don’t drive much now, but I’m fascinated with the idea of owning an EV.

[@jillianvanliew]

Wow-Scandanavia is so electrified!

[@Orikix]

The reason why almost all charging stations are busy on Fridays and Sundays is because everyone goes to their cabin. Almost all families in Norway have their own cabin.

[@jamdoodles]

[@TeslaModel3Adventures]

Got to say that I'm wowed by the numbers of stalls in Norway... actually jealous really 😅 Here in the UK, despite now huge numbers of Model 3s on the roads, our supercharger network needs a whole lot of expansion. Some of our supercharger locations have as few stalls as just two! Some four! The average is probably 8... but it's leading to waiting at busy times, which in the UK is always! I remember driving in and around LA in 2009... thinking boy I couldn't live like this, just way too busy. Yet our motorway network is grinding to a halt! We really need supercharger locations like those Norwegian ones here. Once those Ys arrive, it's going to get super busy at the superchargers. Great video as always. All the best 👍

[@murda2999]

So that's what the future looks like?!?! Amazing number of chargers throughout the country!

[@rayphelps-bowman3824]

Thanks for the video. I love the Norwegian countryside and have visited Norway multiple times. It is almost painful seeing the countryside in the video and not being able to be there myself.

[@joshuab1707]

Love the EV adoption in Norway. Glad Tesla is doing such a great job at popularizing Ev's in the USA. I understand range anxiety is a thing here, and that Norway is significantly smaller than the US, but the expansive and ever-growing charging network is sure to solve that problem soon.

[@GridConnections]

Jealous! Going to Europe this summer and hoping to make it over to Norway (along with an EV roadtrip). Also congrats to your friend on the Circle K job! Hope to see more charing infrastructure like they have Norway all over the US. Excited for more of Tesla chargers going in and them opening up the charging network, but the more chargers in general, the better. Their might be some issues in the US if Tesla opens up their charger infrastructure but I think they'll be short term problems with how many their adding.

Great video! The mountain pass where you stopped was the scenery for the winter wars in SW Episode 5 (nerd facts).

Kyle, I have enjoyed your videos from The US. In Oregon, through The Deserts, Dakota, Montana or The Rockies… So enthustiastic and fun. Great surprise to see You start in Lillestrøm (I could almost see my House over The River and hill). I would recommend a stop halfway in Geilo (over 794 / 2.600 meters / feet above sea and 150 miles from Lillestrøm, 135 miles from Oslo) and then start with fully charged batteries both with vehicle and personell. Remember that a long car journey is similar to a good and long movie. Black nights and glaring lights is not recommended. Better start with an orange sunrise. I am still attached to our [Family] Dieselcow from 2011, but longing for a better alternative in an EV. After a testdrive with a model 3 this summer, I was both surprised and convinced by the quality of a Tesla. Not to mention the charging concept. Hope for a 3 or Y Tesla in the future. PS: we have above 90F in summer, do not forget big differences in summer and winter temperatures due to our latitude position of 60. A trip from Oslo to Bergen may require the A/C in full operation in July.

Great fan of Bjorn's KZbin Channel also, get that Circle K food inside you.

[@HelloSwiftful]

In which month did you visit Norway in this video?

[@garyclark6747]

I know you’ve mentioned cable size with reference to version threes and I want to clarify that the conductor itself can be different metals. You could have different metals that have more free electrons so they conduct electricity better versus others that don’t do so well or may be stranded versus solid conductors. Then the thickness could also be coming from the insulator as well as the cooling in the packaging of the whole cable but a higher voltage system does demand less current but may need better insulation because of the voltage potential. Have you seen the Model S Plaid battery internal strap across the top of the battery pack? That is one massive bus bar that needs to carry a lot of current because it is a lower voltage. Great video and awesome views. Thanks for sharing‼️💯

[@jimmurphy5355]

All EV charging cables use stranded copper wire. The only metal that is a bit better is silver, and it is far too expensive to use for general electrical wiring. Solid conductors are not much different than stranded in terms of conduction, and would be far too stiff to use for a moveable cable.

[@garyclark6747]

@@jimmurphy5355 I know aluminum is used limitedly in residential but you are correct that copper is the standard and solid is stiffer though a smaller diameter for the same rating. No doubt copper is the go to off the shelf choice and at 400/500VDC the insulation can be a size savings needed but can only tell you what I see around and am unfamiliar with 800/900VDC rated stranded copper insulation thickness.

This mountain pass you drove through is called Hardangervidda, and this is the largest mountain plateau in Europe. It's located over 1 000 meter above see level and wild reindeers live there :)

[@rud]

I believe that when Tesla offered to install destination chargers for free at hotels, restaurants etc, they installed two, one of them would be exclusively for Teslas and the other would be for any other EV using type two. but both were the same looking Tesla destination charger.

[@runeversveen9598]

The labels are different. Red Tesla sign are for Tesla only, white Tesla sign means open for everyone.

[@capta1nc]

Quite happy public chargers like this don't all have attached type 2 cables, as our extremely popular Leaf (first Gen) is type 1... You'd need Type 1, Type 2, and CCS at least. Cables generally supplied with car so no problem. Fast chargers (e.g. Chademo) have the cable fixed at the station.

[@Bamsebrakar2011]

In the US standard current is 115V whereas in all of Europe it is 230-240V. So 16A in Europe gives the same power in kW as 32A in the US.

In the summer the Taycan does it without charging and the Audi Etron 50 needs one (in Geilo or Gulsvik). Now when it`s cold the Audi needs 2 stops and the Porsche Taycan need one stop (Ionity Gol).

[@davidsommen1324]

Regarding the 43kW charging: yes, my original ZOE (2013) can charge at 43kW AC. Not all ZOEs can, though.There's a difference between the 'Q' version and the 'R' version: the 'Q' (meaning 'Quickcharge) can charge at 43kW AC. Of course this kind of charging never really took off, but if you have a 22kWh battery, 43kW charging feels quite fast and CCS is not really that missed. I love my ZOE, with all its faults it's just a great car to own and live with. Just came back on a roadtrip using only Fastned 43kW AC chargers, never stopped for more than 15 minutes (the AC destination chargers also were really welcome).
