There is so many channels where guys are testing ev's but what I can remember none of them tested ev's like you bjorn. I really appreciate that. It makes me so easy to choose right vehicle for my family. Thank you for all of that and I wish for you and your wife lovely holiday time in Croatia 👍😎

[@Mekuso8]

55 kWh: 11:05 77 kWh: 10:20 Yeah, the difference between the battery sizes doesn't matter as much as most people seem to think. If people were fine with ~60 kWh batteries, we could make about 20-30% more BEVs

I was rewatching the Ioniq 5 1000km challenge last night and you said you were going to do a 400V-800V comparison. Is that still coming? Would be very interested to see it... Anyway, this cheap little VW does it in a reasonable time too. Could work fine as a family car, if you only go on a longer trip once a year in summer and don't need to hammer it. But I guess a 1000+ km trip to the Alps in winter conditions will not be very nice.

Hello Björn, thank you very much for your great tests in the field of e-mobility. What i wanted to ask is whether you checked the tire pressures befor you start the test to make a comparison? Many vehicles often have the wrong tire pressures and thus falsify the consumption values. thank you and keep it up ;-)

Is it 45kwh or 55kwh? I am confused Bjorn

The fast charging is really impressive

[@TheBeggFamily]

I thought Ionity was expensive but reliable!!

[@chrisridd9423]

It might be interesting to talk to the charger companies to try to understand if the chargers (when working, cough) are throttling the cars, or if the cars are throttling the chargers. Both sides know the exact model at the other end of the cable (handshaking) so could be slowing things down?

[@Robcomesana]

You are completely right. IMHO the chargers need to show some brief messages regarding issues: what is the bottle neck on this charge: battery temperature, shared power on the charger, cnnector and wiring temperature... Also, when the handshake goes wrong, it would be great to know what happened: Is it a software incompatibility?. Is there any problem in the connector?... The generic errors and lack of information are really a problem on these complex systems

[@hrrrrrrr2084]

Fastest of its kind and affordable. Great car overall

[@Dom21221]

ABC - always be chewing 🤣 love your content Björn

[@PenkoAngelov]

I bought a pair (4) of "Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2" summer tyres for my car and the difference was night and day! These tyres are extremely quiet - almost no road noise. On top of having low rolling resistance and low wear. Unfortunately... now the engine noise is way more annoying. They might have some weak points but for my driving style they are perfect.

[@Karjis]

I had two Efficieny Grip series and it was really quiet as new but noise did get worse when first 1-2mm did wear out. After that it was actually quite noisy. Michelins seems to have more consistent noise during lifetime of a tyre at least with size my car uses (215/55R16).

[@PenkoAngelov]

@@Karjis Same size tyres, 10,000 km with them this year... No noticeable difference in noise levels but I haven't measured the wear depth.

[@Karjis]

@@PenkoAngelov I hope they improved that in 2nd version. The first one did start to sound harsh when older and wet grip went from great to well.. not good when thread did go around 3-4mm. I don’t mean aquaplaning but simply damp asphalt where It did not grip well anymore. I used two sets from new to point when it got slippery on wet (~3mm front/4mm back) as the price in that size is good. But then just had to think different options. I hope ”2” fixes those issues when being old. Both series were replaced around 30k km.

[@PenkoAngelov]

@@Karjis I personally have no experience with the first gen. So far no problems with aquaplaning (even at higher speeds) and around the corners. The car is a "not so large" combi/estate. My impressions are nearly the same as the results from independent tests.

[@Karjis]

@@PenkoAngelov I also had no issues with aquaplaning, just damp surface was the issue when tire was worn out. Somehow the rubber compound just felt slippery, especially when it was damp and cool weather. Basically when accelerating out from damp roundabouts the car had massive understeer if unleashing any "power" of french 134hp diesel with 4 speed auto gearbox.

[@grizzly._.]

It should be mentioned that the Pure version of the ID.3 comes with 50 kW CCS charging as standard, you have to pay extra (about €650) to get 110 kW CCS charging on your Pure ID.3.

I think its 55kWh gross and 45kwh net. But I also think he should use capacity as stated by manufacturer in title to avoid confusion. VW is now selling 45/58/77 kWh models and I was also bit unsure if he meant 45 or 58kWh model.

if I am not wrong MEB platform adopts LG chem cells with 3,65V and 78Ah, each module contains 24 cells, thus the following configurations should be possible: 7 packs = 48kWh gross capacity -> advertised as 45 kWh net capacity (only on Id.3) 8 packs = 55kWh gross capacity -> advertised as 52 kWh net capacity (only on Id.4) 9 packs = 62kWh gross capacity -> advertised as 58 kWh net capacity (only on Id.3) 12 packs =82kWh gross capacity -> advertised as 77 kWh net capacity(on Id.3&Id.4) why are you talking about and Id.3 with 55kWh gross capacity?...it should be only for Id.4

Nominal capacity of Stellantis cars (e-CMP platform) is 50kWh. And I confirm after 1 year of owning e208 and testing it with Bjorn procedure that I had between 40,5 and 44kWh available.

[@David_Polak]

@@danielurgei6596 Hi Daniel, I don't think Björn has time to give personal advice, but who knows. If I may give you mine... when you're talking about recharging stress and going 700 km fast, I think a diesel car is a better option for you, like a VW Tiguan TDI. You could drive 700 km without stopping and get quickly at your destination. If you prefer an EV I'd also recommend the Skoda Enjaq. Spacious, good price and a pretty quick if you look at Björn's chart at minute 25:05. Note: Don't be fooled by WLTP range. Your real life range will be 50 to 70 percent of that number. For daily use not a problem if you install a charger at home. For trips also not a problem if your family don't mind to stretch their legs every few hours for a 20 minute charge. Good luck.
