We appreciate you taking these trips for multiple reasons. It's nice to see a couple out enjoying themselves. We feel so humbled you showing us your beautiful country. And lastly, it's nice to see as the technology improves you taking the time to test the cars that many of us are considering purchasing. What I get from a lot of the videos is how the charging network and the support for it needs to improve. I also get a chance to see that in most of these EVs you actually can go on extended vacations and long road trips with a little planning. I must also point out that a company like Tesla is in a league by itself on many levels but more importantly as it relates to their charging network. While some won't agree with me I feel as though they have set the bar and are a benchmark as to what a EV could or should be. They're not perfect but when stacked up car for car, company for company they seem to be ahead of everyone else at this point.
Good weather conditions on the North Cape, and VW gets a good promotion picture ID.4 with the globe😂, and thank you for the Information with the lifetime membership, i love this place, my last visit was 2019👍
Hi Bjorn . Loving your videos . Being half Norweigen myself its great to see Norway , and being a car enthusiast electric & benzin powered , its great to see you testing the cars and we learn so much . DOBBLE TUSEN TAKK . Keep up the great jobber .
09:37 I have the new Zoe and I can charge at 230V in Germany. I have the renault charging brick (230V 10A) from my old Zoe, and I can use any household plug to charge the car. It's nothing like the one that guy is using there, it's just as big as the one from VW, maybe a tad smaller.
Another excellent "down to earth" travelogue. I thought the cape tourist centre was very interesting, and wondered why the extensive tribute to the King of Siam in that place. I am impressed with the availability of high speed chargers throughout Norway even remote places. Here in Australia we suffer the "tyranny of distance" so with a very large land mass and only 25M people spread mostly around the Eastern coast, infrastructure is a struggle. EV take-up is slow (I have recently joined with an EQA) but I think the real issue might be the small number of charge ports outside the busy highway centres. So there might be just a single charger in the town and it may have a CCS and ChaDeMo, so if the CCS is Our Of Service, we might have to use a 240V socket with a lengthy stay.
4:15 This is a common problem of the ABB HPCs. I had the same problem on some chargers from Fastned. It's the cooling system for the cable which is not working. Normally you hear a howling noise from the coolant pump when you are charging.
@@abraxastulammo9940 This happens mostly on chargers with plugs from Huber+Suhner (ABB, EVBox and Porsche/ads-tec). The uncooled cables can only deliver 400A, for full speed on Model 3 and some BMW cars you need 500A.
You should go to Svalbard sometime ... flight from Tromsø or Oslo. Not sure you can get an EV up there though. Might want to do that in summer ... or fall or spring time. Great Dioramas at North Cape.
Oops. I've been to the North Cape twice, and didn't pay either time.... First time was by bicycle though, and the second was late at night in December 2020 after the place was closed (drove to the globe too!). Ishavsveien chargers were ace, used them in Alta, Máze, Karasjok, Olderfjord and Honningsvåg. And with the chargers I didn't use and the chargers added in the last ~7 months EV driving in the far north of Norway is almost trivial, even in actual winter, probably easier than the north of England where I live in summer.
11:31 Assuming 4 columns with 5 holes each and 3 columns with 4 holes each you would have 32 holes total. 32^2 = 1.024 possible combinations wich is the same as 2^10. So 10 bits or 2 and a half nibble or 1 and a quarter byte
Ucase don't transform from 230V to 400V. It's only make a TN network. It's insulation transformer. That is grounding all phases to ground. IT network is not grounded on phase only on ground wire. Ucase make N leader to be 0V and L1 is 230V alone as standard in all other country in the world.
And in other news, Hong Kong is beginning orders for a RHD Model Y tomorrow. Including, it is alleged, a SR+ version. Good news for those of us in left hand drive countries.
Looks like the cable cooling failed at the HPC in Olderfjord. When you started the shot I wondered by the annoying high pitch cooling pump sound was missing. As far as I know the entrance to North cape was free some time for EVs. Have been to north cape in 2018 and 2019, both times with an EV and didn't had to pay anything.
It would be good to learn how the chargers are set up. 3 phase? 2 phase? North America has 2 phase - Asia had 3 phase. If it is 3 phase, there are 5 cables. 1 for each phase, 1 for neutral and 1 earth connector, which is then combined for the charging cable, and the car then rectifies the 3 phase to DC for the battery. Would be good to discuss.
Amazing landscape, and still reliable fast charging in this area! Because I'm picky, too, I still have some little criticism about the HPC locations. In my opinion, it is best if there was only one type of charger, and the same price across all chargers in one location, and the outlets should be load balanced among each other. As the locations are set up in the video, with one HPC and on 50 kW charger, some people might get it wrong and plug their e-Up into the HPC, and then a Taycan arrives and we have arguments. I like the Tesla SuC V3 and the Kempower concept: One charger has 4 or more technically identical outlets, and they are load balanced, and because the outlet itself isn't too expensive, you can have more of them so nobody gets annoyed even if a slow charging or nearly full car hogs one of them. And for smaller locations, I think the Alpitronic Hypercharger will do with 2 load balanced outlets. But OK - these are first world problems...
You are doing well for Electrification and Tourism in Norway. I love it, looks like I will have to visit the Land of The ViKings.
I'm always blown away at how well the roads are kept up there!
For reference, North Cape is as far north as Barrow in Alaska *:D*
My plan is to do it with the ID.Buzz. From Switzerland. Quite a long distance. Let's see...
Massive, I hope you will vlog it!
Wow, that moment when you said it was 1:30am. It feels like Human time is meaningless up there.
very good trip ! i’m going in north cape in 2011 from france . My best travel ! i love this country
What a great view with Bjørn and the car at the Nordkapp plateau ! I liked that scene especially good 😊👍
ABC Always Buy Crab 🦀
Hey Bjorn! You took me to NorthCape. Thanks for shooting inside the museum. Gut. Want to see next trip at beginning of winter!

This video really shows how far ahead the Tesla supercharger network is!
04:44 when Björn simply mentions a restroom instead of philosophizing about his expected amount of sh... Wifey, please, PLEASE stay with us!
You need to catch the king, only a few more places to visit and you good. Enjoy and thanks for the nice virtual visit to 🇳🇴.
Thank you for these beautiful and relaxing videos
Very nice series of videos on this trip

Scandic .. brilliant chain we use all the time, They are at the right price/quality point (except in denmark where they are twice the price).
Top of the world! Just time enough to get king crab and walk it off! - In summer. In winter you freeze to death before you get back.:-)

Great Dioramas at North Cape.
Were in Svalbard a year ago in February - what an extraordinary experience!
Love these road trip vids!
Loving the fact wifey goes on a trip to North Cape and only goes 99% of the way 🤣

Interesting coincidence you are following the landmarks left by your Thai ancestor! 😜
Great video! You should go all the way to Grense Jakobselv next time! Did you say that the crab meal cost €60 per person? Damn.

Looks like rain dear!

You should go to Dyrøy sometime. It's a pretty nice island.
That superior room looks just like the standard we stayed last year, except it has an added table.
Björn, I think you just came from the Lyngenfjord.
Great Trip ! That Crab looked YUMMY ! 24 hrs daylight might be hard to get use to !! Thanks
If I ever Visit Norway, I will have to go to North Cape.
Fly to Honningsvåg and save the hassle :)
so weird that there are HPC's in Finnmark but nowhere to be found in Nordland
Nice trip man!
When do you get the M3 LR w Panasonic for testing ?
Love it ❤️❤️
Great trip nice to see
Are you gonna test any of the smaller battery packs from the Enyaq, ID4 or Q4 series?
North cape in 2022 hopefully with the Model Y :)
Where is the butter for the crab? Asian Style - rice vinegar, sugar and ginger ... Chilli sauce?

Nordkapp, verdens ende. Vakkert som bare det.
«ABC» Always Bring laser Canon!
did i catch that right? 120 euro for 600 grams of crab + sides? can you imagine how you can eat in the south for same €€€
Meanwhile, in Belgium, we are lucky to find a 50kW charger in the wild.
Incharge rfid works on Ishavsveien :)
Next year northcap with MG Marvel R including camping...V2load with 2400W Power.
Rather see IONIQ 5 at North Cape than MG.
When more tests on audi Q4 e-tron ?
He's on holiday :)
It's not a good idea to watch your videos at 12h44... I'm hungry now...
Bjorn stop drinking Cola :D it is like a Coca Cola advertisement, (I am trying to quit drinking Cola :( )
175kW CHAdeMO :)
