'To much sound but little movement, that's what she said' 😂
Norway charging infrastructure is next level. They are ahead of most countries when it comes to electric transportation.
#1 in Hydro power is why.
The suspension tuning and even the design and R and D is done at MG"s UK studios in London, that's why it feels European or German.
The Chinese are sensible enough to realise that MG should still have a British element to it's character.
„many years ago when I was a little girl“ - it‘s so much fun to watch your videos, man! 👍
Glad you are on the roadtrip with a MG 4, i have one (same spec) LOVE it!! The MG Pilot can work af adaptive cruise control (ACC setting) works ok, no auto steer unless you like to pingpong between te lines, in the TJA setting (Traffic Jam Assist) it can auto steer, but i dont like it unless i am in a traffic jam, then its heaven! I can charge mine without any problems at Tesla Superchargers, in fact the cheapest public charging for me here in the Netherlands.
All these trips up and down makes him more Norwegian than any other. It sure is a good place on earth!
Well, he IS Norwegian (but born in TH)
Man Australia needs to learn a lot from the way these charging stations are set up especially with the ability to charge with a trailer attached.
Agreed
I just ordered a MG4 essence 64 today carn’t wait for delivery
Congrats to the 300k!!!! Well deserved!
Norway is extremely scenic. There is no dull road in Nordland.
Did you record what software versions are running on the car? The HVAC screen you show at 4:13 looks different for most (all?) MG4 owners.
Yes I also wan't to know that. My mg4 does not have that nice menu yet.
NZ new has this version
I wish MG was on sale in North America. The upcoming MG4 AWD sounds like one hell of a hot hatch.
And it would be so nice to see how much did it cost in the end 😊😊
"I used to live there when I was a little girl" ....😂😂😂😂
MG4 is a good choice after they improve follow your suggestions, thanks Bjorn.
Man next level!!!
Liked your short previews on short and long trips 😊
Veldig bra jobba 😊
Vente på min første Tesla long range, og da skal jeg kjøre til Kristiansand fra Tromsø 😊
Have been waiting for this!!!!
You have very nice roads in Norway.
The barn with the 88 solar panels is so cool :) Thats a massive amount of energy.
Always put the beer - soda can beside the litter box so somebody can get the pant. 2 NOK.
“Uhmm…there is something that resembles chicken in there…” 😅
20 cm more length and then more volume for the trunk, that will be nice for famlies.
Love the music at the start of this video
as always thank you for making such great videos with lots of good informations, it's always a pleasure to watch even I didn't like this car 😉
please continue your great work and "we" alway thank you... 👍
Love the music.
Did I hear, "we are now at Clit, it's nice and warm here" 😂😂
Hi Bjørn. To strike a blow for manual seat adjustment. I am much taller than my wife. We dont like electric adjustment without memory function because its annoying slow to adjust the seat every time you change the driver. And the MG4 luxury doesnt have memory function. So we would go for a comfort version with the good old manual adjustment. ;)
I don’t use the auto steer in mine. It feels like it tries to kill me. Pulls the wheel very sharply.
There's an update for that, talk to your dealer they should update it and it will make the autosteer better.
Beautiful scenery and wow that pizza you made me hungry...what about giving away some of the dry freeze food a Norwegian Hamper to subscribers looks weird in those packages...keep up the good work 👏
What a weird way rushing through this wonderful landscape.
But thanks very much anyway. Will do a holiday trip this summer, using my MG4 towing a trailer with my Vulcan S. Then doing daytrips from a campingplace (base) with the motorbike.
Good to know it`s so easy/advanced charging my MG4 on such long trips, from base to base. 🖖
Not weird at all
@@bjornnyland No offense. 😉
I just couldn`t do this (like you) without stopping every now and then to get the most out of those beautiful landscapes.
I remember last time i was in norway (little Honda cruiser, sometime around late 80s) i sometimes could hardly go on because in awe of everything around me. So to/for me(!) it would be weird to rush through all those wonders like that.
But thanks for showing the abilities of an MG4 on long trips and how easy it is to get it recharged in Norway. Needed that for my trip next month. 🖖
Question: What card would you recommend in general?
Similar size, horsepower, range, efficiency, and auto steer as the Chevy Bolt in America. But that charging speed is delicious!!
I turn the auto steer off on ours coz its so bad. I just wish it would stay off and not turn itself back on every time you restart the car.
Kempower is the Shell high octane of the charging world.
Hey Bjorn how are you not get bored on the highway in such long trips?
I would be bored as hell 😄
Thank you for your reviews and cheers from Italy!
The handshake does not work very well with the old Tesla V2 chargers, we have the same issue with our Aiways U5, we have tried 3 different V2 charging stations and they never worked with our car. But with V3 it works every time
I also have problems with my MG Marvel R at Tesla chargers, it has never worked and does the same thing as you showed here with the MG4.
Nice video by the way, keep up the great work. :)
No problem in UK, works perfectly (142kW max) 😊👍
Bjørn, why didnt you charge at the Kempower container 150kW?
I travelled 1 hr to get the "TeslaBjørn" pizza. When we arrived, the teen up front haven't even heard of you, or that pizza... After figuring out it was, as you numeral times before have described as "Gruben pizza", and received said pizza; well we were disappointently suprised. Not at all tasteful. We have a lot tastier pizzas in Mosjøen. And I'm sure elsewhere in Mo i Ræva as well.
However, love following you and your entertaing and informative videos.
Geng mak, loko, chok dee krap 😀
The good pizza was like a ninja and u couldn't find it.
Hopefully MG brings out a new MG5 at this platform.
It’s got to be coming. Marvel R, 5 and ZS brands all need shifting to proper EV plat
haha they're on the road! Next generation of ZS EV, NG MG5 EV as well as SUV C on this BEV platform
@@gracianochen feel like your making a tit of yourself with the HAHA
Unless you have links to the cars based on this platform? Or are you just thinking of the current refreshes on ZS and MG5 that are not based on the MSP/Nebula BEV platform?
That would be pretty embarrassing...
@bmwalker it is you're or you are, not your
@@wigs1098 your right
What is the software version ?
I've got two questions, I have a MG4 long range version (not the Lux) but when I charge the car to 100% it rarely says it has over 400km range when the range should be 450% I understand the range calculation depends on more than what its mentioned in the cars info, I just want to understand how this calculation is made?
Also I've never used the battery warmer to (by what I understand) make charging of the batteries faster and also for better efficiency. Have you used it? How well has it helped? :D
BTW Nice vid, Im pondering if I should take a long ride (1300 km one way so 2600 km to and back). Instead of a flight to the destination haha. cause the flights are quite expensive on the dates I would be doing the travel.
"When I was a little girl" 😂😂
Best scenes: Eating man!
The first pizza chef was a ninja
Mr.Bjorn, can you compare MG4 62 bat with Kona 64 bat, pls. Which one would you prefer?
13:20 Gasoline mixed with BEV that may catch fire not good idea.
Be interesting if you uploaded 2 versions, one with, one without music. Definitely without music for me.
I love the music!👍 what was the leading theme Bjorn anyway? Very catchy but Shazam couldn’t pick it up🤗 keep up your great work mate!
@Björn Nyland which version of the MG 4 is this again? Bit confused by thier naming conventions ... MG4 Standard Range, Long Range? Extended Range? Xpower?
ABC: Allways stop in Mosjøen. Not Mo i Rana
The charging infrastructure in Norway is wonderful as is the whole country. I feel sorry for the tourists who will come to Croatia this year with electric cars, because the situation outside the capital is, to put it mildly, a disaster for such a strong tourist country.. :/
your car need the latest update. with it the auto steer is smooth like butter in the sun ;-)
Hey Bjorne, have you tried the extended range version and what do you think of that one?
I have given up charging my MG5 at superchargers. Just too unreliable for some reason. Interesting to see the same issue with MG4
No problem in UK,my MG4 trophy works perfectly on Ionity (Octopus Electroverse card) and Tesla (app) (142kW max) 😊👍
@@r33gts it's weird, I've never had problems in Aviemore, but always struggle in Dundee. It might be a mobile signal issue.
@@ronrubble maybe the MG5, my Zs ev mk1 had handshake issues with some chargers early on,(especially CP Scotland) software updates made it better... So get latest updates if possible. 👍
So good, thanks.
I have problem with handshake with Ionity with my MG4 standard also. I had to almost call the tow truck during my trip from Italy to Norway because I couldn’t charge at any of the stalls and didn’t have enough juice to make it to the next one. At the 11th attempt it worked, but after that I excluded Ionity from my charging stops, and never had a problem again.
Unlike you I charged at the Tesla Superchargers without issues.
PS Bjørn my offer to test my car is still valid, but if you want you need to hurry cause I’m gonna sell it soon
No problem in UK,my MG4 trophy works perfectly on Ionity (Octopus Electroverse card) and Tesla (app) (142kW max) 😊👍
Have you asked Ionity what vertical orientation their flags should be in?
I am a new b in EV car, I like to ask if the battery keep charging in fast charge, will it easy damage the battery life?
Hello Bjørn,
There are several good deals on 2WD vehicles currently. The big question is how well they perform in winter or off-road conditions. In addition to most of them being rear-wheel drive, some cars have software that allows you to engage both wheels when you're stuck. Can you start testing this? It's very interesting for those who can manage with 2WD.
It hurts to see solar panels north of Oslo (7:20)
😂
Actually it make a lot of sense.
The delta temp between front and back yields the loss. Take the loss and add by your yield...
@@andreasbingkilvr6662 Also have to measure the amount of atmosphere between you and the sun blocking sunlight. Sure, there will be more if it has to travel at an angle than more perpendicular for a given location, but if the air is also thinner, then subtract that part back out when comparing to thicker atmosphere (more heavier air) in lowlands areas.
You may have learnt already but don't plug the Tesla cable in first wait for the app to say plug in to start. That's what I found out.
It doesn't matter.
204 hp for driving the most of the roads on 50 km/u and 120 km/u on highroads and didn't even speak about the traject controls ... Why you need more HP then ? Even 250Nm torque is more then enough to have fun on the EU roads :)
Great video, you are a funny dude lol
I see my future in USA will be charging my Chinese BEV at Circle-K, whilst I eat their food inside car. It will be the new normal.
"when I was a little girl" 😂
This is how fast ALL new Evs should charge, almost 2X what a Nero would be doing at that %
This climate control is a new version. Did you know what update is installed?
R40
How did the sleeping in it go? Video?

Did u fill the lake 'like a boss' ?😂
*river
Why does 21 or 22 degrees not work, weird all people reviewing this car set temp to 25 and say the same thing
Watch one of my recent videos.
May the tail wind be with you
Burda türk göreceğim aklıma gelmezdi 😂
@@agnostichuman7369 ☺️
Please can reviewers try to standardise their efficiency using KM per KW/hw or Miles per KW/hr ??? 149Wh/km is just meaningless without a calculator.
It's like giving top-speed in minutes per kilometre.
26:39 "01:00 at night" haha
And ? 🤔
@@jbogren 1am “at night”
♥♥♥
I saw an MG5 crash tested, they gave it zero stars.
All variants of the MG5 (May 2023 - onwards) scored a 0 star ANCAP safety rating.
The only weakness I saw was side pole impact, all others looked great, seems unfair.
that pizza looks goood!
The steering wheel looks pretty fat, doesn't it?
10:39 🤦🤦♂🤦♀
Being a fan of popular rock groups like Nirvana or Metallica I'm kind of ashamed enjoying your modern beats 😉 All da best! (nice car)
10:42 You no have Pfand in Norway?
If by Pfand, yes we have: 3½ NOK for big and 2 NOK for small. BTW Norway and Sweden have the best return values in the world😊
@@andreasbingkilvr6662 Nice. But you don't put it beside trash cans for other people to pick up?
@@Nelson-Man no. Then they will blow around and end up god knows where
Watched some but also skipped a lot. Don't know how good that is for the algoritme?
dont pee in the pool 🙂
I wonder why he shows electricity consumption in Whr per km when most people say kWhr per 100km and that's what appears on the dash?
Also, does the dash not speak Norwegian? I'd be annoyed if I lived there and my car insisted on talking foreign to me.
I have a video about this.
Most of his audience doesn't speak Norwegian. So setting it to English is the right choice.
It’s not as if they copied the Germans, they definitely copied the Germans! 👏🏽🤣
What happened to the ABC salad? :)
A car from where MG is made and a car from the company part of the parent company created by who it was created by both have the ideal of controlling who gets access according to very strict and always changing rules ... and handshaking access to charging doesn't work. Maybe the backend financials system between those who covet what they don't make vs those who make things themselves is incompatible, or maybe they wish to choose who does what and default get you in trouble to their "benefit" in their benefits system. Either way, it does not surprise me that it is those two brands that have trouble "handshaking" (letting access to charging).
First
2nd...haha

YOOOO been looking forward to this!
Hi Bjorn, for me the Tesla only works if you activate it in the app and then plug in, not the other way around
