  1. I’d be very curious to see the 500km challenge with a Mini Cooper se.

    We did a trip with ours here in South Africa last week, over 1600kms, a few days. Averaged 16kWh/100kms. Our temperatures are obviously summer ones this time of the year, but still seems a lot more efficient than these eGolfs?

  2. I made a video in my 30kWh Leaf, I hit hot battery at 6 charges on a ~14C day. I drove ~550km on that day, but could only charge the battery to 50% on the last two charges. I think it took easily 12 or 13 hours. There is a different battery firmware available now, which may be helpful for that length of drive, it limits the power of chaging at a lower temperature, so you don't hit the hot battery limit, but I normally limit my drives to 350km in a day. The distance to my brothers house.

  3. @13:50 This may not be the case for the later model with heat-pump. I've tested it several times on my 2020 model and the charger never shows higher output with heater on full blast. It can pull over 6kW so it would be quite noticeable in the charger display if it was working like on this model.

  4. Will be nice if you point actual usable kWh of each car, cause it's important to notice and I'd like too see Nissan Leaf with low depredation, thanks for your videos and wish you all the best in this year

  5. Adaptive cruise is only done by the radar module on the car. When we had one it would crap out due to blockage when the weather wasnt good (usually snow and road shmutz). But it never seemed all that blocked up so it must be quite sensitive to a thin layer of crap on it.

    They should have just put a little fan on the battery. Could be blowing that 42deg air into the cabin when its so cold outside.

  6. I like watching these videos but I think I've got to be a holdout and stick with oil burners, let the technology improve and settle. It's good already but seeing the messing around with chargers, not being able to just use a debit/credit card in many places, and the fact that even a cheap car would need a decade or more for me to see payback on fuel costs (just charging at home) means I'll wait longer. Let others get onboard earlier.

  7. Happy New Year Bjorn. You are a lucky man with this new house with a beatiful views and a very funny daughter. I can confirm, as you have alreade been told, that the new 35,8 kWh Golf version can be connected without any problems to Tesla’s Superchargers in France and in Spain.

  8. My eGolf 24kw is approaching 170 000 km, and it just soldiers on. I have been shamelessly road tripping and fast charging. I just love the fact that it's a 15-20min stop maximum.

  9. i had the eGolf with the "big" battery on my shopping list for a used electric car, but now i got me a Opel Corsa electric. 12.2020 15500km. it is relatively slow charging with cold battery temperatures: 30kWh on 1-3° Celsius Battery temperature. after riding it 200km at that circumstances it does 49kWh charging speed. so i'm quite satisfied. thank you for your videos. cheers.

  10. @teslabjorn: be a hero and do the test with a comparable I3 version. The 94ah version. That would be the honest comparison. same age, and comparable usable battery size. There is a big performance difference with the 60ah version in charging curve and battery management.

  11. E-Golf is despite some harsh critics a good car, very nice to drive, as long as you know what you can do with it and what's not advisable it is to this day a very nice convenient cheap car.

  12. Happy new year Bjorn… why the car is not cooling down the battery with -12 temperature outside?
    Please think about this test during summer 😅😅😅

  13. Hey Bjørn, i love your videos 😊 i was looking at your videos but i havent found that you have a video/reveiw on a Maxus Euniq 6 SUV. What do you think about that car?

  14. Happy New Year, Bjorn & nice family! Looking forward for videos in 2024 and after…! As a parallel, with Dacia Spring (26.8 kWh gross / ~25 kWh net) from Gdansk to Kielce (496 km trip @ 20-25 Celsius degrees) – 11h10min, from Wien to Dresden (498 km trip @ 10-15 Celsius degrees) – 9h36min .

  15. Happy New Year Bjorn! I can confirm that the 35,7 kWh version of the E-Golf can handshake to Tesla supercharger without problem. Tried multiple times in Netherlands.
