I got a new car!
Hello from the Netherlands. Just a quick update on my new car after the cryptic short video earlier.
I don't think it's a surprise what I got :)
More content coming soon(ish) if I can find time to film and edit. I will try and do the occasional unedited short video in the meantime.

Some I had never met in person. People like Colin from @ThePlugSeeker, Euan from @PlugLifeTelevision, @NicolasRaimo a.k.a. EV Nick and many others. Really hope to be able to attend again next year!

A Bank Holiday Package Drive to Dublin
zhlédnutí 266Před 2 lety
In this episode I pick up a package in Dublin. This is the first long trip I did in my one year old Renault Zoe ZE50. I compare how easy the trip is with a larger battery car and get to use the new ESB Ecars charging hub at J14 along the M7. And I have a massive ice cream!

Bro try it in Africa let's see what happens
You have paved roads in Africa? 🤔
Can you drive the car if you have the little pull out key but you don’t have the key card?
No..
Hey bud, I've been look through Renault Zoe reviews and tips and fell onto one of your videos and i was impressed with the infomation and decided to look back at your catalogue. This broke my heart to see what you had to go through, I must applaud your stoicism, such strength my brother. I cried through this entire video, it was the most perfect video you could have made. You're a special man, thank you for sharing. Now we need more videos, i see you bought a Tesla, we want to support your content, i see you have a passion for it. Im a brit in Kenya now so im gonna place all your videos in a playlist and play all 144 videos overnight, i hope the algorithm favours and pushes your content to new markets. I hope you see this and post something, anything soon so it works in tandem. Much love brother
you total arse there's nothing worth seeing here you skipped over the actual job
Many Thanks - Good Video!
Glad you liked it!
Coz it’s about 3 inch deep 🤣
Thank you for your opinion.. It's deeper than the puddle the elected Irish politician said would stop an electric car.. And it didn't stop this EV.. 🙂
I’ve had a NRG Kick for 6 years or so, frequently charge 22kWh at home (we have 3 phase) Recently it fails when charging due to one of the phase relays sticking, when tapped with a soft mallet it comes right, not ideal! Suspect the unit has not been built strong enough to repeatedly charge at 22kWh. Spoke to NRG Kick about it and they completely ignored my comment about the relay sticking!
I've still got this unit and mostly charge single phase at 16A at a CEE socket at work.. Can't say it's seen much use.. But it's a great cable to have as a backup..
Self driving with the KITT red tracking lights next :)
That would be cool!
Yeah ok but now try going through something other than a big puddle ;)
Why? That would be unsafe, regardless of the car you drive..
That's not a flood. Where was the water spray...a little appeared on the left. We are in flooded lanes currently, so I know the difference.
You should check out EVNicks video on the topic..
Wow thanks for this! That is awesome!
You're welcome.. 🙂
Hi Jan-Bart, I have recently bought a Renault Zoe 2018 40 kWt, which was originally bought in Norway. I use it in Ukraine, and I wonder if there is a way to have a CarPlay feature enabled. I don’t need the TomTom navigation with Norwegian maps on SD card, obviously :) thanks in advance
Hi. The Renault Zoe does not have Apple CarPlay but you can enable Google Android Auto.. You can find a guide in one of my other videos on this..
Or lern how to drive....
Parking isn't driving
Literally. Cars today are no fun. It was better when it was 3 pedals and a stick.
For most cars are not meant to be fun. They're a tool to get from one place to another in comfort and convenience.
i can´t even get my phone to accept android auto, then i put the connector in the USB port it just chose to charge. never ever copnnecting or open android auto. WHY any suggestion
Delete all storage of Android Auto and start again. There's an auto start option somewhere. Haven't used it in a long while as it's not available in my current car.
At some point , water will be swashing around the entry points to the battery box and no matter how well sealed the holes are , with time and heat the seals will be compromised and will let water in . at which point .....water and high voltage elecricity do not make good bed fellows and .BOOM . In fact all that stands between you and your maker is some flimsy sealant .
As supposed to....... ?
Very tight spot!
It was. I had to get stuff out of the boot and it was hard to get around it. So I lined up the car and summoned it backwards. Worked very well.
FIRE FIRE
Where?
Why doesn't Tesla make a $25k model? Call it: "The Model 25".
Because a Model 2 would make the lineup 2 S3XY.. 🙂
Hello! Can you show how to change the brake fluid on a Renault Zoe Thanks! From Tommy Bertilsson from Sweden
Nope.. Don't have the car anymore and I don't do my own brake fluid changes..
Renault really thought this through didn’t they, lock only on the passenger side.
That's for right hand drive cars only. It's on the driver side for left hand drive cars.
LMAO, so they never thought to swap the lock position to the other side for rh drive cars basically? At least that kinda makes sense.@@JanBartSpang
@@albaPhenom they would have to create an entire new part for it when this works.. It's not easy to crawl to the other side of the car but you could just reach in and open the driver for from the passenger side.. The fuse box is also not moved meaning that the glovebox on Right Hand Drive cars is absolutely tiny compared to what Left Hand Drive cars have..
Hello, do you have a link to buy that model?
Hello, no I don't.. It was bought straight from my Renault dealer.. It's a genuine Renault part..
She is a star now R.I.P Alice
That’s fantastic do you have a link and would it work for a model Y thanks andrew
You can find it here.. teslalightshare.io/light-show/13
@JanBartSpang thank you so much , it will be a surprise for the evening cars &coffee 🚗 now its starting to get dark
There's no MIGHT have...😅
You're a bit of a flasher!😅😂
Did you get rid of the Zoe?
I did indeed..
Have I gone back in time?
You haven't but I didn't "announce" it on my channel yet. Felt it was time.
@@JanBartSpang ahhh that will explain it I thought I was marty mcfly then
Health to drive,JB! Can you confirm TeslaBjorn's "Banana box test" result that had the M3 just barely beating Zoe for boot/storage space,only because it had room for one more box in the frunk? :) I want my next EV to equal Zoe's space and preferably on a purpose built EV platform..
Yes, it's true but somehow it feels bigger due to the layout. Had no issues with luggage this trip. Packing was easier. Would have preferred a Y but they've not dropped in price yet.. Maybe in a few years..
Thanks, it should be in the Renault manual really, but it isn't (yet).
True.. Though the ZE50 will have a different procedure and probably will require tools..
Goeie upgrade! Ik heb mijn ZOE geupgrade naar een Model Y LR. Wereld van verschil :)
Ja, het is inderdaad een beetje anders. 🙂 Vooral met lange roadtrips.
What’s the drive comfort like in it? compared to the Zoe
Very sporty and low down.. But fully adjustable driver seat, including lumbar support, makes it very easy to get comfy. I've done 1300+km on this holiday so far and not felt fatigued.
Congrats mate - well done! Like the M3 too, drove it a few times even in Ireland, but like the Zoe even more!
Yeah, the Zoe is still good but I needed something a bit bigger and have always enjoyed the Tesla Model 3.
No longer the Renault Zoe man!
Sadly no longer a Renault Zoe man. I still miss my first Renault Zoe when it was still challenging to go long distance with it.
In ths end at the moment only a Tesla makes sense ...
Yes, it really does.
Congratulations
Nice… looking forward to seeing your videos on the new toy… hope you are all well.
Can’t remember what year Tesla bought out the octovalve. Does it have one ?
This car has no heat pump.
It's NOT a New car!
Why is it not new? It’s new to all of us…
@macjim when someone buys a SECOND HAND car it does not make the car new!🫣
It's my new car 😁
@@JanBartSpang what you said Jan
@JanBartSpang it's your LATEST car...which is NOT NEW!!!!
Cool enjoy 😂
You have that a while ?
Yeah, since February. Just too darn busy to film something properly..
What did you do now ? Have you bought a Zoe again or gotten rid of you model 3 😂😂😂
I immediately think "great, more mileage!" 😂
No, I'm just impatient.. 😁
Early year LEAF owners (such as myself): 🐢
You bought a shite car
…somebody needs his diaper changed.
I did something once.
It's ok accidents happen when we get on in age it's ok don't worry it happens to the best of us 😊
You bought an… ICE car! 😱
Nooooooooooooooooo!
