Oh dude, you got me with the "People with butt cracks pretty much" comment. I laughed pretty hard on that one. I have the 7 passenger version with the 1,500 watt inverter and rear air conditioner. Mine doesn't have the battery cooler because of the weight from the extra air conditioner unit so yeah, summer time I have a bit of trouble going long distances because the battery pack heats up pretty much as fast as the new 40 kWh Leaf. I do love it though and is working great for my business!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for testing out the e-NV200 Bjorn. I am so excited to see your review of the 40kWh version in 2018. Please Nissan release this vehicle in the USA!
In India u cannot drive more than 100km in a day , no fast charger and car available has only 14kwh battery with 3kwh onboard charger but love ur video brother watched almost all videos in last 2month from millennium falcon to optimus prime
Haapy New Year, to you and to your wife. Beautifull scenery in Norway. I should go visit Norway one day. The bureau of tourism should name you as there spokeperson!!
This is your BEST road trip to date! Env is brilliant for this role can't wait for the 40kwh variant to be on sale! If you do over 30,000kms a year electric is the only way to go now! well here in the UK ;)
Nice video Bjørn. 40:28 The new Supercharger in Ringdalskogen is not very trailer friendly, but you'll find a way to charger Optimus there, like on all other places you go :)
I think, the Fv17 between Steinkjer and Bodø is a challenge, even with a Tesla, and one with an awesome landscape. I think, thats great for a Roadtrip Video.
If you want heat when you charge, you can just press power button 2 times. Then you power up the car but you cant drive..when you pull out the plug and want to drive you just press the power button one time and you are ready to go. So you can have full power when you charge, you just need to power off until it stats charging and you see the batteri symbol.
In the Leaf the steering wheel is automatically heated when you preheat and the seats too if you have them on. The main difference is the extra way to start preheating, which I feel they could have included in the Leaf as well. Is there a heatpump in the e-NV200? What you mention several times that it charges so fast is probably true for all the small EVs. With the new 40kWh I expect you can drive twice the distance or more and have fewer longer breaks.
Hello Bjørn, I have a question, i think it wasn't answered in one of your Videos yet: How often did it happen to you that your Tesla (Millennium Falcon and Optimus Prime) didn't charge when you came back to the car after a brake? And you had to change the Charger because of a Malfunction. I guess it always works when charging at home? PS: Thinking about a Model 3 AWD and consuming your very interesting Content like crazy. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for the answer, and plz never sacrifice Optimus Prime to the Gods, like your Viking Friends would do. I fear your Viking blood would compel you to do it one day. (;
Many modern cars UI looks like ancient something, because autoconcerns don't really care about it. It's not like a Tesla which is founded by IT specialists.
The wind makes a big difference on such a big car (even on a x-type) Why dont you make comparison, laying behind a large truck or bus, as close as legal, and see how much to save.
You have to have some sort of a deal/discount with the fast-chargeing companies, right? I pay the normal fee, 2,50 NOK pr min at Fortum and Grønn kontakt. I often see you use fastcharger at high state of charge, because it charges faster than type2, but I keep thinking it has to cost you a lot if you pay the same as I do..? I've done some rough calculations driving the same route, with my 24kWh Leaf or a diesel, and fuelcost is not much differente :( However, if I where to drive that route, I'd go for the diesel anyway, because of the convenience. So I really admire your patience driving all sorts of EV's for those distances!! But with double range (40kWh Leaf, Zoe or similar) I'd take the EV for sure. Keep up the good work uncle Bjørn :)

Energy efficiency. You waste a lot of energy when creating hydrogen and then using hydrogen to produce electricity. Plus the explosion danger. Already more people have been killed by hydrogen exploding (used as transportation fuel) then people killed in an EV.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell propulsion or synthetic fuels for everyday car traffic is not going to solve any problems any time soon. The Well-to-wheel efficiency is bad, you need a complete new distribution system (this is actually why traditional petrol companies are proposing it), and cars are much more expensive than the BEVs of today. And the only advantage you get from it vs. a BEV is that you save a couple of minutes for refuelling on long trips. However, in Europe, long trips are quite rare. Being able to recharge your car at home in your own garage and save some money that way is much more attractive than being able to "recharge" for only 3 minutes (excluding payment, waiting in line etc.) on 400km + trips.
As an American (not trying to be rude), this seems like a pain in the ass to stop so often. I looked up the cost of gasoline in Norway, which shows as 0.629 to 0.861 euros per liter. Our US gallon is 3.8 liters, and costs $2.25 (1.90 euros). So, we pay about 0.50 euros per liter for gasoline, which I think is a good price and not much more than what you pay. I wouldn't be willing to stop so often to recharge, nor would I be willing to wait for a Tesla to charge. I can fill up my 21 gallon (79.5 liters) gas tank in under 5 minutes, and drive 300-350 miles (482-563 km) on that. With the price of gasoline being similar in Norway, why bother? Am I missing something?
Yes, you're missing something very important. This car is a city car. It's used by carpenters, plumbers, electricians and municipal workers. They don't drive that far every day. And they have huge savings in free parking, free charging and no toll roads.
dragasoni, unfortunately your calculations are incorrect. 1 liter of gaosline in Norway is 1.80 USD today. 1 US gallon is equivalent to 3.785 liters. This means that 1 US Gallon of gasoline in Norway is: 1.80*3.75=$6.75. Which is quite a lot more expensive than in the US.
To each his/her own. Tesla is the (until now expensive) EV gold standard. LEAF and others are more affordable alternatives. Everyone has a tipping point. Perhaps you may view EVs more favorably as they improve and come down in price. Early adopters tend to favor EVs for reasons other than cost and convenience, particularly if daily use fits the available chargers at home, at work, and on the road.
What is Norway then while it’s great they are pretty much 100% hydroelectric they still drill for every gallon of oil they can and sell it all over the world to support there green live style
What a pathetic effort from Nissan. It indicates everything that's wrong with standard Evs, Teslas excepted. Not even 100 km of real world range, you have to charge the bloody thing every half hour or so if you're travelling at normal speed. The styling is vomit-inducing and all the materials used are cheap and nasty. That Navigation system is ancient and doesn't even plan your trip with all the requisite charging stop, which should be the bare minimum with Evs. This is why Evs aren't catching on, because traditional manufacturers don't invest the time and effort to engineer and make them properly. When Evs really do become popular, these traditional manufacturers will go the way of the Dodo and new startups will take over their market share, because they actually care enough to make good electric vehicles from the ground up and build up the charging infrastructure needed to make them viable.
Yes, you' re right, hopefully the new one with the 40 kwh battery will be much improved. I still enjoyed the video, but looking at those unbelievably frequent pit stops (I think they were every 50-60 kms) really doesn't sell electric vehicles very well. I'd love to have one, my (quite well-off) friend drives a model X P100DL, which I love to take out for a spin, but for the average person, we're still some way off electric vehicles that are good on their own merits and make financial sense as well.
Oh dude, you got me with the "People with butt cracks pretty much" comment. I laughed pretty hard on that one. I have the 7 passenger version with the 1,500 watt inverter and rear air conditioner.

brother 100 km you are getting everyday for city driving is still a bliss. Pakistan yet to go from hybrids to complete electric
most people see flags, I see wind direction.....lolololol

Awesome views !
But if you put a fossil generator in the back you could charge while you drive and you would have a e-NV200 with range extender :-D
Nope. Can't charge while driving.
Im sure you could hack it - and plug into the regenerator/inverter .. so the car just would think it was driving downhill
@@DrDnepr no need to do it. Nissan already have serena e-power with electric motor end generator onboard together. )))
I think, the Fv17 between Steinkjer and Bodø is a challenge, even with a Tesla, and one with an awesome landscape. I think, thats great for a Roadtrip Video.
wolpertinger42 yep, 120 km gap between Namsskogan and Mosjøen. You need to find a blue plug or a schuko in Trofors.
If you want heat when you charge, you can just press power button 2 times. Then you power up the car but you cant drive..when you pull out the plug and want to drive you just press the power button one time and you are ready to go.
So you can have full power when you charge, you just need to power off until it stats charging and you see the batteri symbol.

now bigger battary pack for nimber task then it is more interesting for longer trips

Bjørn's blood lines are Thai and Chinese, AFAIK; Norwegian name and home country.
Wow the GUI of the infotainment looks absolutely ancient, like from 2006 or so.
Because the e-nv200 is from 2011 and not really updated.
It's the same as in the Leaf. I bet the new one with twice the range will have the Apple carplay / Android auto like it's cusin 40kWh Leaf.
Yeah I hope so but i wish Nissan would add a bigger Screen in the new Leaf like the one in the Serena in Japan. Would be easyer to navigate.
This is supposed to be a work truck. Functional > style.
Many modern cars UI looks like ancient something, because autoconcerns don't really care about it. It's not like a Tesla which is founded by IT specialists.
@37:20. I often find the Veefil chargers unreliable. Do you have the same experience Björn?
I think that is called hoar frost at 15;30...
Model X is cool 👍
merry cristmas to you
"It's a weird Kinderegg! Umm.. but it's not German". You say funny stuff Bjørn!
Überraschungsei it's called. "Kinder" (child like in Kindergärten) is the brand from Ferrero :)
oh shit you live in Norway! I thought it was Canada
There's always a high pitch whining noise whenever you're near the chargers.
*COIL WHINE*
The wind makes a big difference on such a big car (even on a x-type)
Why dont you make comparison, laying behind a large truck or bus, as close as legal, and see how much to save.
How about going to the German Highway and just pedal to the metal with the electro van
At 2:52 were those starlings in the top right?
How does Nissan Leaf in Norway hold up over the years? In the US, a Leaf will lose lots of range because the heat causes the battery to degrade.
We don't get very high temperatures here in Norway: www.holiday-weather.com/oslo/averages/
Arne Christoffersen I know, thats why I was asking, wouldn't the cold temperatures make the Nissan Leaf last longer?
I'm not sure, but I think low temperatures are favorable for battery life.
Yes, they last longer here.
how much does it cost for those DC fast chargers? in Quebec they're quite in expensive. $10-15/hr
Matt Obadia in sweden its 2-3 sek/min=120-180 sek/h=20-25$/h

Hi Bjorn, what are your thoughts on Hydrogen cars? For example the Toyota Mirai...
It's bullshit.
Bjørn Nyland Why?

@@phonehoppy A few minutes. Laughable
a lot of people say the suspension is rubish ? any owners here ?
My opinion for commercial use these vehicles must do at least 400 mi per charge to make sense
250 would be reasonable if the top up was quick. People need to consider taking a break while driving... Be less of hazard to other drivers.
who do you spell nimbering, want to know what it means???

Driving in 45 minute sections is such a pain. When will the other manufacturers realise that we want to go further than the city centre
This is a city car.
