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.
Hi here in Canada we can’t charge on any Tesla supercharger to my knowledge I think in a few locations in the USA I have. 2015 e Golf with the small battery and I noticed that the newer charger that is installed I can’t charge on them at all but my brother has a 2017 with the bigger battery and he has no problems I don’t know if any e Golf is able to charge on the Tesla magic dock ?
I've charged mine on v2, v3 and v4 without drama. I've found it works reliably if you start the charge in the app before plugging in; if I follow the instructions and plug in first, it sometimes fails.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
@@ИванБогев You could say that, but if you organize your trip, you will be surprised for the results. 1625 km from Gdansk to East of Romania: 40 hours, 10 minutes.
@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.
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.
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?
im really suprised by the immense insulation of the battery. would have expected at least that the cabin heats up from the battery. With the leaf you could feel how warn the carpet was, when the battery was hot
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?
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
he took the wrong BMW i3 here. compared with age, EV tech generation and battery capacity available it should have been the 94Ah version, Not the 60Ah version, dating from 2012.
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.
@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.
I don’t like how the older VWs prioritize driving range over HVAC operation. It should be the opposite. Heater failing in sub-zero temperatures could be very dangerous.
@@ouch1011 at 90%, I agree with the idle fee. If your car charges at 10% at Ultra slow kW, then you Arent using the "super"charge. So maybe a 50kW charger would be enough. In the time you are from 10-90% at 30kW, 10 fast cars can charge.
The e-Golf is such a good car overall! Would love to see this test with the ~36 kwh version 😁👍

4:57 - maximum and minimum voltage cell is quite different..
Yes, e-Golf 2020 with bigger battery is able to charge at V3 SuC ;-)
Beautiful views of the trees there... And the windows happen to capture the views pretty perfectly... By design or by happy Serendipity
Happy new year Bjørn! And just to quote Scooter “it is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice”
This car was on first place when it came to best built evs with the least problems.
18:45 ACC is radar-based only, the car has a camera if it has lane assist or LED headlights with dynamic light assist or traffic-sign recognition

Thanks for the Tests with used car! Very useful!
Yeah indeed!
Hope you'll test the triplet too (iMiev/C-zero..)
Always wondered about these low tech EVs!

It is so beautiful views around your house
Great video, Bjorn! I pray for a 500 km challenge for the classic Ioniq!
Happy new year Bjorn… why the car is not cooling down the battery with -12 temperature outside?
Please think about this test during summer 😅😅😅
Happy New Year🎉. All about the bass🔉🔊
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.
Golf Mk7 will surely be known as one of the best they ever made. It's a fantastic car whatever the power is under the hood.
Do you test the VW ID 7 soon ?
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?
My 15 mod. works fine on every Tesla charger i have tryed.🙂
Good job, thanks

And about the 500km challenger with original Hyundai ioniq?
You need to update your references, nowadays we go for Hypa Hypa by electric callboy
Hey hey Happy New Year @bjørn!
Could you please do this test with a 22kWh Renault Zoe with heatpump?
Maybe, if you can get one, a model Q210 of the Renault Zoe, which has a 43kW AC charger... (and NO DC charger)
... and compare it to the regular Renault Zoe from around 2014 or 1015 with 22kW AC charger and 22kWh battery
And i3 with 94Ah as similar battery to enfold and better charging curve even better.
I’d be very curious to see the 500km challenge with a Mini Cooper se.

How's the charging infra in South Africa, any good?

Would be interesting to Try the 35kwh model. It should not Rapid gate on this test?
Lol, it did:
ruclips.net/video/G_B1Z9lrBwU/видео.html
The 60Ah I3 charges way slower then the 94Ah, which charges at 125A to 85%.
he took the wrong BMW i3 here. compared with age, EV tech generation and battery capacity available it should have been the 94Ah version, Not the 60Ah version, dating from 2012.
Please Test e-Golf 300 with big Battery ❤
I am shure that when spring comes, you will miss the russ!

Happy new year Bjorn. Coldgate and rapidgate should become official words in 2024
Only for ev which have 10+ year OLD technology. Drove m3 to Spane in 34 degree weather at 130km/h without any trouble.
@@Blasterxp tell that BYD
Are you going to try this with the 38kWh Ioniq?
-11 degrees and we are overheating :( no wonder Sun enters the chat.
Technoviking has returned 😅

Whats with all the banana boxes in the car hole?
-8.5 not could.. Now in Finland have -30 🙁 Can you test VW e-Golf 100 kW 2020 model?
You skipped the part where it was -17°C.
Hyper Hyper🎉😅
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Please rewiev VW ID 7. 🤔👍rwd and coming 4wd..
e-Golf is ancient technology by now.
A Better Route Planner = Abadur Planner ???
❤❤❤
Shame that the eGolf is spoiled by a widespread issue with the heat pump. Please keep away from this car or any VW product that has one.
Just 2 times slower than Golf
When you SUPERCHARGE at 40kwh you should buy for the idle fee.
*kW
That shouldn't be necessary for slower charging cars. Who thinks like that?
So older Model S and X should pay idle fees for charging over 50%?
@@ouch1011 at 90%, I agree with the idle fee. If your car charges at 10% at Ultra slow kW, then you Arent using the "super"charge. So maybe a 50kW charger would be enough. In the time you are from 10-90% at 30kW, 10 fast cars can charge.
