Kempower is from Finland, and Finland is not a Scandinavian country but a Nordic country. The 3 Scandinavian countrys are Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Dang I even knew kempower was from Finland and I didn't catch this until I read your comment, I guess when I think of kempower I think about Bjorn and my brain goes to Norway
Oops! Nordic*
Thanks for geography lesson as I thought Finland poised next to Sweden and Norway was a Scandinavian country. Sorry Denmark, didn’t think you were included.
This is embarrassing 😅 I made the thumbnail!
@@RoamingNorwayha!!
Thank You Francie for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth....
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste
🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤ 🕊
Have been using one in Québec, probably the only one there. Great! Charged my Ioniq 6 full blast at 230KW while other satellites not occupied (total shared capacity for 6 of them said to be 500).
Great to hear!
My favorite chargers - y'all gonna love using them!
16:58 My local IKEA.
22 CCS stalls and 4 CCS/CHAdeMO stalls + a number of AC (level-2/Type-2).
I've been waiting for this video thank you! The scrap yard will strip, sort, and weigh the stolen copper wire. and gladly pay these thieves! Maybe scrap yards should be held responsible like pawn shops that make you show ID and fill out a form stating it's not stolen.
Great content efficient ,concise ,good Q&A The Truck Standard is very important !!A Finnish Company with lots of experience the USA needs this after Musks Lunacy!! Great work !!
Cool! I watch a lot of Tesla Bjorn who uses Kempower quite often in Norway and Sweden.
I hope Kempower does very well in North America!
Good to see Drew Carey branching out into a new field!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good to see the progress that electrification is making around the world.
We keep hearing about Kempower here and on OOS Reviews. But I have yet to see some Kempower equipment in the real world. Is there a Kempower station locator anywhere?
Kempower technology appears excellent for passenger vehicles in US. But, it’s up to the CPOs to maintain this equipment or we will have the poor reliability as seen with Electrify America and other operators.
Reliability seems pretty good in the Nordics! We all hope for great maintenance from the CPOs!
Circuit Électrique had a shiny new site with Kempower units in Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec that last I charged at last summer. It was amazing.
USA has dozens of these Frankenstein chargers. Perhaps this one is better than most.
The lack of quality and good customer experience proves that this is nothing more than a more than a federal grant money grab.
Good questions, Francie!
North Carolina! You should definitely check out the Outer Banks. Magical place :)
It seems their roll out strategy is not in heavy EV centric markets?
Thanks for sharing this. Nice to get a seat at the Q & A session that we wouldn't otherwise have. Let's hope they can land a major CPO. One question I do have is that it seems that their chargers are limited to 150Kw on 400W vehicles. Is this still the case? Also the payment terminals, at least as displayed on their website, seem to be a rather clunky addon. Do they have any plans to integrate this in a more elegant solution using the built-in screen and perhaps a built-in reader?
There are 200/400kW @ 400/800V dispensers here in Norway.
You can see Bjørn Nyland's latest 500km challenge in the i3 where hes showing the display of one at around 7 minutes 20 seconds.
They have a Water cooled Satellite that delivers up to 500 Amps , so could do 200 kW on 400V, or 400 kW on 800V . The payment terminal is a separate add on to allow for different types of card standards and security needs around the world.
