Oh man I was much needed enough we Stayed here over an hour we have 99 Percent We're taking seven kilowatt now All right I still have to go to the Restroom I hope it's open And then the next one Uh well I haven't planned everything but Uh it's wait let me see look at this we Do charging and then can we just skip The rest of Denmark now wait there's a New um let me see This is uh Germany And the French book is there okay well This one is a new B2B supercharger right Yeah Clip okay let's go there can we make it There How far away are we 202 kilometers yeah I will arrive at 40 60 so I will spend Only 40 percent Oh yeah okay let's go there [Music] Thank you [Music] Foreign [Music] This is the first time I'm here And you know today the electric Electricity price is really really low Let me show you here in Timber it Follows a spot price okay well I have to Show you guys here on the on the phone You see here

It's going to be minus 85. Like uh almost minus one Nook I've never Seen it that low before And right now it's even negative price So but I start realizing why it is like That because yesterday it was raining a Lot which means probably lots of Hydrogen power generation around Norway And then today it's been quite windy Here so when I drive on the motorway I Get this pushed sideways like this this Wind gusts pushing the car sideways so Yeah and then this location here V3 supercharger it's a little bit weird Because there is nothing here almost There's something building over there And then here fortunately there is McDonald's I'm not sure how long they open though So if you're the queue it's slightly Further north would probably be better But it's only V2 so yeah Um at least these are V3 and they're Also open for other vehicles So the plan now is to try to hammer it On the what I thought they already fixed This Didn't they fix it what Okay okay but let me show you guys the Plan I had to go to the restroom and when I Came back Then I had 90

Okay so the plan is to go to the German Border and then try to hammer it but It's going to be freaking hard because It's almost 10 in the morning and There's lots of traffic but we'll give It a shot anyway and then I will go to Bus stop it's a V3 supercharger Yeah yeah so first I thought about going For the South well but I have booked the Hotel let me say where is the hotel Again yeah it's here rensburg roughly Here So the the other uh let me see if you do This first I thought about going to this One this supercharger But that would be past the hotels but So uh yeah we'll just uh that's the plan Now is to go over there it's it's a Really weird the short road but I'm Going to hammer it if I can I don't know And then we'll see I might have to spend A lot of energy especially because we Have headwind here wind is blowing here Somewhere yeah this direction All right we reached the German border That's a sign No speed limit This is the first time I'm going to try To hammer it at proper speed with a Plaid But there is traffic so I have to be Careful And we only have two lanes in each Direction

Yeah oh and them campers are here yeah So but I have time this though so that I Will do a night run on the stretch Further south in the North Webster but We'll give it a try now I need to get a Feel of how it is Oh Yeah by the way speed is down here what The heck This thing is brutal sorry if there's a Little bit of shake I've I wonder if There's some uh Some some imbalance imba in some of the Wheels maybe with a front wheel but holy Crap okay so one thing here we just Supercharged you see that we have 54 50 53 54 degrees Celsius and a battery So the car is trying to cool down a Little bit uh okay let's give it the Beans Oh well I have to be careful though In case those guys don't expect the Freaking speed demon coming from behind But let's try now Holy macaroni this thing is fast huh I Have never ever experienced anything Like this and I've I've tested so many Teslas in a part man I know you're Dating and everything but Come on come on you have to use the Mirrors okay Okay you know When I first tried a Tesla Model sp85 Millennial falcon

In 2013 2014 I went here that felt fast But the P85 Started losing its oomph around a past 100 kilometers per hour it started going A little bit slow I felt like okay man not slow but you Felt like okay okay the most punch was Below 100 kilometers per hour And then came p85d it was slightly Better in 2015 but then I remember when I took my model X that's P90 the Ludicrous Then it felt Punchy all the way to Around 150 maybe 170 kilometers per hour Also when they try the p100dl also yeah But usually past 200 kilometers per Hours Plus 200 per hour Um Tesla starts losing oomph you know Feel like you need a second gear right It's not that fast but this thing is on Another level man there's just Bottomless power surge wait can you move Please no could you please move Okay can you move Dude I Freaking day man Okay I don't want to go too close Because that's unsafe Okay I need to flash man that is and I Also don't want to undertake I tend to Undertake maybe in uh In Norway but uh over here it might also Not be very safe so I need to flash this

Guy man well And suddenly I have a Volkswagen behind Me okay but just I'm just gonna flash a Couple of times okay maybe he'll get This get the hint Okay hopefully it gets the hint right Right okay bye-bye Things shouldn't be legal Oh I had Model 3 Performance I had model X Ludicrous I had this is unlike anything I've tested is insane it's no no it's Not insane it's beyond insane it's Ludicrous no it's beyond ludicrous it's I don't know what to explain man I even tried Porsche hike and Turbo S on A race track It was nowhere near as powerful as this Plaid Whole damn man this German come on get Out of the way yes thank you thank you Oh Unleash the Power holy man This thing is just brutal It's brutal Elon Musk what did you make it's a Monster oh I have to be careful now Because I have to anticipate that some People are not paying attention So yeah we just have the regular brakes Uh they break you can break hard the Only problem is that they might fade if You break too much too often But Um it's fun

No All right It is okay okay I shouldn't be doing This too much I'm just super careful now Guys right right I look ahead I yeah I Break but it doesn't break that hard by The way I mostly just regen and then Break a little bit Because I don't want to overheat the Brakes but I think it takes a lot of Track driving before you actually Overheat them but Yeah today is not the day for hammering So yeah lots of people gonna yell at me Now but I'm like okay okay I was I was Careful right ABC always be careful yes But [Music] It is sick man this car oh We're now at the supercharger in busdov So um yeah you see We have a car next to us we have the sun There so Just put on the Privacy shade yeah see This is Um just a speaker acoustic foam whatever From Bill Tema you can buy a pack of Five From yeah for for about I think it was around 130 150 Nook 15 Euro something like that So I guess on the counters you also have Something similar I've been using this Already since million Falcon's time uh

To cover the window I even use the Nimber in nimber trans for maybe Protecting some cargo So it's all purpose But yeah now It's 10 30 in the morning What the heck do you do now You see I plan everything carefully So The plan is to drive this stretch here The highway seven at night Uh we have three lanes in interaction And then here I also check windy Beforehand that the weather should be Nice at least no rain I don't care about Clouds anything like that Um yeah and also booked no tell there That's only 18 minutes away So but then uh I don't know if I can Check in now it's a bit too early but I Haven't eaten since VOD bike so I'm a Little bit hungry but there's a Restaurant here that looks interesting But it opens at noon in one and a half Hour I could just go over here well or you See uh On the other side here we are shell and There's a auto off well I don't know What the heck it means but I think There's a restaurant there I could check it out it's on the other Side there But then what I'm supposed to do because I'm at a three percent now so I will

Finish charging in about 20 minutes so Yeah Um Maybe I take another nap or no I'm I'm Not tired yet so okay some people Thought oh no okay they're going bigger Map now Yeah so I'll figure out something then I did the test run up and down here on The stretch I'll be testing tonight and It is way too packed now in the daytime Area So uh yeah we have to wait until tonight It's now half an hour past noon so I'm Heading towards the hotel but before That I'm going to have some food lunch I Think So yeah this is the best route mostly Taking the bundestras well is it I don't know there was a difference Between those two but these are the B-roll a little bit slower but uh still Faster than getting stuck in style over There We're now in Johannesburg I'm gonna get Some lunch over here this is the Restaurant Laguna it's a bit busy but Okay let's see oh I only five Oh yeah the food is here this is Schnitzel there's some sauce with some Mushroom a little bit of Vegetable there and then I could either Go for Fries or I mean the fried potato or this

Kind of potatoes this is probably Slightly healthier and that we even have A little bit of salad oh yeah once I'm In Germany I have to go for schnitzel I think last time I had the jagushnitzel Was right after the 24 hour world record With the model three that was many years Ago See Um Oh that was great food man I haven't had Proper dinner or food in What what 14 hours no way more than that yeah okay Whatever so yeah I'll go to the hotel Now I should try to get some sleep Because I'll be doing some tests tonight And you see that beforehand I marked a North Point and a south point where I Would do some of my tests That's the North Point and then who is In um South Point Is over there yeah so it's for hammering Over here in the unrestricted Zone Without any speed limit as it's light Speed limit right before the you you Turn over there turn around points so Yeah so I've already done some Preparations but now let's get over to The hotel Oh it's super efficient to be in another Country again I've been semi-stuck in Norway for the Longest time just because of work

Because I'm building a house And because of the baby also she doesn't Like sitting in the car too long usually We can stretch it roughly three to four Hours and then she gets quite grumpy So yeah you know we used to travel Across Europe every year it was like a Tradition wife and I before we had a Baby Sometimes even twice per year or even More especially when I had Tesla and I Had free supercharging you know you Could just travel across Europe no Problem just had to pay for food and Hotels So yeah I want to go get back to that One one day once Isabel gets a little Bit bigger So All right okay but um I also like Germany you know many people Wonder hey Bjorn are you half German why Do you speak so many German words well I I just find the the German language Funny uh pick up words that I find Interesting uh And also the first time I came to Germany that was many many years ago You know I think it was in 2008 and then I wanted to find an ATM I was in Lubeck Lubeck yeah liebec and well I think That's how you pronounce it right And I asked for ATM and nobody Understood me

And then I found out after a while that It's called geld Automatic okay so um I figure okay I Need to know a few words like what does Shtau means what about bow still uh When I look at signs there's two Students you know two hours you know Like so it's nice to know some words and I tend to visit Germany often and then Some words I find funny like I remember I was at the Frankfurt Motor Show many years ago and There was this German woman she Explained to me the the Volkswagen e up And just like oh yeah this is the new e Up and then she showed me a screen it Was a phone or something you can dock a Phone on the E up and she said and then Here you can see the battery status I Said ah battery status Oh yeah okay it's like um Norwegian and German they are similar except that uh Consonant what you call it not the Wobbles the other one right they they Just you just take Norwegian you make Everything sound harder like and Norwegian is ease I think in Germany's Ice And the Norwegian is Yeah you just have to sound angry when You say all the words yeah I'm just Kidding I'm just trolling with you guys Laughs Without the hotel and rule number one

Always Park as far as possible from the Other guys so you see Most cars they park close to the Entrance And then a park here put some sunshade On so it doesn't get too hot sentimod on And then oh I just noticed by the way That there's um There's some charging stations here oh What is that the freaking Subway it was A Subway Wow like a boss but I don't need AC Charging so I'm fine yeah so I chose This one it was affordable and they had Free parking and yeah we'll see Quick room inspection this was only Around 80 Euros so not too expensive We had carpet on the floor and then the Bottle oh Wow Fairly spacious Wait is this this is real Rock You know I started noticing the materials now That I'm building house and real Rock Like this what they would call is Freaking expensive man they put on the Walls holy crap this was probably not The cheapest interior Oh look there's so much space here Relatively large room So much room you get for Affordable price Some table and not that I'm gonna Need it then we have view outside

Why is that uh No those those are for sale or something And then you see that Wait I may set ND filter here Man The soul is joining like a boss Why do they have to do that to Themselves Pulling so with a trailer charging on 22 Kilowatt AC I bet that consumption on there so it Must be wait is that electric bus No I don't think so they are not that Developed yeah but the consumption okay Okay well I guess I put it on the Trailer at boxer trailer there They probably drive slow I'm guessing at least 300 watt hour per Kilometer So that's gonna take some time hopefully They're not traveling too far okay but Anyway yeah it's now let's even sit down Here oh yeah nice chair oh It's two in the afternoon I'm gonna shower and then get some sleep And then maybe set the alarm for about 10 I'm not sure 10 or 11 then I start doing My test it's going to take some hours And I'll do several several tests So yeah this is what I do man Hammer at Night sleep in the daytime to avoid the Traffic

Electric City Vehicles Cars Power

About Electric City Vehicles Cars Power

In a few months, on a stretch of blacktop near the spot where Detroit introduced America’s first traffic light more than 100 years ago, workers will install the country’s first publicly accessible electrified roadway. The new surface will charge EVs wirelessly while they drive, wait in traffic or park. In the future, a similar infrastructure could help EVs run entirely on renewable electricity produced locally.

As a result, a range of new EVs are being offered for consumers. Some are designed to be electric vehicles from the beginning, while others are plug-in hybrids or extended-range EVs. These models benefit from manufacturers’ increasing experience designing EV powertrains and from having vehicle designs optimized for electric propulsion. They’re also usually more affordable than a comparable gasoline model.

The number of public EV chargers is expected to grow substantially in the coming years. The city’s new plan to prepare for the EV transition includes growing the city-operated fast charging network to over 80 plugs by 2025 and equipping 20 percent of municipal public parking spaces in the five boroughs with Level 2 chargers by 2030.

But as more EVs come onto the streets, there will be additional demands on the grid. To ensure a stable supply of renewable electricity, local power providers must make a number of changes. They’ll need to expand the capacity of transmission lines from western New York, or build new ones. And they’ll need to make sure that the demand for electricity peaks at different times of the day, rather than all at once in the evening, when the most EVs plug in at once.
