A lightyear is not a time unit. It's a distance. 7 lightyears a year is a speed, equal to 7 × c (the speed of light).

More ID.3 content! YES!

Hi Björn. I appreciate your videos. mall question. You charge at so many different chargers. Couldn't you mention the price difference. I believe that this is also an important issue in the choice of the cars. In Denmark, Tesla Supercharger is 2,60Dkr, and some Ionity 8,50Kr !! So if you compare Tesla with a Audi E-Tron , the driving price difference is enourmous.

"Light year per year" has a perfect sense, because light year is an unite for distance.

How am I David Koresh?

ok this video again shows me that an e-car is nothing for me yet :D

It was fun watching this! :)

i like this car :-)

I have a turquoise ID.3, but the color of the car in the displays are still white, so they have not fixed that. I have the latest software version called Me 2.0 (0873) I think. The big software update that will come in the 1st quarter 2021 is Me 2.1.

For the next Test of VW ID.3 maybe you can use EVNotify to Gen CanBUS Data.

You'll appreciate the long distance in the winter when someone does an emergency braking. On icy roads, you can have up to 180m braking distance. Thankfully haven't had to test that myself.

How much money you spent for you trip ?

ID3 is very poorly!!!!....and the range is not real!!!!!....much much better Tesla model 3!!!!!

"That's a cool Viking right there." 😂😂

Can that Swedish actor do an Unpimp Ze Auto commercials for ID3 please!? Jaaaaaa!!!

Liebe Grüße aus Österreich!

Hi can you give me the details of the car scanner, the exact model name please as I cannot find it. Regards Steve

This video made me happy I'm burning fossil fuel.

I find myself watching to hear the pronunciation of the villages and towns. 😬

Just love the scenery, and with snow, nothing nicer.

Hmmm... nothing here to tempt me from a Golf GTE Hybrid

Lightyears actually are a measurement for distance, so lightyears per year do make sense in this case ;)

I'm looking forward to the VW Buzz, if they keep the styling from the prototype other than the steering wheel i'll do my best to get one.

My Golf GTE uses the same silly kWh/h measurement! Seems to be a VW thing.

Was the car moving when you saw a unit of kWh/h? If not, should you expect at the dashboard an information of infinite kWh/100km?? This is what you suggest VW to do? Most brands do not show instantaneous consumption when the car is not moving. Because it is infinite of course, no matter if it's an electric or a petrol. In this car, 7.2KWh/h means exactly this. If you don't move, after one hour you have wasted 7200Wh which is a measure of energy. Of course this makes sense because the hour in kWh is not the same as the h below in the division. So, they do not cancel as you said. W of course would be a unit of power.

The feature of showing kWh/h was likely done by a bureaucrat from the Dept of Redundancy Dept :)

Love the design of this car, but usability of it seems to be rather bad.

-25 is tough for an EV, but the range will return in the Spring!

😂😂😂 eletric car ,,no way

isn`t the lights consuming a lot of energy or what is the difference in consumption to daylight?

From dieselgate to coldgate ... LOL

Is the kWh/h an average or a current consumption? If it would be an average in my head it would not be weird at all. But as a momentary value its kinda weird.

Those Veefil chargers really nag your ears.

As an electrical engineer, I completely get what you say about the redundant expression KWh/hr, but this cumbersome way of expressing power may initially make better sense to new people coming over from ICE cars that are equalizing KWh and liters (gallons, I'm in the US!) of gasoline in their heads as bundles of purchased energy. In my experience, most people are really fuzzy about the difference between a KW and KWh to begin with. Maybe a worldwide switch to EVs will finally clear this up for people, but maybe not. On the other hand, I suppose one could argue that VW shouldn't reinforce poor energy/power understandings too.

The Germans may secretly be pining for Fahrenheit with their half-degree C resolution.

Why am I spending 30 minutes of my life watching some dude driving a car throught Norway? :D

4 years with the BMW i3 I never got bad smells from outside. With the Tesla Model 3 I get them unfortunately. ID.3 too it seems :(

dude, the heater on 21 degrees... you're spoilt

German words :D :O Have you ever learned german? Ja, ja, alles gut. :D

Lightyear = unit of distance, year = unit of time. So lightyear/year is like km/h, thus unit of speed

Would be interesting to test D mode vs B efficiency. I drive both Tesla and ID3 and pref B-mode downtown driving and D-mode for motorway. Winter driving and B-mode... regen on back wheels ... hmmm baaaaaad shiiiit ❄️☃️

e-trondheim

4:48 Alles gut xD 13:51 Scheiße Haha i like this guy so much :D

AMFI (AMFILOCHIA, AMFISSA)

Software still in beta by the looks of it

A hundred meters

Yea 69 kW :D

ouhhhh sheeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttt 😂😂😂😂😂

Sorry Björn, a short excursion into elementary physics: kWh/h makes actally sense, it looks odd I admitt that - since your car was stationary it showed to you the energy consumtion measured in kWh over the time of 1 hour, as it is kWh/100km when moving. And just for information lightyear is a distance!! so lightyear/year would make a speed

obviously VW did NO SOFTWARE TESTING at least not completely... besides, whomever DESIGNED the "interface" must be a clown, it is a RIDICOLOUS, overly cluttered and gratuitously complex interface.

kWh/h is like talking about froozen ice...

Your model is without the heads up display?

I wish you test it in -50C degree Yakutsk or -40C Khabarovsk.

Hardly no fast chargers in northern Sweden .

Norway isn't cold as I thought.

How much for the burger? (Just to know and compare with my country). Greetings

So in few words, buy this car and you will be driving from charger to charger.

I love it. Thanks for the review.

That's what I call a proper car tester - All old fashion style motor journalists have really no idea

My bmw 520i from 2001 did show degrees celsius in half degree measurments also😁

VW: 7.2kWh/h Björn: k, now reduce the fractions

"That's a cool Viking right there." 😂😂

Delta chargers have 12,5 kW power modules. 150kW ones can only however be split as 75:75 because of the wiiring inside the charger.

Just started watching. Where are these videos taken. Interested in electric vehicles

Dear Bjoern. According physics, electrical energy is reported in Kilowatthours. Whereas kilowatt is meaning power. Wehen VW claims 7,2 kWh / h they mean the car consumes 7,2 kwh per hour. VW uses the same type of indication for fuel cars, where they typically show liter per hour als long as the car doesn’t run. This makes sense, as you don’t have a distance you can calculate with.

I'm guessing when VW watches your videos, they just listen for "awwww sheeeeeiiiit" and then fix whatever comes after.

8:46 “Like a Baawwwws”

Your videos, comments and humor are great! Test drove Tesla M3 LR one year ago and loved it but as I am not an early adopter I just ordered an ICE car. I will definitely switch to an EV in 7-8 years: car offers will be great, prices will go down, amount of chargers will increase, range will be better, design will improve, weight will go down....

No ID.3 for me. I'm now wating for the Ioniq 5.

Is this the ID 3 with the largest 77kWh or only 58kWh battery?

But you can fly 7 lightyears in one year that is not unlogical that's about 66 trillion Kilometers.It's 'just' a tiny little engineering problem.

Double bacon penetration))))

02:45 They just made it similar to the fossil cars when you are standing and have the motor running (l/h).

My 2016 e-golf took an hour in one of those Grønn Kontakt 150kW chargers to get 40-50% juice. It was -20 C that day, but I had been driving so I think the battery was warm enough. Gone through this twice when I was desperate. Expensive!

Batteries and their percentage displays do not work in cold. This seems to always be the case with smartphones and electric cars. They cannot compensate for the cold. Maybe it's impossible to factor in the cold effect? This theme repeats in every cold weather electric car test. Since the batteries haven't advanced at all in 20 years, I see no future for electric cars if you live in the north.

ad 30:30: As you charge the power consumption meter simply shows the reverse behaviour, i.e. negative load.

What do you mean with "this car doesn't give you any indication whether you can make it or not" ? Doesn't the ID.3 has a trip planner like Tesla?

7.2 kWlightyear/megaparsec

@11:00 "coldgate" - does the car use route planning to preheat the battery when it knows you're going to a charger? Could explain the much better charging rate at the Ionity charger @23:00 (I noticed the ID light as you turned into the gas station, so you obviously had a route set this time).

At 15:25, when you’re setting the following distance, you’re saying that you have excessive distance between you and the car ahead. But in fact, you are two seconds behind the car in front, which is a generally regarded minimum distance. Given the road conditions, you might want to increase that distance, not decrease it.

I have bought this car,because u have said,that it is super efficient.Now i know that it was not real.This car has high consumption,almost every car has less consumption in this segment specially in cold weather.I have seen a video about id-3 consumption from Polish guy.He made more than 400km whit this car.Is that real?!

16:17 The reason I watch these videos.

Well.. light year is distance and a year is time so lightyear/year is distance/time=speed so yep. Actually makes sense unlike Kwh/h🤷🏽‍♂️

Hi, This is a Amazing travel vlog! if you ever need no copyright music, for your vlogs, search for......Retro Detune..he is a talented producer, making music with no copyright on it!!

Drive mode B is for Bacon

The kwh/h thing is an average energy consumption. kw is a unit of power. kwh is a unit of energy. kwh/h is a unit of avg power during a certain period, so it is used to show energy consumption.

Such a terrible user interface on this car

Absolutely disgraceful that in 2021 VW release their first proper EV that is built from the ground up to be an EV with this extremely poor charging performance with a cold battery what in the Hell were VW Engineers thinking ? A car that heats the battery won't allow you to heat it for fast charging, I'm sorry but this just isn't good enough in 2021, this is as slow as my 2015 Leaf charged at. The more I see these issues with new electric cars the more I'm going to keep my BMW i3 Rex, I don't have to worry about these serious issues and that's the way it should be because charging at 30-35 Kw seriously limits an electric cars usefulness. I would like to have known the actual battery temp, I bet it was no more than around 12 Deg C.

Tesla is the only ev car as far as i am concerned

Didn’t this guy just gave a Tesla, drives it around for a bit then return it? So now he’s going to do the same thing with this VW?

Great test. VW should pay you.

So at the Ionity charger id3 doesn't cold gates ?? :))

Nice and warm in the summer in Oslo = 7 degrees :)

Is this ID3 equipped with heatpump? Cause it’s an option on most ID3 and ID4’s...

ABRP can only calculate with Data given from Volkswagen, you know, Volkswagen and correct Data ... ;-) keep on witch your great work.

Its colgate 😀😀😀

the Noise kills me with my earphone on, sorry!

19:30 lol ..9 9 stop it 😂

The unit kWh/h is absolutely reasonable. That's because the meter shows the consumption (while driving in kWh/100km and during stand still kWh/h). And physically you can not consume power. So it is not reasonable to show kW here!

I like the way how you react on all those negative or "clever" comments. People ussually not realize how much work is behind your tests. You are doing fantastic job and your tests are very usefull. I laughed so much about extra bacon :-))
