The e-Golf looks so fresh in comperison with the leaf

My favorite feature on the 2016 e-golf is that it still requires you to reset the oil trip on the dash every 10,000 miles just as the gas gold requires:)). It’s still a great little commuter car.

I agree. I also think its wise to paint the plasterwalls, asap. They love to suck moisture. Might get mold if not painted.

The right way to promote e-mobility. Looking forward to the BMW i3 Test. So many 94Ah on market.

Love these winter tests 👍 It would be great to have some nice shots / views from Geilo, with the hotels, the landscape and lights on ski slopes before you start driving back to Jesheim. PS: Love "Risengrød med kanelsukker og smørklat" too 😋

I'm not a fan of VW but i have to admit that e-golf is a much nicer car as a used one😮😮❤❤

As Jeremy Clarkson have said many times on TopGear. All you need is a Golf as it does everything anyother car does, but better. As always, thanks for the uploads. Even a a fossil fuel driver, these videos are worth it's weight in gold. 😅

Nice winter episode! E-Golf ruled for 9 years...! For short daily commute should be perfect for everyone.

Very good to see fresh tests of the EVs of early adopters

All that wintertime up there. I can't believe it so much snow already.

I have a 2015 eGolf. When you get eco mode (

Lovely to see a dashboard covered in buttons. Fond memories.

So refreshing and interesting take on EV's keep it up🎉 As equal interestin as testing new cars

Awesome video as always Bjorn, You need to bring the microwave on every trip now and show us all the norwegian dishes you can warm up using the microwave. Love it

I like the Geilo test with older cars for some reason😍

Great to see used car in winter test. Thumb up

Cookery show meets e-car show, best Sunday evening viewing for a long time.

Nice video. Looking forward to the i3. I have one from 2014 as second car

Shout out to Elbilmek for demystifying the used EV market. A high mileage 22kWh i3 will be interesting...

This was my first Ev.A 2016 year Egolf.No issues at all in 5 years and 45 000km driven.My car was without the heatpump even.

Little off topic, but this Golf's have vary good FM radio. This before 2017 even have tuning knob. Best regards from a long time forever and FM radio enthusiast.

A colleague of mine had an egolf. It was not super nice to see "Climate comfort reduced" in the winter when the range neared zero.

I just love Norway

If you gonna paint the floor, use a 2k paint that are meant for it, and if you gonna use studded tires you also need to do a top layer och some protection or it will scratch the paint. ask me how I know ;)

If i remember correctly, you have used airfryier as well. Maybe a comparison of different cooking equipment for EVs ;) Maybe Phillips or other producers will sponsor you ;)

We still need those older chargers just maintain and update them

In my opinion the use of eco flow for heating during driving is a form of cheating on the result. I understand to bring those in form of a backup, but the test should not include using extra heating…

My 22kwh zoe with 140k km also had very little degradation compared to the leaf. Only about 12%

Are the maps of e-golf still updated with news charging points after 9 years?

1000km challenge would be awesome to see. Would probably be less "agony" than with leaf😂

Did the battery cool down going downhill? You mentioned that you wanted to keep an eye on it but never said the results (I don't think).

Did you know that rotating plate in microwave is because it has power peaks where waves get into resonance and ti would not heat it evenly if you do not turn your meal? These machines are also sort of optimised to focus power above the plate. I tried to put something under plate to get 10cm higher and it was much less heated than normally. I suggest to brign rotating plate next time. Bon Appétit :)

is your ecoflow running off its own battery pack?

♥♥♥

Test driving an eGolf almost kept me from buying electric. It was as slow as my '93 Impreza, or worse, and that range sucked. After it I tried a Fiat 500e which was even worse. I had 50 miles of range, then turned on the AC and had 30 miles of range displayed. It wasn't as quick as hyped, and even for a guy like me who likes smaller cars (or just doesn't like the gigantic SUVs and trucks that dominate here) it was tiny. Then I tried a Bolt and fell in love. Now that the honeymoon is over I recognize that 'Beverly' has faults, but she's still mine till she dies (probably). Caveat: This was years ago. I've gotten over range anxiety, mostly, and I could probably live with a 100 mile car nowadays if I had to. It's nice being able to drive up and visit my fam for the holidays without having to stop though.

How do you know what state a gas engine is in or how it was treated? Just because it was maintained with records does not necessarily mean it wasn't beat on. Maybe the closest would be a compression test, but that definitely cannot give you anywhere near a specific health value like most EVs can, and it still can't predict that the day after you buy it a catastrophic failure may occur like transmission dying or a bearing spinning because it felt like it.
