Thank you so much for nearly 50,000 subscribers!! This is essentially our 50k special - we really appreciate all of your viewership and for allowing us to take these insane road trips and to share them with you. Thanks again to Kris for making this trip amazing and being a great tour guide. We are living in a dream world!

You have the best EV channel ever. Thank you for your hard work.

16:48 The batteries on left and right is at each terminal, to give higher charging power than the grid can supply. It says in Norwegian "charging onshore battery while ferry is underway". Interestingly this ferry is a catamaran design, with azipull propellers on each end of only one of the hulls. 19:57 This cable can only be for overnight charging, or charging in other harbours than the dedicated terminals, it would have to be even bigger to replace the robotic charging connection :)

Kyle in a parking garage is like a little kid in a candy store. :-)

Tap water is generally of high quality in Norway, so it is less common to buy bottled still water. That's why most bottled water is sparkling. As for the charging situation, you are probably visiting on a weekday outside of vacations. Most people are at work and are not on long distance roadtrips. Just wait until the Friday before a national holiday or something. It will probably be packed.

You have to stop buying potato chips and snacks at the gas station - it's double the price. You also do not buy water - there is tap water and all tap water is 100% clean and drinkable.

*In Germany, what you buy is mostly mineral water, comes in "sprudelnd" / "spritzig" (sparkling), "medium" (soft sparkling) and "still" (no sparkling).* However, if you don't want sparkling water, you can also use water from the tap. Unless there is a warning sign saying "Kein Trinkwasser" ("No drinking water"), it is of high, drinkable quality and very strictly controlled at the water works. However, it may taste and feel differently depending on the region. Let the water run for a minute or so before drinking, so you don't get stale water. From what I can see in the other comments, it seems to be similar in Norway.

Amazing video! Just to point something out. On the electric ferry, the "Norled" - arm thingy is not a charger. It's actually a mooring device. It moors the boat using vacuum. The charger is actually hidden in the tower behind, an could not be seen on the video. :)

This is Tesla Bjorn, American style. And Markusbil is providing the car, amazing :) Love this video. I will need to go there next year. This year I am in Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Love our troops.

Absolutely loved this video! Wow what a place I can't wait to visit since I found out my heritage shows I'm from Norway.

So nice. No diesel fumes in the ferry and beautiful scenery in the perfect car

Hola!

Thanks for you two guys, very cute couple, no stress it's very calm to watch your vlogs 👍

Stunning views. Norway seems like an amazingly beautiful country. Thanks for producing this video.

This and part 1 have been really useful, as we are planning our trip to Norway driving a Model 3 from the UK. It is incredible to see how far ahead Norway is in its support for EVs and has certainly taken the anxiety regarding charging out of the equation - so thank you!

The electric ferries are very new, so they've had some issues since introduced. Most ferry docks have those charges now, so the infrastructure is there at least. 90% of norways electric production comes from hydropower. It's around 1/6th of the worlds total hydopower. cant wait for part 3!

"if you have children with no legs" that was brutal 😁

My ancestral homeland. Can't wait to visit there someday. Thanks for sharing...

THIS is what I call a road trip video, guys! 10/10! Loved it!

I want to visit Norway, they seem to see the value in moving to fully electric. So awesome.

You’ve just secured my 2024 holiday great content

59:59 Rent these little cabins hahah good one - these are temporary barracks for rest / warmth for construction workers.

Glad you to enjoyd Norway, welcome back a ohter time. Great Video

Rock skipping is still legal, so go right ahead. The most I ever got was 7 skips, but usually it is about 4. Glad you enjoy our country. We all have chargers at home, and we drive short distances normally, so no extra charging needed. Sparkling water has hard bottle. Still water has soft bottle. Easy to find, just squeeze the bottle.

@16:45 What you're looking at is a 260 kWh battery buffer on each land side due to low power available from the grid. They charge at over 1.4 MW while docked, but that is to much for the local grid, so they charge these up when the ferry is not docked to provide more power. With over 900kW that is around 75kWh in just 5 minutes while its docked. @42:27 There was a charger, but its a different one with like a grey tower with a cable hanging down from it. Can see it at 36:30 looking like a mirrored 7 on the left side of the dock. The brown building behind the van is the substation for the supply. They probably didn't complete the install on both sides and/or the ferries were not done. These days most of the main ferry crossings are all electric.

So nice to see you visiting my country. Happy to hear you enjoyed it! One of the ferries was probably gas powered, one was diesel and 2 were electric. The cabins in the end of the video are not for rent, but workers barracks and the socket outside them is to hook up power to to the barrack, not for charging a car. They are temporary structures, and when a building project is finished, they are driven away to other sites on a truck. You mentioned when by the lake and Alyssa was throwing rocks that "everything was illegal here". What was that about? Did you have a bad experience?

LOVE sparkling water! My fridge is full of the stuff. :) Yep, Norway is great.

You definitely need to experience Sunnmøre (with Ålesund) during the wonderful summer, with better wetter than what you experienced during this trip! Challenge to you: come back next year, during summer. Electric car touring of Sunnmøre with the Sunnmørs Alps, maybe a hike or two in the mountains for some breathtaking views? I’ll be happy to show you around and take you hiking!

Love this! Gee, you guys are TV quality! Thank you.

what beautiful views. thanks for this scenic road video

Well I am planning to visit Norway. Glad Marcusbil is offering electric rentals!

This is very interesting and entertaining to watch. I’ve never been further than Whistler, Vancouver, which is beautiful but watching your tour of Norway is really amazing both in seeing the similarities and great contrasts in their country. You just pointed out a diesel tank leak which illustrates how primitive the use of fossil fuels is. Seeing all the chargers and ev’s everywhere shows me how advanced Norway is in embracing the technology and modern clean living. It shows what can be done and hopefully what will be done in America although we appear to be lagging far behind. It’s really nice to see you and your girlfriend out there enjoying all of this together. I have my new Bolt. We both love it but we just drove our CRV hybrid to Beaufort about 300 miles away because of the anticipated range anxiety due to the lack of charger infrastructure. I’m hopeful that the situation improves over the next few years and we can start looking back on the fossil fuel age like we do the Stone Age.

Norway is what I dream American charging infrastructure will look like one day! Beautiful country too.

I definitely enjoy your trip through Norway and admire the infrastructure of the chargers..rich country .. greetings from Novi Sad

Norway looks beautiful. Awesome charging infrastructure. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, Norway. Walking in Oslo, been there, done that. But I have not driven up north around the fjords. Coming in the next few years. : )

I agree with you about the sparkling water. It was also an issue in Italy. They seem to love the fizz.

The "Diesel-truck" mentioned at 19:12 was a delivery-truck, carrying groceries. Thus having to run a beefy air-conditioning.

Ive never watched such long videos on youtube but your content is truly amazing!

cool roadtrip

Yeah. It's hard to find still water. It's because tap water is so much better than bottled water in Norway. But a bluish " Imsdal "is usually still water.

Good route you chose, nice views, Stranda - Liabygda near Geiranger is the best, drive that route every summer to Smøla

Funny that you actually past my parents house with your little detour before the bridge.

''It rains alot here'' damn right! haha. Bergen is beautiful in the summer when its not raining though

Nice video guys ... for the water, just squeeze the bottle, if sparkling will always be hard to squeze due to the compressed gas inside

I can't believe you got so close to the Atlantic Ocean Road and didn't go there??????!!!!!!

Damn you I had planned to go to bed at midnight. Oh well another hour can’t hurt.

Really, really good video- love it! You should absolutely come back in May - and cross Norway from south to north👍🇳🇴

The bath-room at 52:10 is dark, because light-switches for the Norwegian wet-rooms are often situated at the outside of the rooms. Exemption arises when there is a motion-detector involved.

Beautiful trip. Thanks

Bergen is known to be one of the rainiest city in Norway..

Nobody: Kyle: this ferry is so smooth

I'm hoping for the same development here in Sweden as well.

Love these trips. Thanks for another great video 😊

Beautiful scenery 👌

These videos are excellent.

You should have went to Oppdal, my home town. Now live near Trondheim and it's really a nice place to live. SuC here as well ;)

Those arms you see are suction cups to hold the ferry in place and the towers are the chargers.

If you still have some time left in Norway and heading back to Oslo, NIO just finished their first station for battery swap in Europe. In a city called Drammen, about 40 minutes outside Oslo.

Enjoy following all your content!

Cool video, such a shame you couldn't visit the northern part of Norway, which has the very best scenery (my personal opinion ofc).

Imagine living in a country where it is illegal to be in a public park wearing a sleeveless shirt. Oh, that’s Maryland, USA

Beautiful!!!!

Love your videos, specially Europe series

Instead of driving to Ålesund, you should have driven to Geiranger via Stryn and Gamle Strynefjellsveg, and then to Trollstigen. At Geiranger, you could have driven up to Dalsnibba.

I think it said the batteries at each side was at the dock as a buffer to fast charge.

Gosh I'd love to visit Norway, so pretty! Also it bothered me so much that you didn't close the hotel room door right away lol, makes me so nervous for some reason!

Very nice video. You could just travel countries and make video's and have a nice show with the nice music. You missed the sod covered roofs on the cabins at 29:10..............lol

Would be neat if you could charge on ferry

Hey Kyle, so cool to see your road trip. We took our Model 3 up to Norway from Germany in August this year. We took a different route since we spent about 2 weeks in NO so we got to take all the little backroads, mountain passes and and fjord crossings. Drove 4000km and only spent about 220 EUR for charging in the whole trip. Man I love driving electric. Loved all the electric ferries. On the ferry between Norway and Denmark you can even charge your car on the ferry but unfortunately that ferry is not electric. Also really funny we stayed at the same hotel in Alesund :) When exactly did you do your trip. Would have been so funny to run into you at the bar.

Simply beautiful !!! Ive been almost a dozen times. I’ve ridden those ferries and noticed how quite it was. A solar powered boat is in Flam. Hope you visited it ! Travels Flam to Gundvagen I think

The populations of Colorado and Norway are almost the same. Colorado has 5.85 million people and Norway has 5.3 million people.

Nice video. 11:00....just passed my place:)

Nice

You should visit Olden fjord and Loen fjord in Norway they are beautiful

I enjoyed the video, thanks :) It seems that you guys missed unfortunately a very spectacular and famous view from the Aksla viewpoint in Ålesund...

Sehr interessant, Danke.

This makes me wanna visit Norway so bad

Any road trip in Norway is likely to involve some ferry trips. At least until they build the amazing, crazy, underwater motorways!

If you are in Norway you should check out the NIO House in Oslo! And try the ES8!

There is an Electric Ferry between Denmark and Sweden. Has been in operation for some years now. Is also charged with an Robot arm

Alyssa pronounced Ålesund perfect

It's off season and if it's a week day then superchargers are normally emtpy. Different story if it's a Friday in summer.

Great video, the music is amazing. Who is the artist playing the video score?

Real Shit !

Rock skipping is probably not but joking about it being illegal probably is 🤣

Kyle - can’t get enough of your excellent videos! Been following you for years now and have a question. I’m an owner of a 2021 Model 3 and have a daughter AND a friend with a 21’ Model Y - Question - can you do a video on the Phantom Breaking issue? My latest event was 45mph road on Autopilot, 2 lane road with double yellow line and white lines on the edges. School bus started to pass and my 3 slammed on the brakes! Contacted Tesla and they need a specific time and date of the event. I will be sure to record this next time and submit a service request. Thanks for all the fun content! Take Care -

We do have a soundtrack for this called Theme from Norefjell. It would probably have been barred..

That was just the vacuum hook, the charger was on the big tower.

Norled flag looks extremely similar to the Puerto Rico flag! After looking it up its slightly different based off the star’s orientation. A bit interesting detail

A lot of people install chargers at home for overnight use!

Kyle sounded like he soiled his underpants at that garage when he listed all those electric cars. 😀

Fun fact about Bergen, it rains on average 360 days/year.

It’s not that you’re obsessed with electric ferries, you’re just astounded with how fast the Norwegian electric rollout has been. They went from having relatively no electric infrastructure in - 2013 to going soup to nuts on everything. They have hundreds of chargers in parking garages, drive through charging stations that have access when it snows. And all the chargers work as well as petrol gas pumps. They have the aforementioned ferries as well as electric buses…. And in The US we have relatively nothing. But I guess you can get much more done with a population of 5.3 million than you can with 330 million people.

Unfortunately the Model Y and Model 3 have only 11KW chargers. For their prices it's a bummer that they don't come with 22KW OBC.

Yes, "slow" driving. Lots of 70 KPH signs, which is around 45 MPH. 80 KPH is around 50 MPH. Good for sightseeing, though, I suppose. Weekday or not, the lack of other vehicles on the roads is utterly astonishing.

early gang

Another time, sparkling is "brus". Just if you are coming to either Norway or Denmark again and yes, sparkling water is nasty! Love the possitive attitude you guys always have, keep the awesome videoes coming guys..

There's a ferry pass that gives big discounts. I assume Marcus has his cars registered(?)

34:52 look at that mountain with a hole in it! “It’s a glacier”. Right.
