Bjorn first has to eat some bananas :-D

Not enough Banana Boxes in Oslo to test with. 😂

And chipmunk mode!

be careful you can overload that van with empty banana boxes 😂😂😀🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

He is gonna die from potassium radiation. Don't kill him.

PolybosStudio Yess! Awesome idea!!

Just need to find someone to sponsor insurance...

Why Ikea ? There are 2 flyttelass to Tromsø on Nimber. :D

Would be really cool

@@MiesvanderLippe they use Renault Kangoo electric to deliver post around here (Trondheim, Norway), no need for a Crafter..

Yes, more weight would mean higher consumption. But it's still the drag from the wind that takes most of the energy. And for an ev, more weight would also mean that more energy can be regenerated when braking (though far from 100% of the energy used for acceleration). For an ICE-vehicle on the other hand, all the energy from acceleration will be lost when braking.

"the main goal for these vehicles is to carry cargo" that's right but also keep in mind that if you transport Cargo from point A-B you're likely to have trips where the Transporter is empty ;). Its probably not 50/50 but you get what i mean.

Starting with a heavy load takes a lot of energy to get going. A bigger regenerative capacitor might be a good idea in such a vehicle.

Because the vehicle starts out very heavy empty, you would have to have a maxed out load of heavy cargo to dip into the efficiency much.

@@Seanog1231 Actually regenerated energy is stored straight into main battery pack. No need for a capacitor. I have a custom BMS in my conversion so I can measure energy in and out separately. Turns out I can regenerate 20% on inner city driving.

That bag of rice was plenty heavy.

@@_PatrickO :-)

The thing is though that you can’t put a ton and a half cargo inside of it. Because the car itself already weighs 2 1/2 tons as Bjorn already mentioned in the last video. The maximum weight for these kind of cars is still 3.5 tons.

@@filip3148 OK, well whatever the maximum load capacity for the vehicle is. I'm just saying driving it empty does not give any realistic idea of how it would perform when actually working. It's a van, not a car.

Perhaps sign up to do Amazon deliverys for the day, it's called "Amazon Flex"

German Autobahn he will need much more banana boxes :-)

I don't think there is enough banana boxes in Norway

More cost to develop and manufacture.

Weight Limit and the usual driving distance for them used in the City is well below 100km for most of them.

In a Norwegian winter placing the charge port in the front is not a good idea. Remember the charge port of Kona (tested by Björn.)

@@arilaitala1977 Its electricity after all so you could have multiple charge ports. One on each side front and rear. Covering all bases. Its not like you need a fuel tank ;-) just a few more wires.

They are still trying to teach their customers how inadequate and useless electric vehicles are. The other option would be that they are incompetent. Judge for yourself:)

Don't you stop to have lunch or take a break? This time can be used for charging.

MrPaukann we do but only 1 hour a day. So from 9am till 11pm the vans will only get 1 hour to charge. Also remember with a freezer and a chiller running that has to take a lot of power as well

@@MrCuddlebear218, yeah, but with a fast charger it's a lot, almost a full recharge, I believe. How much do they consume? If it's sections, as you said, I don't think it's much more than 1-2 kw/h. 1,5*14= 21kwh, a lot for a day, but with a recharge, you still can cover a lot of distance.

MrPaukann like was said at the end of the vid. If you add a bigger battery you lose cargo capacity. Just don't think with current battery's it's practical right now. As well the van in this vid is 2.5 ton by the sounds of it so it can carry 1000kg in the back. Well after you add all the steal bars to hold our trays, a fridge and freezer and a bigger battery you might not have much more than 400kg of capacity left

I think we are 4 years away before EV vans take over the UK delivery market, need lighter more energy dense batteries, 280mile range at 50% Load (for 220 mile routes ) and cost no more than 25% of a diesel version, then it's all change. I can see all the national delivery companies moving when that happens. They may also decide to install there own rapid chargers at strategic location to allow for more challenging longer routes. Bad part is there will be a mountain of second hand diesel vans , a scrapage scheme would be better than letter them loose on the second hand market. Sadly I cant see the UK government helping here, it's just lip service to EVs, very little substance and these old diesels will get reused again and again.Normally reusing stuff is great, but not when it comes to polluting diesels.

Yep that was a question I was going to also ask. The range is pretty low empty so when full of goodies I expect the range to be much less. You need IMO at least 150km with Full Payload for this to be practical or a charge time of less than 30 mins so while having lunch you could top up if needed. All this range stuff should go away with more efficient battery systems I hope come to market soon. What is on offer today is .....ok ishhh but I expect much more range for this to be practical. It will happen. This is also a good insight to maybe EV Motorhomes ;-) with a decent range of course :-

i like EVs e crafter its useless peace of shiiiiit. What for you need 11m2 space for? Hey or straw, empty banana boxes? Make that box shorter or less tall add 30% battery and then will be ok usefully efficient box van. 1000kg can be loaded in small Berlingo (compact van). Nisan Env200 its much better van then that shiiiiieeet from WV.

​@@tomaskonkol8894 have you ever driven a van? Try to load 1000 kg of bread in a Berlingo. Or 3-4 3-seater sofas or other big furnitures.. I've driven Transit and Boxer for many many years, sometimes you use all the weight + a little bit extra, but most of the time you use the space.

E-crafter takes about 950kgs of cargo. That would be a meaningful road test.

@@michaeldawson6309 i work in a warehouse, been asking how many km per day courriers do ( DHL/ TNT ) all of them said 200km at least and some times up to 300km. And there justveating while driving ( no 30 min charging ). So battery tech has to improve a lot and their behavor to ( in order to charge during a brake)

Insp. Moore that’s how it’s pronounced in German. V makes a ‘f’ sound in German. I like to think of it as Volkswagen -> Folk’s wagon -> People’s Car (literal translation of the name).

@@borisdemelo Oh, and I thought my whole life the real meaning is False Wagon 😏

You really like to live in a desert ? :D

He probably needs a license to drive it

I wonder what range those mini buses get?

@@michaeldawson6309 Damn good question.

@@bardhi0105 Yes, D1 licence required for those.

Here is the link to IVECO. www.iveco.com/ivecobus/en-us/products/pages/iveco-bus-minibus-daily-electric.aspx

@@richard--s Indeed. That's what I thought he meant.

Oh yes he should absolutely

That's called load balancing bananas in front rice at the back.

Even a Hyundai Nexo (5:25). I didn't even know that they exist in reality. Just thought this is only available for media drives in korea.

Karls Geoguessr Abenteuer Hyundai nexo isn’t an EV

@@KarlsGeoguessrAbenteuer when I lived in Tromsø (northern city, not as EV dense as Oslo) I saw a couple of 2nd gen RAV4 EVs driving around town. They were only sold in California. I think it's virtually free to import EVs (looking at taxes, fossil car imports are crazy expensive) so tons of them are. When I look at Leafs online I have to pay attention to the fog lights and infotainment buttons so I know if it's a US or Euro model.

Except the frickin cold weather and cloudy days for months !

@@dan_6915 Cold and clouds are cool. I hate summer.

EV's yes they are "everywhere", hydrogen no. I think there is something like 5-6 H2 stations in Norway, hense we only have a few cars.

+Quentin Cope At least put the charge port in frot of the doors like Ampera-e, I-Pace and e-tron.

IMHO, just put the charge port on a corner, it doesn't really matter which.

I don't think he has driving license to drive anything heavier than 3500kg and/or more than 8 seats. He might have BE, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tow those huge trailers.

@@jur4x Bjørn has BE license.

@ That's what I thought.

What do you mean?

@@bjornnyland Broken electrical device covered in snow and water doesn't look very safe, that's all. I was partially joking.

Not sure what your friend meant but you do need a B licence to drive those on the road.
