Mercedes EQC Norway road trip part 1 

At 20:12 the guy with his brand new good looking e-VW and Bjørn says "is it the old one?". The guy's face 😒. That e-golf really looked great

Love those led active matrix headlights. Glad to see MB using led lighting for mood lighting.

This drive was very scenic. I especially like the majestic look of mountains in Norway. Keep them coming Bjorn!

I think the screens are deliberately awkward to reach, that's why the touch pad exists. Its prob a safety concern. If you use a touch pad you are more likely to use peripheral vision, if you use touch your more likely to look at the screen directly.

Bjørn spends so much time with Mercedes EQC so I think MC Hammer is jealous and maybe the car starts playing ABBA song "Lay All Your Love On Me" at the highest volume.

you have good contacts Bjorn :) keep up the good work. Really like your videos.

In June I drove the EQC from the Factory to Milan and back. It was really great and the consumption was very low. One Time charging and about 23kWh/100km 👍🏻

From my feeling the EQC is a very good "CAR" but a not so good "electric car"

iPace vs EQC vs e-tron race is what I'd love to see Bjorn!

I think it is a good car and I understand why MB took the GLC basis for the EQC. Love the car and your Videos Björn.

beautiful scenic route.

I don't care much about which car you are driving, but thank you for showing the awesome landscapes of your amazing country!

I was there in Aurland this summer! In that same stop!

Björn rambling about the LEDs. "I kinda like that shit" hahaha

It seems like the Ionity chargers start off at normal speed for a while, and then ramp up to hyper speeds.

Hey, nice Video. You can use also the right touchpad in the steeringwheel to control the right screen! Or the big Touchpad in the middle. So you have three choices to control. Every one find his favourite.

Ah yis, roadtrip time! Instant upvote.

My Mercedes B250E is also non linear : 100% Charge on the car display is actually 28kw. So if you press the 'range extend' button ( which enables the full 33kw charge ) the car continues to show 100% even though it is still charging an extra 5kw. The other thing I've learned is that when your range looking low, never, never, never look at the guesstimated range left. Always, Always , Always look at the battery percentage. Mine still operates at 1% ( I've pulled onto my drive at 2% more than once ). It's far less anxiety inducing. Anyway, thanks for the early look at this car on a long journey.

Great vid as always Bjørn!!!!!!!. Do you have access to the EQC Mercedes Me App? And if so what are the features and how does it compare to the Tesla app?

Thanks for the video!

I don't understand why they have the center screen so far back.. weird! Why not put it closer to the user and added bonus benefit of more sound insulation behind it :) You are of course never supposed to touch the screen while driving anyway but.. yeah.. that's not going to happen :D

Nice scenery do you pass any Wing suits jumping country? Beautiful car not that I ever can afford one.

It’s really growing on me. Definitely has some great luxury compared to the Model x . Wish the EQC was bigger or the EQE was out lol

Thanks for the video

All the tech in the car looks super cool and interesting... but it really seems like the touchscreen is very unergonomic and the UI very inconvenient to use. At least the software is running very smoothly.

You are the best for information for etc thank you

16:42 nice. Does the Fan icon next to the battery mean that the battery is cooled. Or that pre condition is active?

Like the massage and the quietness. However, the car exterior looks so bland if not ugly. Well except for the rear light when it turns on at night. Does Mercedes make this EV for only old people?

Does the car have an adaptive suspension? So could you put it to sports mode or comfort mode?

Enjoying Elg pølse while watching this video :D

Thomas has been converted👍

Was the surprisingly low ride height any issue? (apparently just 9.7cm or bout 4")

Why dont you use the touchpad to navigate the infotainment system????

0:20 Mercedes letting off some steam...

It seems the battery is made with 96 cells in series and at 10% SOC charging at fairly high rate. The pack voltage was 361V that means 3.76V per cell and due to high charge rate that should be right and pack just be at 10% but then at 10% energy counter was at 1.62kWh and at 13% it got to 2.42kWh so that is 3% SOC increase with just 0.8kWh put in thus if that was linear it will mean just a 27kWh pack :) so super non linear SOC calculator. Then at 90% the pack voltage was 399V / 96s = 4.15V that is fairly high and I will say it is at least 90% SOC and energy counter was at around 50kW that is from around 4% SOC to 90% SOC so about 58kWh usable maybe rounded to 60kWh but not more than that.

@Bjørn - can you also measure noise level outside ? for example when this car roll next to you at 40-50 km/h it's really noisy, with the Model 3 and i3 I have the feeling that they are much more quiet. I live an are where Mercedes is testing all their cars so I saw and heard them even as prototypes. So at the end I'm not sure if with EV's our cities will get more quiet that much. P.S. I hate it's headlights -they're blinding me all the time

Where is Jourgen these days? We need more Jourgen

At 9:42 i can see 3 pins for AC charging. Does it charge on 3phase? Earlier i heard that it charges only on 2 phases with 7,2kW.

I vote safety but realize that the safety comes from the tech!

Does the eqc precondition battery like Tesla’s do? Could that explain the rapid depletion toward the end of your trip leg?

Why did you use the RFID Chip? What about Mercedes me charge?

i smell a eqc vs molde x race!

0:13 normally when I oop- Sksksksk.. some hissing there

EQC taillights looks like Taycan taillights

The SuC in åsane is one of the only SuC without ccs

I need to know what is the real life range for 130km/hr speed

0:16 isnt that just the air suspension?

Did you just spend the whole day in Sport mode? and then wonder where the mileage went? ;-)

Bjørn Nyland...the asian norwegian go to guy if you want to power up.

That screen is put so far, so you won't by trying to touch it while driving, which is distracting.

Does the car have auto pilot?

for reaching the screen i would say, your arms are to short ... - but seeing that video i am a little shocked how "perfect" that car is compared to Tesla. Ok, you have not the acceleration of a Tesla, but who needs that in daily use of a car. Would like to see more about maximum range and energie consumption in next video.

I’m still amazed that folks in Norway like the ones using the Ionity charger waited for and bought the Audi etron. I’d love to hear that sales discussion: “I’d like to buy an EV please. It must have below average range and efficiency, average performance and a big silly grille. Oh and it must have 4 rings and be much too expensive”. Sales person: “Ah, so you want an etron?”

i miss the space for my Luggage in the frunk

EQC the best electric car. Can you confirm that, Mr. Nyland?

The screen placement is so bad. And I think Mercedes knows it which is why the touchpad was put in. Clearly someone in the design department won out over function.

It look like Mercedes have not figured out the basic knowledge for the EVs. The korean, american and french cars do not have these problems with the BMS and SOC.

What do you do for a living besides RU-vid? You seem to go on a lot of road trips. Enviable life.

It's not a LEAD bar, it's an L E D bar. :D

looks like a bad battery.

Forget Audi. The Mercedes is much better. But then again, nothing beats Tesla Model 3.

🥴the front of the car look like a year 2000

Is it a bit of a pointless car? It is slightly smaller compared to the E-Tron, it chargers slower, has about the same range, is not buildt like an EV «from the ground up», meaning that it really shows that it basically is the GLC, but electric. It has no frunk, still has the massive tunnel in the back from the GLC and has really poor ground clearance. I dont get it. The price is not very different to the E-Tron, and the EQC is missing a lot. Does not mean that it cannot be a decent EV, but given what the retail on one of these is about the same as the E-Tron is not positive.

Wow ~15kWh smaller battery than Tesla Model S which can do >500km in one charge and this does only 200... poor.

Wow - RGB lighting from the PC now hits the car. Expected audience: 16 years old hipster kiddies.

Those screens looks so laggy and that design looks like 2006 design.

EQC is definitely nicer than the e-turd

Mercedes is proudly the producer of the worst infotainment system. Tried it in the B45 and C63s: worst experience ever and very laggy at times.
