00:00Just a few years ago people would have considered as completely crazy to take
00:07battery electric vehicles and go to North Cape right in the middle of winter.
00:11With a team of six people we took four of our four-wheel-drive cars in standard
00:16configuration all the way from Stuttgart to North Cape. We used public
00:20available infrastructure on the way and that was part of the idea behind the
00:25strip. We wanted to give evidence that any customer can go to North Cape with
00:30our battery electric vehicles without any major issues. We went through beautiful
00:36countryside and wonderful scenery with a lot of snow in the sunshine and under
00:42these conditions battery electric vehicles make the most sense and becomes
00:46obvious that protecting environment is such a positive aspect about battery EVs
00:51and even when you think about cold temperatures our consumption in average
00:56did not go up as much as anybody would expect. We were just consuming a couple
01:01of percents more for intensive heating of course but in the range of just a few
01:06percent. Our cars are safe, reliable, comfortable and even fun to drive even
01:12under these untypical driving conditions. This was a wonderful experience that the
01:18whole team was looking forward to. The key learning from this is the advice to all
01:24our customers that they can trust our cars and go for very interesting trips and
01:29experiences and create wonderful memories.
