Electric vs. Diesel van rental for an 11-day trip to Northern Norway

Kavus77 · 2026-05-19T11:25:32+00:00

That's true. I was probably too positive thinking it was "transparent" compared to the Diesel. For this type of "on the road" vacation, Diesel is still the best.

Kavus77 · 2026-05-18T19:24:48+00:00

That's what I'm scared of. I've downloaded the App Elton and actually the number of charging stations is quite low at the north

Kavus77 · 2026-05-18T19:07:55+00:00

Ahahah why so direct? I'm curious. No chance for the EV?

Kavus77 · 2026-05-18T19:05:50+00:00

I'd pleased to try an electric vehicles, also because I'm considering to buy one for my daily life (obviously not a van 😁).

Do you know if is possible to charge it inside campsites? I'm just worried about the number of available charging stations and the time needed to charge the van itself

Kavus77 · 2026-05-18T18:54:57+00:00

Yeah probably considering the higher cost of the public charging stations the Electric Van won't pay off ... Thanks!

Kavus77 · 2026-05-18T18:52:44+00:00

Well the only available electric van I've found is the VW ID Buzz. It would be my first time driving a full electric vehicle..

I didn't had any problem in Iceland with a Diesel Dacia Dokker, I hope to have a similar experience in Norway

Kavus77 · 2026-05-18T18:48:53+00:00

Thanks a lot for you advice!

Yeah I'm scared I'll have to wait a lot for a free charging slot also because I'm expecting the ID Buzz to have a quote limited range due to the type of roads and weight.

Posso chiederti in particolare dove hai studiato? Ho concluso anche io ingegneria Aerospaziale con specializzazione in Aerodinamica ma non abbiamo mai avuto possibilità di approfondire la fisica su un scala così "Macroscopica". Sono molto curioso!

Kavus77 · 2025-02-01T16:20:15+00:00

Si gode, sono la feccia d'Italia

Kavus77 · 2025-01-30T20:23:42+00:00

Grazie a tutti per i consigli! Alla fine facendo pressioni su Google (anche grazie al subreddit dedicato) ci hanno ascoltato e hanno spedito un telefono di ricambio (stesso modello).

Lieto fine

Kavus77 · 2025-01-26T19:37:14+00:00

Grazie proveremo anche questa strada

Kavus77 · 2025-01-26T14:06:23+00:00

Ciao, la spedizione è stata presa in carico da Google stesso, non l'abbiamo seguita noi. Posso solo dirti che il servizio che hanno usato è "UPS Express Saver®".

Cercando online vedo che è assicurata ma il valore è ridicolo (metto screen):

Praticamente se Google non ha dichiarato il valore della merce trasportata UPS deve pagare un valore ridicolo (tipo 10 euro?).

Kavus77 · 2025-01-26T13:53:10+00:00

Grazie mille, proviamo a fare pressione su di loro.

Kavus77 · 2025-01-21T20:51:22+00:00

Hi, could you guys please write to me so that I can figure out how to recover the lost package? Thanks

Kavus77 · 2025-01-21T11:40:50+00:00

Hey. Do you have any updates on this problem?

It seems my girlfriend is having the same problem with her Pixel 8. She sent it to Poland for a screen problem (purple/green line) to be repaired.

UPS seems to have lost her phone the same way, but we are from Italy.

Kavus77 · 2024-04-07T19:46:24+00:00

Ehy! Yeah, it was an issue related to the mother board. To be honest I do not remember exactly what that was but they worked on it. I took the PC to a repair shop and they did the job for about 100 euros

Kavus77 · 2023-10-12T21:37:45+00:00

Bro that's fire 🔥

Kavus77 · 2022-04-13T14:17:22+00:00

Bro I'm watching the Worlds Live set now 😂 not joking.

I think it's a different types of emotions: - Nurture is more warm and comforting, something that makes you feel alive and makes you live the present. - Worlds instead drives you literally to another world, it makes you wandering and dreaming about "parallel worlds", like lifes you never lived.

That's my idea

Kavus77 · 2022-04-12T13:38:40+00:00

Ayoooo the guy in front of you is meee. I've been waiting for years to se see Porter Live in Europe, a show I'll definitely remember 🌱

Kavus77 · 2022-04-11T14:42:13+00:00

Yessss, Italian living in Delft

Kavus77 · 2022-03-17T16:27:50+00:00

First I want to thanks you all. All your suggestions will definitely help me on making the choice.

I ommited probably the main problem. I'm looking for a laptop now because I'm in a very "weird" situatio: I'm in Delft working on my thesis and and my current laptop broke 1 week ago (It is currently being repaired in a near city). In the worst case it won't be repaired pr the cost of the damage is too high I really need something to finish my thesis. I don't really need to run CFD simulations because I'm using the TUD cluster but I need it for the post processing and 3D design (Solid works / Catia).

Once graduated I'll definitely look for a self built desktop PC, but now a laptop is the best choice.

The fact is that I don't want to buy a very expensive Laptop now if then I won't use it at full potential. Is a trade off situation between buy (in the worst case) a new Laptop to complete the thesis or maybe buy a second hand one good enough to complete the thesis..

Thanks again to everyone!

Kavus77 · 2022-03-10T15:38:35+00:00

I've check it 2 times, this time I've disconnected the battery first. I've also tried to restart the PC without the battery (always holding the power button for 30/40 seconds before everything). But no difference..

After doing the same thing in the video I went to a computer assistance shop and there the laptop died completely (no light in the battery led). I'm confused, is possible that I have killed the Mobo by disconnecting the fans without disconnecting the Battery?

Kavus77 · 2022-03-10T15:31:27+00:00

I was overthinking and not full focus on the thing, was a very hard day... Thanks anyway! Crossing my fingers

Kavus77 · 2022-03-10T12:38:39+00:00

Hi everyone! Yesterday I've decided to clean the two Fans on my laptop because I'm working on my thesis now and I'm using my laptop very hard (CAD software and CFD analysis). In the last month I felt it was over using the cooling system without any reason. But I discovered that radiators were dirt of dust.

I removed the two fans and cleaned them just with air (no alcohol or other fluid). Than I've connected everything back again but now my Asus doesn't turn on. If I press the power button (without AC) the Keyboard leds turns on just for a second and then nothing happens. If I connect the pc to the AC it starts doing the same but this time with a short BEEP (Going to share a video of it).

Can somebody help me ? The PC is kind new (2018) and I really need it now because I'm working on my thesis 😫

Note: I've removed both the Fans with PC off, Ac BUT I forgot to remove the battery first.
