Formerly a programmer at the University of Oslo and Statistics Norway,[citation needed] Nyland started his YouTube channel in 2010 with a video showing an onboard ride in a Renault Laguna Diesel doing 200 km/h (125 mph) on a German Autobahn.
Nyland slowly hypermiled his Model S for 18 hours in 2015 to a "Record-Breaking 452.8 Miles On A Single Charge"[1][2] Nyland has pioneered[citation needed] and repeatedly tested a number of electric cars according to his method called the 1000 km challenge,[3] in which the vehicle must cover 1000 km (621 mi) as quickly as possible; the result is the sum of the time spent driving and the time spent at charging stations.
The tests take place on Norwegian, and sometimes Swedish, roads, which have good DC fast charging infrastructure but generally lower speed limits than German or French highways.
[citation needed] The team set this record using the IONITY 350 kW quick chargers Demminer Land at Bundesautobahn 20 to the north of Berlin because currently, that network is significantly faster than Tesla's Superchargers (v2).
[citation needed] Nyland lives in Jessheim[12] married to a Thai woman, known by nickname Amm or stage name Ammery.
