CORRECTION!!

Usable battery is 79kWh and not 78kWh! Actual range is therefore 332km and not 328km!

Sorry for the mistake!

These range improvements we are seeing across many brands are just the beginning. Keep in mind we are still in the VERY early stages of EV development. Car companies are really good at making gradual engineering and technical improvements to their products over time - it's part of their basic business model. Looking at Youtube videos gives you an idea of what is to come - axial flux motors that are very powerful, but smaller and lighter. Batteries with more capacity, less weight, improved safety. Overall efficiency improvements with heat pumps and lightwieght castings etc. It's all pointing to future EVs that are dramatically improved over what we have now and it's pretty exciting.

Hi Kris,

I suggest to make a Europe tour through as much countries as possible and make a video about the infrastructure for loading electric cars. Most questions that people are asking me is about this subject.

[husby]

Oh, I like this car. So smart 🤩 and I also will get it soon in the 24 Version. Video is well done 👏🏻

[DavidWilliams-beps]

I’ve averaged 3.7miles/kWh over the first 3000 miles in my 23 fwd C40 on 20” wheels Best road trip so far was 265miles (427km) with 7% battery left (65% country roads, 35% motorway). Tyre pressures are as important as anything for good range

[seatroutonfilm]

Good video. 2 comments: Netto battery is 79 not 78😁
And if you wanna be really serious about rangetest next time, then go for the standard 19 inch aero wheels. 20 is gonna cost quite a lot of more juice (and comfort too)

[lukepenny]

As a UK viewer it would be great too see a uk road trip 👍

[Stan-at-KangarooIslandTV]

I agree that this is such a gorgeous looking car. I like the red one, not normally my colour, but for some reason looks cherry! Interesting the Polestar got even better numbers, must be down to aerodynamics. I’d like to see you drive the C40 down to Morocco - you could take down some assistance or raise awareness of the recent earthquake.

[scanor]

Take it to Galway or Cliffs of Mohair in Ireland. That should be quite a challange

[SCORPiiON]

PS2 or C40, either way I'll watch every video. Good content 👍

[ronedwards]

Please list miles also. Makes it easier for us in North America.

[abraxastulammo]

Oh, your new car? Love good improvements unlike ID.3 where they forgot them. 😂

[ynse]

Would be nice to see you do an comparsion of c40/polestar 2 and your Porsche. Plus and minus and are Porsche so much better compared the price?

[PierreSimonsson]

6:50 Recharge and Kempower and Fortum Charge and drive Tagg is the ultimate charging is so easy even better then a Non tesla at a Supercharger. and also Fortums Prise is coming closer to Teslas prices :D

[larguitto]

Hello. Last day the 27th I bought a C40 at a dealership. The purchase was made by choosing one from their website. How can I know if the model is from 2024?

[soobinhyun]

Very curious about 2024 c40 RWD highway range :)

[andrei]

I've heard that in USA (and here in Brazil too, second a dealer) the XC40 and C40 Twin got the new engines but kept the same battery pack (no increased capacity). Is that true?

[schinudomsu]

There is something unequivocally right about this Volvo C40 Recharge. It is not gorgeous. It is not gigantic. It is not loud. It is not tough.... It is just damn right!

[abraxastulammo]

9:17 Enyaq Coupe RS 10 % more efficient than Volvo C40 still - and this is with the old motors. 😳
Please test the updated 250 kW version. 👍

[TekinBozbey]

I have 2021 Honda CRV 1.5 AWD and spends 5L/100km petrol fee/electric fee = 23.7kW/100km as on the same road condition and speed as this. So, I do not think the electric vehicles are still efficient.
