Unfortunately some people are just here to hate on EVs. Had their mind made up. I wonder how many even watched the video before making comments.
It’s a good video. The car is not for me but was glad to learn about it.

We have this wool with 2 little kids, and it's been fine so far. Easy to wipe clean and vacuum.

One of the top down to earth reviews I have seen. I'm watching 100s of different reviews. You have a nice way balancing between how deep you go. Also you stay perfectly to the point 100% all the time. I enjoined. Thank you!

I have this exact car in 2023 version and I love it! I charge at home and been averaging 240ish miles per 90 to 10% charge. Las Vegas has a ton of traffic so not a lot of consumption.

As far as off roading, there's literally no difference between this and the XC40 besides the rear end styling. Nice review!

[danielmapp]

Do a lot of people watch EV reviews just to prove they are “right” about not wanting one?

[troels]

0ne of the best testdrive I've seen for a long time

[hereigoagain]

Great review! I just bought a used 2023 C40 with 12K miles for less than $30K! Never thought I could afford a Volvo or an EV.

[PerroneFord]

Glad to see more EVs like this. Just regular looking cars that HAPPEN to be EV. Still too expensive for a lot of people, but we're getting there. Volvo's aren't inexpensive in in their ICE form. Good video.

One thing people often overlook about range anxiety is that the issue is not limited to electric. If you were in a gas vehicle, driving in a remote area, you could also find yourself in a situation where you are low on fuel with no station nearby. So it’s always important to research your route.

The thing that I don’t like about the fake leather is that it doesn’t breathe, so you have a tendency to sweat unless the seats are cooled.

I actually like electric cars. I think they are a cool tech, and I’m sort of a gadget geek. However, that being said, there needs to be many, many improvements in charge times, range, availability of public charging (not to mention properly operating public chargers, as you experienced in this video) price compared to petrol vehicles, etc etc before these are anything other than a very small minority of vehicles. And I have a feeling if governments/car manufacturers try to “force” these vehicles onto consumers, which some states will be doing in the next few years, the car manufacturers in those states will see a fairly precipitous drop in new car sales as electrics are simply not financially viable nor practical for a large majority of people and people will keep their current petrol cars until the wheels fall off. All that said, this is actually a pretty sweet ride. And another good quality video Ryan, thanks.

Wool being an animal product is not vegan

[Kiss__Kiss]

Good Morning Ryan. I don't like EVs, period... But this thing is cool looking (Dare I say, looks somewhat like a BMW X4. Especially from the back).

[lucashuang]

Hi, I really like your content and after watching this video, may I suggest an off road test and review of the Mercedes EQE or EQS SUV? I've seen you test out the eqs sedan and I would like to see an off road test of the EQS SUV or eqe suv

[lukiw]

I knew that You gonna take it off road. Great review. Greetings

[MarkkuInkinen-dztw]

Thanks for good tips to driwing my new c40

[patrick]

I'm confused by the range discussion. Will I make it etc. I thought the Google system told you expected arrival percentage and was extremely accurate.

[cubguy]

theres also a trip reset button inset on the outer part of the turn signal. it even says RESET on it. the entire car is very intuitive. it takes ten minutes or less to learn it all. when you take delivery at a volvo dealer a product specialist walks thru it all.

[fortniteharambe]

Very interesting to watch this and his GV60 video and observe the subjectivity in play. Check out the cargo and rear seat area sections for instance.
