#Volvo #C40

Every EV car review: "it's a nice car ... but too expensive compared to a Tesla".

There’s a few of the XC40 Recharge in my neighborhood. They’re the ultimate sleeper car, imo. Aside from the grill, they’re impossible to tell from the ICE versions, but they are hella powerful. From a stoplight, they can dash to 60mph quicker than anything that isn’t a Performance or GT electric vehicle and will absolutely smoke 99% of ICE cars off the line.

The chargeport placement and Google OS are the car’s hidden powers. These Volvos would be great as a used car and will be valuable for years to come to the people who pay attention to these things.

Made in Ghent, Belgium, 🇧🇪 believe. That’s where my XC40 Recharge was made. Bought mine used. Good overview video. It has had a few connectivity issues that resolved themselves in a few days. It is pretty inefficient compared to my e-Golf. I have road tripped it several time for ~1200 mile round trip journeys and it charges well, pulling a peak of about 160 kW. Route planning preconditioning for battery works well. Navigation tends to be pessimistic on arrival SoC. I have never taken it below 11% SoC so not sure when turtle mode kicks in. It is super powerful. I have plus version so no ADAS. Wish Volvo would offer a subscription to get it. Can not wait for Supercharger J3400 adapter. Car does not have Plug&Charge.

Had any OTA'S been installed. Might be issue with navigation. Not had questionable route charger selections like you had in my Polestar 2.

I can’t get used to the giant chrome lined AC vents. They consume too much space.
Is it made in EU or China? Too expensive not to have adaptive cruise control.

Off topic: I the new “V4” Supercharger in Maine NEVI funded? Does it deliver 1000 V? Thanks.

For the price of a used one, you are better off going with a Tesla.

Again, another fail from a non Tesla brand
