This Friday I‘m getting my C40😊. Normally I would take a Mercedes EQC, but I waited a long time for them fixing their bugs and they didn‘t. I rented the EQC three times for re-testing, but nothing changed. Not even a bit!
After driving so many German cars, now I decided the first time for the Swedish Quality.
Thank you for your excellent videos!

Can confirm the C40 charges like a beast. Has become my road trip car. Absolutely love this EV.

Would love to se a 1000km challenge from Oslo to Stockholm. Going around the lake Mälaren, south side heading in and north side heading out. Or vice versa.

Any chance of a re-do of the challenge for the XC40 to see if they have made improvements since your last test?

[BNHardwarereviews]

Love that you shit on the software, when you just have to press on the crosshair to not lock it :)

Early spring for you and a late one for us 230 km north of Québec city, I watched this video and dreamed . We’ve still a pile of snow on our lawn 7 ft-2 metres deep and -14 c today.

[SuperCaryG]

Impressive. Being a former XC40 owner I was really cheering for Volvo to give me an option to my MY. Bravo Volvo

Hi Bjorn, I love your 1000 km challenges. Since a couple of months i’ve got an Mini Electric SE. You have done some reviews before but I was wondering if you would like to do an 1000 KM challenge with the Mini. I know the range isn’t that good but just interested to see how it will perform (especially with a bit better weather) like May/June period.

[joshfrench]

Agreed on a 5 min deduction. I know its a 1000km challenge and all but you need to make it home to wifey, so a"courtesy charge sesh" is pretty standard. it's more like a 1035km challenge for bjorn.

Picked up a C40 today. Fantastic to see this result.

[WillDeasy]

Bjorn, thanks for raising the Tritium issue. In Australia over 50% of these 50 -350 kw are broken and often for MONTHS. Awaiting parts. It's an absolute scam, clearly these are unreliable chargers. What's even funny is they are made in Australia.

I feel like Volvo is really trying to move away from trying to become Audi for the longest time and are now instead looking to Tesla. Volvo has always tried to do the right thing, but they just never had enough sales to really take of. I hope the electrification will be the turningpoint for Volvo. I feel like it's the only european car brand that tries to do things right although with limited resources in comparison to the other european brands.

All 78kw Polestars and Volvo’s use these charging curves now. Nice to know I could do this in my Polestar.

Any test of c40/xc40 Single motor standard range? The official wltp range figures are almost the same as dual motor long range, but I doubt it irl. Would be interesting to see a test from you.

[Chrisbs]

Efficiency and fast charging. The best combo

[berthogendoorn]

Glad you did not try to arrive with 5%, you would have seen Mr Turtle too many times! I wonder how slow you would be driving at 5% state of charge, maybe 50KM/hr?

[toomasargel]

08:00 Ideal temeperature for EV-s are 12 until + 19 Celcius / 53 F until 66 F .

Great video bjorn your a funny man can’t wait for the next video

[Eastbird]

Can you please make a tutorial how to get the fastest from a to b with a vehicle? Not the exact numbers for a specific vehicle, but the knowledge you use to achieve the best time that can be used on any electric car.
