I noticed that compared to your other EV videos, no frustration because the EV chargers worked. Great EVs are now available, we need to build out the infrastructure NOW to keep the experience good

Sorry that I said “Hey Google” and all your devices went off. I won’t do it again ❤️

I actually like Volvos line up of cars. Their infotainment is simple. Interior is basically a mix between luxury and standard. Their designs are nice. They have creative little additions

1, 000 thank you for reviewing cars not by reading the tech specs, but genuinely showing what they can do and how they can improve your life. For example that garbage bin or the way you unlock the car and start driving or leave the car was awesome. Because the tech specs say nothing about how the car handles or is used on a daily basis.

Just bought mine! 0-60 is actually closer to 4.2 seconds! This thing is a beast! Loving the seats and materials they used.

This is the best ev car review you have made. Nice flow in the review, no charging complaints 👍🏼 Loved it! A+

[SegerGiesbers]

Really like the shots like zooming on the cruise control buttons! So easy to understand for us viewers

Love everything about it, except the price.

Great EV review! Love your videos. Just wanted to point out a bit of EV etiquette that I just learned about. The C40 Recharge (and most EVs on the market) can’t charge over 150kw, so it makes no difference whether you use the 350kw charger or the 150kw charger, your charging speed will be the same. However, some cars, like the Taycan and IONIQ 5 can charge at speeds over 150kw. So, unless it’s the only charger available, you should leave the 350kw chargers open for those who can utilize them.

Viewers might be interested in knowing that there are three "Usage" modes (which are activated automatically). In the "Comfort" mode, when someone sits in the driver's seat ** *or* ** when the center display is used or started via the media button in the tunnel console (possibly when the driver's seat is unoccupied):
- The center display can be used.
- The infotainment system starts automatically (same as while driving).
- The climate system starts automatically (same as while driving).
- The power seats can be adjusted.
- Power windows, Bluetooth, navigation, phone and windshield wipers can be used.
- The 12-volt electrical socket in the cargo compartment can be used.
- USB ports can be used.
Also, Apple Car Play became available for the both the C40 and XC40 Recharge in July 2022 with the V2.2 (over-the-air) software update.

I like this above driver forward look camera view while taking cliche corner, helps you get a feel for body roll. Great review

Volvo did a very good job with this car. Love the Google integration. Like every other EV, they will sell as many as they produce.

Investigating and integrating the sound of a frozen branch breaking into the turn signal sound is SO Swedish. Honestly.

[RoshanZ]

Loved your honest content. I test drove it today, and damn it feels solid at, the grip, the gravity to road, fast and the comfort ofcourse. What I didn't like is the center screen size, no sunroof, no set back seat for the driver but other than this, this car is a gem.

I almost blew off this review because I didn't think this was my type of vehicle. I'm glad I watched it. Great review and surprisingly, I like this thing.

Just bought this vehicle 4 days ago. Loving it! Just wish the android automotive OS would support audible as an app instead of having to play it from my phone using Bluetooth

[joelcrow]

This is a great little car! These HP numbers used to be sports car goals…crazy how much power it has despite being the smaller cheaper version

[ChristopherDillman]

Another great review. So intrigued with this sled. There's a used 2022 C40 at my local dealer for a shade under 38k, and only 16k miles. Catch? No idea - but thanks to this review will check it out. 👍

An AMAZING video!! The vibes were great since the chargers weren't an issue. The C40 looks awesome, hope to see some on the road moving forward 👍🏼
