well they have improved the aerodynamics thats why they have the c40.
14 degrees colder than the old run with same efficiency, ill say its approx 15% more efficient than the old car
This isn't a EV car from the beginning so the efficiency will never be good. The EX30 will be much better.
I like your real-world tests, but I think it does not make too much sense to compare cars directly when the temperature is so different.
I would suggest that you really pick at least one car and test it under different conditions. Try this Volvo at summer conditions. I agree with you that you will get a way better time. Maybe also at rainy whether. That way, we get a better understanding of how much the conditions affect driving.
Last summer, I drove with my Polestar 2 from Stockholm to my favorite Ionity station at Granna and almost ran out of juice since it was raining. The consumption was way higher than normal.
It is NO swedisch car. It is Geely from China!
Good time, an autobahn cruiser such as lowly VW Passat TDI (way less expensive than this Volvo) would do it in 8 hours without breaking a swet but that time for an EV is OK. Holding on on my diesel Passat for the time being. Awaiting the Sodium battery equiped much cheaper EVs (regarding current EVs, why would I pay more for less range ?).
What App (Android or iPhone) did you use as an OBD port reader?
Bjorn goes to the dark side and becomes a left lane hugger.😂
Volvo swedish? Actually, Geely motors are chinese and Volvo is owned by them. So, china…
Denmark have 5-10 Celsius mostly this winter
Would the charging speed improve if you went deeper? Indeed, in summer the challenge will take 10:30 or less. Looking forward to the single motor long range test too. These seats are upholstered in real wool – also a nice Swedish touch.
16:30 I've always thought a brick has a drag coefficient of 1.0, so I've looked it up: several sources say it actually is 1.05.
edit – correcting: A brick is undefined (different w/l/h ratios possible), the 1.05 is for a cube (or a 1/1/1 brick)
In resume only 2 cars are acceptable the ID3 62kw and the 2023 Citroen eC4 all the others are s….t caring around expensive and useless batteries for nothing which is desastrouse from resources point of view and a pure waist of money buying such vehicles. Your reviews are excellent and your xls spreadsheet is great as it shows the facts nothing but the facts! Keep on I really like your reviews.
Honest question. When on a road trip, doesn’t these constant long charging pauses become exhausting/irritating? If you’re driving 120 km/h they become quite frequent. Stopping and charging every 2.5 h for 30 min just seems as a step back in terms of human development.
Here in Greece we have a pretty nice Winter. Great review.
You say it's a really cold winter in all of Europe but here in Belgium it's been kinda warm… it hasn't even frozen yet not even once! 😂 what the heck
Did your rear side windows get foggy?
Not so cold in the UK… Christmas day here was 13C (!)
It's so nice that the navigation if good. The quality and comfort are Volvo. But that consumption is crazy. It is a compact suv and not so aerodinamic but there must be something wrong in the electric area.
Driving 1000km in -10C degrees is nowhere near real world use. Not doing more than 2-300km in these conditions – where max 1 stop is required. With average conditions, driving 100 kmph the consomption would be around 22-25kwh / 100km.
Shouldnt be scared away from this wonderful car.
As always a great video. The consumption is pretty ridiculous for that rather low speed (120kmh is far below the speed limit here in CZ, leave alone Germany) even at the very low temperature.
Quality is great though…
It’s not fabric – it’s tailored wool, Volvo’s top spec 😀
very high consumption, waiting BYD Song L reviews
Sweden route again 👍👍😊😀
Swedish route is the best one 😊 Just dont drive thru Ucklum around 15-18 mon-fri and it will go pretty fast. Next time maybe you should put in a picture of the landslide in the video. It will take 2-3 years to repair the road.
There is a few new Mer fast chargers at Torp köpcentrum close to Coop. Very close to highway if you need to stop there.
Can you do a video about the status of the Easee charger situation? It’s not clear to me if they will survive, despite having an awesome product. Peter Esse, the Swedish tech YouTuber has been trash talking Easee.
Legacy automaker consumption
The 14 degree Celsius difference is more than sufficient for a 10% increase of energy consumption.
It would have been a sub 10h:30m run with an average temperature of around 6 degrees.
When are you going to Thailand? I wonder how charging infastructure improved over last year
This car just blow up before few days in Czech Republic. Probably from front electronic modules.
"Cold all over in Europe" – not in Poland :]
We have rain now, hah
❤❤❤
I really don’t get why there’s this trend to do not efficiently design cars. In the future when electricity prices will go much higher this will be a serious downside if you own such a car. I’d not consider anything other than Tesla for an EV.
Google for the win.
I'll look forward to the big Kia EV9 which as big as it is, has better drag co-efficiency, but nice to know it is a lot better than the last version.
Does that XC40 have a heat pump, maybe it uses a PTC heater for battery preconditioning cause such a high consumption?
You've stolen all the cold from Ontario Canada. I want it back so my ski hills open, so sick of endless rain…
Not really that cold in central Europe. You might have colder than usual locally, but there is no pan-european cold wave.
Above average temperatures here if anything, not even freezing most of the time unless you go to higher places 🙂
My Hyundai Ioniq 6 RWD can drive at 100 kmh and get a consumption of as little as 14kWh/100km (140Wh/km in your measure). On a trip down the coast two days ago I drove 97 km mostly at 100 kmh on a freeway and the consumption was 12.9kWh/100km. So this Volvo brick is a POS really.
Between this new XC40 Recharge AWD or the new Q4 55 e-tron quattro…very hard to choose.
Charging the Volvo indeed seems to be a challenge.
Thank god for fabric seats. I hate leather seats with a passion. When I bought my XC60 it came standard with leather seats and I "downgraded" so I didn't have so slide around on those stupid things.
In the Netherlands, the weather is around 8 °C. It's wet and windy…..
this car so thirstyy probably because of the car shape like a small box
Keep the brick, we can’t have all EV’s looking the same just for a bit of extra range.
