I think you need to repeat this test. The new software 1.7 for XC 40 supposedly gets more range, US EPA went up from 208 to 223 miles, and faster charging.
I always look at the charging time in these tests, and 19 minutes slower than the Mach E and 17 minutes slower than the Model Y isn’t that bad. In real life, you’d probably want to stop at least once in each direction anyway. Chances are you won’t even notice, unless you’re really in a hurry. And I really think the XC40 makes up for it in other areas. 🔥 If you’re not after a particularly big car, but still a real SUV. Keep up the good work! Can’t wait for your next videos. Those wheels on the e-tron GT look humongous though.. 😬
Great video! Thanks for including the charging logistics and the minor anxieties at Circle K at 15:55. Not being an EV owner (yet), these are the types of things that are good to know pre-purchase. Keep up the good work and thanks again!
Kris, 👍 great content .. It is always fun to watch Norway roads and scenery thank you!.... For me the first leg of your trip from 100% to 1% tells me allot about the car .. 👍 BTW in your new test format can you please think of adding True Real world time .. the actual time it takes without any correction or stopping the timer etc.. yes rank remain base on corrected time for whatever the reason traffic, stop lights etc.. and yes we all know when you do a test with traffic it will be slower, but to be honest because you are doing a real world test base of that day/time road condition it’s good to know what it would have really been, just an idea..
Great video, wow the XC40 is so slow but if i would get an EV today i would still pick the XC40 above all other SUV ones and even Polestar 2 ;-D 50 min extra on a vacation trip means nothing to me as i'm not the stressed out type of guy :)
Hi Kris. Love your thoroughness in your videos. Must say that your videos convinced us, that it had to be the Volvo. I have one question though. You living in Norway, have the Google Automotive learned Norwegian yet? We are still waiting for Danish and as long it won't talk Danish, it is nothing special.
I’ve had the P8 for 6 months now, and it’s undoubtedly an amazing car. Did 3000km across Norway this summer and enjoyed every meter. If you’re all about metrics and isolating performance like these tests, there’s probably better EVs out there, but the drive is far better than several of the cars we tried. Average consumption is fairly low, although it is thirsty in 100+km/t, haven’t had to deal with range anxiety ever as there’s always several opportunities within the range the car has to get juiced, and charges by the time I get a snack and stretch my legs, so in a real life situation it’s more than good enough for my use. Cannot speak for the Mustang, I dislike the interior so much that I stopped considering it once I saw the inside.
Shure about the tires? 19” on the MY21 came with Continental EcoContact 6 normally and the the 20” with Pirelli P-Zero. MY22 always comes with Pirelli Scorpion SF2 All-season.
When you navigate it to the circle k did you put it into your Google maps as an EV charge location or just as a gas station? Reading the Manual, it seems to state that the car will not properly precondition the battery for charging unless you put the waypoint as an EV charging station into Google maps. So I'm curious how you put it in which may be addresses how slow it was charging at the second stop not including all the people.?
@@xm4kl because the XC40 is one of the few cars that run android automotive, and I'm curious to know what that implies. I suspect this is the reason the sunroofs button is sensitive, for example; so that it can also be triggered from other sources than the button itself.
@@felixsanhueza No. The Google Assistant controls climate and infotainment and links in with internet enabled home devices but all other car systems are walled off. So I can tell it to lock the back door at my house, but I can’t tell it to lower the windows on my car. If you have kids old enough to speak you’ll definitely appreciate this. 😉
Volvo er fine biler når de funker, synd det var så mye tull på de nye V90. Hadde 2 stk, en ble kjøpet hevet på og den andre kvittet jeg meg med når den hadde verkstedbesøk en gang hver mnd over et helt år. Tror muligens XC40 er bedre skrudd, snop bil, du blir nok fornøyd :) Jeg gikk selv for Model 3, utelukkende pga ladenettverk, rekkevidden, 4x4 og kampanjerente som gjorde det veldig gunstig.
@@runeversveen9598 True but only if you put it into the GPS as a charge point. Otherwise it doesn't preheat it from what I read in the manual. You actually have to select a waypoint that is a charge point and the car has to know that it's driving to a EV charge point and then it starts to preheat it. At least that's what's in the manual.
