130 km/h long distance with the Volvo C40 Single Motor

[@mdshovel]

You don't have to delve into menus on the screen. Just say "Hey Google" or press the voice command button - then tell it "turn steering assist on/off" etc, etc.

[@BatteryLife]

That would be even more annoying. press a button, wait, hope it does it right. Takes 10 seconds.

[@mdshovel]

​@@BatteryLife I find any steering assist annoying - even dangerous, so have it set at off as default. More dangerous to turn your attention to a screen from the road to make touch selections. The voice command confirms the action taken

You have to make the same exercise for tesla Model Y long range…good work though and thanks for been accurate and comprehensive…

At 5:44 the C40 did not seem as stable and quiet as Walter at 130 km/h 🤔. What was your impression? ☮️

[@BatteryLife]

Walter is better 😉

[@backwoodsbungalow9674]

At 9:46 291 Wh/km (about 2.1 miles per kWh) at highway speed sounds a bit high ☹️. What energy consumption would you expect from Walter in similar weather conditions? 🤔

[@BatteryLife]

I did a winter test with Walter. Don't know the results now.

[@timofthomas]

What difference does running at an internal temp of 18C make to the range versus your 22C? I usually run cooler to conserve fuel in an ICE car (engine too cold uses more fuel) and was going to do the same in the Enyaq.

[@Lorwildrose]

Thanks Nice car. Just needs a little more tweaking. Here in Canada it only comes as AWD. The Core is $62350 with winter pkg.

[@harry7384]

nice looking car but unfortunately catastrophic consumption on the highway...

[@willmac5642]

Yes not great for road trips.

[@TassieEV]

What do you mean by the caption above your head at the end "...but you cannot the charger that Google Maps chose"??? I assume you mean change the charger? Is that with the in-car nav or using Google Maps on your phone? I've heard the route planner with Android Automotive(different from Android Auto) which Volvo, Polestar, Renault are all using for their in car infotainment systems is quite good, 2nd to the Tesla route planner at least currently. Forgot to say for that battery size and what looks like a aerodynamic design it is rather inefficient, only ~230km or so for 100% charge in that weather.

[@BatteryLife]

I guess I cannot type. Sorry. Google maps will plan chargers for you on a long trip But you cannot change the chargers it selected.

[@Nocturnalcan]

So how many kms really you can go with a fully charged Volvo c40?

[@bertsteenbergen6729]

Has this one not been replaced by the 175 kW RWD version?

[@paulg2923]

Not until 2024

[@bertsteenbergen6729]

@@paulg2923 in NL its the only non AWD version you can order, likewise for te XC 40 and its Polestar sibling

@@bertsteenbergen6729 yep, but not delivering until later this year. There are none on the road right now. Only the front wheel versions. He can't test what hasn't been built.

[@bertsteenbergen6729]

@@paulg2923 absolutely true but it makes the test for potential new buyer a bit less relevant, still interesting if you bought one and wait for delivery

Its Van Hool a Belgium bus brand

[@snabbis]

Wrong info. I think only around 130kW max charging speed on this battery.

[@BatteryLife]

That is true. It says so on the sheet from Volvo, but our peak was 135 kW

[@herehere3935]

Bad about Volvo is they dont care to differilentiate twin motor model appearance from single motor. They look identical. Damn!!! I wish Volvo care more...... Single motor should have sth. lower grade like exterior parts not the same. Interior trim .....seat material.....no glass roof...or different ambient light. Damn im mad

[@flu3n148]

i do 1056km on a full tank at 130kmh i my 2017 volvo v60 d4 diesel in vinter with -4. that is 0,15 € per km with my average diesel price. what is is the average price for you par km in the volvo c40?

[@lynski4033]

I did a 3400 km road trip with my C40 last week (Germany, France & Spain). The average consumption for the trip was 27 kWh/100 km. Charging with Ionity at 0.40€/kWh, that comes out to 0.11€/km. That is currently very high as we're in the middle of an energy crisis in Europe, and the fast-charging prices have nearly doubled compared to last summer. But still, charging at home you can get around 0.03€/km, but also roaming fast-charging can go as high as 0.20€/km.

[@kreidefelsen]

230KM in einem Auto dieser Preisklasse....Wahnsinn. So schlecht waren die Bedingungen meiner Meinung auch nicht. Wer kauft so etwas? Danke für das Video!

[@Johan87577]

I am.

Extreme consumption, poor self driving, wow I expected much more from Volvo :-) It is not to easy be like Tesla Y or ID4 or Ioniq 5 :-)

[@Johan87577]

Too bad build quality on Tesla and vw is shit

ID4?😂

Heavy car compared to Tesla. Tbh awd model makes more sense
