When you say ok google in your videos, you are giving my google home commands and just changed the ac in my house to 67 degrees.

[@TFLEV]

Apologies! Trigger phrases will be muted in videos featuring voice assistants from now on. Glad your Google home has odd (not just even) increments of adjustment 😁 -Max

[@oliverstemp9132]

Haha

[@rodneydean8686]

Max is doing a great job! Love this review and extremely informative! Love TFLEV!!!

[@bradythegenius2123]

max is one of the best reviewers on tfl. doing EVs really suits him well, super great at going over everything. Love to see more of him on the channel

[@Stikkelsbær]

Good first review. As someone who leapt into journalism in my early 20s, I know what this is like. Keep up the good effort. I would be interested in an updated review of the 2023 Chevy Bolt. GM has been fixing the battery issue they had and now the price is considerably lower than any competitor vehicle with the same range. I also really like the Bolt's smaller footprint.

[@jbmcdoogle]

Good job Max! A great review everything can understand and appreciate

[@ChristopherDillman]

18:40 - So 33 min to charge from 0 to 80% ? Not bad.

[@kotter1792]

Hey max I would like to see a video which compares the different changing companies machines and apps. It seems as if TFL is all about giving EA free press. I have found charge point to be better, cheaper, and offer several free charge areas. Also evgo, greenlots are other options. Just my 2 cents great video love the style on the car.

[@JohnPMiller]

14:55 I would also like to see competitors, but TFL's free press always seems to show problems, such as contactless payments not working this time at Electrify America.

[@kotter1792]

@@JohnPMiller I agree but even bad press can be good press. The big thing for me to is cost. In the end they seem to use it as their sole peovider. EA is almost 2x .43 vs .18-.23expensive around here and offers nothing extra. It is my last vs 1st choice

[@TFLEV]

We have no relationship with EA but use them in our area because they’re the closest and most frequently available. You’ll definitely see Chargepoint and other networks in more videos to come. -Max

[@kotter1792]

@@TFLEV Thanks Max! I appreciate all of the teams hard work and the informative content. I definitely check TFL content when it comes to making informed decisions.

[@TrainsFerriesFeet]

I've also found ChargePoint to be more reliable, but most of their "fast" chargers deliver a lower level of charging.

[@Andrew-bt7tn]

It would be really cool to see a road trip comparison of a Tesla vs some other EV. It would really show the difference in charging infrastructure for the two cars. We road tripped our Model 3 from Charleston, SC to Fort Collins and it was a pleasure!

[@hereigoagain5050]

Max, nice review. Just got a great deal on a used 2023 C40 from Carvana / Hertz and will pick it up next week. Hope it is as good as your review!

[@albinflyckt7983]

I laughed at seeing Sveriges Radio (Swedish public service radio) app installed, has this car spent time with swedish reviewers? 😂

[@jamc204]

Great review--very thorough and concise. I also like the blue carpeting--it's nice to have colors.

[@hildebrandt-carl]

Nice review max!

[@1970351C2V]

Good video. Like that you're following your own format.

[@albinflyckt7983]

Thank you for setting off all my assistant devices like ten times 😌

[@tocor71]

Thanks... From Portugal

[@nadodgeskn]

Got to drive these regularly during the winter, plus some of the first customer order units to the dealership i worked at. I was a lot tech at a volvo dealership and these c40s are real nice besides the rear "windshield" and the range. Great power, good interior, not good visibility, sensors work but to an extent. Range is low but as long as you have the re-gen braking on all of the time you should be fine. The shifter does get me but as a lot tech I drive alot of different cars so with that taken into account some time with the car you will adjust just fine.

[@TrainsFerriesFeet]

Good review, Max.

[@ColJonSquall1]

The whole google found a supercharger thing could be in reference to the recent testing that Tesla is doing in Europe, where they're starting to accept other makes of vehicle to use their supercharging network (as overseas, the EU has Tesla using J1772 connections with CCS connectors too).

[@JustAboveAveragePodcast]

Lol the Electrify America wouldn't start from the NFC reader so I had to use my phone....which is fairly consistent with what I experience often 😅

[@cypvh74]

Test drove the xc40 recharge. It’s really really nice. But I’m going to wait for the Polestar 3 reveal and pricing.

[@rockstertx]

Would love to see a P1800 retro EV or the P1800 ES EV done up using the same skateboard... I think that would be a winner for the Brand.

[@Tware8100]

You would think with time. Using a skateboard platform, they could use classic bodies on them. Maybe a few tweaks to fit the skateboard.

[@kesler171717]

Hockey Sticks too probably not just skis !

[@gilbertofigueroa6262]

We need more information

[@DougNoOnions]

Damn! Don't say "ok Google"

[@GeorgeGeo]

I like weird quirky cars.. and this car is hitting me in good ways.

[@DaniTheNachoPirate]

When he says "button" the pronunciation kinda bothers me. Still a great video nonetheless!

[@JohnPMiller]

As an old guy, I don't think this looks like a Volvo. It looks more like a Geely than a Volvo. As former Volvo marketing director Emory Lesson said, "They're boxy, but they're good."😉

[@Oaky]

Not a fan of the sloped back. Wish they kept it the same

[@stevefradley]

If you prefer the look of the XC40, then get the XC40 Recharge. Same dual motor setup as the C40, just in the more conventional look.

[@superset5]

if you're the channels "electric guy", why don't you have an EA membership? Makes no sense why you don't have one. It's crazy cheap.

[@TFLEV]

As a company we have a membership, but I used a personal EA account this time because it’s the first time I’ve done this myself. -Max

[@asw2005]

My 2023 Volvo C40 has a steering wheel that vibrates very badly, making it quite annoying and UNSAFE to drive, and Volvo doesn’t want to fix it. Lemon Law

[@the_jarmel]

Have a beautiful day Everyone

[@kenyattaclay7666]

Okay seriously, it isn’t like people having voice assistants is a new thing or that you are a small channel & just learning how to edit videos. You need to mute the trigger commands like basically EVERY other channel does.

[@TFLEV]

Will keep this in mind for next time. Sorry for triggering anyone’s Assistant! -Max

[@AaronKelley1969]

Dude, please stop implying that leather is not sustainable. It's far more sustainable than most man-made products which usually are crafted from hydrocarbons and frankly preferable to any leather substitute due to its durability.

[@oliverstemp9132]

I think the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron is better. Then the Nissan Ariya might be a better all rounder too, or even the ID4

[@fadd6895]

Freedom and democracy to Hong Kong before i will buy a volvo .

[@mbukukanyau]

To be fair, it’s China’s finest

[@MrCarlyMS]

Nice car squirrel bladder.

[@BotsisAnargyros]

The car is Chinese, built in China by Geely. Swedish it is not

[@mr.foxwiz1653]

If only you wouldn't say "OK GOOGLE" because my Google answers it. Very annoying.

[@camdawg9805]

Hey thanks for the elevator music!!!!! You made an educational video and made it intolerable to watch.

[@dfwvtxman]

This seemed more like a Google commercial than a car review.

[@chomihai]

Aaah no, it’s the chinese

[@fredm6421]

That is one ugly vehicle. I hope the other features and price can offset the styling.

[@mr.foxwiz1653]

And there is NO Federal Tax credit for purchase. There is that.

[@MrSovrin]

Wow a Chinese car that doesn't come with a Chinese price tag... No thanks

[@cypvh74]

The C40 is also made in Belgium.

[@420killahkush]

Volvo is now owned by Geely-A Chinese company.
