Good video! Would be interesting with a test of the front-wheel drive XC40 when it is available. Also a test where you tow a caravan with the XC40 or Polestar 2, since they can tow 1500kg. Greetings from Sweden😀

Superb Kris !! Love this new test !! That makes even better your channel. Which is already stunning. Keep it up man, you are doing amazingly good !!! Greetings ;)

Well done for the new sponsor! The channel is growing

Thanks for doing this Kris, you rock. Pick up my own 2022 XC40 Recharge Pro spec (no p8 anymore) on Monday. Really, really, really excited to pick up my very first new car and its full electric.. Went for it after watching your videos mate, I'm signed up, Volvo for me for many many years. They made me an offer I could not refuse. .LOL :D Good work on the vids man..

Showing the charging curve is awesome 😎

Very good video Kris . Good to know this since I am waiting for my Xc40 in denim blue in Mars . Hilsen fra Bergen

Enjoy my 2022xc40 p8 since a month. June software. Getting used to driving this phenomenal luxurious car. Driving pleasure square! Intuitive! I’m Dutch but absolutely no Max Verstappen. NB Havard Hansen: my 72 year old ears observe the same high pitched tone at cruising speeds (90-100-110 km/h). Guess it’s the drive train, indeed. NB Kris: Great test again! Keep going and keep your smile! NB just received info about upcoming new software with again improved battery management (=longer range????..)

Kris, congratulations 👍 on a new sponsor BKK .. seems like a ton of gains with the new test .. just too bad you can’t compare the new v2 testing with the old v1.. but going forward will be awesome overall ... you rock as always .. keep up with the great content.. 👍 BTW Kyle and Tom from insideEV from the US is in your neck of the woods.

From the dashboard layout (Pilot Assist icons), I can see that the car you are driving is still on an outdated "software". Later updates (late June) have brought (supposedly) some range improvements.

As always Kris quality test video

Thank you Kris for doing this test. I really appreciate the value of the new motorway range test. For many of us over 600km is too much for 90% of our domestic trips and we have to stop anyways (food,restroom,etc...). It would be nice if you can go closer to 0% state of charge though but I guess we need more BKK charging stations. 😉

The point of the test is that is not too long so we can test cars with shorter range too and get back to the starting point 😊 especially in winter we struggled with the old test to get back, hopefully this new test works better 😊

Curious to find out if you could hear a high-pitch whining noise at cruising speed. I ask since you’re still young enough to hear it 😁 I have this in my XC40, almost certain it’s related to the drivetrain. Keep the great vids coming!

I want to see you eat at the restaurant… subscribed

hi kris these days polestar and volvo have reduced prices in oslo how about a test on the updated polestar single motor thank keep up the good work

This looks like a great standardised test. Not too long (you could do 2 in a day!) & not too short, flat and more consistent traffic conditions like you said. I enjoy your videos Chris, the information is really valuable for potential buyers and as you develop your test regimes this will only get better. If you want to calculate a new stat from your figures --> what is the real available battery capacity in this particular car/battery pack? From this test drive: 230.7 km driven 78% of available battery used 249wh per km consumption 230.7 x 249 = 57,444Wh capacity used (= the 78%) 57,444 ÷ 0.78 = 73.65kWh, = 100% on the readout, real available battery capacity for this individual car. Then there's the question - does the car's OS use this real value to calculate range or does it calculate only from the fixed 75kWh figure? How "honest" is the system or what is the % discrepancy if it does not use the real-time value. Can it be manually corrected in the OS? So now you can also see the battery pack degradation from the "as new" figure of 75kWh available or net capacity = 1.8% degradation (73.65 ÷ 75 x 100 = 98.2%) = 98.2% remaining of the standard figure & 1.35kWh capacity loss. This battery pack has a 98.2% "State Of Health" (SOH) at whatever age and kms + stationary "on" hours of use it is at (lifetime "on" hours is shown by connecting the OBD to an app). In normal use most of the degradation will occur in the first year and then slow down. If a previous owner (or a car journalist! Not you Chris but I have seen it done deliberately by an English one to 6 cars!) has driven the car below 0% and to the absolute end of the low-end buffer, when it will not drive anymore at all, then severe degradation/damage may have occurred if the car does not have a battery protection cut-off. This might be important as the second hand market grows over the next few years (and is already significant for Teslas) and the health of the battery pack is definitely worth knowing before purchasing a second hand or ex-demo EV car, maybe to negotiate a discount or to rule it out if it is too severe a reduction in range. A car's battery pack warranty may say, for example, "up to 8 years or 160,000kms" but buried in the small print it may also say, for example, "below a limit of 70% SOH". So if a car's battery pack has degraded to below an SOH of 70% within 8 years or 160,000kms (by my example) it may be replaced under warranty.

Will you put the Polestar DM and SM versions trough your new test routine ? Then we will finally know if the SM version goes further on the motorway than the DM 🤔 Thanks a lot in advance✌

Hi kris, great insight! Do you know how this 4wd dual motor compares to the fwd single motor version?

Will you test the assemble finish and panel gaps?

Hi Kris, i noticed that the charging speed wasn’t showed in the car display, I watched another video with XC40 last night and that XC40 showed the speed just like the Polestar 2 do now days. Maybe just an software update that are needed right? 😊

Hi Kris, Like Matt Bowen, I’m also picking up a 2022 XC40 Recharge Pro spec (not a P8) in December. I note on your spreadsheet, because you are using the P8, the wheel size is 19-inch. The Pro spec is 20-inch. Is there anything else which is different between the P8 and Pro spec and would that difference in tyre size be significant? I only mention this because on your new Audi E-Tron GT 'Motorway Range Test' video, at around 04:30 into the video, you mentioned the potential difference driving on 21-inch wheels against 20-inch wheels. I just wondered if the same could be true of the XC40 Recharge Pro? Will you be testing the 2022 XC40 Recharge Pro spec car...?

It was a bit hard to see the screen because of the sun and reflexions. Love these Delta chargers👍 Have worked flawlessly when I' ve used them. 110 kmh is pretty fast but still Volvo.. . 25 kWh/100 km in absolutely ideal conditions is not great. In winter... Keep it up Kris!

Jag ställer frågan rakt ut då jag ser en ”Persson här:) Vilken bil ska man egentligen köpa idag? Har ärligt gått från polestar till tesla m3 och kollar även lite på ID4 . Börjar bli less på att jämföra men det känns som att båda ID4 och tesla m3 får hyfsad range, självklart är de inte i samma genre bilar men den ska vara till en familj av 4. Laddar hemma och åker långt 1-3 ggr per år inom Sverige mest. Sorry om jag bara kastar ut frågan i fel forum här :) Hälsningar från Tullinge.

Hade velat att stötdämparna var lite mjukare… Egentligen tycker jag id4 är en bättre byggd bil men dom ren ev gillar jag teslans koncept… Det knäppa är att när ”bygger” Id4an på hemsidan så drar det iväg när man lägger på utrustning som är ganska standard enligt mig… det blir dyrare än teslan tyvärr nypris.

Det kanske är så att du har haft otur med id3an... Det beror ju på när du köpte den och vilka typ av fel du haft, rörde det mer mjukvara än hårdvara? Jag pratar med min fru gällande eventuellt att köpa en billigare "tilsvidare-bil" som åtminstone klarar 5mil på en laddning ... isf hybrid plug-in eller ren el. Med tanke på att den kommer att vara ganska temporär så skulle jag vilja att den enkelt går att sälja vidare också isf nästa år och då vet jag inte om hybrid är mer tilltalande som andrahandsbil eller el? Antar att hybriden är mer ett säkert kort... Jag är nyfiken på hur mkt Mazdan kostar ca begagnad,,, ?

Weirdly high consumption. I have a stretch of around 200km that I've driven like 10 times, 1/3 of that road is 120km/h the rest 110 km/h. Consumption is always around 20-21 (depending on wind and traffic), never above 23. I am on the newer software update though, but shouldn't make that much of a difference.

Hi Kris, i've been watching all your video's but just one small tip.. number your videos beceause as a new "viewer" it is verry difficult to tell the difference...

Good format, only for some cars 150kW won't be enough :) Question: Why aren't you putting the data into Google Sheets so that people can compare vehicles if they plan to obtain one? For the car, it seems less inefficient than I feared. 300km is not bad for an ICE-conversion, especially with two PSM motors which are permanently connected.

It's pathetic that the user must push in on the charging plug to successfully start charging. It's unacceptable IMHO for it to have poor contact / fail to initialize a charging session without pushing in on the plug.
