“I can’t wait to put some big Mexican in my mouth” - Bjorn Nyland 2020

"Hey google" ... video pauses. Bjorn just trolled half of the internet

Bjorn, thank you for uploading videos every day!!

Looking forward to the Mustang review ☺️

Thx Björn, always enjoy your videos 👍🏻😎

It’s a shame that the car is so thirsty!!

It's nice to see so many ID3 charging everywhere you go! It really seems to become the "People's EV" and it just came out a few months ago

Again, very enjoyable and humorous video! :-)

Thanks again for your perfect tests. Here in Belgium, where it is made(!), it costs more than 60.000 euro and we have no subsidies (a real shame compared to the rest of Europe!) so together with that high consumption it is a no go.

Damn you here I am trying to go to sleep and you upload a new video now I must watch it

That consumption is just embarrasing, not really in line with the purpose of the transition to EV's.

"This is a very dull colour" Sniff - that's the colour I like. :(

Bjorn: "Hey Google, what time is sunset". My Google: "Today, sunset is at 5:06PM". :D

Love this videos. Do you know when you can test the new Ford mach e?

I now know what time the sun sets today at my house🤣

7:00 did you tell him his parking was pathetic?

Perfect work Bjørn! People buying the Volvo for saving money need to see this video. It’s almost 50% more per km than my Taycan on the same chargers. Charging the Taycan on ionity it’s just a catastrophe to considering the running costs on this Volvo

You should do this test again because there was update which increase range and charging speed. Also I like to see sleeping in XC40 P8 in winter. Go Bjorn!

I have this car now for about 2/3 weeks. My consumption on the highway is around 25 atm (at 105 acc) in NL ( I think we have 8-10 degrees, wet as well) with airco on. So not sure why yours is > 30. I do agree its thirsty :) ! especially if you don't heat it up before you go (your software version is outdated, you didn't have that option yet I noticed) I really think the car was released to quick like the P2 - but I'm hoping with some software updates we can : 1. warm up the battery better, (no coldgate) and 2. hopefully throttle a bit later at fast charge (now at 45% I think, Im hoping 55/60 %) and perhaps get some range extension (but this is dreaming) on a side note - i love how it drives ! the speed is amazing and the way it handles is really good.

100% off-topic: Just spotted an ID.4 yesterday, charging up on the driveway of the owner. I’m impressed that VW managed to deliver ID.4’s to customers even before the end of this year. I’m in Holland btw.

Thank you Björn, maybe the HK is better than your System in your M3?

How many times and how much time did you spend charging to get that hungry box to go 1,000 km. Love your videos dude, I ordered a cybertruck 2 days ago, you're teaching me all about reality of owning electric car.

Hello Bjorn from Switzerland. Thanks for this Test. I tested the car two days ago for a trip of 40 kilometers and the consumation was about 33kw. The trip was 50% on normal streets and 50% on the highway with 110km/h. Why is the consumation so high? The reason of the design can not be the only one. Perhaps of different manufacturers of the e-motors? Software? The car is one of my favorites but will wait for the Audi Q4. It's interesting if you get an statement from Volvo.

11:22 Lady Bjorn: What is going on here

When Bjorn said "Hey Google..." My Bolt EV's android auto turned on Google . 😂

Tesla-Bjørn always tells us how bad the Leaf is. But on my Leaf 62 kWh, I stuggle to get the average consumption above 200 Wh/km even below freezing and snow/rain at 120 km/h. I have seen average go up to 220, but it usually drops to around 200 when I get to my destination. That is for 150 km driving on motorway. Will test when it gets really cold, if it happens. But the consuption on this XC40 was totally nuts.

Can you do efficiency test compared to the e-tron but give it a twist; what is the biggest number you can get? Does each car start to turn things down if you're using too much?

You could also call it the MegaMeter challenge😁

« Hei Google, put an alarm everyday at 3am and turn the lights off.»

Was this equipped with the heat pump option?

Being able to just leave the phone out to livestream the charging session with no worries it'll get stolen seems SO weird.

Looking forward to more challenges. Especially how the LFP Model 3 compares in terms of build quality and 1000km challenge. I am very intrigued to see how BYD will compare. They seem to have much more polished offerings. They are suppose to launch in Norway in January with the Tang and Han. CATL and BYD are the biggest producers of LFP batteries. Which require no rare materials, but seem to lack TMS due to being less energy dense.

Screen looks fast and smooth, like tesla fast :)

I might be the only one but- I really like this color👌 Might be a good idea to bring out an economy oriented version of this model. 150kW is enough, no AWD, probably the battery size can be decreased big time (and so the weight and price also) with equal range. Even better, bring out a non-SUV version, like a hatchback. That I would buy!

It's a relief that not only the VW ID3/4 software is buggy....(smirkkkkkk)

17:06 Confused Pikachu face

Hello Bjorn Tanks for your videos! Can you tell us more about the meaning of licence plates ? You said el28 means 24 kwh for the leaf right ?

Noby tests the preconditioning. Would be nice to see how much it affects the range.

Looks like you have been driving with the hood partly open (0:40), doesn't look like poor alignment. May have influenced the consumption a bit?

When is the test of the new Fiat e-500?

KIA..... NO KIA 🤣👍🏻

I received your phone call now Bjørn 😂 And I can confirm that this is more thirsty than my E-Tron 😬😬

Great video as always! I just didn't like the end note that it's significantly more expensive than diesel. Sure, on long trips while hammering it's true but that's not really representative of how people drive. A comment clarifying that's not true for everyday driving is important I think, especially on this video that will probably be seen by many non EV-converts.

So many videos these last couple of weeks, Bjorn. How do you have the time?

@Björn does the test car have a heatpump?

LOLOLOL love the pun bro "Nokia" lol

You still have the front hood open on the right side. =) See the gap between the hood and car body?

Does this XC40 have a heat pump? Here in Belgium that is something optional, and with 6°C average that could have some influence

Hey Bjorn, love your videos. Did you bychance sleep in the xc40?

Light test?

How much I love that car, 31kWh/100km is way to much.

Thanks, Bjorn. Lots of ID.3s! I was wondering how many hours of your life have been spent at charging stations? 🤔❓❔❓

Lights night test?

This is why there is no point watching other KZfaq car channels! Those types of metrics/analysis/testings then put into context (EV vs diesel) just don’t get covered! Thx Bjorn for your tests!

The Google commands almost made me upset but the Nokia joke made up for it.

Thx for the Test, the XC40 EV is a nice car, but the consumption is to high

32,1 kWh/100km ?!? 8-/ wow. Did You forget to release the handbrake?

There is subscription in Sweden you can charge for 399 sek per month (39,58€) as much as you want, so it is still cheaper then diesel brother. :)

Lol... Think its so funny. Saw the "Tilbuds"-sign. lol. I mean I know it means sale, but the funny thing is that in swedish "Tillbud" is kinda a bad thing and usually means people getting hurt somehow. lol.

I wanted it to badly be an awesome car.

Hi, in tesla Model 3 how much you pay if you charge at home, Gas Station. I mean how much for pay kWh to full tank ( and how much cost you 100km. about in NOK currency)??

I was really looking forward to this test. A year ago when we bought our model 3 we owned a volvo v70 and since we were volvo fans at the time we were considering waiting for this car to be released but we decided to buy a model 3 instead. Man am I glad I bought the tesla!

The parking skills of the e-tron guy were just horrible🤣

this grønn kontakt - mer stuff .... the old grønn kontakt rfid chips still work with this "mer" chargers?

Björn, why there are so some Audi E-Trons now in Norway? Norwegians don't like Tesla anymore?

Ok, I admit it... Kia, Nokia made me laugh 😄👍

Wasn't there tons of snow the other day? ......and, I'm keeping my diesel, for now.

19:00 that Kia joke tho. :o

The car is way too boxy, same drivetrain as the Polestar 2 and does 47wh/km more and the Polestar 2 itself is also quite boxy. I think Volvo has a lot of room for improvement in aerodynamics alone.

Great video! Why not a summary with more info /grafics?

It shows how good the Kona was from 2 years ago, smaller battery,slower charging, 2/3rds of the price and yet 45 mins quicker. Some of the new ev manufacturers need to ask themselves why they have made so little progress over the last two years given that they have had the benefit of two more years development,bigger batteries and significantly better/faster charging infrastructure and yet they still cant compete with a Korean car from 2 years ago.

Bjørn, If you had infinite money, which EV would you buy ?

I'm not much of an SUV fan, but as SUVs go, this is nice looking. The efficiency is awful, though, for the price. If I'm going to spend around $60,000, I'll get a Polestar or Model 3 Performance.

1000 km should cost about 65 euros at 25 kW. Petrol with 6 l/100km would cost over 130 euros. For this distance I would want to take rest stops anyway. I think I'm going electric for my next car. And the Volvo drives so damn well and I really loved the navi system. The single motor version of the car shouldn't eat so much power. In my short testing I got the consumption down to 26 kW on the dual motor version, so it should be doable easily, with a light right foot. :)

Not impressive for Volvo - nice SUV but the range is not exciting at all ! Also that guy that pulled into the stall near you - why did he not park better when using the charger and take up almost two stall parking spots ? I guess you cant fix stupid in some people..LOL Great review thanks ! I was looking forward to Volvo and was hoping for better range - but very disappointed !

Keep in mind this is Volvos first EVER Fully Electric car! The efficency is wanted to Get better with updates, and with never modell The battery probably also be improved. For being The first EVER fully Electric car in this early stage id say its very good. Come on, cut Volvo some slack

Why are a lot of the people charging pulling into spots so out of alignment?

Big mexican in my mouth😂

Hey Google, remind bjørn to not say hey Google.

Probably you have a to heavy gas foot on a very bulky car hence the high consumption.

Since when did anyone compare the consumption of sub5sec Audi/BMW/Mercedes ICE cars as the deal breaker? If the b-all we would all be driving diesel Fiat Pandas with 0-60 in 15secs. Most people driving 60k ($, Euro,£) cars wrong care if electricity is 5 or 10c a mile. It’s a factor not the factor. Interest declared: I drive a Polestar 2 ( and 15 year old petrol Fiat Panda which I love).

Why didn't they rename themself to BlueKontakt ..

Finally

6:23 park like a BMW driver?

17:06 that's what he said

"Kia.....Nokia" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Viel zu hoher Verbrauch! Und das bei nicht wirklich hoher Geschwindigkeit! Erstaunlich wie viele ID3 schon an den Ladesäulen stehen (waren im Video an den Ladepunkten 3 oder 4 Stück).

@0:40 - still half-open frunk ;-) How do you not notice this? (It might even affect range a teeny tiny bit.)

Mild annoyance that obviously doesn't really matter: I don't quite understand why you always convert down to watt hours in the hundreds, a kilowatt is a thousand watts. 32,4 kWh = 32.400 Wh, not 324.

Love the car a lot, but it’s sadly to thirsty

Lots of "OK Google" wake commands in this video which interrupts my Google Home's CCTV feed, which means I have to manually set it back up again each time. Bjørn, as a common courtesy, maybe mute the wake commands in future?

I don’t see all the points on this range test. Also didn’t mention the build quality of this car. Anyway 20 years ago we used the Nokia 3210 mobile phone, with an battery average range of a week. Now we all use iPhone with a battery range if you are lucky of one day. And no one is complainig about it, because you can charge nearly everywhere your devices. Soon will happen for cars too. The fact is that average km daily usage per driver is 30/40 km ( home- hoffice - hoffice - home ) + maybe a week end trip once a month? . If we charge the car at home and office every day, the battery range is more than enough and is not a problem at all. And how many time in life we drive for 1000km trip? In my life never. Because if i Have to cover such a long distance is better choose a fast train or a plane which is way faster and cheaper than go by car. The only problem i see at the moment for the phev veicle is the charging network and the cost Because is way more expensive than a normal combustion engine, and is not for all pocket. Imho😉

Imagine this car with a reasonable consumption around 200-230Wh/km....

The downside of electric cars.... the potential weight increase of the driver when waiting to charge.

Do you pay money to charge electric cars?

KIA - NOKIA :D :D

คุณ​ตาม.. มีภาษาไทย​มั้ย

Veri nice car, but thirsty car...

I am a bit disappointed with Volvo range, seems not as efficient as Tesla or ID4, especially considering the price..

I got the xc40 in June after test driving the x1 q3 and gla the volvo was more powerful than the equivalent better built more free tech as standard and just over all feel a far superior car once my lease runs out I think I may get the xc90 next time
