Other cars I've tested on this testing route:
Audi E-Tron S:
• Audi E-Tron S 615km Ra...
Audi E-Tron 55:
• Audi E-Tron 55 615km R...
Jaguar I-Pace EV320:
• Jaguar I-Pace EV320 61...
Peugoet E-2008:
• Peugeot E 2008 GT 615k...
I'm going to try to standarize my range testing more with the route Oslo-Kristiansand-Oslo. Something I'm calling the Norwegian High Speed Run, because it is the longest stretch of road over a larger distance with high speed limits. The stretch is 615km and averages over 100KPH.

How about an etron race/roadtrip to Nordkapp when u reach ur subscriber goal?
That's a good idea! :)
A race with Bjorn to Trondheim. The vehicles could be XC40 vs iX3 !!
I like this idea!
@@KrisRifa Thanks ! I hope you can achieve it !!
Greetings :=)
Some sort of race would be cool. 👍 Mach E and ID.4 are also candidates.. and maybe a longer race? What about North Cape?
@@omelvold Not bad at all !! It also is one of the race I would like to watch !!!
Hope they can do both of them !!!
@@KrisRifa Or Aud Q4 - XC 40
There's something about winter driving in Norway that is beautiful and mesmerizing. I'm adding a winter road trip in Norway to my bucket list, looking forward to the end of Covid
Kris maybe it didn't pre-heat the battery to the earlier charging station because it was planning to arrive with a low state of charge, and pre-heating the battery could have used too much energy and prevented you from arriving there. Therefore maybe the car pre-heats only if it thinks it will arrive with a state of charge greater than 5%, 10% or maybe even 15%.
Would be interesting to know that :D
That was my thought as well.
And he is again at 0%. You are the YOLO master Kris 👍😁
Yes! Haha! Did you watch the video I uploaded today?
Driving the Kystriksveien between Steinkjer and Bodø with the e-tron would be a bit challenging ;)
Crazy suggestion: Nordkapp to Gibraltar in an EV (of your choice)
I would love to do that in the summer :)
Not sure holding a camera while driving is a good idea. You should use a set of fixed cameras, like most car youtubers, don’t you think?
Would love to see a drive up the Atlantic Highway....still have great memories of that trip with my Norwegian cousins!
Great suggestion !
Interesting, but a little question.
For this 610km run. what was the price of the electricity ? that run here in sweden is about the same time with a petrol vechile, you always need a break and lunch.
But with a consumption with around 8L/100km for a normal car., that would be around 49L and 730SEK for the petrol..
What is the price for this run with an EV? :)
Nice test of my car. Got my 4th of December and I like it very much. A new update from Volvo is expected to come at the end of January with a number of improvements. Heat pump and heat for battery are some of the things to come. In the spring I will drive Gudbrandsdalen-Lofoten it will be a long trip. I am very happy with my Volvo XC40 Recharge Eletric P8!
Hi, do you have more information/details about the Update? I miss the range display in Km, could it be that this will be one point of 5he coming update? Thanks
@@hansn.9590 Updates will come to all stores that sell the car. Everyone needs to get this update. After this, everything goes through the air OTA. Alarm for tailgate, heat pump and heating / cooling of battery shall be included in this update. One who contacted Volvo to get some answers. Then we'll see what happens. But updates are not far off.
@@teknofil007 thanks for your answer and have a nice evening. BR, Hans switzerland
Kris thanks for these amazing range test videos, I’ve watched many videos on other channels and I always get confused but the way you explain how the evs charge and the difference in KW and battery 🔋 life on EVs soooo well I feel like a pro now lol! Btw I can’t wait to see your next XC90 EV! I also think you should do a video of your wish list for the next Volvo XC90.
It didn't preheat because it wouldn't have had enough energy to preheat and get to the destination.
I want to see a side by side of the Polestar with and without the sports pack, efficiency, handling and comfort
Oslo - Narvik - Oslo driving a Smart fortwo EQ could be a fun challenge if you achieve 20 k subs in January!
Spicy one!
Batteries charge fastest from 0-50% and slowest from 80-100%. So it's better to charge more stops than to try charge it full. This is according to manufacturers' recommendation also.
Wondeful video. Crazy idea: a trip from nord kape to gibraltar with an mazda mx30.
That is just to long, more than 1,5 hours doing nothing. Or more than 1,5 longer travel time on this EV. And that trip is a short run.
It is said to manage 417 km on a charge and manage 150kW of charging. 307km one way, in your test. SO the EV lie continues. Still shit.
It is quite possible that the XC40 recharge turns off battery conditioning when the battery is nearly drained, like
This video shows very well that electric cars are trash for long trips. Now we all have nothing else to do than spend time planning for the trip, sitting in freezing cold for two hours to wait for a battery to charge. And of course, don’t take that wrong turn or scenic detour or you’ll end up towed. Try that with a wife and two kids and the car packed with stuff. Somewhere in Italy, France or Spain. You’ll end up robbed to the last dime if you are lucky.
I’m not too sure if this is an electric one you are showing us of the XC 40, but I’m not interested in the electric I don’t like the car. I’m sorry to hear that they’re not only making it now in electric. Thank you
Great content. You are getting better and better at this in my humble opinion:).
A breath of fresh air to focus on other EVs than that American brand w the Southafrican dude cant remember his name🤣
Thank you so much :) I really do appreciate it! Ohhh... yeah... that guy doing that space thing right? I allways forget his name....
Jeezzzz, the stats at 18.57 are a tittle itsi bitsi SUPER small... 🔍🧐 🙃
With my 2017 XC60 D4, I drive almost 1000km on a 110km/h highway with one tank. EVs are for city driving and short distance journies, not really something reliable. Reaching a charging station with 0% battery state, and you discover the charger is out of order, lovely when you are in a Scandanavian winter...
I totally agree! I see the EVs a car for people, that doesnt really need a car... I will keep my V60 petrol for sure.
So 222km with 90% sod? Thats really bad for a car in that pricerange
What is state charge that you keep mentioning? Or is that state-of charge? Thanks!
Charging speed at the last stop was?....
Eqal to 131kW?! Thanks
Hi Kris ... thanks for the excellent points about XC40 ... next time you review a vehicle with Google system, could you please mute out yiu saying "Hey Google" because all my phones, speakers and other devices think you talk to them ;-)
Amen to that!!!!
After watching this video I won’t be changing my petrol XC 40 anytime soon! Too much wasted time at charging stations + constant ‘range anxiety’ and having to a.ways plan ahead to re charge. I love everything about my XC40 R design (petrol)😁
Do you love the cost of petrol too?
Are you really filming and driving at same time and on ice road with lot of traffic ?
Regarding subscriber goal: Drive to East Cape (Vardø) and test the new chargers in Finnmark. Vardø is located east of Istanbul and is an area which Teslabjørn has not tested properly.
I like this idea!
The car does not heat the battery to prepare charging. And the heat pump does not work under 5°C (plus). All battery heating is done by the HVHA (High Voltage Coolant heater).
This is true, and I'm working on a video about it!
Is this true? What is the point of the heatpump then? +5°C is like the average temperature where I live!... go figure.
@@walp86 Before OTA update 1.3 the lowest temperature was indeed +5°C. I have no information if they changed anything after the first major update OTA 1.3.
Volvo xc40 p8 recharge pure electric is my dream car
Thanks for these Videos Kris. Very useful. Any chance to have the results more readable? Like Google Sheet? It is Impossible to read the Excel data on a normal mobile phone.
Thanks! Sure, I can do that as soon as I have some spare time for it :) Coming soon!
Please do a complete battery drain test in the Norwegian winter!
How about a (long) drive around your city of Oslo, at town speeds, to see how far you can get compered to the normal long distant runs you do.
Lots of people are getting into Bev's as towns and cities are getting into congestion charging ICE cars. It will be interesting to find out the economy of BEV'S at lower restrict speeds.
Yes, I'm thinking of making a city range test in the future :)
I wonder if charging to 50% and stopping more often would be quicker? You seem to be losing lots of time after 50% as it slows down a lot.
Yes, it might be... but the over head time of stopping and connecting make the savings small imo. And I think people would prefer to stop as few times as possbile :) So I think three stops is manybe more realistic...
makes for an interesting question though : should tests be equal, or tailored to the car to give it the best circumstances?
@@KrisRifa It would be worth testing stopping more often but charging less and see how much of a difference it makes.
If the car charged quickly then it wouldn’t make and real difference but at the speeds you seem to be getting it could make a big difference.
@@XLoaferY The test is a long distance run. How you decide to charge or drive is not the test but impacts on the time taken.
@@SirHackaL0t. of course! Distance should be the same.
Volvo electric car are still far behind Tesla.
Excellent video Kris! How did the Continental Viking Contanct 7 studless tires perform, in overall, in your test?
Thanks! They perform very well :) In the last ten years I've found that Conti and Nokian make the best winter tires!
Thank you for an interesting test. It's a pleasure to listen to the way you speak to us in the video! Now to my comment! Could this missing pre-heat be due to the fact that the car think it is better to reach the charing station than spend the energy left on pre-heat and not reach the charing station. Remember you arrived with 0 energy left in the battery. What do you think?
Thank you so much for your nice comment 😊 I will have a video on the whole XC40 preheating thing out later in the week 😊
The really HUGH problem is that it will not qualify for Biden's upcoming $10K incentive........Must be built with American labor....Paul
What’s the 1 huge problem?
I hope you can make the same test after the software update👍
Sure I can :)
@@KrisRifa great! Have a nice weekend👍
Yes please test it again after the update and with better weather conditions. Thank you Kris keep up the good work. like your videos 👍🏼.
Nice clean videos, with clear content, well done :) keep it up.
something crazy? well how about an ice swim, you have the right environment!
Thanks :)
Volvo just updated its software over air which according to their site improves charging and distance capability.
Will you be testing the xc40 p8 again?
The range is a joke and the time to recharge is more than a joke
I have a CRV hybrid and make 1000 km on a tank, consumption around 5.5 liters x 100 km
Untill EVs have a range of 600 km at least and a charging time of max 15 minutes I wouldn't consider buying one
I just imagine my last trip to Croatia 2 years ago with my then XC 60 D4 in an XC 40 e
Just nightmares coming up...
The consumption is crazy high and simply does not make sense to drive an EV car presently. It is very expensive to charge at such high speeds in the UK (69p/kw) and therefore it is significantly more expensive to drive this car vs and ICE car.
"Car and Driver" just reported a fall in battery capacity in their Tesla Model 3 of 7% in 24,000 miles. Not insignificant! It was plugged in 842 times with 500 times from super chargers. It appears that Teslas don't do very well doing a lot of highway miles with super chargers. If I was doing a lot of long road trips, I'd go for the XC40 PHEV over any BEV. ..... The XC40 P8 range and charging speed for daily driving is more than sufficient.
get me a car i will pay for it...
13.20 woman walking along in road. Eyes on the recharge station and then “oh shit” I thought she saw me…. Did the Volvo warn you that there was a pedestrian you were about to run over or did you look back to where you were driving? Thanks for the review J
the anxiety of having to plan your trip around these charging stations... count me out.
They said the same thing about gas cars awhile ago... you'd be stuck on your horse =-D
@@DougFrantz like half a century ago. Ive never had that problem in all my driving life. Certainly not waiting for another half of my life for electric cars to get the range of gas cars.
I like the car, but the kWh/100km is weak and this car is not very efficient. While it does not use gas it will use more electricity that most EVs.
Is it possible that you will test XC40 P8 range with newer software? There should be now January software which decreases little bit consumption. I am also interested if you can test EVs with a roofbox in winter.
what color is your volvo?
As a owner of a XC40 P8 Recharge here in the Netherlands I have a question: What's the best driving speed to go as fast as possible from A to B, assuming you want to drive as far as possible within one day. Like in this video, would it have been possible to charge only 2 times if the highway driving speed would have been for example 100 instead off 120? Maybe the total time would have been better ???
Can you explain to a novice the electric speak, like kilowatts, and all they charging definitions
I'm wondering if you can display the music info (artist/song) in the guage cluster? It'd be nice to have that there if Google Maps is on the center stack screen, or vice versa. When I'm navigating it's nice to have the Google maps up somewhere but I also to have the radio information up too.
Description says "Today I'm testing my own Audi E-Tron 55."... Oh, I thought this is a Volvo. ;)
the nav is telling you what % if u drive legally? U drove 135km/h? or am I wrong? :o
The speed you drive through icy roads Is very brave or even silly if you ask me. !! I would be doing around 30 miles per hour max
not even watched it and 100% certain it won't be very good ;)
Loving the content Kris!
Better than expected!
Thanks! :)
What is the actual colour of that car? I’m ordering the car and am planning to order it in Glacier Silver which I hope is the same colour.
Can you explain all the electric definitions for the novice, like kilowatts per charging etc.
have you made a range test video comparing the Tesla model 3 and Volvo P8?
As long as you don't have any tool to check on the battery temperature, possible reasons for slow charging is just a guess. To be able to make charts of all kinds of parameters is basically interessting to compare different cars too. Besides the guessing, a quite interesting video. Thank you!
Drink 5 raw eggs!
Hi Kris, what is the silver trim in the front bomber and the side skirts? Haven't seen those on volvo site.
Are you Filipino
Hello please take the car to Volvo Kolbotn lift it up and look underneath and find out If the body is painted on all places..
Is this one the dual motor all wheel drive? Or the other?
P8 is awd 😊
On principle I never watch videos that start ‘Don’t buy xxx until you’ve watched this video’ videos. Clickbait.
that's not the title for this video though. But I agree that it's a bit click-baity, and I think Kris knows (since he mentioned that in one of his videos).
@@XLoaferY I know, but his other video has that title. And clearly as I wasn’t going to watch it then commenting would be hard.
1000km High Speed with the Renault Twizy.
Software updates are coming to help improve the range.
Are you going to do this test on a XC40 recharge p6?
This car have a digital compus? and if it does where is it ?
Did you get any information regarding the battery pre-heating?
With the XC40 T8 recharge have you had any problems with demisting the Windscreen and side windpws, like Bjorn has had with the VW ID3.
Nope, no problems 😊
Make a snow angel wearing only your swimming trunks.
Thanks @Kris Rifa for a good video :) Which charging app do you recommend?
Found your channel through seeing you on Bjorn Nyland's video. You make good stuff.
Charging speed sometimes varies for no apparent reason. I think sometimes it is the fault of the stations, not the vehicle, but I don't know how we can test that.
You would help your reputation as a video reviewer if you would knock off with the clickbait titles!! Otherwise, good video.
“One huge problem” is the charging speed above 80% SOC which I address in the first two minuets of the video 😊 And thanks!
Nice car. Did you find it comfortable, especially in comparison to other cars (Audi, Tesla, Peugeot, Jag etc)?
anything compared to a Tesla is comfortable
You should get a remarkable as trusty notebook
I notice that you get used to 0% battery all the time. When reaching your goal, I like to see you keeping to empty the battery to 0% before arriving the charging station EVERYTIME. This should be fine and easy for you. Do it in your e-tron, e-tron S, XC40, and more. In addition, this would help you to analyze the charging speed accurately - more videos for you, Kris.
Hey Kris, is the rear spoiler standard or extra?
Tell me one thing. When your using the e pedal, when the car is braking, the brake lights are on?
Yes, they will turn on
You convinced me Petrol car it is.
Can you do the test with a tesla model 3
Siberia is watching you:)
Does it have a heat pump?
yes it does!
@@KrisRifa thanks, great video my friend - hope the OTA updates fix some of the charging issues... I'm close to buying one of these
I don’t see it slow
Go swimming next week outside in a lake or in the ocean. ;)
I really want to buy an EV for my next car but holy cow sitting around charging isn't my idea of fun.
Get an EV that is efficient and charges fast, like a Model 3 or Porsche Taycan. *Most of the time the car will be waiting for you, not the other way around.* Everyone occasionally need to stretch their legs, eat, buy a coffe, visit the restroom, check their mail or whatever- during long trips. 🍔
A used one, or even a ID.3/ID.4/Mach-E would work fine. There are lots of different models to choose from that fall into this category in 2021. However, a Tesla is probably the best choice if you’re skeptic about charging. You typically drive 3-4 hours, and charge for 25 minutes.. It always works and there are almost never any queues.
Remember that most of the driving is edited out of the videos you see. That’s why it seems like these UA-camrs are always charging, or struggling to charge some brand new press car. 🙂 Actually, most people rarely visit fast chargers at all. It’s not like gas stations. A recent survey from Norway shows that 93% of all charging is done at home, at work, hotels or similar. It takes only 5 seconds of your precious time. 🙏
@@omelvold You might be right. There's a number of trip I do in Canada that would require charging especially in the winter. I have to look into the charging structures in and around Ontario.
Re the Model 3. I drove it and the car I drove had a bunch of build quality issues. It was brand new. I also couldn't stand the feel of the brake and the 1 screen thing was really annoying. I'll wait to try the ID4, Mach E and the Ioniq 5. Thanks for your input!
@@kevinn1158 I see. I’m sure you’ll find the right EV soon. The Ioniq 5 looks really promising! Just make sure whatever car you choose is able to fast charge somewhat consistently in cold weather. 😬
Bought this car today :P
Congrats!
What are your thoughts so far?
@@smasheduptoaster9186 Mostly good.
+good to drive (Sporty but still comfy)
+more than enough
+ very good speakers (Herman Kardon)
+ good seats
+ good lights for night driving
- Bad remote control app still
- the glossy surfaces
- almost no apps still in the infotainment
- still no problem with the car
@@stratus91le Thanks. Sounds pretty good. I love the Google integration too. Assistant and Maps are amazing. Especially with the Harman Kardon system. But I totally agree on the apps. Tesla has so much including Netflix. Although it's not a huge deal for me because I don't road trip in it.
could it be that the Fortum chargers are not marked as HPC? How much time do you think it would save if you consistently hit "non cold gate" charging?
Well, they say 150kW right on the charger...
@@KrisRifa yes of course, I meant on Google maps. If the entry you chose doesn't have hpc or charger speed specified, maybe the car thinks it's either just "a location" or a slow charger and doesn't bother to preheat?
It should work better, of course, but trying to find reasons why it's not working for this hpc but worked for the other one.
@@XLoaferY Yes that is what I initially thought... but if you look at 4:34 it says 150kW charger in the navigation... so not sure what going on...
@@KrisRifa yeah it doesn't really make sense. Unless it's something silly like the name has 150kw but it's not listed as a hpc (I guess they use search attributes for chargers to determine if it's a hpc)
Odd!
Hi Kris, in the uk we can prosecuted for driving even 1mph over the speed limit. Could you do a test at 5 - 10% below the speed limit?
Something crazy: how about a sleepover in Björn's Tesla? 😋😂
Hahaha!
Driving on snow-covered roads, or partially snow-covered roads in minus degrees, is like driving in tailwinds and gives less friction and thus lower consumption. If, on the other hand, it is above zero in temperature and sloppy, then you get increased consumption and thus like driving in wet road conditions.
If you want 20K subscribers quickly, make more absurd clickbait thumbnails. You can do it in MS Paint.
Greetings from your new subscriber from the Canary Islands 🇮🇨. This car has just been put up for sale here. Even with the weather changes, I see that the load is very slow and the consumption is brutal. It looks like an American gasoline car.Looks like a consumer eater
Why do volvo call their whole electric car range re charge 😳
No imagination.
