2:26 the next gen Volvo's starting with the EX90 will automatically brake for this situation with small animals and small kids using Luminar Lidar Lidar technology on top of the roof, not just "large animal" detection that recent Volvo's are known for in the past decade.
That looks like the best test up and down that hill so far. The OPD is really good on the XC40, seamlessly blends in footbrake if needed - and actually saves brake overheat/fade. Can see they've done a lot of work since your last video run. I am a fan of the overall XC40 Twin
K Tam, do you want more challenge? try Pai Mae Hong Son it has a massive 1864 curves that will definitely stress out the ORA CAT. I've been there, got a headache, i couldn't drive it
I do EV road trips into charging deserts on my RUclips channel. All of them I do in an XC40 Recharge. The first one I did was to a place called Roan Mountain. The Android Auto app in the dash does a superb job of estimating battery when large elevation changes are on the route. On my way back, I was actually able to increase my SoC due to the long regen downhill and the in-dash nav was spot on. Thx for the vid. As far a acceleration in the XC40 Recharge, there is no chill mode. Head rests are soft though to catch you skull as it slams back from a hammer drops.
Thanks Bjorn, very nice views in the morning light. Good to see how much it pulled back with high regen capability.

crazy to watch the battery charging all the way down the hill! Great series of videos.

it starts on route 1095 (3045) on google maps and not far from your home chiang dao
Wow, I just drove there on my motorbike a few days ago, but downhill. I can confirm how steep it is, my brakes were smoking!

Oh man! The dogs! I'm still worried for those dogs! Not safe!
i found that too with traction, the power is limited for a few seconds on the P2
Hi Bjorn, could you make your 0% test with this car:)? - below 10% this battery limit's the power like crazy - so what will happen at 0% - scary:) !
It would have helped to have the OBD reader showing the motor and battery temperatures that you usually have
Car scanner doesn't support it
@@bjornnyland that is a pity. Is it a Volvo thing or is there something else that does - have you never been able to read the XC40 through OBD?
Pai is phase 1, phase 2 is a mountain run, on the West most (Myanmar) side, that takes around 6 days to reach Tak ( man that trip was crazy)
What was the altitude at base and at the top where you turned around?
Hi Bjorn! Thanks for the video! Do we know what is the maximum regen capacity of the car? Sorry if I missed it in the video.
No power limit? Impressive.
Looks like mountains around Chiang mai!
This Volvo has usual speedometer accuracy, or has GPS accuracy cause it's Google based car?
Thanks for wonderful test and video. Interesting where is this nice road?
Doi Ang Khang
are the dogs okay?
As the video shows, yes.
Dog on the road, yeah! That’s Thailand only :p
Uphill spent 13%, and downhill got 4% back. Again about 30% recuperation. This is similar to the Tesla Model Y RWD results you uploaded two weeks ago.
❤❤❤
daamn what did you really hit one of the dogs? O.O
good brakes better than tesla i heard
You should say the %battery You start and finish
73% at start, 67% at the end.
@@Bud_Terence so ONLY 6% to do that mountain... Very good!!!
@@Bud_Terence 76% --> 67%
😂😂 ….Volvo XC40….Recharge…. A LOT.. 😂😂😂
XC40 recharge-a-lot... lol
It sounded like you hit a dog. 😢
Nope
It was his foot slammin on the break.

ABC, Always Beware Canines
Not a fan of this Volvo XC40 it's a brick with wheels nothing special but landscape is awesome
ITs not a real Volvo its a Geely 🙂
It is a Volvo. Geely just owns the company. It's like saying Rolls Royce is a BMW.
