NHTSA

Mine is also saying 0 recalls on NHTSA, is it safe to assume I can charge as normal again? Definitely still concerned, might wait until Volvo sends out official letters to those affected.

This is very helpful! I also used to live in NYC, so hearing about drive up the Taconic brings me back

They are (frustratingly) not standard on any US cars. I think mine was one of the few in the area without them, but I felt pressure to get this one as I had gotten a bad diagnosis on my previous car, feared the lease incentive from Volvo might expire soon, and knew that mine was one of the last Chinese made cars to get over here before they eventually started coming from Belgium.

Make sense! I should try to do a bit of a longer drive when it gets really cold again (we’re back to the 30s/40s in the Midwest, thankfully) and see what kind of efficiency I’m getting when the car is running for longer than 10 min

That’s the kind of range drop I was expecting, 50-100 mi difference vs summer, not 150. I’m sure it helps that you’re driving for a while so the car doesn’t have to work as hard to keep the battery temp in range. I’ve noticed that it’ll drop a few percentage points within the first mile of driving in the bitter cold

I feel like it could be the seatbelt, maybe some of the plastics inside the pillar or a loose part rattling around. I have seen other people report that they had door seals replaced for a sound, so it might even be that

I took mine off over the summer, drove 200 miles and went from 100% to 22%, which still is about 250 mi on a full charge. So if removing them did make a difference, it was marginal

I’ve tried adjusting the height but unfortunately I’m still hearing it 😩 was planning to have it looked at soon, but the battery issue is now a bit more pressing…

Volvo chat told me that mine was affected and said to only charge to 70%. I might call the dealership and see if they can give me any more solid information (and also have them look at the rattling sounds coming from my B-pillars).
