The implied usable battery capacity from my tests was 60.69 kWh.
Something is really wrong with this p6.
I called care by volvo to discuss. Turns out the battery capacity of the p6 is only 69kWh (67 kWw usable). This is completely different to that stated in their advertising here. (You need to click "All performance data" to read it). This page shows 78kWh usable. None of their maths on the range works on 67kWh. You can never get 260 miles on that 67kWh battery.
I have booked a call with a manager from Care by Volvo to explain themselves tomorrow. I will either be returning the car as significantly not as described or I will expect a large reduction in monthly cost. That discrepancy 11kWh of usable battery capacity is about £8,000 worth of cost cutting on the car. Someone has made a career ending mistake here.
If Volvo change their website specifications and you need a copy, please ask. I have a snapshot of the webpage and a picture. |
Your link clearly states that the battery capacity is for the p8 with 400bhp - it’s a bad link as the first page is the p6, but the all performance page shows data for the 400bhp 4wd p8 model
