PHEV Increased range
Volvo announced today that all of the PHEV's will be getting a larger range on battery (by increasing the battery size) only power from today forwards. I'm waiting for a call back from my dealer on my open order V60 T6, as i want to know will mine be an increased range one, or the old one. As I want the new increased range model. Anyone got an open order and confirmed if they will be getting the increased range or not?
So far i only have £500 down for the car to reserve it but i hope if it means cancelling and reordering i can get this back. The website is updated to show the new range but the builder online and the price list has not been updated yet for the V60 to reflect any change to the range or price. |

Cool. Have they given any indication of the size of the extra capacity?

‘Up to 68km’ (42 miles) for XC90
That is a very useful uplift, if realistic (and would lower the BIK too) With the archaic charging system, that’s a slow charge up though, especially off 13amps! D76

It' a bit of a bummer, but not a major hassle with a petrol engine on board as well. Its not as if people need to stop mid journey to refill the electrons.

Is it really only 13 AMP? Six hours is ridiculous for charging the battery from flat minimum should be 16A and preferably 32A. Maybe that will come next year?

The battery doesn’t go ‘flat’ - with the current 11.6 kW battery I’ve measure a full charge at around 9.8 kW, but the new one will still take 16ish kW to charge up.

The new 18kw battery will take 4-5 hours to charge if its still only fitted with a 3.6kw on-board charger and much longer using the 13a domestic plug charging cable.

455hp combined for new T8…new 145hp electric motor.
That will be quite a transformation. Oh well…only 30 months of the lease left on my MY21.5!! 🤣
