Distance on electric

[GeoC]

Just joined as have bought a 2022 XC60 T6 Recharge

This might be a daft question but I am on a learning curve with this car.

The spec for this seems to state up to 49 miles on electric but when mine is fully charged it gives just 35 miles.

Is this right?

Yes, for this time of year with the current outside temperatures, 34-37 miles is about right.
Once things warm up you should get between 40-46 miles but you will never actually achieve the specified 49 miles, not in an XC anyway.
They must have completed the book testing in a vacuum or somewhere that always had a really strong tailwind or on a 50 mile downhill run.

Most people new to PHEV & EV don't as its not something you even have to contemplate with ICE vehicles but its really one of the biggest factors in electric range.

Yup, my 2023 xc90 was getting 28-29 over winter, it’s now up to 32 and should improve by another 2-3miles as the weather warms up.

I don’t know what the actual electric mileage of my 23MY v60 T6 is as I have never run pure mode continuously for more than a few miles. But the fully charged range stated in th dash has always been circa 42 with a best last summer of 52. The phone app claims 17.2kwh/100 miles, but I could not say if that’s good,bad, or indifferent.

If you've not seen it this might help you to understand what impacts range, pretty much every thing but its at it best at lower speeds and WLTP average speeds are very low, so numbers for range on that test are high, I'd image it's done without climate etc.
