Out of interest who sets these values is it Volvo, the finance company, the Dealer or a combination?

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.

I wonder if Octopus will inevitably have to increase the time the 5p is available overnight due to the larger batteries in EV's and some PHEV's these days of leave it as is to screw more money out of us.

Octopus has introduced a few other beta Go type tariffs under the collective name Go Faster which extends the cheap period to five or six hours, or so I believe. Then we have Intelligent Octopus on the horizon which is dynamic based on grid demand/cost.
However, Volvo still need to sort out the charging of these higher capacity batteries to support 16 or 32 amps.

We ordered a V60 early/mid July and have now been told we'll be getting the new battery and motor. I thought that might interest those who have cars at various order stages.
I'm assuming the dealer is correct of course! |

Hello - I joined this forum years ago but once I test drove the XC90 in early to mid-2015 on launch I found the tyre noise unacceptable so I went elsewhere
Now come back having seen this thread on the longer range which make the XC90P8 (or whatever it is called today) possible. I am trying to find out what the effect of the PHEV is on boot space as have seen two different stats for that - 640 litres and 770 (the latter being what diesel / petrol versions have, I think). The original claim was that PHEV did not affect boot space because the battery was in the transmission tunnel (if I remember correctly). Which makes it hard to see why the space would be different. Can anyone with a PHEV enlighten me, please? Will be having a test drive in a couple of weeks but thought worth asking here as google seems not to be my friend in this respect! |
