Google Software Updates
I've copied this from the Volvo Software page for those of us on Google based Volvo systems. It relates to the XC60 Recharge but I'm sure it will also apply to the rest of the recharge lineup. Main improvements are related to range, pre conditioning and general tweaks and improvements to the system
Updates in software version 1.7 - Software version information is now available. - Software version numbers will be shown in the centre display. Release notes related to the current and upcoming software updates will be available in the centre display and on the Volvo Cars Support website. - Adjusted sensitivity of Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) to reduce risk of activation in automatic car washes. - A snowflake icon will appear next to the battery level indication due to cold weather to inform if the usable battery capacity will be limited. - Introducing information about cold climate impact on battery range through startup message and notification in the driver display. - Fixed problem of Seat Belt Reminder notification in the driver display. - Introducing the Volvo Range app. - Estimated range indication, indications on improvements of range in comparison to driving behavior and estimation of consumption leading to speed, climate settings and so on. - Software update notifications will be available on the mobile app. - Notifications for an update that has been downloaded and is ready to install, installation started/in progress and result of installation. - Preheating of battery when the destination on Google Maps is set to a fast-charging station in order to improve charging performance. - Increased range due to improved battery energy utilization and improved regeneration performance. - Smarter pre-conditioning timers: The battery will be pre-conditioned prior to departure in order to increase range. - Increased battery operation temperature during driving and fast charging for increased range and charging speed. - Workshop wifi: Vehicle is able to connect via Wifi at supported Volvo workshops for service visits. - During charging, the charging view in the centre display will include the charging time needed to reach a destination if one has been set in Google Maps. - Tyre pressure monitoring system will show a calibration message after the completion of this update. - New rear window sun curtain controls in centre display.

Where is the ‘Volvo Range App’? Is it on the car system or a separate phone app?
