    I run a XC60, superb underated car, no problems at all in five years build quality is second to none, and although I’m not a EV convert, this is the only one I would consider would be a Volvo. To slam the door the door is the best test.

    So this Chinese Volvo sells for around £100,000 here in the UK with a range of about 370 miles. Meanwhile in China Zeekr and Nio offer 500 to 600+ miles of range. Nio battery swap 150 kWh batteries are now available across their range of cars offering around 660 miles of real world range but for a fraction of the price. No doubt the China on the road prices will be doubled for Europe and the UK but still far less than this ‘Volvo’. I can see this being bought as a Company Car to deal with Corporation Tax but it’s not going to be a mainstream car for Joe Public to buy or Lease.

    Volvo no longer look “premium” inside (perceived quality, seat materials and dash touch points) or out (the face without a grill and awkward lights no doubt are the main factors). When manufacturers like Mercedes are dropping their EQ range due to customers not liking the swoopy styling volvo seem to be pushing ahead. Pains me to say it but the KIA EV9 looks just as posh in real life and substantially cheaper

    How can this possibly be the future? Why does this get BIK 0% and counts towards the ZEV mandate. Where as the Suzuki swift hybrid is fined £15k per sale? Think about the amount of stuff the world had to move / mine / refine / manufacture to make a 2.7 Tonne tank?

      Pretty straightforward, despite being a hefty beast it doesn’t produce emissions on the road so pedestrians aren’t breathing in any health damaging chemicals. As vehicles are being produced with an ever increasing percentage of renewable energy the emissions caused from manufacturing are always decreasing, unfortunately for the Suzuki swift hybrids green credentials it’s built in Japan which has one of the highest percentages of electricity generation from fossil fuels. So to sum up the Suzuki swift hybrid is both polluting on the road and its manufacturing produces a lot of emissions due to Japan’s high use of coal and gas.

    You do not have to buy an electric Volvo to experience repeated problems with electronics, current XC40 of my experience has never been fully sorted by Volvo including early problems with the steering. The electric efficiency of this latest model is disappointing, even in California which is generally regarded as car heaven for climate.

    When there are no buttons it’s good you mention the voice activation but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a test of whether a car’s voice system is good enough to make up for a lack of physical controls.

    Imagine if half the investment that’s been put in to electric vehicles had been put in to developing alternative fuels. They already exist but are ludicrously expensive. We could all keep our ICE engined cars and not pollute. Instead of pushing the pollution further down the road and relying on children mining cobalt.

      eFuels at the moment require around 20kWh of energy to produce a single litre of fuel.

      The fuel tank of the current petrol powered B6 XC90 is 71L so you’re going to need to use around 1,420 kWh of energy just to produce the fuel needed to fill the tank never mind transport it etc.
      That 71L of fuel will give the XC90 a range of around 519 miles according to the WLTP efficiency figures or just 0.37 mi/kWh. The official range of the EX90 is 364 miles from a usable battery capacity of 107 kWh which gives it an efficiency of 3.4 mi/kWh.

      Increases in efficiency can obviously come with time and research, but not an 800% improvements!

      Well gas cars like the Mercedes GLS and Audi Q7 are only about 200kg lighter and consume huge amounts of gas and emit a lot in urban environments. The local emissions cause cancer and other respiratory diseases which electric cars don’t contribute to. Fracking which is used to drill oil destroys entire ecosystems and water supplies for millions of people every year. The metals in EVs aren’t always clean but they can only be dug up once and the they will be recycled infinitely which gas can’t be…

      Not yet. Once we can recycle the batteries and material the car’s made of, and power the car with renewable electricity, then it makes more sense. Despite all this, it’s still significantly better for the environment than a gas equivalent. Take a look at what Polestar is doing to make their entire vehicle body recyclable.

    Fantastic review, I guess the location helps but even so, an impressive episode. Taxi light aside, I think it’s a good looking machine although the interior is perhaps playing the ‘understated’ theme a bit too strongly at this price point. It’s also looking a little out of step, with many manufacturers abandoning the no button approach after strong negative feedback. I think there could be a wider problem for Volvo though, the car is late and feels like it’s been around a while now. Some of interest has inevitably waned as other interesting alternatives from the likes of Kia and Hyundai have come along. Those manufacturers also seem to be capable of making their software work. Ultimately, Volvo’s about turn on scrapping saloon and estate production and a facelift for the XC90 tells you all you need to know about EVs – the path to electrification is expensive and not enough people are prepared to pay the cost to convert.
