V60 T6 Recharge
Discussion
Hi all,
Got on to look at this kind of by accident when looking at other estates. Was hoping to get answers to a few questions from any owners on here!
Am I right in saying that a 2022 car is turbo charged and NOT twin charged? Some conflicting info on the web.
What's the economy like when not using the "plug in" part of the hybrid system. We don't have off street parking and we can't always guarantee that we would be able to charge the thing up. When we do, it would be with a 3 pin plug and "topped up" as the cost of installing an electric charger for the sake of charging a little 18.8kwh battery would take eons to pay itself back. The plan is essentially to charge it if convenient, but not worry too much if its not.
Related question - does the car drop power when the battery is 100% depleted? My gut feeling is not, as on the test drive the car had 0 miles of electric range but still went like a stabbed rat when I went down a slip road, but I know some hybrid systems do drop off in power and some dont? Apologies if I am displaying some ignorance there!
Any other ownership advice / anecdotes would be great. What are they like maintenance / service wise for example?
TIA!
