Volvo T8 Operation

[pauljdh]

Ive had my T8 a few months now and love it!

Great overall economy as I can plug in overnight and it's a 30mpg cruiser on the juice.......but , my question is, if I start in Pure (electric only) mode then the car seamlessly switches to hybrid bringing the petrol engine on line, at maybe say 60mph, am I bringing a cold engine immediately up to power?.....seems a bit brutal, just not sure how the changeover works?

That makes a lot of sense, Id forgotten about the HOLD function! Thanks
