There are many compelling reasons for driving electric. Here are just a few…
An electrified Volvo is easy to live with – and eco-focused too.
We’ve tried to include all of our most frequently asked electric questions below. If your query remains unanswered, feel free to contact our Volvo Solihull showroom team at your earliest convenience.
Yes, virtually all electric cars are automatic.
Hybrid cars are powered by a combustion engine that’s supported by an electric motor, which is provided energy by a self-charging battery. This set-up ensures a good blend of performance and efficiency.
PHEVs differ from hybrids because they offer the kind of all-electric range that produces low emissions and promotes greater fuel efficiency. Plug-in hybrids require manual charging, which can be done at home, at work and at one of many thousands of public access points located around the UK.
The EX40 takes about 48 minutes to achieve a 20% to 80% top-up when connected to a rapid-charging (50kW) public connector.
There are many compelling reasons for doing so. For impartial advice, please contact your local Johnsons Volvo team today.
An electric car’s powertrain consists of an electric motor (sometimes two) and a high-capacity battery. The latter requires manual charging, which can be achieved at home, at work and in public. This all-electric set-up delivers power and efficiency in equal measure.
A hybrid car is similar to a regular vehicle in that it’s powered chiefly by its combustion engine. However, hybrids benefit from the addition of an electric motor which supports the engine by delivering instant torque, for instance. A hybrid car’s battery is self-charging, a process which occurs via regenerative braking.
Most definitely. Each of our all-electric Volvos produces zero CO2 and NOx emissions.
