Imagine it’s 10 degrees and an accident causes a bumper to bumper traffic jam and you’re sitting there watching the battery gauge dropping like a stone.

The specs on this car...umm suck. I have a 2022 XC60 T8 Plugin hybrid. It does 0-60 -4.5 seconds, has more room and basically the same interior. Plus I don’t need ANY special charger. I get 40 miles on electric only and that works. And it cost me 62k, I got 15k over my lease buyout when I got it and my lease payments are under $450, this thing at 91k....pffttt. Love Volvo’s, great cars but many better choices for an EV at that price point.

Imagine it’s Florida in September and a Cat 4 hurricane is going to hit. Everyone is told to evacuate. What do you think the death toll will be from people trapped in “dead” cars because they can’t get to a charger? How long do you think it will take to clear the roads of their cars?
