Re: Battery charge status in app

I’ve tried setting up the scheduled charge several times. Deleting it and change the start/stop times to “force save” the new entry.. Regarding background refresh and/or.force closing the app doesn’t trigger any change at all.. So frustrating.. Volvo should have thought through this.. I can’t trigge...

Battery charge status in app

Hi, Does anyone have the battery charge status completely wrong in the app versus the actual state of charge? I’ve just depleted the battery and would like to start charging immediately but I can’t! The app tells me the battery is fully charged and since I’ve got the car to only charge during night,...

Scheduled charging not working

Hi all,

It’s not the first time that I’ve found out the car is charging outside of the scheduled hours.

Has anyone noticed the same behavior? This functionality used to work as expected, now (I believe) since they enabled this function again it’s not working quite well.

Cheers

Re: Volvo XC40 charging

Mine goes into hovercraft mode too when charging. Volvo does this to supposedly keeps the batt cool when charging as a way to prolong its life. (Charging heats them too, not just discharging)

Re: Question on T5 Hybrid Range.

I didn't say you couldn't or even shouldn't but just that it's not the optimal use of the car. Like you , when we were locked down over Christmas we were going weeks on end without ever using any petrol where as now, I am filling the car up every week Now I’m confused?! Is the optimal use of an hyb...

Re: Question on T5 Hybrid Range.

That’s where we don’t align! The xc40 hybrid only makes sense (on an economical sense) IF you can manage your daily routines with 40km or charge between morning and evening (at the office). Otherwise the price over the combustion T3 doesn’t pay over time. In my case I break even between the 3rd and ...

Re: Question on T5 Hybrid Range.

I don’t think that’s exactly correct.. Volvo (and other phev makers) clearly state X miles of electric range. The traction is indeed hybrid but that doesn’t mean you MUST or SHOULD do hybrid every trip. And the 29miles of range isn’t just on traffic lights and slow traffic. It’s there for the whole ...
