Re: A key question?
And I invested in a Faraday box for all the keys to prevent Burglar Bill from using a range extender to waltz off with the car. Recommend. I believe the keys have protection against relay attacks..... I think they have some motion detection in them, so if you leave them on the kitchen table, they g...

Re: Phev /t5 12v battery

My First (Electric) Volvo
Hi All
We are just in the process of finalising our order for the XC40 P8, All Electric.
This will replace our VW Golf GTE (Plug in Hybrid) as our long range EV
We have a Mercedes B-Class Full Electric that we currently use as our main car - but the Golf does the long trips!
Cheers
Jools
