A pro tip. When you’re doing a round trip and can’t charge at the destination. Enter your current address as the final destination and your actual destination as a intermediate destination. Then the intelligent hybrid will use electric power where the gasoline is least effective.
The volvo car can’t calculate it past 200 km. It is a known bug that volvo is too lazy to fix. It will try to do the smart consumption in the first 20 km and then just cancel the system and use up the battery on the high way instead. What u mentioned only works for shorter trip below 200 km or something
I think 59 miles per gallon is pretty great. You touched on the concept for owning a PHEV. If you can charge it at your destination, then charge it up. You'll do a lot of gas-free (or diesel-free) driving. If you can't charge it, you can keep driving with the ICE, no worries. Since taking delivery of our T8 two years ago we are at 52 mpg overall including road trips. We always charge if we can. I think people misunderstand the concept of PHEV's when the concept doesn't fit their driving pattern.
This alligns very well with the consumption of our T8 in total over the soon 3 years we've had it. It has averaged 4.3l/100km,54.7mpg US,65.7mpg Imperial over all. About 2/3 of the driving has been done on electricity and thats with the smaller battery pack. In all honesty, The larger pack wouldn't have improved our consumption that much as the 1/3 driven on petrol has been almost all long journeys while the battery has been enough for almost all daily driving. But the updated electric drivetrain would still be nice... In comparison our previous SAAB 9-3 Aero convertible which was a much more aerodynamic and lighter car used over 4 times as much petrol for the same driving. It works really well for consumption to use the satnav and let the car decide when to use the electricity. I remember one time driving a journey we've done many times and I noticed the car that time was holding on to all the re-gen and was building up charge in the battery again. Strange I thought as it had never done that before and I knew it wasnt long to our destination and most of what was left was downhill on fast roads. But I hadn't actually paid attention to the arrival time as I just had the satnav on mute, didn't need it for directions. It turned out there were roadworks with massive delays and slow traffic. And the car had made sure we could do all 16km/10miles of roadworks on pure electricity, and we arrived with an empty battery as usual. I really wish Volvo would let you specify how much battery you'd like left at your destination though. I'm sure it would actually be an easy implementation in their software. Because when you go on a journey to a city and can't charge at your destination, you most likely will have better use for most of that electricity once you get there. At the moment I obviously use the hold button. But I feel like Volvos software could optimise the consumption better over the whole route if it knew you'd be happy to use say 20% battery for the whole journey (and arrive with 80%). Especially with this larger battery pack. With that function you also wouldn't have to put your home as your destination with your work as a waypoint to optimize your commute either. You'd just tell it to arrive with 50% battery on your way to work and with an empty battery on the way home. And the car would optimise the battery usage much better based on the on the actual on the day traffic conditions in each direction.
@@serge9021000yes, we have a type 2 home charger and plug it in almost every time we park it up in the drive. The cable is tethered and charger positioned wisely so it takes only seconds to unplug and plug-in. Keps it simple, and plug in hybrids really needs to be plugged in frequently to make sense. Most days just an overnight charge would be enough as we don't even use the full battery in a day. But a handful of times a month we use more than a full battery worth of charge in a day. By always plugging in I've managed to do 100km/62miles of pure EV driving in a day with it with the small battery. (With the slow built in charger that is 10hrs of continuous charging...) I did look in to doing a time of day electricity contract and just charge it over night, and just use a bit more petrol during the days when the electric range wasn't enough. But the maths didn't add up for that for us. With this upgraded larger battery it would probably do for us as it is only a handful of times a year we are using more energy than the larger pack holds. But it all depends on your individual use case. One thing I've noticed is that if you plug in the car from a low state of charge and do a long charging session it will top-charge the battery about 10% extra above the full indication compared to if you plug in with plenty of charge in the battery. Cold weather conditions, below about 15C also eat more battery despite having the fuel powered heater. All the pumps, fans and other things (battery conditioning?) in the heating system will pull about 1kW of electricity . And the heater will use about 0.6 liter fuel/hour when it is running. Below 10C it will be running almost all the time. Above 20C you really see an improved EV range. Just a shame I live in Scotland where its only above 15 degrees about 3 months in the summer haha.
Curious about the actual consumption at normal speeds. 120/130 on motorways. My dealer recently had a long trip with a V60 and 6.5l/100km was their average. Soon I'll change my temporary XC40 D4 AWD (average 6.6 l/100km) for a temporary 2021 XC60 T6 hybrid and I guess that car will be around 7.5-8l (can only charge at one site at the moment). By the time my V60 has arrived I hope the charging will be installed and overall consumption to be between 4 and 4.5. On long trips I hope to get it under 7l and manage 850km/tank.
Thanks for the video, meanwhile no-one I've seen so far says that electricity must be paid, neither do a proper calculation based on combined electricity/fuel expenses. I owned modern x3 with 2.0d, latest Audi's 3.0tdi, Tesla 3 and throughout latest years the price of electricity has risen vastly, which evidentially makes the cost of ownership not that obvious at all. Especially if the efficiency comparison based on speeds around 100km/h, whereas latest German diesels make 4.5-5.7 l/100km in the same conditions ...
Hi Tom, Great test! I have been driving the XC60 T6 MY2023 (Extended range) as per the test since February. Before buying it I took a long while to consider whether it was worth going for the plug-in option, but after 6000km I know it was the best decision. In day use we drive most of it in city traffic on electricity and here, for example, the last 2 months we have done 1700km with a fuel consumption of 0.7l/100km - fuel is minimally burned despite driving on Pure mode - albeit the air conditioning. What certainly cannot be underestimated is the absolute silence in the cabin when driving on electricity alone. I am also very satisfied with the fuel consumption results on the road. The route I've taken for years with my V40 T4 on active cruise control set at around 145km/h and an average fuel consumption of 8l/100km (box on the roof during these routes) vs 8.8l/100km without the box on the roof, but at the same speed. The distance record I managed to cover (without much trying) in suburban traffic was 78km - 1km more than the Volvo declares :) On average, however, it is closer to 70km, which is still quite sufficient in my case. Additional note: If you drive in hybrid mode and set a destination on the built-in Google Maps navigation, the car will spread the use of electricity/fuel in such a way as to achieve the most effective result for minimum consumption while using the battery capacity to 100%. To avoid discharging and driving with a flat battery on holiday, for example, simply switch on the battery charge retention option.
Having had the T8 for a few weeks and working on fuel economy I am finding high 30’s mpg figures on just electric and low 40’s mpg on petrol on long trips, although as said the Hybrid mode still gives/regens some electric so low speed in Hybrid with zero battery still drives electric so that helps around town where larger engines are less efficient, but it’s not about the economy with the T8 is the size of the smile you get and the sound you get when you go for that awesome overtake that others can’t attempt 🤪 , the whole economy thing is hard to quantify due to price of charging, type of terrain and how you drive, if you drive slow get a slower car 🙄
Ciao Thom, I have done my test on my Volvo XC60 T6 Recharge 2023. Considering a journey of 150 km (from Milan to a mountain location 1800 s.l.m.) the XC60 consumed 6.9lt/100 in HOLD mode, pratically I used only the petrol engine.
what I want to know, is, what mpg does this get at motorway speeds when the battery is basically flat (I realise that the battery will charge itself a little when you have to brake on the motorway)? I have driven this car and it is lovely with oodles of headroom (and knee-room) for a tall driver - but my concern is what real mpg will I get when I do a 250 mile journey on the motorway (I set adaptive cruise to 70mph and toddle off like a tortoise...)? Any ideas anybody? BTW I got a fantastic 48mpg on a 161 mile motorway journey recently (70mph in the middle of the night) in a Volvo XC40 T5 Recharge but unfortunately I don't seem to be able to get an XC40 Recharge with AWD, hence I have recently tried out an XC60 as an alternative...
I have T6 plug in. I do not think this car is good for long trips. If you travel +1k km at certain point you go with batteries empty. What happens then is that your fuel range with full tank can go down to 550km (120 - 130 speed) and then you need to look for a place to refill. I had my family trips with roof box which certainly contributes badly to fuel consumption but it is not possible to fit everything in such a small trunk :). 4.6 l / 100 km is average consumption for short trips when you have car fully charged. BTW: Computer does the range calculation quite badly - it can drop from 320 to 180 with no reason despite your drive style does not change. I had my 90 km range at the gas station and found I still have 16 l left
When you were on the high way, you should have had the petrol engine charging the battery, I drive once a year 275 miles one way to visit my mother and on the high way I use the petrol engine and charge my battery, I have the 2023 XC90 T8 I love it.
Nope it’s not smart. You have a loss of energy converting gas to electricity. It’s better to just put in the destination in the navi and use intelligent hybrid. The car will evenly distribute electric usage to environments where it is most efficient such as stop and go traffic.
@@norbertmayer7005 It CAN be smart to get the engine to charge the battery - if the price of fuel is less than the cost of electricity, which is not so at home, but could be so if you have to use motorway charge points.
@thom-Iov: You said that the T6 and the T8 have the same extended battery and same 145hp electric motor. My question is the software limitation between T6 and T8 is only on the gas motor? In PURE mode the power you have on your throttle is the same? Thanks in advance!
Hi Thom. I would like to suggest a correction to your stats. Since you did 72 km on electricity of a total of 151,5km it means that your consumption for the rest of 79,5 km was 4lt / 100 km resulting to a number of 5,03 lt/ 100 km with an empty battery
A quick question. if you drive for 150km in the highway what is the best advice for fuel consumption? Do all the way with hybrid mode or use pure mode (until electric power is depleted) and then hybrid mode?
Of course I could work it out but in most reviews they talk about range, most of us are interested in cost.. how much was it to charge the EV part as opposed to the gas part. Electricity is not free but it seldom comes into the cost equation.
2023 S60 sedan, 11,000 miles in Pennsylvania, 104mpg, about $35/mo to charge at $.168 per kWh. And if my charging expense had instead bought gasoline, the mpg would be 61.
Heb genoten van je video. Ik begreep uit de eerdere video met deze auto dat je er een volledige week mee aan het sturen bent geweest. Hoe was over die hele week het verbruik? Hoeveel kilometers heb je volledig elektrisch gereden, hoeveel puur op benzine en hoeveel gecombineerd? kijkend naar het verbruik. Hoe verhoud dit zich in kW per km en liters per km, al dan niet gecombineerd. Het feit dat ik zoveel vraag heeft te maken met het feit dat ik "met aan zekerheid grenzende waarschijnlijkheid" ga voor een nieuwe V60 T6 recharge in Ultimate trim... Ben benieuwd naar je reactie!
Bedankt René! Na een kleine 1200km rijden zat ik op de 5.5l per 100km. Komt vooral doordat ik weinig of bezette laders had op m'n bestemmingen.. Beetje pech dus, het had echt wel wat zuiniger gekund nog; als je maar kan laden... 😊
Thanks for the video! Let’s say you are doing a 100 km trip, is it better to leave car in hybrid mode all the time, or drive in pure, then when battery is depleted it will use engine?
Drive in Hybrid, and make sure you have your destination / final destination in the (Google based) navigation system. That way the car knows the best time to use the electric motor and the best time for the petrol engine.
Yep good one! Forgot to mention that. Though for test purpose I didn’t opt for that, also experienced that I prefer different over what the car thinks.
@@thom-lov So do I :-) I always think I can do better (switching between hold for later and hybrid modes). But when my wife drives the same type of route on empty / nearly empty battery just on hybrid and lets the car figure it out, she always gets much better mileage figures than I do!
Next test of the XC60 please check at night the light at the back for driving to the back. Most worsest light I ever had at a car. Also the 365 cameras do not perform good at night and unfortunately it is more a blind flight. But I guess this is the onliest negative point of the XC 60.
Not impressed with an efficiency, 8lt/10km for a built-in hybrid mode - is super high consumption. Meaning this car is NOT for longer drives. I personally do 10 plus journeys a year when I cover about 1k km a day.
Why would one want the complexity and servicing of the ICE engine and the weight and complexity of the EV and hybrid components? If you run out of battery the engine consumption is worse because it's heavier The battery is smaller then am actually EV and also carries the weight... Cost of actual ownership?
