Got the option for full electric via salary sacrifice, but the premium models (Volvo and non-Volvo) are way too expensive and I'm still not convinced on the whole EV thing anyway.
I'll pop in to my local dealer on the way home and have a chat with them.

If it's of any help, I drove a Mercedes EQC EV for two years as a company car. The car itself and the EV propulsion were superb andit was a very enjoyable car to drive. I had free charging at work, so the cost wasn't relevant. However, the range went from 240 miles in summer, to 165 miles in winter and the charging, whist rapid, I found a real pain. Having to plan in an hour's stop to charge, on any round trip over 170 miles in winter wore thin very quickly. I went form EV to PHEV with my V60 recharge (2021) and I love it; setting off to drive 300 miles, knowing it will take me 5 minutes to refuel is almost exciting! Obviously, only my opinion, but something to bear in mind if you're as impatient as I am!
