I like the Volvo brand, this one an XC60 T8 Recharge Hybrid, is my fourth. Sadly the PHEV has only a single rate 3.7kW charger and it takes 3 to 4 hours to charge. Whilst that is ok overnight at home, it makes the recharging option impossible on a cross country run - a 3 hour lunch break!!

Given the chance again I think that I would give more thought to the Land Rover Discovery Sport PHEV. A frugal 3 cylinder engine, 15kW battery and a multi-rate charger.

Sorry Volvo, the future is Electric, but perhaps not Volvo!
