Did you opt for the Type 2 cable as opposed to the supplied charger? If so, buy a home charge point. This can be a 3 pin plug one, which will take maybe 3 1/2 hours to charge the hybrid battery from empty, or a dedicated one with either a tethered cable or socket. You get a £500 government grant for this. I opted for a 7.2kW charge point even though my XC60 only charges at 3.6kW or so, to add a little future proofing.

Remember your ABC - Always Be Charging!
Thank for the reply and advice. I have opted for the Type 2 cable but I was not aware of the grants so will take a look into that today. I will also look at the 'Zap Map' which I pressume is an app? My normal daily commute is under 20 miles so will remember the ABC in order to hopefully be using Electric only.
