New hybrid owner, charging question
Well, I did it. Never thought I'd defect to the electric side.
Picked up a nice 50,000 mile 2017 d6 after selling my xc70 to my dad. I wanted to pick the brains of the hive mind so I don't look like a donkey at the charging stations. What are my options while out and about? Say for example is plugging in for an hours shopping going to give me a "fast charge"? Or should I just save it for home/work charging? And what are my limitations on current? I would like to put a weatherproof mains connection to plug in the supplied "variable" current charger out back of my house, but I'm not 100% sure what the max could be. I must say, I'm impressed with it. Going from a 215bhp xc70 d5 to this "290bhp" rocketship, I'm loving it's perks. The criticisms of it being a heavy barge when thrown around appear false (they've never driven an XC or a 940 I guess) But the seating position certainly hurts the feet because you can't put them in a comfortable position. |

I don't think these cars have a fast charge option. The battery is 11.2kWh/8kWh usable. On a standard 13A single phase that will be about 3 hours.
With those numbers I doubt there will be a CCS plug just the Type 2. Most EVs allow 11kW charging from AC, the new XC30 allows 22kW which is 32A at three phase. A hybrid car with an 11kWh battery will not have 11kW power inverter onboard. You can use an 11kW or 22kW AC charge point, the 3.6 or possibly 6.4kW inverter fitted to the car will be the limiting factor how fast your car will charge.

Well, I've already banged 500 miles on since I bought it! I made sure the diesel engine had a run!
I dislike not having a dipstick to check the condition of it! It's due oil change in 4 months, I think I'll be dropping it before then! |

A diesel hybrid is the way I want to go. My wife already has an EV for short journeys within a 150 miles radius of home.
I'd want something with about 60 miles pure EV and diesel for distance. Only Mercedes has a product for that at the moment and it's €90k. Having the S60 diesel spoils me for range compared with my petrol car, OK, I didn't buy that model for outright economy. Last summer we took the petrol estate to Italy, it needed 7 fill ups, this year we're taking the Volvo, I reckon it'll be less than three tanks. I don't find having to plan for a fuel stop every 300 miles particularly relaxing. That's like riding my bike and having to think about stopping every couple of hours.

With this been a 2017 model does it have the 5 cylinder or the VEA engine? I thought the D6 was only a 5 cylinder but 2017 model would suggest otherwise. It would be an extra win win if it’s a 5 cylinder in my opinion. Just out of interest.

Coming from a Euro 5 d5, I just found them to be a really pleasant sounding smooth and powerful engine. So I was over the moon when I saw its got a hybrid counterpart! |

Max on the 3-pin home charger is 10 amps, so slightly slower, approx 4.5 hours. Nice buy with 50k miles though, almost new!
