So I will be taking it into Volvo ASAP!

The number I called is 01628 422 522

They'll also charge you (half an) hour's labour for the privilege!

Update. Had the car serviced at Volvo Chiswick. Very helpful! Its all up to date now. I also bought the Volvo OEM non 3 pin plug charge cable. £320 but I thought it was worth it. They confirmed I can charge it anywhere with the right connector.

Also today had some Michelin Cross Climates fitted. Its looking very nice IMO. I'm pleased that they slightly protrude the rim, so there is some kerb protection.

All set and ready for us to use the hell out of the car!

So far with 1000 miles covered, MPG is 74.5mpg. Mixture of town and motorway driving. 680 miles from a tank.

Overall, I love this car! Very impressed with it. Its very satisfying to buzz around town on the electric motor, then hit the open road with no worries.

Glad you like it! I'm at 71mpg over the last 6000m with a tank best of 138.8 when everything was under 25m and we charged everyday for weeks - doubt I'll do that again !I

How do you find the ride...?

The ride is very nice. Coming from a 5 series, the V60 is far more nimble but also comfortable, close to the 5 series. I really can’t fault the car. Only on 1000 miles, but so far so good.

Good.

I've also got Cross Climates on, but I find the ride a bit 'brittle' on roads near me. Playing around with the tyre pressures doesn't seem to make much difference, so I've half thought about replacing the front shocks with Koni Special Active ones in the future, perhaps.

Other than that, it's a clever bit of kit.

Ah, I see. Specific to the Cross Climates? not sure, just had them put on. I like to run 40psi, so that might be an issue. I will keep an eye on that.
