The commute that I do is 50 miles each way each day, about 40 miles is motorway or free flowing dual carriageways. About 10 miles is more flowing stop start type. I have a drive way so could charge daily however I could not top up at work. The T8 is a lot more than the diesel however if you buy second hand the 80,000 mile warrenty on the pack does not apply as its only for the original owner (I understand). The Diesel would do 40MPG on that sort of run and offer all the power I need. I doubt I would better 40MPG with the Hybrid on that sort or millage??? Whats your thoughts on it? |

Hi XC90 Mk1
I cannot say 100% but tbh I bet there is little difference in it, and then take cost of fuel difference, then add full charge difference, with is only like £1-10 at 14p KWH cost, depends if you are on off peak for night time, mine is 5.5p KWH so charge at night. I assume you use the car for other journeys more local to make up the difference if there is one. As you said also difference in cost to buy. I have not heard about warranty transfer of batteries after 3 years, I doubt they would put that in, certainly something I have not been told. it is a tough choice, but there is quite a difference in the drive of a T8 in every aspect compared to a T5 and D5. To make matters worse T8 demos are so rare as well. As yours is such a long term plan it is a tough call.

Also planning ahead, work, I do not know where you park, or work for, but there is a huge incentive for companies to supply charging stations, and certainly in the next few years will see massive changes. Another one as well Polar, they only charge like £7-00 PM and you have access to 80% chargers FOC, if there are any in areas around your trips, well worth investigating, does not take many charges to get your money back, of course charger places I think will become,me a problem over the next few years, the demand will overtake the places available, where as at the moment I have never failed to get a place to charge car. Good Luck.
