If they can get 80 miles range out of the taxi battery why only ~18 out of the XC90 T8. Wonder if it will end up in the T8 or will we all be driving taxi's.

The taxi is a designed to be pure electric car so has space for a larger battery. It's engine is NOT connected to the wheels it just runs a generator to help charge the battery or run the electric motor if the car runs out of battery range .

From what I understand, improvements in battery technology will soon see to that. |

SHMBO has a Hyundai Ioniq Electric, and this has a theoretical 130miles on battery (110 in practice during the summer), in a saloon car.
You'd be forgiven for thinking the XC90 would have a battery space big enough to accommodate batteries similar in size and capacity to Hyundai's. The heavier volvo wouldn't manage the 110miles maybe, but possibly 80 or so. |
